Samsung Galaxy Fold comes with foldable display and six cameras

Not if you’re comparing like for like pricing.

Another interesting tidbit you neglected to mention.

This new device is around $750 more than a new S10 plus a Tab S2 8” and you only get 4.7” on the front screen with the Fold.

Yes it is more expensive than samsung combo. But it is still cheaper than apple combo which sells very well.

@Marty

You over paid for that phone. And why would you compare 2 different tools? If you need a lens, buy a lens. If you need a phone/smart phone also go buy it.

It’s not exactly fair to compare the price of cutting edge tech to the price of middling tech.

A smartphone enthusiast may well pay $2000 for this device just like camera enthusiasts paid $10k+ for a new Sony A9 and the best GM lenses. These things only make sense when comparing apples to apples.

We don't know anyone will buy this. Wont ship for months

I actually use my Android tablet for reading books.
I use Amazon's Kindle app and add to it all my book purchases as well as other PDF files.
The Kindle app is also available for other operating systems, including Windows.

I think @milkod2001 is one of the 10 people who bought those Windows phones.

I didn't mean it to be phone if running windows :). And yeah i had 2 windows phones. They were great but lack of apps especially youtube made me to switch back to Android :(.

Being he first in tech is usually not the best business practice. Releasing the most user friendly, engaging, and reliable tech are.

@Fly I am not partial to Samsung or Apple or anyone for that matter. I had a lot of respect for Apple when they came up with iPhone. I like companies that innovate. I don't like companies that charge more for the same mediocre tech repackaged and re-labeled. I like Samsung because they innovate. I had to repeat this here, because I don't think you read it the first time around.

@Maksim Yankovskiy
What did Samsung innovate in SMARTPHONES in the last 3-4 years?

Didn't Samsung make a commercial poking fun of Apple's iPhone notch? Now, all of a sudden notches are fine?

How about this: wireless charging embedded in smartphones years (without requiring charging pad adapters) before Apple. Foldable screen. Fingerprint embedded into the screen (S10). Ability to use your phone as wireless charger (S10). Ability to make device waterproof while still having stylus and removable MicroSD. Fast charging. Fast wireless charging. I can go on, but I think the picture is clear. What did Apple innovate in the past 3 years, except for pioneering a phone that broke $1k barrier?

@Maksim Yankovskiy

Wow. How can Humanity survive without those “innovations”?

So for you, innovation, for Samsung, means they bring a “feature” to the market before Apple? Ok. Got it.

@Fly, yes, innovation means developing a technology before anyone else. Technology can be a new approach or a new method. Consider reading up on US Patent Law a bit or try filing a patent yourself. As far as surviving, we were fine before smartphones, or even before phones, so what's your point? That doesn't negate the concept of innovation or a need for it. But Apple fans are perfectly happy being milked from their hard earned money buying the same tech over and over again. Innovation at Apple stopped when Steve Job's heart stopped beating. By the way, I have a sneaking suspicion that if Apple were to introduce foldable screens, you would scream "game changer".

@thenoilif
Exactly. @Maksim Yankovsskiy only sees and refers to Apple when he (they) talks about Samsung! In denial that others innovate too. Sad, to be honest.

I am obviously off base here. Forgive me for ignoring Apple's endless innovation. I am just a bit surprised that when researching foldable screens, Apple's name does not come up. LG does. Sony does. Samsung does. I am bringing up Apple because they have shady practices when it comes to their existing user base ("we will help you manage power for your old phones, but it will slow down, and we won't tell you that, so maybe you will buy new smartphone). Can Apple make a phone that doesn't have to be charged all the time? Sure they can. Samsung did. But Apple won't, because it is not a good business model. My Note 8 is over 18 months old and lasts 30 hours on a charge easy. My wife's iPhone X barely lasts 12 hours. LOL. Enjoy your Apple products, gentlemen. They clearly have an edge when it comes to innovation.

Yes, they do. In fact they even give you options to slow it down even more, give up features to extend battery life on a charge. What they don't do is they don't do it silently. They give you a tool to make a decision. Apple takes the approach "we know better, because you are just a consumer, what do you know. Let us just "optimize" the phone for you without telling you." Cool philosophy.

Not true. My phones automatically slow down after an update. There is no pop up that gives me an option for this at the update.

I used to use Sony Experia phones and they also slowed down after each update without notice.

@Maksim Yankovsskiy

Obviously you have issues with Apple.

@Fly, bravo! What tipped you off?

@Maksim Yankovsskiy
Funny you think that’s a good thing.
It’s interesting that you you’re mad and hate a company that you claim you don’t use.

Kind of... think of it as a hybrid of 6 cameras with a mobile phone thrown in :)
