Samsung says that Galaxy Fold can outlast 200,000 folds and unfold, which adds up to around five years of use if the phone is used 100 times a day.

The Galaxy Fold is Samsung’s first phone with foldable phone. It comes with a cutomised user-interface to run three apps simultaneously on the main screen, total of six cameras, the company’s biggest ever display on a smartphone of 7.3-inches.

The hinge on Samsung Galaxy Fold is hidden for a seamless look when the tablet is folded into a phone. The company has used a new display on Galaxy Fold, which it says is around 50 per cent thinner than the standard smartphone display and allows the phone to fold seamlessly.

Samsung Galaxy Fold is yet to hit the markets, and it remains to be seen how the hinge design on Galaxy Fold will actually work. In the video, however, the implementation of hinge design looks pretty neat.
