Samsung Galaxy Fold. Who is picking one up?

[Lepa79]

I won't lie. I want one. That thing is sweet. Yes yes, 1st Gen, issues exists and so forth, but man that thing is the future. Sadly, I just can't spend away $1,980.

Who is getting one here?

I don't think you'll get much action in the Pixel threads as far as someone buying one. Personally, I wouldn't touch it even for half the price. Maybe 3rd or 4th gen if it survives.

For me:
It's too bulky when folded.
The external display is too small.
The internal display is hideous including the crease and notch
I don't trust the hinge design as far as particulate entry.
The plastic display is too delicate.

Where are all the notch haters on this one? People complain the iPhone and Pixel notches and suddenly the mother of all notches is released and all we hear are crickets.

Nah, I'm not even somewhat interested. I wouldn't use it as my daily phone or even as a backup. It's ugly, the form factor seems awkward for convenient portability and case options are very limited. I'd also be concerned about durability.

 

[mustang7757]

I always love new tech , but think the hinge needs to be better , I'd prefer and would've liked if you could slide out that extra screen from the side of the device

for $500? maybe I would for a conversation starter

 

[bhatech]

I definitely would love to pick up but not sure if I'm willing to drop $2200 after tax for a first gen product. Worried about the hinge and screen durability in general. And good luck with Samsung crappy customer service if anything goes wrong with your $2k phone.

You'd see the uproar if the notch was ported over to the s or note series.

Definite pass for me, but I think the tech advancement is great! Pushing things forward like this is ambitious.

So is it OK on a 2000 Xperimental device?

 

[robinhelenehebert]

Yep and it just doesn't sway me one bit. I'm waiting for the next iPhone lol.

Hopefully it will be a good upgrade from my iPhone X

Let's hope!! They need to do better with the cameras too which is ironic because they did set the standard at one point.

Yeah I think they will. I hear rumors they are concentrating on that as a highlight so we see what happens.

Yeah when they do , wont be a hinge or crease in it they wont put something in the market until they perfect it.

Pretty much every company releases some products that haven't been perfected. Apple isn't any different.

Yes.... exactly. They may not do it for awhile but when they do I predict it will be better than what we have seen so far.
