Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Samsung Galaxy Fold Unboxing”.
All right, very exciting Willie do he’s, got a special package today he pulled some strings. Would you look at this? Oh, my goodness, galaxy F, oh l D. I mean this is highly anticipated. Let’S be honest, this is the one people have been waiting for.
I’Ve been waiting for myself. I talked about this thing a lot and now it’s here, it’s in front of me. This is a hole.
This is a leap in a completely different direction: the slender phone and then the flip out scenario into an almost tablet. Like experience how’s, it gon na work, how’s it gon na function. I don’t know what better way to find out than to jump in the box. Get the hands-on experience slide this out. Okay, here we go it’s the box in the box. There’S a number of combinations.
You can get this one in front of me: silver with space silver hinge; okay, oh it’s got the galaxy buds inside okay, we got the galaxy buds now this device will feature the wireless charge, sharing you’ll be able to drop this guy on to the galaxy fold And charge this up right from the device, the fast charge, power, brick type-c, cable, to keep the charged up and the interchangeable ear tips for those galaxy buds that I mentioned now. Also in here there is this little adapter. That’S for transferring your data over to the new device, okay, but this is what you care about.
This is what you’re interested in myself included. Look at how slim that is already oh, oh! This, of course, is the full-fledged galaxy fold right there. That’S wild real, quick. What Jack you never saw that before? Let’S be honest here: okay, that’s your phone or it’s your tablet. What we’re talking here about OLED, if you didn’t have OLED you’re, not folding, displays you can see on the front here, two forward-facing cameras. We flip it around to the back. You see a triple camera setup in this location, so we’ve got a wide ultra wide and telephoto. This is already such an unusual experience with bold in it with both hands. Now we’re catching our first glimpse actually at the keyboard, and you see you get this split layout, there’s a lot of different ways to unlock this device, face recognition, fingerprint pattern pin password.
Let’S give the fingerprint a go here, so fingerprint scanner right there jack it’s a side, mounted scanner reminiscent of the galaxy s 10 e scan in my thumbprint. Alright, I think we’re in it’s booted up. This is your that’s! What you’re, looking at there now you can see the the butterfly wings or the wings. Do they flap they fold? So does the device of course close it up for a minute? So this is a four point. Six inch display. It has nothing to do with the inside display. This is a supplementary display on the outside. It’S seven twenty by sixteen eighty now this is gon na, be useful, of course, for quick interactions.
Phone calls things along these lines. You just need to pop this up to your face and it’s very slender. Actually I mean it’s got weight to it as you’d expect. There’S a lot of components at play.
It’S really interesting. Now there must be some kind of magnet at the end of it, because when you get to the full clothes it sits there, let’s say I’ve got you tube open and now I’m like alright, I need a bigger display to navigate YouTube. I want to watch some videos, you just flip this open and it’s it’s quick. It’S actually quick you’re scrolling around you’re, looking for a video to watch. If you actually get into a video, let’s say click on this video playing here, flip it open it doesn’t skit. It’S kind of like iPad Mini territory scale-wise, so it’s 21 52 by 1536 at 7.3 inches. So it really is. It’S like a small tablet experience to transition into a real immersive video viewing experience you just flip it open.
These devices have become such major consumption devices. For us, you saw screens scale up over time on smartphones back in a day when the original note series came out everyone’s, like that’s crazy, we were like no one’s gon na put that in their pocket and then inevitably, people did now it’s commonplace to see. Somebody sitting on a couch with their smartphone sort of cranked up in front of their eyeballs in an uncomfortable position. But now, when you go all the way to this form factor right here and you’re kind of in small tablet, territory, that entire experience has become less uncomfortable, like a YouTube session on this thing, is a totally different proposition than a YouTube session on a smartphone. As it currently stands, but as far as I can tell I mean this – is the biggest video watching experience. I think I’ve ever had on a phone.
It’S super easy to hold like you’re holding it like this. This is real life now guys. This is what its gon na be on the street on the bench in the public transit. It’S a whole new thing and you’re gon na notice it from a mile away. I think this thing has fully engaged the sci-fi lue right now, but what we’re looking at is the convergence of these various devices into a singular device. Can this thing get to a point where it can legitimately put replace the laptop as well? This is a real future. I’M convinced now keep in mind like we said before you close it down. It’S like closing, a laptop, it’s ready for the pocket and it’s slender and it’s real fancy looking. This is a double tap to wake this up on the outside. Like this, but then over here to unlock it, and then this is your screen off switch and fingerprints unlock when I’m out on the street when I’m out just living life.
How often do I transition between the two modes? I would think I could get by through a lot of scenarios in the clamshell you’re surfing the web. You know you hit up Twitter you’re, just it’s a whole different thing going on definitely expensive. We should talk about that means $ 1,980. Well USD.
It is a powerhouse, though 12 gigs of ram in this monster Snapdragon a 55. It’S got a 4380 battery. I really think it’s the future. It’S crazy to say I didn’t know.
I was gon na say it did some futuristic stuff. I don’t the 12 year old me like holy moly man like just when you thought things were getting stagnant and now that’s real. Now, that’s a thing. That’S an actual! That’S a thing going on now. I do need to say it’s very important. Okay, I do need to say you can see where the display folds over it depends on the background as well. I made videos on this.
I expected this to be the case and the truth is I don’t care, I don’t care at all. They said magic ranting and raving aside here it still got a camera hole. The setup is very similar to the s10. You have the typical wide you have the ultra wide and, of course you also have the telephoto here’s telephoto first typical wide and in my favorite ultra wide hold, my goodness gracious. So that’s your ultra wide image. There’S your wide and there’s your telephoto and, as you can see you can compose just like this. Just like you normally would lot to grip onto there. So you can see in landscape. I can go ultra wide, quick standard, wide, quick, telephoto, quick and then I can fold it out and I’m still in the camera module.
Interestingly enough, the same cannot be said for the front-facing cameras, because of course we have two units here and a single unit on the outside and we selphie a slightly wider image and a slightly closer one, very nice Wow Jack. That’S the the biggest selfie we’ve ever analyzed here in a channel. That’S a nice! That’S a contrast! So that’s a 10 megapixel camera! Now on the inside. You have the two camera modules: there. You have a 10 megapixel and an 8 megapixel and we’ll try these ones out as well. We’Ll see if we get any difference so performance I’d say is similar on the outside camera and the inside camera. Now, what about the speakers so first, I guess we’ll test it for dialogue with a typical YouTube, video from Apple laptops from Mac books of all sorts legit stereos loud. You have a speaker unit in this location over here and as well as on the other side.
Over here so legit stereo sound, that’s, convenient cuz. Then you can charge other things up with this brick in your bag. Let’S try some music, real, quick. It’S got a crispy, sound, it’s detailed and you got sound out of the left and right side.
You actually have legit stereo separation, which is which is so unusual in a smartphone space. I mean that’s really impressive, I’m happy with that. What can we really say about it? You come into this thing. You want to be skeptical as your job to be skeptical and and of course I can find a way to do that because of the price, it’s still very expensive.
It’S almost 2 grand and I realized not everybody’s gon na – be able to to splurge and spend two G’s, but you want to frame it a little bit differently. You can say what, if that individual is in the market, for a tablet and a phone I got ta say just as a tech fan, though I mean it’s so refreshing to look at something. That’S so different, a completely different take on something that you’re so used to and then in the other departments, where it just has to be a phone first and foremost, it’s kind of like a repackaged as 10, which I mean you already know, one of the best Phones out there, you guys have watched enough videos to know it’s coming through right. The excitement level is coming through or it’s not and – and this is legit – this is the real thing all right.
Let’S look at the other colors, oh, my goodness, gracious! This is bananas. Oh, my God, look at this oh-ho, that is the blue, which kind of has like a cool purplish hue to it. With the gold hinge. This one is gold on gold, or is that green? That’S an emerald kind of green greenish gold with the gold hinge.
That’S black with the black hinge. What do they call it as well? Green, Martian, green, okay, that’s Martian green would be silver hinge. Astro blue with the silver hinge dark silver. Oh, my goodness, gracious kind of like outfitting, the interior of a luxury car. You don’t just pick the color anymore, you pick the color, you pick the hinge. What a time to be alive. Ladies and gentlemen, our smartphones are folding now like just stop and think about the engineering involved, all the people involved. When you start to imagine, then the appreciation comes in that, ultimately we get to experience stuff like this, because all those people going after that ambition, that’s always been exciting and its products like this that bring me back to that excitement from day one.
It’S the reason. This channel exists and it’s the reason that it’s started. That’S the Samsung Galaxy fold. .
