Samsung’s Galaxy Fold is finally seeing a global rollout. After first releasing it in South Korea earlier this month, the phone is all set to go on sale in the US later this week. And a new report reveals that the Galaxy Fold will also make its way to India next week.
According to the sources at IANS, one of India’s leading news agencies, Samsung will announce the Galaxy Fold in India on October 1. The foldable flagship is said to be priced between Rs. 1.5 lakh ($2116) and 1.75 lakhs ($2469) in India. In comparison, the Galaxy Fold starts at $1980 in the US, with shipping set to start from Friday, September 27.

Galaxy Fold users in India will reportedly get exclusive access to special customer care services like a one-on-one with Samsung experts and a dedicated 24 x 7 support hub via phone and online. This is similar to what Samsung is offering for the Fold users in the US.
The new Galaxy Fold version comes with a couple of changes like a redesigned hinge and a new protective layer that now looks more like a fixed part of the screen. Inside, the phone features a Snapdragon 855 processor (not the plus version) with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. Given its foldable design, the Galaxy Fold comes with a couple of special software features like App continuity and multi-active windows. It also comes with an in-built app optimization tech that ensures all apps are compatible with the phone’s unique design.
