Samsung Galaxy Fold in pictures: A sneak peek into the future 

Samsung says Galaxy Fold is “a meticulously crafted luxury smartphone that unveils a new era of smartphone design,” and one couldn’t agree more. Galaxy Fold offers a sneak peek into future of smartphones and even though it’s t really re yet – you can check out my hands on and first impressions of device here – it lays groundwork. For it to work upon. For ors to work upon. 

Samsung has launched Galaxy Fold in India at a price of Rs 1,64,999. Those looking to get Samsung Galaxy Fold in India can pre-order device from October 4 online on Samsung’s official online store, Samsung Shop, and offline in 35 cities across select 315 outlets, including Samsung Opera House in Bengaluru. Those who pre-order Galaxy Fold on Samsung India’s online store and Samsung Shop will be eligible to get ir device delivered to m through a concierge, Samsung has anunced. Shipping will commence from October 20.    

Galaxy Fold buyers will also be eligible for Galaxy Fold Premier Service, which will offer, in dition to 24x7 expert customer care, a one-year Infinity Flex Display Protection – this will include accidental dam cover with one-time protection, genuine parts, expert repair service and Galaxy Fold’s display, and discounted repair for Rs 10,500. 

Yes, price is on higher side, but so is kind of techlogy involved. Samsung Galaxy Fold belongs to first wave of foldable devices – it is first foldable to launch in India – and making a foldable device doesn’t come cheap. Possibly in days to come, with more vanced techlogy, brands like Samsung may be able to make se things more affordable – but that will happen when it will happen. same is true about Galaxy Fold’s longevity aspect. It has h a rocky start but, Samsung has been able to fix it in time for a consumer release – at least in India. 

If f you’re someone who’s willing to invest in Galaxy Fold, chances are you won’t even care about whole back story. You’ll be in it for experience. And that experience, will be magical.
