Samsung is finally ready to sell the Galaxy Fold, five months after the foldable handset was originally supposed to go on sale in select markets. As fans of the new smartphone form factor should know by now, Samsung had to fix several Galaxy Fold design flaws that allowed irreversible damage to the screen. Mind you, even the final version of the Fold that’s going to be available in AT&T, Best Buy, and Samsung Experience stores on Friday has a fragile display that scratches and breaks easily. Samsung has already thought of that and confirmed that replacements will be available for free under warranty, or for a fee in the event of accidental damage — that’s $149 for the first time you replace the display and $599 every time after that. Samsung is far from giving up on the form factor it pioneered, and a second-generation Galaxy Fold is expected to be released less than a year after the first model. Now, a new report gives us yet another reason to skip the first-gen version that will hit store shelves on Friday.
