Samsung Unpacked 2019 Delivers Foldable Phone and S10 Lineup
Samsung unveils the $1,980 Galaxy Fold alongside its new Galaxy S10 family, a budget S10e, and a 5G-capable model at a lackluster San Francisco event.
Samsung hosts a lackluster 90-minute Unpacked event in San Francisco to unveil its latest mobile devices. The highlight of the presentation is the Galaxy Fold, a $1,980 device that functions as a 4.6-inch phone before unfolding into a 7.3-inch tablet. The company also introduces updates to its Galaxy S line, new wireless earbuds, and a fitness tracker.
The standard Galaxy S10 features a triple-camera setup on the back, while a more affordable S10e model offers similar specs for $750. For users seeking future-proof connectivity, Samsung reveals a 5G-capable version of the S10 that includes a significantly larger battery.
Despite the impressive hardware specs, the overall presentation feels drawn out and underwhelming to attendees. Fans of the previously announced Galaxy Home smart speaker leave disappointed, as Samsung delays any updates on that device until at least April.
