Samsung Galaxy Fold Impressions!

Samsung Galaxy Fold Impressions delivers a hands-on early look at Samsung's folding device, highlighting the physical heft and design language that come with a two- display form factor. The reviewer explains that when folded the device resembles two small phones joined by a hinge, creating a tall, narrow profile with a small outer screen and a large 7.3 inch inner OLED panel. He notes the noticeable crease on the inner display, describing it as visible but not distracting when viewed straight on, and he emphasizes the tactile satisfaction of the opening and closing motion, driven by strong magnets in the hinge. The video also covers practical aspects like the two-handed operation required to open and close the device, the button layout with an inadvertent bixby trigger, and the notch and lip on the inside screen that houses cameras and sensors. In terms of performance, the Fold is described as packing high-end specs such as Snapdragon 855, 12 GB of RAM, 512 GB of storage, stereo speakers, and a large 4,380 mAh battery. The reviewer demonstrates Samsung’s continuity feature, where apps can be started on the small outer screen and resume on the larger inner screen when unfolded, and he showcases multi-window multitasking that supports up to eight apps simultaneously, with adjustable window sizes. Overall impressions are positive with caveats: the outer screen is small and has a bezel, typing on that screen can be awkward, the price is very high, and some elements like the notch behavior and the slightly imperfect fold are noted as rough edges. The video concludes with anticipation for a full review and future coverage, inviting viewers to share what they want to see next and teasing a limited merch drop tied to the launch window.
