One smartphone that folds in two, another that delivers next-generation internet speeds, and three handsets with up to five cameras each and invisible fingerprint scanners were unveiled this morning, with promises they would “change the smartphone as we know it”.
The world’s biggest smartphone maker, Samsung, unveiled the devices in San Francisco, stealing the spotlight from the upcoming Mobile World Congress in Barcelona and taking over a venue best known for events from its biggest rival, Apple.
But analysts warned many of Samsung’s groundbreaking phones would also come with record-breaking prices when they arrived in Australia from March, and not all buyers would be willing to invest in flexible smartphones before they proved themselves
Samsung revealed its much anticipated Galaxy Fold at the Silicon Valley event, showing off a device with a 4.6-inch screen up front that opened up like a book to reveal a 7.3-inch, tablet-style, flexible display inside.
The fold-out phone will also feature six cameras — one on the front, two in the middle, and another three on the back — and will support using three apps at once, wirelessly charging other devices on its back cover, and will come with a special edition of Google’s Android software to support its two screens.
