The dual screens also support three applications working side by side. The Samsung phone will have an OS called One UI, which will enable the foldable body of the phone to support Android applications.

The Galaxy Fold has a 10MP selfie camera on the cover screen, a 16Mp-12MP-12MP camera combination rear-triple camera and a 10MP-8MP front dual camera over its second, bigger display.
