- Dual 50MP Camera: A 50MP wide camera with OIS and a 50MP ultra-wide give sharp shots from close-ups to wide scenes.

- All-Day Battery: The 4,800mAh battery is rated for up to 26 hours of video playback and supports 45W wired charging.
- Lightest Fold Yet: At 201g and 4.5mm thin unfolded, it is the lightest Galaxy Fold Samsung has made.
Please note: There is no microSD slot and no charger in the box. Use a 45W Samsung adapter (sold separately) for the fastest charging.
