Hey fandroid .
Nobody mentioned iPhone or Apple here . But your low self esteem self had to drag iPhone into it because that’s the only way you would cum , and feel good .
You feel good now, don’t you?
Attention seeking mofo ! Everyone that condemned Samsung up there are android users . None of them mentioned anything like Apple or iPhone!
Well, for your information. Samsung is not the first to produce a foldable phone like you claimed. Stop misleading people , you clown!
Google is your friend .
Samsung ,my foot!
Comparing apple phones to Samsung Be like comparing Saraki to the Almighty Jagaban .
Don’t kill yourself . iPhones are the best anytime any day .
My last response to you .
You are pained...saraki to almighty jagaban??
Even iPhone can't stand Huawei and OnePlus these days. Stop being an isheep being misled everyday, besides some isheep have already woken up to reality.. the first foldable phone is royalepai but it was just a prototype that didn't see the light of the day. Samsung Galaxy fold is the first mass produced foldable phone available for people.. was iPhone the first to start notch displays?? No, the copied it from essential phones...so stop making baseless comparison. And least I forget, comparing Samsung to Apple Is like comparing heaven to earth ( Samsung supplies most iPhone components from displays to modems)

The irony Right? They keep saying apple users are show offs and all that but you will not see apple users dragging out Sammy or any android phone in apple related threads... It's always the opposite when it comes to android related threads..and yet apple users are the ones with a complex?

Not again!

Their brand name would suffer incalculable damage if this goes wrong after their "note 7" battery explosion saga of 2017.
It's not yet confirmed if it's because of the displays as only 4phones were defective of all the 200,000 units sold...News gathered that it's because of plastic film being produced to educate users not to remove the protective film

That phone is the most bone-headed idea ever from Samsung.

Like they said in Jurassic Park, "just because you could doesn't always mean you should"

I mean, a two thousand dollar phone that.....folds.

So?

The screen is plastic with a proclivity to scratch and stretch, the phone looks ungainly when closed, it doesn't do any one thing well between being a phone and a tablet...

This is an experiment passed as a consumer product on its way to infamy similar to the explosive Note 7.

Good riddance.


You are technologically out of this world, no foldable displays can be made without using plastic, Huawei mate x that folds outside also uses plastic...as far as technology is concerned, only plastic solution proved to be available for foldable displays...we might see a better alternative very soon but not this year...so stop blaming a tech innovative company. They are the only one that could come out and mass produced a foldable display for first generation phones, can the dubbed almighty apple do that??

iPhone 8 Plus , iPhone X , iPhone Xs , iPhone Xr , iphone Xs max . All of these phones have wireless charging .
But in your hating mind , Apple can not do wireless charging.
This Samsung that you want to kill yourself on top sef . You don’t have or use it .
Continue deceiving yourself.
Since when have Samsung be using wirelessly charging, since Samsung s6. What was apple doing then, they sat down and copied it, later releasing it 2years later

I don't see any reason as to why you should insult me my brother, you could still have made you comment without insults you know. That aside I like people like you...oya tell me in what way is IPhone better than Samsung..I was a great iPhone user until 2016 when I last used an iPhone 6..and switched to the droid and ever since I've experienced better services with the droid...talking about creativity you know deep down that Samsung and other android producers are way ahead of iPhone.. What new innovation has iPhone been able to come up with lately? Instead the keep releasing same phone over and over again. And I hope you know that airpower failed because they couldn't realize it
Report to the mods if i insulted you and stop foaming in the mouth.
All these people sef , once youre not on the same page with them, youre automatically insulting them.
I like people like you, you stylishly left the subject matter. you switched to droid!! grin . why not mention samsung.

Oga stop foaming in the mouth either and tell us what new tech can be found in IPhone tell me... Airpower failed hope you know. Mean while Samsung's devices are serves as a wireless charger. Let's appreciate the technological prowess of Samsung please. Just so you know I just don't use Samsung alone but I really appreciate the fact that they put alot of effort in coming up with new tech.

Lol...I bet they don't need to come up with the three camera setup, the two camera is already good enough, they don't need faster processor since they are not competitors.
I recently heard they filed a patent for foldable phones too, why go through all the hassle when they are not in competition with anybody

Thanks for this comment, just the same thing I was telling one isheeple up there how iPhone has so brainwashed them that they don't know other devices as leaving them and moving to the future. But new tech iPhone can't bring out but people would still want to compare Samsung to and iPhone.. Its just an insult to technology... Common air power the failed at it, but Samsung s10 devices are wireless chargers on their own

What is the need of the wireless charging. From my experience it is very slow compared to it plug and charge counterpart. Samsung good oo but iPhones are better. grin

Apple may have taken off their foot slightly from the innovation pedal but they're still a force to be reckoned with..the notch design which almost every phone manufacturer (except Samsung) has been using for a while now(even infinix and tecno phones) was pioneered by Apple..apple removed the headphone jack and they followed suit(again except Sammy lol)..believe it or not all phone manufacturers are eagerly waiting for apple's next phone come this September.
Apple started the notch Are you kidding me Have you ever heard of essential phone
They started the notch but it was a smaller notch, Apple got the idea and expanded their own notch!!

You're technologically twisted

What did the original iphone teach you?

1. Squeezing a version of OSX into a small portable device was a major technological feat. That single achievement drove Android back to the drawing board. That was something that killed giants: Nokia, Blackberry, Windows Mobile. Jobs even gloated his device was five years ahead of any phone which turned out true. He asked for the impossible and he got it.

2. The iPhone keyboard. It was a technical nightmare to get it right, and it took some time because no multitouch portable device existed back then. It took clever programming and AI to get it right. Blackberry, after laughing hard at glass keyboards, couldn't do it.

3. Jobs was unhappy with the plastic screen of the nearly-ready iPhone and demanded for a hardened glass screen for his phone, something unheard of. A lot of science was done to get Corning's abandoned technology to suit the phone, thus was born gorilla glass.

When the iphone was released, with its design and sensors and glass screen and OSX guts...it was a marvel, and was ready for prime time.

The lesson here, almost anything can be achieved if the right resources are used. As applies to the Fold, yes some sort of polymer is the most available technology can do, but the device was rushed to market to beat Huawei and claim some status if being the first to market.

And as for that market, where does it exist? The Fold is a niche device, especially at almost $2,000. Too many comprises were made (it doesn't fold flush as Huawei's does, it has a crease, it has a notch etc)

For a $2,000 you must get it right. And with their current failure rate it appears quality control was gone to the dogs.

No one asked for a folding phone, it does not solve any real-world consumer problem. As a phone, it's bulky and expensive with a tiny screen. As a tablet it has a creased plastic screen that can never compare to with glass displays. So where does it fit?

It's just a mad rush to be first, something Apple never does. Apple polishes the experience to a fine point and that's why their cult following, and profits, are better than anyone else's.

And your stupid claim that Apple can't make a folding phone is asinine. Even an unknown Chinese company, Royole, were first to demo a folding phone. You think Apple does not have the resources? They don't bother because they know folding phones are currently not a consumer product and with today's technology it's asking for a PR nightmare. When Apple couldn't get the Airpower to work because it gets too hot, they canned it rather than release a buggy device.

Typical thinking of a Nigerian man, that's why you have nothing to show for. Only 4 units were defective and besides the company put the launch on hold to print more plastic film so as to edúcate users not to remove the protective film

Hey donkey.

Four units out of 50 is equal to what percentage failure rate? About 9% if you can't work it out. That's a huge failure rate.

Only 50 units were sent out to the media for review. Because of this failure the launch of the phone has been postponed.

Idiots like you think typical of the African baboon. I'm sure you would happily buy the Note 7 and kill people when it blows up in airplanes.

Believe it or not tech consumers want foldable phones, they want something new, flexible and convenient...
Samsung was bold enough to give them what they wanted...
That phone was sold out on the very first day of pre order!!

Tesla model 3 was sold out on pre-order

Not all preorders translate to sales

And we do have early adopters who'd buy anything day one.

I'll love to see the study that days there's a consumer market as Samsung is releasing limited devices.

If there was a market i can bet you the craziest company with the crazy skunk works lab, Google, and the rest would've all jumped on that bandwagon.

The compromises required to get that phone to market is currently not worth the trouble. You'll see as soon as that device hits the market and the return rate spikes.

Am sure that if that project was handled by Chinese phonemakers like Huawei or Oppo it would have been successful gringringrin
