Overview
Daniel unboxes, sets up, and reviews a 5G Samsung Galaxy Fold with 512GB of storage and 12GB of RAM after nearly a week of use, evaluating its dual displays, camera handling, laptop mode typing, and multitasking capabilities.
Daniel assesses the device as both a phone and a tablet, comparing its size, screen area, and utility to an iPad Pro to determine whether the roughly £1,900 to £2,000 price tag is justified.
