The Pablo Escobar Fold 2 is just a… Samsung Galaxy Fold? (And a scam) | TNW Plugged

Interested in coming to TNW Conference 2025? Look no further, you can register today: https://bit.ly/4dhd7px What if we said the phrases “Pablo Escobar” and “folding phone” to you? Would you be intrigued? Would you want to know more? Fantastic — because today, we’re here to talk about the Pablo Escobar foldable phone. Specifically, the Escobar Fold 2. Long story short, Pablo Escobar’s brother — Roberto Escobar — started a, uh, “tech” company. This organisation, going under the imaginative name Escobar Inc, has a plan to shake-up the phone world. Now, the Escobar Fold 2 has caught people’s attention for one main reason: Its price. Honestly, this thing is ridiculously cheap. Escobar Inc. is selling it for $400. For comparison, Huawei’s just announced Mate Xs foldable will be sold for $2,700. How can the company sell it this cheap? Is it a scam? Yes. Yes it is. While the phone works, it turns out the Escobar Fold 2 is *literally* a Samsung Galaxy Fold covered in gold foil. Find out how this happened in the video above.
