This gives the phone a much better fold — perhaps much closer to, if not […]

High rollers: Tell us all about your Galaxy Fold!

[ad_1] Engadget gave the Galaxy Fold a passable, but not outstanding, score of 70 due to its ongoing durability concerns, the limited usability of the outer screen and the unpolished software.
