Samsung Galaxy Fold 5G deals and reviews

Mr Phone | Ershad Kaleebullah

If you are lusting after this futuristic smartphone, pull that damn trigger already.

The Galaxy Fold isn't for everyone, but for me, it's completely changed my life. It's the first phone in years that can replace multiple devices, and it's by far the best tool for multitasking on the go.

The Indian Express | Nandagopal Rajan

While all the attention unfolds around the fold of the Samsung Galaxy Fold, we seem to overlook the fact that this is a pretty solid smartphone by every count ... Also, this is a phone that will make your work life easier, I wouldn't say that about your other life because taking selfies for one, is not that easy here. Buy this phone if you want to show the world you have arrived.

Ubergizmo | Hubert Nguyen

This is an entirely new phone experience, and if you often use your phone with two hands, you should be completely at ease. I don't expect people who primarily want a one-hand experience to like this device.

Australian PC World | Fergus Halliday

The Fold is innately compelling, truly innovative and impossibly expensive.

The Mobile Indian | Sandeep Budki

It has unfolded a new segment and going forward we might see consumers accepting it with open arms post the price correction because right now it is out of range for many consumers.

NotebookCheck | Daniel Schmidt

Overall, the Galaxy Fold is a great and well-connected smartphone. So, if you have enough money to spare and you baby your smartphones, then the Samsung Galaxy Fold may be worth considering.

ZDNet | Matthew Miller

The Galaxy Fold offers a glimpse of the future and will likely only be purchased by those of us who have a smartphone addiction and want to test out the latest and greatest.

Android Authority | Eric Zeman

I like the Samsung Galaxy Fold and the inflection point at which it stands. Now that slim slabs are a dime a dozen, the industry needs something new on which to fixate. Folding phones appear to be what's on deck. While the Fold isn't perfect for me - or most people - it's a step toward the future. We'll have to wait to see where its path ends.

The Economic Times | Debashis Sarkar

Go for it if you want a totally head-turner of a device. Or else, there's always the more practical Samsung Galaxy Note 10.

Pocket-lint | Chris Hall

Yes, some parts of the Fold aren't market leading, but this feels like the starting point for the next-gen of mobile devices. While other phone manufacturers squabble over incremental changes, Samsung has gone out and done something radical - and we love that.

AndroidPit | Pierre Vitré

As things stand at the moment, I will obviously not recommend the purchase of this smartphone. The Galaxy Fold is aimed at a niche audience that is keenly aware of the latest high-tech innovations but also of the fragility of this new form factor.

Forbes | Ben Sin

Of course, the working-class, average consumer shouldn't invest in the Fold today, mostly because the phone's durability is still up for question. But for gadget enthusiasts? It's a no-brainer–and always has been.

Pickr | Leigh Stark

We actually like the Galaxy Fold more than we expected, and while it is indeed a weighty smartphone, there's still something rather lovely about it. The feel, the shape, and the creative use of its screen make the Samsung Galaxy Fold one of the most exciting phones to date.

CNET | Jessica Dolcourt

I don't recommend the Galaxy Fold specifically, even if you have cash to spare. More foldable phones are coming, from Samsung, Huawei and even Microsoft. Do yourself a favor and wait.

Engadget | Chris Velazco

The Galaxy Fold offers a glimpse at the future of smartphones and gives Samsung a potent foundation to build on, but almost no one should consider buying one right now.

Digital Trends | Julian Chokkattu

The Samsung Galaxy Fold is a strong first step for foldable phones, provided the final product is free from display issues. We're finally seeing some change to the drab design and iterative upgrades to smartphones, but the...price still puts the tech out of reach for most people.

Mashable India | Prasham Parikh

For a first-generation device, the Galaxy Fold gets a lot of things right. It has single-handedly convinced me that foldable phones are not a gimmick, and can actually go on to be mainstream in the future.

Gizmodo UK | Sam Rutherford

The Galaxy Fold is undoubtedly an impressive piece of tech, but it hasn't been perfected, and to expect immaculate performance out the gate is a bit unrealistic. If the Galaxy Fold doesn't interest you, there's absolutely nothing wrong with that. Don't buy one...Despite its flaws, the Galaxy Fold remains an incredibly engaging device.

Tom's Guide | Mark Spoonauer

The Galaxy Fold is an amazing example of what foldable phones can do, but questions about its durability make it a tough sell even for early adopters.

Stuff | Henry Burrell

The future arrived too early for the Galaxy Fold - astonishing, but also too expensive and too fragile to recommend.

Trusted Reviews | Max Parker

As much as the Galaxy Fold is a look at what the next wave of smartphones might be, at this stage it's hard to recommend that anyone, aside from those who simply must have the first-gen of everything.

PC Mag | Steven Winkelman

Samsung gets points for innovation with its Galaxy Fold. You can use this pricey device as a phone or a tablet, but it doesn't quite satisfy in either regard.

Mashable | Raymond Wong

Samsung's Galaxy's Fold is an ambitious push into new mobile territory, but it's still very much a dressed-up prototype.

The Verge | Dieter Bohn

The Galaxy Fold forces you to make too many compromises. You have to compromise on durability, on having a phone you can fit in your pocket, and, most of all, on price. All of those compromises exist solely to get you the flexible screen, which is itself compromised because it still has that crease down the middle.

Wired UK | Sophie Charara

This is a bold product. And I'm firmly on the side that says this form factor as a whole is not a gimmick. This is a more pocketable alternative to an iPad Mini.

Wired | Lauren Goode

Too thick in its folded form. The UI and keyboard are too small when it's closed, too wide when it's open. Making phone calls on it is awkward.

The Verge | Dieter Bohn

I have never used a device with this many problems that I have liked this much.
