the Galaxy Fold It has become one of the most controversial smartphones of this year and has yet to be officially launched. Right from the start, the review units cracked, broke, or developed lumps on the screen making them unusable. The problem identified was a poor hardware design choice that left a large 6mm gap at the bottom of the hinge, which was an entry point for dust and particles.

For a phone that is nearing the $ 2,000 mark, it is unacceptable to have such glaring design flaws, which is why there was a recall and Samsung has yet to tell us when the phone might officially launch. After almost a month and a half, we will likely know this release date. A samsung executive Has been reported have hinted that the Galaxy Fold could be released sometime in July.
Also according to South Korea Yonhap News AgencySamsung is in the process of testing the redesigned model with three mobile carriers in the US and has a selected launch next month.
The two main issues on the Galaxy Fold concerned the device’s hinge and the protective layer on the device’s screen. For the latest issue, the report says that Samsung has placed the protective plastic cover under the frame of the device, which makes it really difficult for a regular user to take it off.
The hinge issue was solved by reducing the gap at the bottom, which was the main reason why dust and debris got into the phone.
