Samsung GALAXY FOLD. Just a few weeks after the official presentation of the phone, today we have a first performance test that shows us that things are not quite as good as the customers hoped. The Samsung GALAXY FOLD is a phone that costs 2000 euros, and this money includes a lot of innovative technology, but among those offered is not a processor that will bring very good performance for the new smartphone model.
Samsung GALAXY FOLD. Although it has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 chip implemented, the new phone barely reaches 9700 points in Geekbench's multi-core test, and 3400 points in the single-core test, far below what the iPhone XS offers. The performance test for the Samsung GALAXY FOLD confirms the fact that the differences compared to the Samsung GALAXY S10 from this point of view will not really exist, the speed with which everything will be run in the phones will be almost identical.
Samsung GALAXY FOLD. Performance WAY BELOW Expectations

On the other hand, the performances we see now for this foldable phone will not be much different from those that will be offered by Huawei MATE X, which has an even weaker processor. Both Samsung and Huawei have decided to implement processors in their phones that are not as efficient as Apple's, but in the case of the Samsung GALAXY FOLD it is hard to say if this will affect sales.
Samsung GALAXY FOLD. Considering that the first foldable phones are only prototypes of devices from a market segment that is in full creation, expectations must be low for them. Either they won't have good performance, or they won't offer a really good user experience, phones like Samsung GALAXY FOLD or Huawei MATE X are just the beginning of something that will become the new normal for customers in the future.
