UPSOUND (English): "You can check out their location, see if it's a place you want to go. If you then shut the device - if you're walking, you probably want to have it held shut. So, you can hit that, click on directions and then start. And then it'll just take you through the destination straight away."

"It's the Galaxy Fold. We've been working on it for some time now. So, we introduced our first foldable screen innovation back in 2011 at CES. And then since then, we've been working on how we take that device and bring it into a true product. And what we've done is we've designed a beautiful product that is designed primarily to use in open mode, but it fits perfectly in your hand for single-handed grip. And then you can see, when you open the device there, it's got this fully immersive, beautiful screen on the inside."

"As people consuming more and more data and enjoying more and more entertainment, they have this desire for a large screen. But if you have to keep having the large screen on a single front device, that's going to get really big and it's not going to fit in your pocket. So we had to solve that problem of providing a large screen, but also having something that fits in the pocket, which is why now is the perfect time for the foldable technology to come in because it does give you that ability to have something that's handy and pocketable, but allows you to then enjoy incredible multimedia content by using this beautiful large display here."

"With any technology, we'll be working on ways to say; 'Okay, how can we continue to improve our processes and get our cost structure down.' Because we know not every consumer can afford close to $2,000, that's very clear. And it's in our interests to also continue to build that down. So over the years, it's clear that it will come down in cost. Right now, I think the value for money with everything you're getting on this device, there's nothing else in the market like it. And we can't wait for people to experience it for themselves."

"We have competition from everywhere. I mean, I think what we've done at Samsung is we always do is push the boundaries with foldable technology. And anytime our competitors see us doing something innovative, they obviously want to follow as well. So, it's perfectly natural. But we definitely feel like this is the by far the best device out there. So, if somebody wants to engage with a foldable device for the first time, they want the most premium finish, the best experience, then this is the one for them."

"The smartphone hasn't changed in a very long time. If you think about what they look like, they have looked like sleek, black, rectangles of glass for many, many years now. And so, as we hit peak smartphone and people sort of stop renewing their devices quite so frequently, smartphone makers are finding that their profits are falling. Samsung, especially, reported that its profits and sales were down. So, they're having to come up with new ways to entice people to upgrade a bit more frequently."

"The advantages should be that it becomes a phone shape and size when folded up, but it doesn't actually become as convenient as a smartphone because it's so bulky when it's folded up. It's not going to be as slim, it's not going to fit in your pocket, it's going be probably quite heavy to carry around. So, it doesn't quite have the convenience of a phone and a tablet rolled into one."

LEADIN:
Samsung is pushing back this week's planned public launch of its highly anticipated, $2000 USD folding phone.
It comes after reports that reviewers' phones were breaking.
The company had been planning to release the Galaxy Fold on Friday (26 April), but instead it will now run more tests and announce a new launch date in the "coming weeks".
STORYLINE:
People eager to snap up one of Samsung's much hyped Galaxy Fold smartphones this week are now having to wait a few weeks more while tests are carried out on the new devices.
The delay is a setback for Samsung and for the smartphone market generally, which had been pinning some hopes on the folding phone to catalyze innovation in the industry.
The Galaxy Fold, with its $1,980 price tag, was not intended to be a mass market hit, but many hoped it would hint at a new wave of smartphone advances - an area that has been lagging in recent years.
But device reviewers quickly found issue with the Galaxy Fold, which is about the size of an average smartphone when folded, and the size of a small tablet when its two sides are pulled apart.
Several journalists reported the inside screens flickering, freezing and finally dying on their test units within the first couple days.
Two reviewers mistakenly removed an outer plastic layer that was meant to stay on and reported scratches on the screen afterwards.
Samsung confirmed last week that the layer was meant to stay on. But that didn't explain why many reviewers saw the phone's inside screens break.
An early inspection showed there could be issues when pressure is put on the exposed areas of the hinges that open and close the phone, Samsung said in a statement announcing the launch delay Monday (23 April 2019).
It also found an issue where "substances found inside the device affected the display performance".
Samsung said it will to find ways to better protect the screens and explain to people that the outside protective layer must stay on.
Other test phones seemed to still be working well, and so far holding up to the Samsung pledge that the phone can be unfolded about 200,000 times in its life.
The Associated Press was given a preview of the device last week (16 April), before reports that reviewers' phones were breaking.
"What we've done is we've designed a beautiful product that is designed primarily to use in open mode, but it fits perfectly in your hand for single-handed grip," explained Mark Notton, portfolio director for Samsung Europe.
"And then you can see, when you open the device there, it's got this fully immersive, beautiful screen on the inside."
"The smartphone hasn't changed in a very long time," said Shona Ghosh, senior tech reporter for Business Insider.
"If you think about what they look like, they have looked like sleek, black, rectangles of glass for many, many years now.
"And so, as we hit peak smartphone and people sort of stop renewing their devices quite so frequently, smartphone makers are finding that their profits are falling.
