The Samsung Galaxy Fold will finally be releasing this fall, the company announced on Thursday, July 25. An official release date was not announced but the company did say it will be available in select markets beginning in September. The phone was originally set to release in April.
The release of Samsung’s first foldable device comes after the company worked on “necessary improvements” to get the phone to market.
One of the big issues, when the Samsung Galaxy Fold was sent out to reviewers, was that they mistook the device’s protective film for a disposible screen cover and removed it. That led to a number of broken screens and other issues. Since then, Samsung has worked on the protective shield and has also added caps to protect the phone’s hinge.
Along with a timeframe from the release, Samsung announced that the phone will retail for $1,980.
Here is what we know about the Samsung Galaxy Fold.
