When Samsung announced its first foldable phone, the Galaxy Fold, in February amid a flurry of excitement, it was slated for a May launch. But the well-documented faults of early review samples put a delay to proceedings, and only now after months of anticipation has Samsung confirmed a new launch date.
Four months after its original release date, the Fold will launch in September in select markets. Exact availability details will be shared in the coming weeks – perhaps during its Galaxy Note 10 launch event in August, then.
The top protective layer of the Infinity Flex Display has been extended beyond the bezel to help make it apparent that it's an integral part of the display and not supposed to be removed.
There are now additional reinforcements to better protect the display and other parts of the device, and the top and bottom of the hinge area has been further strengthened. The space between the Fold's hinge and body has been reduced, too.
