Samsung announces Galaxy Fold foldable phone priced at $1,980
Samsung's Galaxy Fold foldable phone is here and it looks absolutely insane.
At its big Unpacked event on Wednesday, Samsung finally showed the Galaxy Fold in full, unfolding its 4.6-inch display into a 7.3-inch tablet.

If you balked at a $1,000 phone, you're gonna lose your mind at the Fold's pricing.

About that hinge... it's the prettiest we've seen on any foldable phone (concept or not). It definitely didn't look "crunchy."
That said, you can still see a visible crease, as my colleague Karissa noted:

"It's a smartphone, tablet, and camera," Justin Denison, Samsung's senior vice president of mobile in the U.S., said during the Unpacked keynote.

With an unconventional phone display aspect ratio (21:9 when folded and 4.2:3 when unfolded), developers will need to optimize their apps and, well, that could be a while. There's also little incentive for developers to customize their apps justfor Samsung. But we'll see what happens!

When unfolded, the screen can be used to display three apps at once — a first for any smartphone. Samsung demoed two apps running simultaneously, and a third app by sliding over it just like on an iPad Pro.

Samsung won't be the only one with a foldable phone this year. Chinese phone makers such as Xiaomi, Oppo, and Huawei are all planning to show off foldable phones at Mobile World Congress in a few days.
But how many of them will be able to ship a device soon? Samsung has everyone beat so far.
