What's the story

Samsung's most-expensive smartphone till date, the Galaxy Fold, has been spotted on Geekbench.

The phone has appeared on the processor benchmarking platform with Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 chipset, 12GB of RAM and Android Pie.

However, despite the top-end specifications, the $2,000 worth premium foldable phone has fared badly. It lags behind even the $749 worth iPhone XR.

Here's everything to know.

Technicality

Firstly, what is Geekbench and Geekbench's scores?

Geekbench is a cross-platform processor benchmark platform which grades processors on their single-core and multi-core performances.

While calculating multi-core scores, Geekbench runs multiple streams of instructions simultaneously per core and reports an aggregate score.

With single-core scores, the same process is applied but on a single core.

Notably, the quicker a CPU completes the instructions, the higher is its Geekbench score.

Scores

Here's how Galaxy Fold performed on Geekbench

Galaxy Fold, with model number SM-F900F, has appeared on Geekbench with Snapdragon 855 chipset, 12GB of RAM and Android Pie OS.

In terms of performance, the foldable phone has scored 3,418 on single-core and 9,703 on multi-core tests.

These scores are quite disappointing considering Apple's iPhone Xr with A12 Bionic chipset, scored 4,794 and 11,215 in single and multi-core tests, respectively.

Design & display

Meanwhile, here's recalling the Samsung Galaxy Fold

The Galaxy Fold comes with two displays: a 4.58-inch HD+ (1960x840 pixels) external screen with 21:9 aspect ratio, and a foldable 7.3-inch QHD+ (2152x1536 pixels) Infinity Flex internal display which offers a tablet-like experience.

The device features a new hinge system that uses "multiple interlocking gears" to create a fold that is largely concealed.

Moreover, the Fold gets a plastic outer casing and a side-mounted fingerprint scanner.

Seamless UX

Samsung Galaxy Fold also offers App Continuity, three-app multitasking

To leverage both the screens, Samsung has introduced App Continuity feature which automatically opens the app in the main internal display when you switch to the tablet mode.

Further, in the tablet mode, you can run three apps simultaneously for an impressive multitasking experience.

Notably, Google is also working to optimize Android OS to support the foldable form factor.

India pricing and availability

Samsung Galaxy Fold is priced at $1,980. However, because of taxes, the premium device could arrive in India at over $2,000 or approx. Rs. 1.4 lakh.

As for availability, the pre-orders for the phone are said to start from April 26. Hence, we can expect Samsung to bring the Galaxy Fold in India around the same time.
