Introduction
Mystery, promises, waves upon waves of hype, a couple of releases, revisions, disappointment and success, the Samsung Galaxy Fold is a story which pretty much reads like a novel at this point. And after all that, this unique roller coaster ride is still going on full steam. Only now, Samsung is letting people ride. For an arm and a leg, as the saying goes, but even so, if you are persistent and affluent enough, you can get your very own to have and use.
But just because you can, should you board the still very-much experimental foldable panel train and Samsung’s initial prototype in particular? To find out, we acquired a shiny new Galaxy Fold and geared it up for actual, real-world use as the daily driver for one of the reviewers here at GSMArena – Victor!
A long time Galaxy Note fan, Victor is very passionate about hardware and has always had a “more is better” mentality towards features. Failed by the recent shift in attitude in the Galaxy Note line where modern design and current trends take precedence over a ton of features and prosumer creature comforts.
This long-term review will thus be his account of what it is to live with the Galaxy Fold daily. As such, it will be just a bit more different and personal, for lack of a better term, than our usual in-depth review process. Which, by the way, the Fold has already gone through, in case you want to give that a read. All the points made in there still stand, but don’t necessarily offer the full picture. The experience after all the fanfare. If you are interested in that, do read on.
Since this whole endeavor will take some time, we wanted to think of a way to keep at least the most interested among you in the loop, so to say. Hence, while the prolonged real-life testing is still going on, Victor will share his impressions as they come about in a sort of blog or diary fashion. And if you’re not into that sort of thing, you can look forward to a better-structured retelling of all his findings and opinions at the end.
Flip on over to the following page for Victor’s first impressions and check back for the latest updates.
