Galaxy Fold Hands-On: The Folding Phone Is Back!
There was a time when almost every phone was a folding phone, and you know what? I wish we’d never left those days behind. A folding phone is petite when you pocket it, full-sized when you flip it out – and as a bonus, it protects those important interior bits when you close it back up. The trouble is, no one’s been able to figure out how to give you the benefits of a big phone with the portability of a small one … until now. This is the Galaxy Fold from Samsung, and it’s about to flip the smartphone world inside-out.

This is only first gen. I'm sure in no time those bezels will he nearly gone. I'm very impressed with this and 20 year old me would have bought this on day 1 but I'm old now and I got kids and shit. I cant justify spending that much… unless somebody makes a dock that also makes this thing power a laptop. Then we in there.
I can't wait till this technology becomes the norm ? I absolutely love this stuff lol.
Samsung is always best !!!!
I love you @mrmobile
Really not liking this phone design – at all.
I wish there was a physical keyboard on the front when unfolded, that way you could really have it all, instead of this wasted space below the screen
WOW not to the F….. FOLD!!! but for the quality of video Mr. fisher brings to tech reviews!!!
Excellent review, Michael.
Man.. your voice!!!! You are Don LaFontaine of YouTube ??
I jumped on the Galaxy Note in 2011. Imported mine from China. Got the first OnePlus via invite. Unfortunately, I don't feel the same way about the fold. We'll see what it looks like in 2024 if it's still a thing ??♂️
I want a phone that pops open like a Chinese fan. Flick it open, flick it closed.
love your bg music! all hail mrmobile lol
How long until we see videos of the breakage?
A tablet is better than fold!
Wow Amazing phone ?
Spoke too soon
I will keep my note 9 fore now. The concept of the Fold is good but needs a few more years before i am buying
This phone is breaking , DO NOT BUY IT !!!!!!
Apparently they are already breaking…

It really doesn't protect it's inner display. If I had some sand in my pocket or even some little pieces of lint, they're gonna get in-between that pretty large gap and scratch it since it's plastic. And no screen protectors either, so no scratch protection.
Only review I care about
It's like you make content on a completely different perspective. Your identity bleeds out from cinematography to dialogue, sponsorship segment to how you end your videos. Like at the end of it I'm like, this is Michael Fisher's coverage of insert a product name
edit: i also forgot your lifelong fanaticism on star trek and the likes of it.
I've been watching your content for almost 10 years now and I'm still interested in anything that you work on.
skip that gimme that cloth thing from after earth
The front screen is too small to be used in day to day, and the inside screen is not worth it to watch stuff, specially the strange aspect ratio to watch video and movies.
Huawei did it better, in my opinion.
But Samsung do look more premium tho.
Failed, not ready yet.
I don’t think I’ll ever buy a foldable smartphone. I’m satisfied with the way phones are right now
Forget the folding phone. Check out the new aspect ratio! ?
Until the screen bleeds. It's happening. Hahahaha. Awesome vid MF!
It should be the note series
4:3 ratio?
You should check out the Redmi Note 7 pro . It's the cheapest smartphone with a 48mp camera .
Imagine a full infinity-type-cover front display, no notch on the inside screen and a pen + IP68? Now that will be something.
No S-Pen Included? Samsung screwed the pooch on that alone after demanding $2k with no S-pen for a Phablet phone.
God this tablet is ugly
Finally Qualcomm sponser someone
