The Samsung Galaxy Fold is finally coming out September 27 — here’s where

By

The Samsung Galaxy Fold is finally here. After a delayed launch due to build-quality issues, the phone now has a new release date — September 27. As the first folding phone that’s widely available to consumers, the Fold is arguably the most groundbreaking phone of the past few years. Sure, it’s expensive — but it’s also not really aimed at most consumers, and will instead serve as a buyable proof-of-concept for those who enjoy being the first to get their hands on new technology.

The Galaxy Fold will be available unlocked through the Samsung website and Best Buy. As announced at launch, the device will cost $1,980, but anyone who orders the device now will get Samsung’s Premier Service, which gives customers access to support from Samsung experts at any time.

If you pre-ordered the phone in June, you will have to order it again, as your original order has been canceled. You should also have been contacted by Samsung regarding an offer of a $250 gift card in compensation for the canceled order.

Carriers

While both AT&T and T-Mobile were originally set to carry the Galaxy Fold, T-Mobile has since backed out and only AT&T will carry the phone. In other words, you’ll have to either buy the device unlocked, or buy through AT&T if you want the Galaxy Fold for yourself.

AT&T

The Samsung Galaxy Fold will be available direct from AT&T, and you’ll be able to get it for yourself from select AT&T stores or from the AT&T website starting on September 27. As you might expect, the phone isn’t cheap — you’ll pay $1,980 upfront or $66 per month for 30 months.

T-Mobile

T-Mobile was also set to carry the Galaxy Fold for its original launch, but after the build quality issues, the carrier backed out of carrying the device. Unfortunately, you’ll have to buy the device unlocked if you want to use it on T-Mobile.

The phone boasts an impressive juxtaposition of internal hardware, but one that instantly stands tall is the new display. The Realme GT Neo 6 SE features a 6.78-inch OLED display with a spectacular 6,000 nits of brightness -- brighter than the displays on any other phone or consumer device with a screen built into it.

It looks like Samsung is finally heeding the concerns about camera woes from Galaxy S24 Ultra users and will patch things up with a software update. According to a reliable leak, a software update will take stock of the “telephoto image quality, inaccurate white balance ,and abnormal red color” issues that are currently being reported by users on public forums.

“Too much optimization on 50 MP and 200 MP sensors even when everything is set to minimum,” says one Galaxy S24 Ultra buyer. “I feel like photos taken are always very washed-out and grainy,” notes another owner. “50mp and 200mp is simply useless because of the Intelligent optimization. It's downgrading the pics,” reads a complaint on the official Samsung community forum.
