Samsung will start selling its highly anticipated folding phone on Friday, after the original launch date was delayed because of embarrassing problems with the screen.
Samsung says it will start selling its highly anticipated folding phone on Friday, after the original launch date was delayed by months because of embarrassing problems with the screen.
"During the past several months, Samsung has been refining the Galaxy Fold to ensure it delivers the best possible experience," the company said in a statement."Not only we improved the Galaxy Fold's design and construction, but also took the time to rethink the entire consumer journey." Journalists who had received the phones said the folding screen started flickering and turning black before fizzling out. Two reviewers mistakenly removed an outer plastic layer from the screen that was supposed to stay on.
The delay was a setback for Samsung and for the broader smartphone market, which had been looking to folding screens as one way to catalyze innovation in the industry.
