Samsungchefen: 1 miljon Galaxy Fold redan sålda

The Samsung Galaxy Fold is an Android-based foldable smartphone developed by Samsung Electronics. Unveiled on February 20, 2019, it was released on September 6, 2019 in South Korea. The device is capable of being folded open to expose a 7.3-inch tablet-sized flexible display, while its front contains a smaller "cover" display, intended for accessing the device without opening it. The Galaxy Fold received mixed pre-release reception, with praise for its innovative design, but with critics noting that the screen's plastic coating was not as premium or durable as a traditional glass smartphone screen, and concluding that the Galaxy Fold was a proof of concept device for early adopters rather than a device suited for the mass market. Critics also displayed concerns over the Galaxy Fold's susceptibility to damage by debris due to the lack of protection around the display hinge; after the screens of several review units were damaged in this manner, or by users accidentally removing a protective plastic layer on top of the screen (which could be mistaken as a standard screen protector). In response to these issues, Samsung announced that it would delay the release of the Galaxy Fold indefinitely while it addressed the problems. Samsung officially detailed its design changes in July, and released the phone in September 2019. A version of the device was released exclusively for China Telecom, marketed as the Samsung Galaxy W20 5G with a faster Snapdragon 855+ processor and a unique white finish. The W20 went on sale on December 12.
