Due to the inclusion of strong magnets, which are responsible for keeping the device closed in transit, the Galaxy Fold has the amusing wherewithal to pick up metal objects, like a bag of nails, a set of house keys and even a wrench — as evidenced in YouTube star Marques Brownlee's video.
In fact, you can actually see the magnets in action in Brownlee's video, thanks to his use of magnetic viewing film. There are two located on both the left and right side, two-thirds towards the bottom. Some would consider that overkill, but Samsung had to be certain they'd keep it folded closed.
After all, we've all seen what can happen if lint seeps into the screen. So if the use of super-strong magnets is required to keep the handset folded shut when not in use, we're all for them. And let's not forget they're multi-purpose — they can even help you retrieve the keys we postulated earlier.
