Samsung has unveiled a foldable Smartphone - The Galaxy wrinkles - in addition to a 5G Galaxy S10 handset and Three other Galaxy S10 phone.

will go to The folds in the sale in little More Than two months earlier than expected by many.

The Galaxy S10 5G, the company offers the largest ever in a non-flip-up display and promises faster data speeds when networks are available.

The S10 line-up also includes the introduction of a lower-cost model.

Samsung had previously "lower-than-expected sales".

Open up the screen Samsung said The Galaxy -the tray would open, create a 7. 3in (18. 5cm) tablet-Like display, and would be able to run up to Three apps at once.

< p > the demo showed off "in - app continuity" features that The Device transferred from one mode to The Other much smoother than before.

The Galaxy fold Three -app multitasking-An example involved is shown a Google Maps screen, on the folds of the smaller front display And Then expanded to a larger view when The Phone is opened, after a second pause.

Samsung added that Whatsapp, Facebook, YouTube, and Microsoft Office would also be optimized for the new form-factor.

He said he had folded a new type of hidden hinge system that would withstand hundreds of thousands and developed, and contained a battery on each side to extend your runtime.

In addition, The South Korean company said The Phone contained six cameras - Three on the back, two on The Inside And One on The Front to ensure that it was able to take photos But it is on hold.

is set to fold A 4G version of The Galaxy to go on sale on April 26 and start at $1,980 (£1,515). A more expensive 5G edition was also promised.

Samsung described it as a "luxury" item.

"fold, is an experience that gives people who want a mobile phone, But also a larger screen without compromising on the telephone-experience," commented Carolina Milanesi from the consulting firm Creative Strategies.

"There are a lot of tech Packed in it. And it makes sense, it has under $2,000-even If Only for the psychological effect. "

The Phone comes in four colors, But another market watcher still had doubts.

"In theory, foldables are extremely attractive: they pack a huge screen in a small design," comments Neil Mawston from research firm Strategy Analytics.

"But , in reality, are not consumers are not aware of exactly how they work, and the applications are still pretty immature.

"you look back at the history of the dual-screen folder phones, ZTE, and NEC, and other free. They have not sold particularly well, mostly because of The Price and the lack of dissemination.

"So, there's good potential, But still a lot of uncertainty. "

analysis: Dave Lee , North America , technology, the reporter for the brief demonstration we saw, the Samsung application to watch, entertainment, games and app multi-tasking to make a lot of sense for a lot of people. This is a tremendously creative engineering. Screens seem Like a good idea.

What does not work, however, is The Price . I have been to many launch events Like this, and in General, the worst-case scenario for the company to put on the card, is a lack of applause when the award is announced. Today, we saw something even worse, hums loudly, even a little laugh. $1,980? Just too much.

I Also wonder about some Other Aspects of The Phone , we can't judge, since we still had a chance to hold it. If Samsung's head of mobile, put it in his suit pocket to the stage, he landed with all The Grace of a cartoon anvil.

So: it may be hard, with two likely-hot batteries and a great price tag.

Creative, sure? Practical? For me, Samsung has below - But the effort to inspire should gadget fans who have been longing for something else for so long. I suspect that this device, people flock to the stores to close, to see, to buy if to actually.

Galaxy S seriesThe S10 series Samsung is likely to remain the focus, when It Comes to sales for the foreseeable future.

The S10 and S10+ will cost More Than the phones they replace - start at £799 and € 899 respectively if they go on sale at 8. March.

to match But the S10e means The Galaxy S-series now starts at a lower price-point - £669 - albeit with lower specifications.

The S10 5G is not yet fixed, and only a vague "summer" release planned.

The S10-family is available in four different sizes, each with a selection of different storage "With a 5G version is strategically important for Samsung, as it gives you The Jump on Apple and helps maintain the company's brand strength and perceived technology leadership," commented Ben Wood from the CCS Insight consultancy.

"It is also the operator of a tier-one brand that starts for your 5G.

", However, are affected to the extent that consumer, unless you have a very good reason to buy a 5G phone this summer, one of the Three other S10 mobile parts is probably a better investment, And One that is viable for many years. "

The Launch comes days before the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona is a trade fair, where Samsung the rivals unveil new phones of their own.

The entire Smartphone market contracted in the year 2018, But Samsung's sales saw a particularly pronounced drop-off, such as Huawei and other Chinese manufacturers courted customers.

Cut-out camerasAll four versions of the S10 are different from last year's models through the integration of The Front cameras in their displays.

The Phone selfie-camera is surrounded by its screen, Samsung referred to this as the Infinity-O design, But it is more commonly referred to as a "hole punch".

you can move the phones have a thinner top bezel, without the shape of the "notch" found on many competitors.

It has introduced, however, caused the ditch to the fixed to The Eye -the iris-scanner, the one in the S8.

Samsung says a new ultrasonic-fingerprint-sensor under the umbrellas of the Three High-end mobile phones provides near the same level of security and is more convenient to use than a scanner previously placed on The Phone back.

A graphic icon, the user is told to press a fingerprint-It is based on

All versions of the handset feature wireless charging, and use the option to wirelessly charge compatible devices in turn.

here, the function is reflected first offered.

Samsung presented to start the system on a dual-London and San Francisco , as a way to recharge and a new pair of Bluetooth headphones, without the detour via a separate cable or power Mat .

The Phone can be used to send, makes The Galaxy Buds charging case Smarter photographyAll four devices now have a 10-megapixel-selfie-camera, and the introduction of a 16MP ultra-wide rear version offers a slightly larger field-of-view, as our eyes.

S10+ has also help a second selfie camera is to take depth readings.

Other improvements include:

In addition, the S10+ and S10 5G now offer up to one terabyte of internal storage, which the company says could appeal to those shooting a lot of 4K Videos or the storage of many of the game files.

The S10-phones can tell you if you photos of a Shoe and adjusts The Image accordingly, " What's positive is that Samsung has moved, away From Software that nobody wants - such as AR emojis and Samsung Cloud and has to provide the way back to his roots market-leading hardware," said Ben Stanton , the market analysis company Canalys.

"So, for the premium end of the market, which are good phones.

"But my concern is that [they prevent] not innovative enough, in order that the people looking down, to the lower-price bands, and drawn, in the mid-range products from Chinese companies, that super-competitive. "

High-and low-endThe introduction of a lower rate class can help address this.

But trade-offs for picking the S10e include:

in contrast, the S10 5G benefited from a number of exclusive features:

The S10 5G has Three cameras and a 3D depth sensor, The Phone had on the back "to be larger, have a larger battery, because 5G [data Transfer] it runs a lot faster," said Mr Stanton.

"But it was also smart to provide a large screen.

"The use cases for 5G are yet to be defined, But the potential is, that to stream 4K video instead of HD. And with a larger screen, more power, absolutely. "

Galaxy S (2010):

The original S-series handset released days before the Apple iPhone 4 was, and had a larger 4in screen, and a microSD card slot in its favor.

At this point, its most important Android rival, the HTC Desire, and although Samsung, The Device is lighter, thinner and had a more powerful graphics processor, some reviewers " in The Hand than its competitor.

The second-generation device, the display of up to 4. 3in his rear camera to increase the resolution to 8MP, and the processor switching to a dual-core design.
