Intended to be the kind of flagship device that would certify Samsung as one of the leading innovators in the mobile business, the Galaxy Fold has been anything but. The first foldable Galaxy handset was supposed to launch on April 26th, but then Samsung was forced to abruptly cancel the phone’s release just days after early reviewers discovered a few severe quality issues with the handset. It was the worst thing that can happen with a foldable display during testing: the foldable screens were breaking. Two separate issues made the screen unusable, forcing Samsung to go back to the drawing board in search of fixes to the problems.
It took Samsung several months to come forward with a redesign of the hinge and of the foldable plastic film on top of the screen. Then, Samsung quietly started taking pre-order registrations for the Galaxy Fold in China and then in the US, looking to see whether buyers were still interested in the device. Samsung has yet to announce a new release date of the handset, but the date new has just leaked from a reliable source… and it couldn’t come at a worse time for Samsung.
