Trying the Galaxy Fold Before it was Delayed #Helpful Post

so the Galaxy fold is officially delayed

but before Samsung pulled it I got a

chance to check one out now if you've

been following the galaxy full of Fiasco

it's been a little bit of a roller

coaster first year to review units go

out things were magic and rainbows and

unicorns and puppies and oh my god this

thing was the amazing feature that we

never knew we needed and then things

took an ugly turn got real dark real

quick and devices were just breaking and

busting left and right on one hand you

had an incident where the galaxy fold

has this very thin protective almost

screen protector to like layer on it

that you weren't supposed to remove and

honestly after messing with galaxy fold

I wouldn't say my first reaction would

be to pull this off but if you get any

dust or if you look at this thing in

bright direct sunlight I can see where

it would look like a screen protector

with that you then had a group of people

who are dramatically jumping to defend

the galaxy full of screaming user air

that's your fault dump as you brick your

device you can eat your 2000 dollars and

like it but really though if something

that fragile can potentially brick a two

thousand dollar device you might need to

rethink things now on the flip side of

things there were a couple cases where

that protective layer wasn't removed and

the galaxy fold still ended up like

lingual he then of course had that

dramatic group defending that same what

are you freaking out about it's only

four devices but you got to think about

it there was like a total of 12 out

there so if your dentist was like yo

don't worry about it

only four out of my 12 root canals go

bad you would be a little worried so

regardless it's nice to see Samsung take

a step back and hopefully fix this

because regardless of whether you

weren't supposed to take that screen

protector off again the fact that

something so small and simple could

potentially destroy device could have

been disastrous it just got into

consumers hands so problems and delays

aside actually getting to use the Galaxy

fold I could see where there's a huge

potential future with this because

honestly Samsung is kind of looking at

this as a phone first that then turns

into a tablet but I kind of feel like

it's the other way around or it's

a blip that then folds it can fit in

your pocket that can also act as a phone

seriously the biggest benefit of this is

having this much screen real estate that

you can then fit in your pocket like

imagine doing that with an iPad Mini it

would not work out so well

 

the main reason why I feel like it's not

a phone first is that front screen when

it's folded up leaves a lot to be

desired on one hand there is some

positive where I get this one-handed

old-school smaller smartphone vibe

whether it's the Galaxy s4 or the Nexus

4 so I can kind of see that merit and

honestly imagine if you had like the

iPhone se form-factor something that

flipped open transformed and then gave

you tablet like size that would be

amazing and this is until you realize

how much screen real estate is left at

the top and the bottom and that feels

like they're definitely wasting some of

that again I get it it's a genuine

product and the fact that we have

self-driving cars and a tablet you can

bend and flip and fold and put it in

your pocket is amazing so if they can

take better advantage of that screen

real estate it's going to be incredible

as far as the crease goes not gonna lie

and say it's some magic wizard source

free tour you just don't see it it's

invisible oh my god it's amazing it is

definitely there you notice it but it

doesn't bother me at all I also love the

fact that you're getting all the major

features from something like the galaxy

s 10 wireless power share USB see

although they did remove the headphone

jack you have a giant battery pack to

decide well over 4000 milliamp hours and

really great cameras I will ask the

question though is this too far or what

is the line for where it's acceptable to

take pictures with this especially in

tablet mode like is that gonna make

taking pictures with iPads ok I don't

know yet but either way how many of you

find it that big that nice is awesome

one really clever design that I

appreciate it with the galaxy fold is

that it doesn't matter whether you're

folded up or in full on tablet mode

you're going to get stereo audio which

is a really nice touch reading and

watching videos is hands-down the most

enjoyable thing with the galaxy fold and

again the fact that you can fold this up

and fit it in your pants that makes it

feel like it's straight out the future

like imagine trying to fit an iPad Mini

in your gym shorts that's not gonna work

with this you just fold it up pack it in

there whip it out that's getting weird

get in the treadmill bust out a solid 60

and have a beautiful viewing experience

sign me up for that please maps also

look amazing and the fact that you have

that kind of screen real estate

multitasking is also a beautiful

beautiful thing the one thing that I

will say might come in a question with

this is longevity like how will it last

and perform over time assuming Samsung

fixes these initial problems like how's

this gonna hold up after like six months

so I'm curious to see one if Samsung can

fix this issue then also they can get it

back out the gate how this thing will

hold up over time now I've only spent

about a day with the Galaxy phone I was

curious to hear thoughts and someone who

spent a week with it the one the only

Jon Rhett injure I dig the fold I've

been using it for a week I think it

gives you multiple form factors in one

device the fold itself is inherently

flawed what it represents as the future

of mobile changing shapes I'm totally

for if Samsung would have just called

this phone like the galaxy full

developers edition they would avoided

I think 100% of the drama that came

along with this people would have known

that it's not for everybody it's a beta

device that you can buy and try make it

actual product and then it's super

expensive products and then have it

break and peel was a bad PR movie so

there you go thoughts from - John it's a

lot of respect make sure you guys drop a

like for the goat the old-school John

for Lakers I'll drop a link to his

coverage down below thank you guys so

much for watching

this is Jonathan and I will catch you
