«After China, Samsung announces the postponement of the launch of the Galaxy Fold, the folding smartphone presented at the end of February, also in the US. A decision to allow further testing and to evaluate the comments of critics, according to which further improvements are needed for the device that costs almost 2,000 dollars.
Some critics have in fact found non-negligible defects, such as the breaking of the screen only after one or two days of use. The foldable Galaxy was due to arrive in US stores on April 26. Samsung will announce the new launch date in the coming weeks. “While many critics have shared with us the enormous potential they saw” in the device, “some have shown us how it needs further improvement to ensure a better experience for consumers. To better evaluate the comments and conduct further tests, we have decided to postpone the launch of the Galaxy Fold. We will announce the launch date in the coming weeks, ”says Samsung.
The postponement of the launch of the Galaxy Fold feeds fears that the debacle of the Galaxy Note 7, withdrawn from the market for the battery that caught fire and that has dealt a heavy blow to the reputation of the South Korean giant, could be repeated. For Samsung, the announcement of the delay in the launch is a serious blow: the giant had placed a lot of hopes in the folding device, with which it aimed to arrive among the first in the sector and establish itself. The closed Galaxy Fold measures like a 4.6-inch smartphone while open is a 7.3-inch tablet. "
