What if I said the phrases Pablo Escobar and folding phone to you?
Would you be intrigued?
Would you want to know more?
Fantastic because today, were here to talk about the Pablo Escobar foldable phone.
Specifically, the Escobar Fold 2.
And best of all?
Scroll up and let your eyeballs soak in that sweet, sweet Escobar Fold 2 video.
Go on, were waiting.
Are you not a fan of spicy video content?
Its more well knownfor claiming it invented Elon Musks flamethrower.
And now, I guess, the Escobar Fold 2.
So what is the Escobar Fold 2?
Well, its the companys second foldable phone.
Now, the Escobar Fold 2 is the updated version of the phone and is retailing for $400.
A ridiculous price, considering Huaweis latest folding phone (the Mate Xs) will ship for $2,700.
Why do you think its being sold so cheaply?
There are two reasons.
The first is that its quite likely a scam.
Thats a simple explanation.
The other is… weirder.
Sorry… the Escobar Fold 2 is just a Samsung Galaxy Fold?
To see this in action, check out the video at the top of the page.
After that, youre taken to an OS that isexactlythe same as the Korean companys foldable.
We asked Olof Gustafsson, the CEO of Escobar Inc, about this.
He confirmed that the Escobar Fold 2 is just a Samsung Galaxy Fold.
Specifically, Gustafsson told us that Samsung shut down their factory in China.
This led to them [outsourcing] all production to third parties.
And what Escobar Inc has done, according to Gustafsson, is to buy units from these factories.
Which, I guess, is kinda fitting?
What do you think about the Samsung Galaxy Fold/Escobar Fold 2 then?
To put it simply: Its an exciting form with a few design issues.
When the phone is not unfolded its a bit too thick to be comfortable.
Plus, the front screen you use in this mode is kinda crappy.
Unfolding the unit is badass though.
I never got tired of opening and closing the damn thing.
Honestly, I think this sort of phone is the future.
Its just that the future isnt now.
But… heres the kicker.
Yes if you ever actually receive one.
Which you probably wont.
Unless you literally have $400 you dont want to see again.
Conclude this!
So the Escobar Fold 2 is literally just a Samsung Galaxy Fold covered in some gold foil.
Oh, and selling for much, much less.
And thats something, right?
