The much anticipated Samsung Galaxy Fold have been quite in trouble since the company had announced the very smartphone. There were problems with its screen as it was prone to damage when folded, but after all, it is a foldable phone. So the company had to delay the launch of the smartphone to make improvements to make its screen stronger. And, after five months of its actual release date, the company is ready for the very smartphone’s first release.
The company has finally set 6th September as its launch date, and the first country, to be getting its hands on the smartphone, is Korea. Though the company had already mentioned that the smartphone will be arriving in September, there was no announcement about the actual date.
“The category-defining Galaxy Fold is a device that defies the barriers of traditional smartphone design. Now, we’re excited to release this pioneering mobile technology, and allow consumers to experience it for themselves,” said DJ Koh, President and CEO of IT & Mobile Communications Division, Samsung Electronics.
The new smartphone will take a bit longer to reach the other countries, including the US, the UK France, Germany, Singapore, etc. Some of the “select” countries will also get the 5G version of the same. The smartphone will be available in two colours, i.e., Silver and Black.
Along with the new Samsung Galaxy Fold, the company is also launching a new service named “Galaxy Fold Premier Service,” which will help the users on how to use and handle the new smartphone. It is expected the service will be free of cost and offer an in-person consultation for the users, and Samsung will be appointing experts for the task. These experts will guide the users on how to protect and carefully use the smartphone.
The reason for launching such a service is that the company do not want to take any risks. Though Samsung was ready to launch the smartphone in the spring-time frame, it had to delay the launch due to the wrong went testing of the smartphone. Many of the reviewers whom the company had sent the smartphone for the tests, returned it back damaged. But after Samsung has done some tough work on the same, it wants to train people how to handle it, so that the blame of any sort of damage does not go entirely to the company.
