After delaying the phone for 89 days, Samsung is finally ready to announce a new release window for the Galaxy Fold. It’ll be coming out in September. The company hasn’t given a specific date yet. And as initially planned, it’ll only be available in select countries. Samsung will be releasing specific sale dates as the month approaches.
The company took the time to fix issues with the Galaxy Fold to avoid the troubles it encountered. These include extending the protective top layer beyond the bezel, adding “reinforcements to stop debris from getting under the screen, and new “protection caps” to strengthen the top and bottom parts of the hinge. There are natural gaps there where particles could get in. Samsung also added metal reinforcements beneath the screen, presumably to make the plastic screen stiffer. There’s also less of an air gap between the Fold’s body and its hinge.
