Customers love the Galaxy Fold's large, crisp screen and excellent camera quality, praising its ability to capture breathtaking photos and videos. The long battery life and ample storage are also frequently cited as positive aspects. However, some concerns exist regarding the phone's durability and weight.
To give you a little history on me, I have been a Samsung user from my first smart phone, the Samsung S3, which I quickly upgraded to the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 that fall. From that day I have upgraded every year to the new Note series phone, up to the current Note 10 Plus which I now own. New tech is my downfall, I’m the gotta have type guy. I have been watching the Galaxy Fold come to life for what seemed like years to actually launching. Maybe a rough start, but it was all for the better of the product. So even after saying I would wait for the next generation, I could not resist and purchased the new Fold a few days ago and I have to tell you I’m blown away. This phone is the most awesome new tech on the market today and is a game changer for the cell phone industry. The build is solid and feels top quality and beautiful design. The inner screen although plastic, feels like glass when using and works perfectly. The crease down the middle is only noticeable when looking at an angle and I do not notice it while using the phone. Screen is big and work well, watching Youtube to Netflix and beyond is incredible. Opening pdf’s and work files is awesome. Camera is fantastic and I believe to be the same as the Note 10 plus with all the features. Plenty of storage at 512GB and with 12 GB ram the phone runs fast and smooth even with multiple apps running. Multitasking is a pleasure, read the news while playing a video and texting all at the same time on one screen. Finger print sensor is on the side of the case so it can be used in both closed and open mode and works very well. Samsung pay only works from the small screen which I hope there is an update for. I would like to see that feature from the big screen also. ( so far the only downfall, but not a deal breaker). One Note, this is not a phone to give to a child to play with, this phone is for responsible adults that can take of their tech. It is a plastic inner screen and can be damaged pretty easily, poking with a pen, sharp fingernails, coins or metal objects would be an absolute no-no and would definitely damage the screen. Right now Samsung is offering Premier service with the purchase of the phone which I believe is a one up for Samsung. They are also offering to replace the screen (one time) within the first year if damaged for $149, which is also a plus. I think Samsung realizes this is new to the market and users are going to have to get familiar with this new tech and stepped up to help us out with premium service. I highly recommend this phone, remember when you purchase new technology you adding to the popularity and will insure that the manufacturer will continue to improve on future generations and YOUR involvement and input will help with that development. I’m a Best Buy consumer and not a Samsung employee.

"Expert" Reviewers lost a lot of respect from me after today. It's the exact opposite of everything they said I should expect. Feels ultra premium. Front screen is perfect for quick tasks and dare I even say more efficient for such tasks. Can't notice the crease in usage. Etc. Even friends are saying the same after actually using it. This thing takes breathtaking photos and has awesome low-light capabilities.

This phone is amazing. Traded in my Note 10+ and I have zero regrets. Fast, incredible battery life, comes with galaxy buds, draws attention anytime you use it in public. Yes you can see a crease but when looking at the display straight on it's not visible. Wouldn't have bought it without the GSP. $249 to replace a phone like this is a great deal if anything does happen to it.
