Samsung plans to release its redesigned Galaxy Fold in September, but reports suggest we’ll see it this Friday, Sept. 6.
The foldable phone will come out in South Korea that day, Reuters reported on Wednesday. Friday happens to be the first day of the IFA 2019 trade show in Berlin, which would give Samsung a platform for an announcement.
The $1,980 foldable phone was originally meant to go on sale on April 26, and preorders sold out on the first day. But four days before that date, Samsung delayed the release of the phone after reviewers reported screen breakages, flickering and bulging.
Corrections have been made and the screen, internal structure and hinge area have been reinforced.
Huawei’s rival foldable, the $2,600 Mate X, was originally due to arrive in September as well, but the company reportedly said we’re unlikely to see it before November.
