The Samsung Galaxy Fold has been officially unveiled on stage at Samsung' s Unpacked 2019 launch event.
It's the first foldable phone from the firm and today we got our first proper look at the device after a preview was given to us during Samsung's Developer Conference towards the end of 2018.
Brace yourself though, as Samsung has made it clear that the Galaxy Fold is a premium device, and it certainly has the price tag to back up that claim.
This isn't a device for everyone - you'll really need to be committed to owning the next generation of device if you opt for the Fold.
The Samsung Galaxy Fold price is a staggering $1,980 (€2,000), making it comfortably more expensive than pretty much every other mainstream smartphone on the market.
The Samsung Galaxy Fold release date is April 26 in the US and May 3 in Europe.

Samsung Galaxy Fold design and displays
On the front of the Samsung Galaxy Fold there is a 4.6-inch display, but open the phone up and you'll find a 7.3-inch Infinity Flex display which transforms the phone into a tablet.
The Galaxy Fold will be available in four colors; Space Silver, Cosmos Black, Martian Green and Astro Blue. Depending on the color you choose, you will also be able to personalize the color of the hinge.
When folded in phone-mode, the Galaxy Fold certainly looks chunky, which could make it a little tricky to slip into a pocket.
On the side of the device you'll find a fingerprint scanner, while inside there's a battery in each half of the Samsung Galaxy Fold, which work together to offer one power source.
Samsung says a luxury device needs luxury packaging, and it'll include a pair of its new wireless buds in the box.
Samsung Galaxy Fold specs and interface
The Samsung Galaxy Fold packs 12GB of RAM and a high-end 7nm processor, making it one of the most powerful phones on the market. It also comes with 512GB of internal storage and support for UFS 3.0 (Universal Flash Storage), allowing the handset to read data even faster.
The large folding screen supports three app multi-tasking, allowing you to have three apps open on the display at the same time.
App Continuity allows you to continue your app experience as you fold between the two displays.
Apps such as WhatsApp and Microsoft Office have been specially adapted to work with the Galaxy Fold's 7.3-inch display.
It has a total of six cameras, with three on the rear, one on the front and two above the 7.3-inch display inside the fold.
