Samsung has already unveiled the Infinity Flex screen tech as well as the new One UI software features for foldable handsets. The main screen is a 7.3-inch Infinity Flex Dynamic AMOLED Display with a 4.2:3 aspect ratio and 362ppi. The external screen is smaller, at 4.6 inches, featuring a 21:9 aspect ratio and 399ppi.

The phone features six cameras, including single-, dual-, and triple-lens modules. The Cover camera that sits atop the external display is a 10-megapixel shooter with a f2.2 aperture. On the inside is a dual-lens selfie camera that features a 10-megapixel lens matching the Cover cam, and a secondary 8-megapixel RGB depth camera with a f1.9 aperture. The triple cam on the back of the phone has a 16-megapixel ultra-wide lens (f2.2), a 12-megapixel wide-angle lens (f1.5/f2.4, optical image stabilization), and a 12-megapixel telephoto camera (f.2.4, optical image stabilization).

A 7nm 64-bit octa-core powers the handset and the phone sports 12GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. The flash memory is UFS 3.0, which means it’s even faster than the Galaxy S10.

Other features include eSim support, fingerprint sensor on the side, 4,380 mAh battery, wireless charging, and PowerShare reverse wireless charging. There’s no headphone jack, but the phone ships with free Galaxy Buds, which come in the box.

On Friday, preorders for the $1,980 Galaxy Fold were made in the US, which sold out in one day.

After the US market, the Galaxy Fold will be released in 15 countries in Europe on May 3. The foldable smartphone will be introduced to the Korean market as a device powered by the fifth-generation network in mid-May.
