Look at how strong the magnets are inside Samsung's $2,000 Galaxy Fold
Marques Brownlee used magnetic viewing film to see the location of the magnets inside the Galaxy Fold. The phone has two large magnets on the left and right side, roughly two-thirds towards the bottom of the device.
The magnets keep the Galaxy Fold sealed shut when folded up. But the strength of the magnets can also pick up metal objects.
When closed, the Galaxy Fold is strong enough to pick up a bunch of washers.
Like so.
It's also strong enough to pick up a bag of nails.
It can pick up your house keys.
It can lift a hex key, also known as an Allen key.
It can lift an Apple Pencil, since that also contains magnets for attaching to the iPad Pro.
It can pick up a wrench. A wrench!
If you're worried about this level of magnetism being dangerous, though, don't be. Magnets are really only dangerous if they're ingested, so please don't swallow your Galaxy Fold (we really shouldn't have to tell you this).
