Remember the Galaxy Note the original phablet ???. Everybody laughed and said that 3.5" was more than enough.

I like that Samsung is not afraid to try different approaches and let the market decide what it wants.

> The Galaxy Fold doesn’t fold completely in half, however, so there is a small gap in the center of the device when it is closed.

Seems to be the key limitation in every folding concept/product announced or released so far. The tech isn't ready, and I doubt there will be any real first mover advantage.

I don't know about Galaxy Fold but I would buy a fold-able Monitor that can be carried around in my laptop backup.

Starting from 1980$, let me think about it ... Nope.
