Samsung's $2,000 folding phone might still be too delicate and break
It's tough to recommend buying the Galaxy Fold, even after Samsung made improvements to keep it from breaking. The Fold now comes with plenty of warnings telling you to treat the device gently. But luxury product or not, you should expect to be able to use a phone like a phone, and a lot of Samsung's warnings include things many people end up doing to their phones on a daily basis. In fact, one early reviewer's device has already been damaged.
CNBC has the updated Galaxy Fold too, and it comes with a lot of paperwork and on-screen warnings that Samsung hopes will will make it harder for consumers to accidentally damage the phone. And you should pay attention, since it still seems like it can be broken a little too easily.It says: "Avoid pressing hard on the screen. Tap lightly to keep it safe.
I like the new warnings telling people to be gentle, but I also feel like you should be comfortable using a $1,980 phone without fear that normal use is going to break it. If you have problems, Samsung has a new concierge service that can help you replace the screen once for $149. After that, the rest is on you. And you might have to wait a few days for the phone to be repaired if Samsung or one of its partners can't do it same day.
that costs almost $1,500 fully loaded and don't have to worry about pressing the screen too hard, dropping it in water or using it normally. It doesn't fold, so maybe it's not the future of phones, but that's a trade-off I'm willing to make for now.The Galaxy Fold is a nice phone. I get that you might want one to be the first with a folding screen. It's fun to have something that works like a regular device and then opens up to a 7-inch tablet.
