In the Q1 of 2019, Samsung took covers off its first foldable smartphone which is called the Galaxy Fold. Soon after its launch, the device was surrounded by controversy, as units received by some of the early reviewers started failing within just hours of usage. Nonetheless, Samsung has reiterated its design slightly which seems to have fixed the problem.
While the updated Galaxy Fold has already been available for purchase in several countries which include South Korea, the USA and India, according to internal sources, the company has decided to launch the distinctive device in the Chinese market on November 8 at a price of 14,999 yuan ($ 2,120). Samsung has reportedly sold 500,000 units of this smartphone so far and it is expected to run out of stock soon after its launch in China.
To recall, the Samsung Galaxy Fold features two displays, out of which, the main cover display measures 4.6 inch while the second 7.3 inch Dynamic AMOLED foldable panel is present on the inside.
