The Samsung Galaxy Fold is no longer just a concept phone nor a prototype device. A real, working foldable phone from the South Korean tech giant was unboxed earlier this week. We’ve got a glimpse of Unbox Therapy’s feature where he also showed off the Galaxy Fold in different colors. Our early impressions are great but we’re looking forward to a more comprehensive teardown and analysis. Perhaps a teardown will be so heartbreaking but that’s how it is in gadget town.
One of our favorite tipsters, Ice universe (@UniverseIce), shared the detail that the Galaxy Fold is the first smartphone to take advantage of the UFS 3.0 standard flash memory. It’s ultra-fast as shown off by the source using the Androbench 5.0.1. It’s the same app used to check the speed of the Huawei 10 and 10 Plus from a couple of years ago.
