Samsung has already missed the April release date of the Galaxy Fold to fix problems with the device. Following which AT&T has cancelled early orders for the Samsung Galaxy Fold.
Samsung announced the highly anticipated Galaxy Fold in February. But when the company sent phones to reviewers, many of them broke. Samsung initially planned to release the Galaxy Fold in April, but review units suffered a series of problems such as bubbling under the screen and displays breaking. That forced Samsung to delay the planned April launch and the company hasn’t yet said when the nearly $2,000 phone will now ship.
AT&T is also offering $100 in credit to those whose orders it has cancelled. AT&T said, “Any money paid in advance would be refunded, and that affected customers would receive a $100 AT&T Promotion Card within the next 60 days.”
In order to fix various issues, Samsung (SSNLF) said it would strengthen the display protection and “enhance the guidance on care and use of the display including the protective layer so that our customers get the most out of their Galaxy Fold.”
When the redesigned Galaxy Fold will ship is still the big mystery but as soon as Samsung announces a release date, AT&T says pre-orders will open again. However, there’s still no official release date and the closest Samsung has come is confirming that it will have a more precise release timeline in the coming weeks.
