Samsung Galaxy G Fold: Leaks Reveal the Future of Foldable Phones
Watch this video on YouTube. Innovative Trifold Design with Enhanced Durability
The Galaxy G Fold introduces a trifold mechanism that sets it apart from existing foldable devices. Its innovative three-panel structure includes: A camera panel
A cover display
A blank panel
These panels fold inward, offering superior protection by shielding the displays when the device is closed. This inward-folding design addresses a common issue with outward-folding devices, such as those by Huawei, which leave screens vulnerable to scratches and damage. To further enhance durability, Samsung has incorporated a warning system that alerts users to incorrect folding, reducing the risk of accidental damage and making sure a longer lifespan for the device.
The trifold design not only enhances durability but also represents a significant engineering achievement. By combining functionality with robust construction, Samsung has created a device that balances innovation with practicality. Seamless Smartphone-to-Tablet Transformation
The Galaxy G Fold is designed to deliver a seamless transition between smartphone and tablet modes. When folded, it functions as a compact 6.5-inch smartphone, and when fully unfolded, it transforms into a 10-inch tablet. This dual functionality is aimed at providing users with the best of both worlds, catering to productivity and entertainment needs alike.
Unlike some foldable devices that offer partial folding or multitasking modes, the Galaxy G Fold operates exclusively in fully open or closed positions. This design choice prioritizes an uncompromised display experience, making sure optimal usability in both configurations. By avoiding awkward aspect ratios or limited functionality, Samsung has created a device that feels natural and intuitive in either mode. Innovative Display and Camera Technology
The Galaxy G Fold is equipped with advanced display and camera technologies that enhance its appeal as a premium device. The inner display features a punch-hole camera, similar to the Galaxy Z Fold 7, making sure a sleek and immersive viewing experience. On the rear, the device features a 200 MP main camera, supported by ultra-wide and 3x telephoto lenses. This versatile camera setup is designed to cater to photography enthusiasts, allowing users to capture high-quality images across a variety of scenarios.
Samsung's focus on display and camera innovation underscores its commitment to delivering a premium user experience. The combination of a high-resolution display and advanced camera capabilities positions the Galaxy G Fold as a standout device in the foldable market. Balancing Durability and Engineering Challenges
Durability is a central focus of the Galaxy G Fold's design. The inward-folding mechanism not only protects the displays but also contributes to the overall robustness of the device. However, this durability comes with certain trade-offs. The Galaxy G Fold is expected to weigh approximately 298 grams and measure around 12mm thick when folded, making it bulkier than many current foldable devices.
These dimensions reflect the engineering challenges associated with incorporating a trifold mechanism while maintaining structural integrity. Despite its bulkier build, the Galaxy G Fold's design prioritizes durability and functionality, making sure that it can withstand the demands of everyday use. Premium Pricing and Market Positioning
As a first-generation device, the Galaxy G Fold is positioned as a high-end product, with an estimated price exceeding $2,500. This premium pricing reflects the advanced technology and innovation integrated into the device. However, its high cost and niche appeal suggest that it will initially target limited markets, catering to early adopters and tech enthusiasts.
Samsung appears to be using the Galaxy G Fold as a flagship product to showcase the potential of trifold smartphones. By introducing this device, Samsung aims to gauge consumer interest in this emerging category while setting a new benchmark for foldable technology. Shaping the Future of Foldable Smartphones
The Galaxy G Fold represents a significant step forward in the evolution of foldable smartphones. By combining smartphone and tablet functionalities with enhanced durability, Samsung addresses key challenges that have hindered the adoption of foldable devices. The inward-folding design not only protects the displays but also ensures a seamless user experience, setting a new standard for the industry.
While its premium price and bulkier build may limit its appeal to a broader audience, the Galaxy G Fold highlights Samsung's leadership in innovation and its commitment to advancing the foldable market. As the industry continues to evolve, the Galaxy G Fold serves as a testament to Samsung's vision for the future of mobile technology. This device is poised to influence the direction of foldable smartphones, paving the way for further advancements in the years to come.

The worst thing about AI? That stupid Samsung ad where the guy adds ‘way too much sugar' to his pasta sauce
At a time of intense, bitter division, it's heartwarming when something brings us together. No, not 'briefly becoming experts in lawn tennis', or 'being too hot' – that stupid Samsung advert where the guy 'added way too much sugar to my gochujang pasta sauce' and asks his phone for help. If, by the greatest good fortune, you have managed to dodge it, Google Gemini (an AI 'assistant') suggests he makes 'tasty cookies' out of his sugary sauce. Instead of throwing his phone out of the window in holy rage, the youth seems inexplicably enthused ('Sweet!') and follows its frankly inadequate instructions – add butter, mix, bake for 10 minutes – before wandering off with a cookie, apparently happy with this bizarre outcome. It gives me a rage-powered eyelid twitch, so I was relieved to realise everyone off- and online feels the same ('Googled 'sauce advert stupid' and then made a Reddit profile just so I could find someone saying this and agree with them,' one commenter wrote). We differ only in what offends us most. Many are furious the 'advice' is so unfit for purpose, with comments such as 'It's SO ANNOYING – like what is he having for tea then????????' and 'For dinner I'm having plain spaghetti and flourless gochujang cookies', while anyone who has ever cooked anything is shouting: 'Just scoop the sugar out like a normal human!' People have noted other problems: adding butter to a bowl of sauce is not a cookie recipe, for starters. Some protested that pasta sauces typically contain onions and garlic; not ideal cookie flavours. Others pointed out the eggs, flour, cubed butter and vanilla extract handily out on the worktop – why? He's making pasta sauce! My husband is specifically offended because baking requires precision, and the hapless youth and his phone have no idea what 'way too much' is in grams. I've always avoided badmouthing AI – it seems like a simple commonsense survival tactic to keep the robots on side at this point. But when it starts disrespecting dinner and baked goods in this cavalier fashion, a line has been crossed. It's time to start a gochujang-flavoured fightback. Emma Beddington is a Guardian columnist

Silicon Valley v Soham Parekh, the man who had too many jobs
Silicon Valley has long been built on a complex lattice of productivity targets and ambitious hiring metrics, encouraging a generation of workers to embrace a so-called 'grindset' mentality. The hustlers' culture appears to have limits, however, as start-up founders lined up this weekend to call out an Indian software engineer for working with at least four tech companies at once. 'There's a guy named Soham Parekh (in India) who works at 3-4 start-ups at the same time … beware,' Suhail Doshi, the founder of the software company Playground AI, said on X. 'I fired this guy in his first week and told him to stop lying/scamming people. He hasn't stopped a year later. No more excuses.' The post was liked more than 250,000 times. • How I juggle three jobs at once: the rise of 'fractional workers' Founders of other Silicon Valley companies such as Dynamo AI, Synthesia, Alan AI and GitHub also accused Parekh of working multiple jobs. Haz Hubble said his social media company, Pally, offered him a package worth $250,000 a year, before withdrawing the offer when Parekh refused to relocate to San Francisco. Hubble told the US broadcaster CNBC: 'Now we know why!' Matthew Parkhurst, founder of the financial software start-up Antimetal, said on X that his company 'realised pretty quickly that [Parekh] was working at multiple companies and let him go'. Parekh, from Mumbai, has admitted the deceit, telling the technology programme TBPN: 'I'm not proud of what I've done and don't endorse it either.' He juggled roles by working for 12-14 hours every day. The motivation, he said, was that he needed money to clear debts. He did not say how these were incurred. 'No one really likes to work 140 hours a week, but I had to do this out of necessity. I was in extremely dire financial circumstances,' he said. His lifestyle turned him into a 'serial non-sleeper', he added. Parekh is by no means alone, with the rise in remote working since the Covid pandemic blamed for the surge in moonlighting. In India, the practice has increased by 25-30 per cent between 2020 and 2023, according to the recruitment agency Randstad India. It has prompted the use of software to verify applicants' backgrounds and flag any overlapping employment. • The rise of 'polygamous workers' — and efforts to catch them out The background verification firm AuthBridge said 5 per cent of candidates had two jobs, with roughly 90 per cent of cases occurring in the tech sector. In 2022, the IT company Wipro sacked 300 employees who were found to also be working for rival companies. 'This is cheating, plain and simple,' said Rishad Premji, its chairman. The practice is not limited to the private sector. Some teachers in state schools take a salary but rarely turn up as they are busy working in a private school or tutoring. Road sweepers have been known to delegate the job to someone else — usually a relative — while working for a higher salary somewhere else. • Civil servant 'held three full-time jobs simultaneously' Despite his dishonesty, Parekh said he 'cared deeply' about the companies he had inveigled and denied having a team of junior software developers to help him cope with the workload, saying he had no funds to hire anyone. Parekh's exposure has done his career no harm. He said he was working for a new company and wanted to focus on it exclusively, but admitted he had still not resolved his financial problems. He said he may yet approach his current employer to ask if he could take on another job — but vowed to take a more 'candid' approach.
