Samsung Galaxy Fold is one of the much anticipated smartphone to have launched this year. Even though the phone was unveiled earlier this year, the phone’s launch has been delayed multiple times due to design and build quality issues.
However, the company recently confirmed that the Samsung Galaxy Fold, the company’s first foldable smartphone, will go on sale from September this year, but the South Korean giant had not revealed the exact dates.
Now, a new report claims that the smartphone will be launched in South Korea on 6th September. As per the report, the company was planning to launch the Galaxy Fold in late September but for some reason, it has decided to launch in early September.
Interestingly, IFA 2019 in Berlin is also kicking-off from 6th September so there’s a possibility that Samsung could use that stage to re-launch its Galaxy Fold smartphone and talk about the changes in detail.
As for the rest of the world, it’s being said that Samsung will release the Galaxy Fold in other countries later next month. Exact dates for the U.S., the UK, Canada, and other countries is still unknown, but we hope to learn more about it pretty soon. Earlier this week, Samsung China had started taking pre-registration for the Galaxy Fold smartphone on its website.
Samsung has already confirmed that it made several important changes to the phone’s design addressing the flaws in the original product. Further, it added that the phone was put through ‘rigorous tests’ to validate this new design.
Coming to the specifications, the Samsung Galaxy Fold smartphone presents a 7.3-inch Infinity Flex Display with a 1536 x 2152 pixels screen resolution. In this mode, you can use three apps at the same time which Samsung calls Three-app Multitasking.
When folded into phone mode, it offers a 4.6-inch display with 840 x 1960 pixels screen resolution. It comes with a feature called App Continuity which automatically adjust an app when you switch screens. It is powered by a 7nm processor paired with 12GB of RAM and packs 512GB of internal storage using UFS 3.0 technology.
The phone comes with a camera module that’s made up of a 16MP ultra-wide camera, a 12MP telephoto camera, and another 12MP wide-angle camera. On the front side, it comes with a 10MP sensor. It runs the latest Samsung One UI with Android 9 Pie operating system out-of-the-box. The phone packs a 4,380mAh battery which is split into two units.
The Samsung Galaxy Fold retains the same price tag as before, $1980. Since the company has started pre-registrations for the same, the launch of Samsung’s first foldable smartphone should be just days away.
