Samsung's compact Fold packs a tablet-sized screen into a phone-sized body

Samsung's new compact Fold offers a tablet-sized screen in a phone-sized body, balancing portability and usability, but its high price and camera compromises keep it in luxury territory. It is smaller and lighter than the Fold Ultra, with a 5.5-inch external display and 7.6-inch internal screen. Performance is fast, battery lasts about a day, but it lacks a telephoto camera. Prices start at $2,000. The Fold joins Samsung's expanded foldable lineup, sitting between the Flip clamshell and larger Fold Ultra. As market leader, Samsung's embrace of this compact format could broaden the foldable category's appeal.
