Yes, you’ve read that right. Consumers here in the Philippines will finally be able to experience Samsung’s re-designed Galaxy Fold. Details aren’t here yet, but one thing is for sure, it’s coming.
As you all remember, the Galaxy Fold went through some hurdles after a couple of durability issues surfaced, so the Company decided to take if off the market temporarily to make the necessary changes to the design. On its relaunch, the device finally received quite the positive reaction it hoped for, and was sold out in various countries.
Galaxy Fold offers a multitude of user experiences. View the essentials on its 4.6″ Super AMOLED cover display, and when opened, enjoy next-level multi-tasking, watching videos, playing games, and more, all on its 7.3″ Infinity Flex Display.
It also transforms the way you capture, share, and edit mobile content. With App Continuity, you can shoot a video when its closed, and then simply open it to watch what you’ve captured on a larger screen. Multi-Active Window on the other hand, allows you to run multiple apps at the same time and seamlessly multitask.
The 5G variant of the Galaxy Fold can take advantage of next-gen connectivity for downloading high resolution videos and music, as well has for better network performance in graphics-intensive applications.
The device even comes with access to specialized customer care services which include 1 on 1 access to Samsung Experts, and a 24/7 support hub online or over the phone.
