Exclusive: New Galaxy Fold may be more affordable, feature 256GB storage

-

Samsung will finally release the Galaxy Fold in the next few weeks but there's already some interest in the handset's successor. The company's first foldable smartphone has been through a rollercoaster ride ever since it was first introduced earlier this year. Samsung has addressed the issues which delayed the April launch and is now confident that it will be able to live up to expectations.

We've heard multiple times over the past few months that Samsung is working on new foldable smartphones as well. It's believed to be considering different form factors and may also launch a more affordable model as not everyone will be willing to spend $2,000 on a smartphone. We hear that one of the ways that Samsung might bring the price down is by opting for lower internal storage on the new Galaxy Fold.

New Galaxy Fold could come with 256GB internal storage

The original Galaxy Fold comes with 512GB of UFS 3.0 storage. Samsung gave this device the best of everything. This wasn't just to prove a point, that a first-gen foldable smartphone could hold its own, but also to give customers value for money. Samsung's foldable smartphones will eventually become more affordable as the technology matures. There will also be other methods that the company can use to bring the price down.

The new Galaxy Fold that's currently being developed bears model number SM-F700F. We're told that it will come with 256GB of internal storage, half of what the Galaxy Fold features. Little else is known about this device right now. Whether it's going to have a clamshell or outfolding form factor and whether it will have support for the S Pen.

Samsung may also choose to go with a different moniker but that's beside the point. However, it's the first sign that the company is working on a more affordable foldable smartphone. It will make a significant difference if Samsung is able to bring the price down by a few hundred dollars.

We'll be sure to keep our ear to the ground and bring you any information about the new Galaxy Fold as soon as we get it.

Do more from your inbox with Gmail Add-ons

For many of us, email is mission control—the prompt to generate an invoice, prepare a presentation or follow up on a sales opportunity. With so many to-dos, imagine if you could complete these tasks directly from your inbox without interrupting your workflow. We believe email can do more, which is why we're launching Gmail Add-ons, a new way to work with your favorite business apps directly in Gmail. Gmail Add-ons, built for your workflows Rather than toggling between your inbox and other apps, use add-ons to complete actions right from Gmail. With Gmail Add-ons, your inbox can contextually surface your go-to app based on messages you receive to help you get things done faster.

Apple is postponing new iOS features in favor of reliability and performance

Apple has decided to postpone new features in iOS in favor of improving the reliability and performance of the operating system, as according to a report by Axios. According to the report, Craig Federighi, Senior Vice President, Software Engineering, announced the revised plan to employees at a meeting earlier this month. This pushes features like refresh of the homescreen and in-car user interface, improvements to core apps like Mail and camera experience to 2019. What we will get this year is improvements to AR, digital health and parental controls. Apart from that, the OS will largely feature improvements to performance and user experience. We have seen Apple do this with macOS in the past, where they dedicate one entire update cycle to just refining the OS and make existing features work better. However, we have never quite seen Apple do that on iOS. This is largely due to the hyper competitive nature of the mobile market where competition and customer demands push companies t

DJI showcased its new Mavic Air drone in New York. The third quadcopter in this series is of similar quality to its predecessors and can also fold its arms for better portability. For its size, no competitor offers so much in terms of photo quality. Release date and price The DJI Mavic Air can be ordered through the official DJI website  and is also available from other retailers. The drone is available in three colors: marengo grey, white and red. We can buy the Mavic Air in a basic pack with remote control, protections, charger, cover, propeller replacement and a battery from US$799 (£769 in the UK). Often, one battery is not enough so there is a more complete pack available with three batteries, charger for four batteries and two propeller replacements from $999 (£949 in the UK). The red model reminds me of a Porsche. / © AndroidPIT Design and build quality In essence, it is th
