  Yes .. I want the blue with the gold hinge. It’s an awesome piece of technology. Time will tell how durable it will be as well as its performance!

How to watch these types of video of new products.
Step 1. Mute the video
Step 2. Read phone hardware specs from Brand website.
Step 3. Repeat for any other new tech to avoid psychological FOMO inducing, brainwashing propaganda.

Why do I get the feeling that this is not the final retail packaging and is most likely a press kit?

One of the worst unboxing. You unboxed the galaxy fold like u have no interest in it and did that just for the sake of making video and uploading into YouTube.

Tbh I don’t see a point of the box. Just extra production cost. The phone itself probably can be like $500 cheaper without the box

I have to dislike this. That woman is seriously making an amazing video of an amazing product look depressing. She should stick to reviewing lipgloss.

I call it shamesung or shitsung because reports are coming in that that $2000 piece of junk has screen and hinge issues. Hahshsh… Sorry for you poor suckers that always want the latest and greatest tech $2000 down the drain.

Samsung tried to snowball YouTube and flood it with Galaxy Fold hype but now a day later lots of phones are broken. Let’s see if any of the snowball streamers post a video on the screen issues.
