Samsung Unveils Galaxy Fold Smartphone At Nearly $2,000: Photos

Samsung is celebrating the 10th anniversary of their first smartphone, the Galaxy, this year. Also known as the Samsung i7500, the Galaxy quickly became a rivaling device among smartphones in the Android market way back in June of 2009.

To honor this landmark milestone, Samsung has announced four new smartphone models, including the Samsung Galaxy S10, the S10+ and the S10e, as well as a foldable device dubbed the Galaxy Fold. The S10e, touted as the affordable option of the line, can be picked up for a cool $750, with the S10 baseline model and S10+ priced at $900 and $1,000, respectively.

While these price points seem on par with other rival smartphone products currently sold in today's market, the new Galaxy Fold will set you back an astonishing $1,980 upon its release on April 26. The folding phone can work as a traditional smartphone with a 4.6 inch screen or transform more into a mini tablet with a 7.3 inch screen. When completely opened, the Galaxy Fold will be able to simultaneously run three different apps on the screen, while boasting six cameras: three in the back, two on the inside and one on the front.

Do you think the Galaxy Fold is the answer to reversing the smartphone sales slump seen in recent years?

Pre-orders for the three S10 models start Tuesday with their official release slated for March 8.
