Samsung delays Galaxy Fold launch in the US by at least one month
After postponing some of the Galaxy Fold launch events in Asia, Samsung has just confirmed that the foldable smartphone won’t make its debut in the United States on April 26, as previously announced.
Despite the fact that the South Korean company initially denied any plans to postpone the US launch of the Galaxy Fold due to the issues reported by some reviewers, The Wall Street Journal reports Samsung will announce a new release date “in the coming weeks.”
If you’re one of the 2,000 customers who’ve already pre-ordered the Samsung Galaxy Fold in the United States, you won’t be getting your phone any time soon. The smartphone makers has already sent emails to those who pre-ordered the foldable device informing them about the delay.
Last week we shared some of the first production units with reviewers in the US. Many reviewers shared with us the vast potential they saw for this new form factor, but a few had some issues. We want our customers to have the best experience possible which is why, after initial feedback, we have decided to delay the release of the category-changing Galaxy Fold to make sure it measures up to the high standards we know you expect from us.
