Samsung faced some
troubles related to the Galaxy Fold smartphone ahead of its launch and the
company decided to postpone the sales of its first foldable smartphone. While
the South Korean giant is yet to officially start sales, Russian manufacturer
Caviar has launched three limited edition variants of the Galaxy Fold.
Out of the three
new variants, one of them is Samsung Galaxy Fold Game of Thrones Edition,
inspired by the American fantasy series
Game of Thrones. The other two variants are Leather and Carbon. Almost
everything on the limited edition smartphone is the same as the standard Galaxy
Fold, except that it comes with a custom Game of Thrones skin on the GoT
edition.
The Game of Thrones
Edition of Samsung Galaxy Fold features big houses from the Seven Kingdoms,
figures of dragons and towers of the palace, and engraved map of Westeros. The
company has made just seven units of this edition and it has gifted one unit to
Game of Thrones writer George Martin.
If you are a fan of
Game of Thrones and want to own this limited edition device, get ready to shell
out an insane amount of money. The Samsung Galaxy Fold Game of Thrones Edition
is priced at US$ 8,180, which is four times the cost of the standard edition. The
standard Samsung Galaxy Fold is priced at US$ 1,980 and is expected to soon get
launched. The company has reportedly fixed the display-related issues and is
all set to officially commence the phone’s sales.
The Samsung Galaxy
Fold smartphone presents a 7.3-inch Infinity Flex Display with a 1536 x 2152
resolution. In this mode, you can use three apps at the same time which Samsung
calls Three-app Multitasking.
When folded into
phone mode, it offers a 4.6-inch 840 x 1960 display. It comes with a feature
called App Continuity which automatically adjust an app when you switch
screens. It is powered by a 7nm processor paired with 12GB of RAM.
The phone comes
with a camera module that’s made up of a 16MP ultra-wide camera, a 12MP
telephoto camera, and another 12MP wide-angle camera. On the front side, it
comes with a 10MP sensor. It runs the latest Samsung One UI with Android 9 Pie
operating system out-of-the-box. The phone packs a 4,380mAh battery which is
split into two units.
