SEOUL: Samsung Electronics Co Ltd is set to launch its first foldable smartphone, the Galaxy Fold, in South Korea on September 6 with fifth-generation (5G) mobile connectivity, the company said on Thursday.
The world’s largest smartphone vendor said the device would be priced $1,977.47.
The highly anticipated handset was originally due to hit the US market in April but the launch was delayed by screen defects detected in samples.
The firm said it would offer 5G and LTE-enabled versions of the Galaxy Fold in select countries including Britain, France, Germany and the United States. It did not provide release dates.
