Although the arrival date of the Samsung Galaxy Fold, Samsung's folding phone, was scheduled for last April, screen problems found in test units forced the company to delay its launch. It has been months of waiting, but the official date on which the Galaxy Fold will land on the market is finally known. He will do it tomorrow, September 6, first in his native South Korea, and then do the same in other territories such as France, Germany, Singapore, the United Kingdom and the United States, among others, from September 18. In Spain it will be available in mid-October.
The Samsung Galaxy Fold can be purchased in two colors: Cosmos Black and Space Silver, and also buyers from Germany and the United Kingdom will have the 5G version.

The Samsung Galaxy Fold that will go on sale tomorrow in South Korea is practically the same that we saw in February, although with some changes designed to improve the durability of the panel, thus avoiding the entry of dirt, the main cause of the problems that the test units suffered. The most important change is the protective layer, which some users removed thinking it was a throw-away protector. This protective layer now goes beyond the edges.
Another addition has been the covers to protect the hinges. In short, with these changes the company hopes that its new folding mobile will achieve the acceptance and success that they expected last February, the month of its official presentation. Regarding its technical characteristics, these are the same ones that we already knew at the time. The Samsung Galaxy Fold stands out for its double screen, designed to use one or the other depending on our needs. The one we see on the cover is a 4.6-inch Super AMOLED panel with HD + resolution. The main one has a size of 7.3 inches with QXGA resolution, 4.2: 3 format and uses Dynamic AMOLED technology.
The Samsung Galaxy Fold also has a Snapdragon 855 processor, accompanied by 12 GB of RAM and 512 GB of UFS 3.0 storage. The terminal equips a 4,380 mAh battery with fast charging and wireless charging, as well as an Android 9 system under the Samsung One UI customization layer. As we explained at the beginning of the article, the new Samsung folding mobile can be purchased in Spain in mid-October. It is expected to be priced at 2,000 euros. The 5G version could go up to 2,100 euros.
