The foldable phone is the hot new trend in smartphone technology.

Now, Samsung has gotten into the game.

Here is their new foldable phone.

This comes almost 8 years after Samsung revealed their prototype.

Features

The phone, which will be released in North America on April 26, has been kept well under wraps, compared to the other three flagship phones.

Here are the specs for the foldable phone.

There will be six camera lenses in total as well as six lenses—three in the back, two on the inside and one on the cover.

The Galaxy Fold basically changes from a 4.6-inch cover display to a 7.3-inch tablet using the new hingeing mechanism, which has multiple interlocking gears.

Here are some gifs of the folding in action.

Here is a nifty little video showcasing how it works.

The Galaxy Fold will retail for US$1,980 (S$2,676) in America, though availability and pricing are not available for Singapore at the moment.
