Samsung Galaxy Fold was supposed to a big product for the South Korean giant with it being one of the first true foldables in the market. However, in a bid to become the first mainstream phone maker with a foldable, the company rushed with its launch. With review units being recalled to pre-orders being canceled, the Galaxy Fold didn’t exactly get the start the company would have hoped. After the launch cancellation, Samsung promised that the Fold is coming soon, but we still don’t have a concrete release date.
Company’s CEO, DJ Koh now admits to the Independent that he ‘pushed it through before it was ready’. He further adds, “I do admit I missed something on the foldable phone, but we are in the process of recovery”. As for the status of the foldable device, Koh states that mass volume testing is ongoing right now. He states that there are more than 2000 prototypes being tested right now before the market launch of the device.
However, Koh didn’t reveal an exact time frame for the launch. All he said was the phone would be launched “In due course”. Well, given this statement, don’t expect the Fold to meet us anytime in the near future. Maybe, we’ll see it come to the market alongside the Huawei Mate X which is said to launch in September this year.
