2019 was poised to be the year of the foldable smartphone, but serious issues with Galaxy Fold review units forced Samsung to delay the release date from April to September. The first of the month came and went without any news, but on Wednesday, Reuters reported that the Galaxy Fold will go on sale in Samsung’s home country of South Korea on Friday, September 6th. International release dates likely aren’t far behind.
A source from a major mobile carrier in South Korea tells Reuters that the phone will cost 2.4 million won (~$1,990), perhaps indicating that the price drop rumor was off-base. Unsurprisingly, Samsung declined to comment on the story, but if the report is accurate, we’ll know by the end of the week, if not later today.
