After running into a bunch of display issues with the Galaxy Fold, Samsung postponed the release of its first foldable phone. A new report from Korea’s Yonhap News Agency talks about how the company is fixing the issues reviewers had with their units. The phone was originally supposed to come out on April 26th, but with reviewers running into problems that caused the screen to break easily, Samsung opted to delay the launch of the phone.
One of the fixes it’s employing is tucking the protective film under the frame of the device so it’ll be harder for its user to remove. The amount of hinge that is exposed has also reportedly been minimized to prevent foreign objects from getting under the screen and destroying it. Samsung told Yonhap News Agency that it’s testing the redesigned model with three wireless carriers in Korea. According to CNBC, we expect a new release date announcement in the “coming weeks.” Samsung said it’ll automatically cancel the pre-orders of customers who don’t confirm interest in the device if the company can’t ship it by May 31st.
