The Unboxing Experience
The premium Galaxy Fold experience starts when you open the box. The device is laid out flat, inviting you to have your first experience of folding the device. Each Galaxy Fold is accompanied by a welcome message and care instructions offering clear guidance for how to use this new, luxury device.
Each Galaxy Fold comes with Galaxy Buds in the box, so that one can fully enjoy its superior multimedia experience on the go. For added protection, a unique slim Aramid Fiber case is also included in the box. Designed just for Galaxy Fold, this special case made of fiber has high capacity to withstand pressure.
A Smartphone. A Tablet. Folded into One
Galaxy Fold is a new category of its own. It delivers a new kind of mobile experience allowing users to do things they couldn't do with an ordinary smartphone. Users now have the best of both worlds; a compact device that unfolds to reveal Samsung's largest-ever smartphone display. Galaxy Fold brings together material, engineering and display innovations, developed over eight years following the debut of Samsung's first flexible display prototype in 2011.
Galaxy Fold combines users' favorite smartphone and tablet features to deliver a new kind of mobile device and a first-of-its-kind user experience—from a new form factor and materials to its unique foldable UX, versatile camera and premium performance. Samsung worked alongside partners to create an entirely new UX that will change the way we use our mobile devices and takes full advantage of the foldable design with its cover and main displays. As a result, the device opens up new possibilities for users.
A Whole New Experience
Galaxy Fold was designed with smartphone users in mind – driven by bigger and better form factors that boost their experiences. Galaxy Fold changes to the screen you need, the moment you need it. Slip it out of your pocket for one-handed calls, texts, and more and open for endless multitasking and higher quality viewing on our largest mobile display for presentations, digital magazines, movies, and AR content.
The unique UX built just for Galaxy Fold, provides new ways to get the most out of your smartphone:
Samsung has worked with Google and the Android developer community to ensure that apps and services are available for the Galaxy Fold's unique experience.
Premium Performance Built to Fold
Galaxy Fold is built for the heaviest and intense use whether it's working, playing or sharing – all of which requires advanced performance. Packed with powerful hardware, the Galaxy Fold is more than up to the task.
Do it All with Galaxy Fold
Galaxy Fold is more than a mobile device. It's a portal to an entire galaxy of connected devices and services that Samsung has developed over the years to make it easier for consumers do the things that they couldn't do before. Pair with Samsung DeX for even more productivity power with a PC-like experience. Bixby is supported with new personal intelligence functionalities like Bixby Routines to help anticipate your needs, and Samsung Knox will keep your data and information safe. From using your phone to make purchases with Samsung Pay, to using Samsung Health to manage your health and wellness, the Galaxy ecosystem is there as you pursue things you're passionate about.
