今天，“咪蒙”的賬號被包括微信公衆號、頭條號等在內的多個平臺關停。不過，今天還是不留給她了，年前就上過一次頭條，想吃瓜的可以看歷史文章。今天一起來看看三星這款驚豔的新品。

Samsung’s foldable phone is the Galaxy Fold, available April 26th starting at $1,980
Samsung first teased its foldable phone back in November, and at the company's Galaxy Unpacked event today, it's further detailing its foldable plans.

Samsung is planning to launch the Galaxy Fold on April 26th, starting at $1,980, through AT&T and T-Mobile in the US, with a free pair of Samsung's new wireless earbuds.

Samsung is using a new 7.3-inch Infinity Flex Display that allows the phone itself to have a tablet-sized screen that can be folded to fit into a pocket. The main display is QXGA+ resolution (4.2:3), and when it’s folded, a smaller 4.6-inch HD+ (12:9) display is used for the phone mode. Samsung is using 512GB of Universal Flash Storage 3.0 (eUFS) for fast speeds, alongside a Qualcomm 7nm octa-core processor and 12GB of RAM. Samsung has even built two batteries for its Galaxy Fold, that are separated by the fold but combined in the Android operating system to represent a total of 4,380 mAh.

Samsung has built a sturdy backbone to the device, with a hinge system that has multiple interlocking gears. All of these gears are hidden at the rear of the device, and allow the Galaxy Fold to transform from tablet to phone modes. At the rear of the device there’s also a triple-camera system that will be used for both tablet and phone modes. There’s a 16-megapixel ultra-wide camera, alongside 12-megapixel wide-angle and telephoto cameras at the rear, and a 10-megapixel cover camera for selfies. Samsung is also creating four different colors for the Galaxy Fold, but it’s the main tablet display that’s key here.
sturdy
sturdy /ˈstɜːdɪ/表示“結實的; 堅固的”，英文解釋爲“Someone or something that is sturdy looks strong and is unlikely to be easily injured or damaged.”舉個🌰：
She was a short, sturdy woman in her early sixties.
她是一位六十出頭、矮小結實的女人。

megapixel
表示“（尤指數碼相機的）百萬像素”，英文解釋爲“a million pixel s – used for measuring the quality of a digital picture, especially when talking about digital cameras”，如：a three megapixel camera 三百萬像素的相機。
Samsung is allowing the Galaxy Fold to run three apps at once on this Android device, and it’s using an app continuity system to adjust these apps when you move between tablet and phone modes. Apps like WhatsApp, Microsoft Office, and YouTube have all been optimized for the new display and modes, and Samsung has been working with Google to ensure Android 9 Pie fully supports this display.
optimize

The new systems have been optimized for running Microsoft Windows.
新系統已經被優化，以便運行微軟Windows系統。
Samsung demonstrated a variety of apps running in this mode, and the switching from phone to tablet and vice versa. It looks rather smooth in the software right now, but it’s fair to say that the Galaxy Fold looks far better when it’s folded out than being used as a traditional phone. The phone display is clearly designed to be used with one hand, but it's flanked by large bezels that aren’t found on the tablet mode. We’ll need to get a closer look at the Galaxy Fold to find out exactly how this impacts the device usability, though.
vice versa
表示“反過來也是如此，反之亦然”，英文解釋爲“used to say that the opposite of a situation you have just described is also true”舉個🌰：
The boys may refuse to play with the girls, and vice versa.
男孩可能拒絕和女孩玩耍，反之亦然。
rather

The instructions were rather complicated.
這些說明相當複雜。
flank
表示“兩側有”，英文解釋爲“If something is flanked by things, it has them on both sides of it, or sometimes on one side of it.”舉個🌰：
The altar was flanked by two Christmas trees.
聖壇的兩側有兩棵聖誕樹。
bezel
bezel /ˈbɛzəl/表示“（手錶、手機等的）嵌玻璃凹槽，鑲嵌板外圈”，英文解釋爲“a ring with a long narrow cut around the inside, used to hold sth in place, such as the cover of a watch or mobile phone/cellphone”。
Samsung isn't the only smartphone maker creating a foldable device, but it's certainly one of the first to make it widely available. Xiaomi teased its own folding phone recently, that looked like the best concept we've seen so far. Huawei is also reportedly planning to release a foldable handset this year, and Lenovo has started to tease its own prototype. LG has also been developing flexible OLED displays and TVs that roll up into a box. If all these manufacturers progress toward shipping a device like Samsung, then expect to see a lot of foldable phones in 2019 and beyond.
prototype
表示“樣機；原型”，英文解釋爲“A prototype is a new type of machine or device that is not yet ready to be made in large numbers and sold”舉個🌰：
He has built a prototype of a machine called the wave rotor.
他做出了一臺叫做波轉子的樣機。
roll
roll/roll up，表示“使成筒形（球形）”，英文解釋爲“to make something into the shape of a tube or ball”舉個🌰：
Would you like the paper rolled or folded?
這紙你要捲起來，還是摺疊起來？
