One of the great technological innovations that this 2019 promised were folding phones, and although that may still come to fruition, the failed departure of the Samsung Galaxy Fold pilot and the problems that we all could see with that first prototype have been delayed for the good of consumers the entire launch schedule.
After a space of now like three months, in which Samsung returned to the design table to improve the style of the hinge and screen protector, rumors seem to indicate that the new and improved Samsung Galaxy Fold would be ready to go on sale. market. But nevertheless, the South Korean company has not yet made an official statement On a new launch date, as many are, that this new delay could be associated with the imminent launch of the Galaxy Note 10, in order not to overshadow the launches if they were made practically at the time.
The necessary redesign would be ready
Regarding the redesign of the Samsung Galaxy Fold, we know that the company has improved the protective membrane of the folding screen, so that it does not look like a plastic film that can be torn, but is practically part of the screen itself, and does not have edges that invite the user to tear it off with their nailsWell, as we know from the test models, many thought it was just a protective foil and ruined the screen when they started it.
Regarding the hinge, we also know that an improvement has been worked on so that there is no space between it and the screen, which allowed dirt to enter, which was a clear point of failure in the future, as some test users said that the dirt of just a few days it was enough to make lumps on the inside of the screen below the hinge to the point of failure.
Release date pending
Although Samsung has not confirmed if the phone would finally be launched between August or September, or if we will have to wait perhaps until next year, we could speculate that they would not want to go on the market after the launch of the Huawei Mate X, Huawei’s folding phone, which is also delayed but with an estimated launch date for September, so if so, we would be a few weeks away from the launch of at least one of these two folding phones.
However, today a company spokesman for the markets of the Czech Republic and Slovakia, such as executive David Sahula, came out this weekend to clarify that although the phone has already passed all durability tests, is not aware of any upcoming release date for the Samsung Galaxy Fold, so it would be best to wait for an official announcement from the company, before continuing to heed the rumors.
