Breaking: Samsung might delay release of Galaxy Fold for one month
According to a new report from The Wall Street Journal, Samsung is planning to delay the release of the company’s first foldable device, the Samsung Galaxy Fold.
The report cites “people familiar with the matter” as the source of the rumor. We have reached out to Samsung directly for confirmation.
Earlier today, word spread that Samsung was going to delay the release in China. However, this new rumor points to the delay happening worldwide.
If the report is true, the delay would almost certainly be due to the many different reports of the device easily breaking. Last week, multiple device reviewers posted to Twitter that their Galaxy Folds stopped working after only a day or two of use. Some of these issues were related to the accidental removal of a protective film over the foldable display, while others were apparent manufacturer defects.
The reports of these breaks not only made waves in the world of tech journalism but also made national news via outlets like CBS and The BBC.
The Samsung Galaxy Fold is a $2,000 device, so Samsung likely is going to wait to release it before the company can best ensure that customers are satisfied with such an expensive smartphone.
This is a breaking story and we will update as more information comes to light.
