Interests in Samsung Galaxy Fold continues to grow by the day as we await the sales of the foldable phone to commence. When Samsung announced the model last month, not all the details of the model was revealed. The phone is yet to be released but apparently, Samsung has sent out some units to reviewers who are under strict instructions not to show pictures or videos of the phone but are not barred from sharing details about the model. One of the early users has hosted a Q&A on Twitter where some of the nitty-gritty details of the device were revealed.
Since the Galaxy Fold uses a hinge design, there have been concerns about the sturdiness of the hinge. So, a respondent asked if the phone can bend in the opposite direction if that happens accidentally. It was revealed that the Fold has a sturdy hinge and can’t accidentally bend the wrong way which could damage the device. In case you are still wondering, the Fold still has a crease on the display when it is unfolded. The user says it is noticeable but played down any concerns of it being a bad thing. He noted that it is difficult to notice when the screen is on and the brightness is set above 70%. In addition, the screen can only be used when fully opened. The screen turns off if it is not fully opened. So, no chance you can use it as a laptop. The Q&A also revealed some few flaws in the interface which we expect to be fixed before the official roll out. You can read the entire Q&A from the source link below.

The Galaxy Fold was also confirmed to hit Europe with a Snapdragon 855 chipset onboard with performance comparable to the Galaxy S10+. This is in line with earlier rumours that the model hitting Europe and Asia won’t feature an Exynos chipset. The device packs a 4,380mAh battery which will likely have fast charging technology considering the battery has to power up two displays. On the software end, it runs Samsung’s One UI 1.2 based on Android 9 Pie.
