Samsung Galaxy Fold 6958B

Comment:

This by far is the best phone i have ever owned. I’ve been waiting on some thing new like this for a really long time. Once i found out that they were working on a fold able phone about 6 years ago I knew I had to have one. Phones in the past 10 years have gotten somewhat boring, nothing really new just increasing the screen a bit here and there. Now with the fold, this totally changes the game. a reason to be excited once again to get a new phone. I have been using the fold for a bit over a week now and I am still in love with it. I do recommend to get the extra protection though just to be safe and protect your investment. I really hope for the next version the do make it water and dust resistant that would complete the package

I’m absolutely in love with the phone!!! I have always been an avid iPhone user but once this great piece of technology came out I just had to try it. At first i was a little nervous about the quality and durability of the phone but after having it for over a week as my every day device I can say it’s not as fragile as some claim. Don’t get me wrong it’s not like other premium phones with ip68 ratings but it can withstand normal every day use. Also if you’re concerned about keeping it protected get the Geek Squad Protection Plan the deductible is only $199 which is 1/10th the price of the phone and well worth it for the investment.

I drive big trucks for a living and I’m not having any problems with the phone. I love it. I carried in a sunglass case just to keep the dust out. It is definitely a conversation starter. Can’t wait to see if the second generation is going to be. Good job Samsung

I’ve had the Galaxy Fold for two weeks now and have really enjoyed using a true all-in-one device that can be both a phone and a tablet. Professional reviewers have written about the device being fragile, but I think many are overreacting due to the initial samples back in the Spring.
This phone has a very solid build quality. It has some weight to it, but that makes it feel sturdy and well constructed. If you’ve seen the iFixit teardown, Samsung implemented a large number of under the hood changes to strengthen the device and the inner screen. Yes, the inner screen is a plastic material, and you could scratch it if you rubbed sand on it or dug your fingernail into it, but why would you do that? The screen handles normal use just fine and looks beautiful like all of Samsung’s AMOLED screens. There is no dust or water resistance, so be careful around water sources, but the majority of phones have only had IP ratings over the past few years anyway.
Depending on how light reflects off of it, you can see the crease, and you can feel it with your finger, but it responds perfectly to touches and swipes. When looking straight on with content on the screen, you don’t notice the crease at all.
The aspect ratio of the inner screen is great for displaying web pages, reading books or magazines, for viewing productivity apps, and for playing games. It creates an immersive experience, even with the notch, which I barely notice anymore.
Video content will have black bars, but it looks fantastic. Pull up some HDR content from YouTube or Netflix and the colors really pop.
I was initially concerned about the size of the outer screen, but I’ve grown to like it quite a bit. It is a great one-handled screen to quickly scroll through emails, web pages, and social media feeds. You can adjust the font size slightly to make the text a little easier to read. The keyboard on the outer screen is cramped, but with some practice it works well, and swiping across the keys works well.
Overall, I am very happy with the purchase of this phone. It is something different than current phone designs which are all basically the same. I’m sure Samsung will iterate on the design and make it even better, but this device shows what can be done with a folding design. If you have any interest, don’t hesitate to pick one up a try it out.

The design is good. I really need to take care of this phone in order not to break it. I don’t love the included case but it’s ok for normal use. The speaker is good. The biggest problem is the wrong placement of the camera when unfolded. I normally hold the phone one the side that I will not get in the way of the speaker, but the light sensor will get in to the way of you hold it like that and it will dim your screen which is a terrible experience.

I waited 5 yrs for this concept to come out and love it for a 1st Gen. I can’t put it down, and I do, but carefully, (smile) this is a 1st step for the future for foldable phones and 2nd look to fixing problems that a rise, im glad samsung didn’t choke or give up, im glad to be a part of a secret elite group for change.

also hope they will update and fix some of apps to work on both screen. love the style & smooth comfort of the the cell, funny I do love the small screen for quick looks, and yes the cameras do take great shots.

Im happy to be a trailblazer for samsung on this item, come on apple, get in the game!!, not happy about the price, im sure the cost will come down when more come out and take the risk too, remember the 1st Gen. IPad, think about it and be bold.

Crease is only noticeable in certain lighting. Only issue for me is texting from the front screen. Just a little too small.

Bought this for my wife and she loves it. Perfect phone for work or play. Two devices in one phone and tablet. Small enough to put in your pocket or purse. You can use it open or closed and the ear buds that come with the phone super nice and clear!! Might have to get me one as well!!
