From flip phones to the first ever touch screens, every few years a new revolution hits the mobile phone world: and in 2019, it's foldable phone screens.
After unveiling the new Samsung Galaxy Fold last month, the South Korean tech giant has is about to open pre-orders for their all-new folding smartphone.
Setting you back £1,799 - including free Galaxy Buds and a protective case - with pre-orders for the new phone going live on Samsung.com/uk/Galaxy-Fold and ee.co.uk/samsungfold on Friday April 26, before the world's first foldable phone officially hits shelves all across the country on Friday May 3, 2019.
Pre-registration opened today though, so if you want to be first to reserve yours, you can sign up for pre-registration on the EE or Samsung website and they'll email you as soon as pre-orders open with a link to the live page.
There's four colours to choose from: Space Silver, Cosmos Black, Martian Green and Astro Blue, although the latter two colours will be exclusive to Samsung, and therefore not available on EE.
Conor Pierce, Corporate Vice President, Samsung UK and Ireland said: “Samsung is delighted to be partnering with EE to bring the incredible new Galaxy Fold to the UK market.
