Watch Samsung unveil the Galaxy Fold

2019-02-20
at Samsung were driven to invent meaningful breakthroughs and these days we essentially live on our phones right our screens are the windows to our worlds but despite all the progress we've made the size of our screens is still fundamentally limited by the size of our devices until now with the Galaxy fold we're creating a new dimension for your phone and your life we're giving you a device that doesn't just define a new category it defies category with the Galaxy fold you get a powerful smartphone and a revolutionary tablet all in a single premium package what is folded it has a 4.6 inch display it's compact and perfectly portable but when the device opens up your world does too with a massive 7.3 inch Infinity flex display that transforms the fold into a tablet thank you thank you it's gorgeous now in order to create a brand new type of smartphone we had to develop brand new ways to design engineer and manufacture from the screen to the frame to every element you can see in touch we left no stone unturned one of the biggest challenges was building the backbone of the device something that could hold strong even after hundreds of thousands of folds and unfolds so we invented a sophisticated hinge system that allows you to open and close the galaxy fold smoothly and naturally and the beauty of it is you don't even see it the hinges multiple interlocking gears are hidden giving the device a seamless elegant look and that's just one of the ways we carefully consider the design of the fold we also gave you four Galactic colors to choose from cosmos black space silver Martian green or Astro blue thank you and depending on the color you choose you can make it your own by personalizing the hinge color to all right they like it the Galaxy fold is a one-of-a-kind luxury device and there are limitless ways use it with two different screens it's perfect for any situation when closed it fits right in the palm of your hand so you can send a message to a friend or make a call with one hand while you're on the go of course sometimes you want a larger screen and the galaxy folds infinity flex display gives you a powerful multimedia experience with immersive visuals and sound buy AKG your favorite movies come to life in vivid color and rich audio and the interior screen is so large that it powers a truly next-generation experience one never Bhasin never before seen on a smartphone three app multi testing yeah thank you so you can watch a YouTube video of Hawaii text your friend about it and browse travel options all at the same time each screen works perfectly on its own but the fold is more than two separate screens it's a unified device these displays work together to give you a singular seamless multi-screen experience and the key to making this possible is called app continuity and what that means is that you can switch between the screens without missing a beat so when you stumble across an interesting Facebook post on the front display you can simply unfold your phone to see all the details on the bigger screen it's amazing thank you the beauty of three app multitasking and app continuity is that they let you use the most important apps to you the way you want and that's because we worked with Google and the Android developer community to optimize apps like whatsapp and Microsoft Office for the Fuld's unique dual displays we also worked with YouTube to give galaxy users access to YouTube premium thank you now to ensure that all these apps run smoothly the Galaxy fold needs unprecedented unparalleled performance so that's what we gave it the fold has a state-of-the-art seven nanometer processor and 12 gigabytes of RAM making it one of the most powerful smartphones on the market there's more there's 512 gigs of onboard memory and for the first time on a mobile device support for universal flash storage 3l which means they know what it means this means you'll be able to read data twice as fast as most other smartphones making it incredibly responsive now you may be sitting there asking yourself how did we build a battery into a phone that folds right down the middle well the answer is we built two of them one on each side of the device our engineers have developed special technology to combine energy from both batteries into a single power source now that is a whole lot of power thank you the Galaxy fold is incredibly versatile it's a smartphone a tablet and a camera that fits in your pocket and the camera is just as flexible as the rest of the device in fact it's actually a system of six cameras three on the back two on the inside and one on the front the phone will always be ready to capture the moment no matter which way you hold it or you fold it now that's one thing to hear about all the folds incredible capabilities for me but it's another to see them for yourselves let's take a look hey Josh can you help me out hey Justin everybody this is Josh Kim please
