The primary smartphone-sized display of these devices is perfect for one-handed usage while the tablet-sized display is perfect for media consumption, reading, and split-screen workflow.

Samsung Galaxy Fold is a flagship smartphone. This smartphone is powered by the Snapdragon 855 and it comes with 12GB of RAM. Consequently, you won’t face any performance-related issues.

Foldable smartphones are still a new technology. This new technology is still in its initial stages. Consequently, the first-generation foldable phones are not the perfect devices and if you are planning to become an early adopter of this modern technology it would be a wise decision to wait for the second-generation devices.

Another major reason why foldable phones won’t have many early adopters is the high price tag that these devices are sold at. That said, the technology might become mainstream in the upcoming years and the price tag could also come down.
