The Samsung Galaxy Fold has a lot to love... and a lot to hate
For US$2,000, a phone should be close to perfect, but the Galaxy Fold has too many flaws
While I still think the form factor looks incredibly cool, there are some drawbacks that really got on my nerves once I started using it every day. So here are three things I like about the Galaxy Fold and three things I don’t.
DISLIKE: FOLDING
Yes, the coolest thing about the Galaxy Fold is also one of the most annoying. When you really need to get something done, the front screen is too small to be useful. That means you’re unfolding the phone every time you need the larger screen. Then you have to fold it back up to put it away in your pocket.
This constant folding and unfolding changed the way I used a smartphone. I could no longer just pick it up and use it right away. Thankfully, it’s easy to fold the phone with one hand, and it satisfyingly snaps shut with the help of magnets.
