The Samsung Galaxy Fold is the first folding mobile of the South Korean company. It was announced together with the Samsung Galaxy S10, but the terminal with two screens has not yet gone on sale.

Enough time to see in detail the flexible mobile, its sound and how those screens work. It appears that the unit is a model of the AT&T company. Until about minute 1 we do not see the operation on video. The terminal is turned on, with the flexible display unfolded. You can see some of the most classic Samsung apps in a familiar interface: One UI. Then fold the device and handle the small screen on the front.
What the screen does is have a view of the interface, but smaller. We can open the camera app and navigate through the applications like any other mobile. It even plays YouTube, with a sound that cannot be fully appreciated.
A flexible panel with good colors
