Samsung's Galaxy Fold missed its release date in April due to screen problems with
review units. Since then, the company hasn't given a new release date for the
foldable phone. Now one Samsung executive reportedly says the device is ready to
go.
Kim Seong-cheol, vice president for Samsung Display, said during a speech Tuesday
that the Galaxy Fold is "ready to hit the market," according to The Korea Herald .
"Most of the display problems have been ironed out, and the Galaxy Fold is ready to
hit the market," he reportedly said at the Korean Information Display Society
conference in Seoul.
Samsung Display is the subsidiary that provides displays for the Korean company.
Samsung didn't immediately reply to a request for comment.
In April, review units of the Fold began experiencing issues such as bubbling under
the screen and displays flickering . Samsung announced it would delay the release of
the folding phone soon after these issues became public. Since then, Best Buy and
AT&T canceled preorders for the phone, citing the lack of a release date provided by
Samsung, which continues to say the phone will be coming out in the "coming
weeks."
Samsung previously denied reports of a Galaxy Fold July release.
