Samsung has finally revealed when it's going to put the Galaxy Fold on retail shelves. Well, the company hasn't offered a concrete release date yet, but we at present know that the Fold volition come up out in September. Samsung says it has made multiple changes to the Fold'due south design to tackle all the issues that had been discovered when the device was kickoff sent out to the press, and perhaps the near visible change is the updated protection cap covering the gaps between the Fold's screen and hinge.

Yous tin see the original blueprint for the hinge cap compared to the updated ane in the picture below; the protection cap now covers more of the hinge gap, which should finish grit and other particles from beingness able to slip into the device and wreaking havoc. Foreign particles aren't something that people call up of as a danger for regular smartphones, and it was rather unfortunate Samsung forgot about it too when designing the Galaxy Fold. The company clearly focused more on the complexities of the device and disregarded the basics, just the hinge gaps should no longer be cause for business concern.

Of course, just how well the design changes work in practice is something we will just find out when we become our hands on the Milky way Fold and accept been able to utilize it out in the real earth (although we didn't confront whatever problems the first time we had the Fold in our possession). September can't become here soon enough, and nosotros have our fingers crossed that Samsung exercised all due diligence while working on the Fold's issues, equally the company may not be able to recover from the PR nightmare of a second recall of its foldable smartphone.
