A Tablet. Folded into One.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"video_box\">\n<div class=\"textbox_1200\">\n<p class=\"text is-motion font-weight-700\">Galaxy Fold is in a category of its own. It delivers a new kind of mobile experience allowing users to do things they couldn\u2019t do with an ordinary smartphone. Users now have the best of both worlds; a compact device that unfolds to reveal Samsung\u2019s largest-ever smartphone display. Galaxy Fold brings together material, engineering and display innovations, developed over eight years following the debut of Samsung\u2019s first flexible display prototype in 2011.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul class=\"contents\">\n<li class=\"item2 clearfix\">\n<div class=\"image is-motion\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/dmpvqjq8iakbu.cloudfront.net\/unpacks\/winner\/images\/site_download_button_feature2.png\" alt=\"\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"desc_wrap is-motion\">\n<div class=\"desc\">\n<p class=\"sub_title line-height-1\">New Display Materials<\/p>\n<p class=\"text\">The internal screen does not merely bend. It folds. Folding is a more intuitive motion, and a more difficult innovation to deliver. Samsung invented a new polymer layer and created a display around 50 percent thinner than the typical smartphone display. The new material makes Galaxy Fold flexible and tough, built to last.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"desc left\">\n<p class=\"sub_title line-height-1\">New Hinging Mechanism<\/p>\n<p class=\"text\">Galaxy Fold opens smoothly and naturally, like a book, and closes flat and compact with a satisfying click. To achieve this, Samsung engineered a sophisticated hinge with multiple interlocking gears. This system is housed in a hidden enclosure for a seamless and elegant look.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"desc left\">\n<p class=\"sub_title line-height-1\">New Design Elements<\/p>\n<p class=\"text\">From the screen to the housing, to every element you can see and touch \u2013 Samsung left no stone unturned. The fingerprint scanner is found on the side where the thumb naturally rests, so the device unlocks easily. Two batteries and the components are evenly distributed so Galaxy Fold feels balanced in your hands. Colors with unique finishing\u2014Space Silver, Cosmos Black, Martian Green and Astro Blue<sup>1<\/sup> \u2014and the engraved hinge with Samsung logo complete its elegant fit and finish.<\/p>\n<p class=\"guide\"><sup>1<\/sup>Model and color availability may vary depending on country or carrier.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"ux\" class=\"section ux lnb_box lnb_position\">\n<div class=\"inner\">\n<div class=\"main_textbox\">\n<h2 class=\"main_title1 is-motion\">A Whole New Experience<\/h2>\n<p class=\"text is-motion font-weight-700\">Galaxy Fold was designed with smartphone users in mind \u2013 driven by bigger and better form factors that boost their experiences.
