Feast Your Eyes On These Beauties



Samsung Galaxy Fold

A Smartphone. A Tablet. Folded Into One

Samsung has launched a new Galaxy series called the Samsung Galaxy Fold and its the first of its kind. Beautiful and elegant are just a few words to describe the build of such ingenuity. DJ Koh said

“We created Galaxy Fold for those that want to experience what a premium foldable device can do, beyond the limitations of a traditional smartphone.”

The internal screen does not merely bend. It folds. Folding is a more intuitive motion, and a more difficult innovation to deliver. The fingerprint scanner is found on the side where the thumb naturally rests, so the device unlocks easily. Two batteries and the components are evenly distributed so Galaxy Fold feels balanced in your hands. Galaxy Fold opens smoothly and naturally, like a book, and closes flat and compact with a satisfying click. To achieve this, Samsung engineered a sophisticated hinge with multiple interlocking gears. This system is housed in a hidden enclosure for a seamless and elegant look.

Price - $1980/ €1746/£1516/₦716,000



Samsung Galaxy Buds

These are true wireless earbuds tuned by AKG which provides premium sound, two microphones which switch depending on if your environment is noisy or not. Its equipped with bixby, wireless charging and other cool features.

They're definitely better than the Apple AirPods and even come as a freebie if you pre-order any of the new S10 devices. And Oh, you can charge it wirelessly with your samsung Galaxy S10 using Wireless Powershare. Its costs $129/ €114/£99/₦47,000
