The Samsung Galaxy Fold smartphone has been unveiled by the technology brand as a new approach to mobile devices that aims to expand functionalities for users for a more immersive experience.
The smartphone features a crisp OLED panel display on the exterior that will allow users to get small tasks done whenever required; the device folds open to reveal an expansive display on the interior to transform it into a full tablet. This makes it perfect for watching content, playing games and beyond to offer users a two-in-one device that addresses their needs at all points within the day, while also eliminating the need for both a smartphone and a tablet.
