Fold is fixed, September release

[gendo667]

Does anyone know how much the Galaxy fold will be when it comes out?

All of it.

But seriously, no official price has been announced, but leaks suggest $1,980.

To damn much.

$1980 is last I heard

No that's not leaks, that was the official price it was being sold for

Right! I actually forgot they tried to release it. I looked up the rumored price.

2k for a beta phone that they had to take back to the drawing board to *HOPEFULLY* Fix?

Yeah no thanks.

I’ll try one and return it if it sucks.

Make sure there's no restocking charge

Hopefully it proves to suck before the 14 days is up.

I'm as excited as ever about getting it! I will have insurance, a backup phone and will know within days if I need to return it. Very little risk to try something so innovative. New products have to start somewhere. I hope there are enough people left on here who are positive and excited so I have others to share questions and discoveries with!
Can't wait,

Insurance only replaces the phone, not refund it, with high deductibles. So, could just be paying deductibles to replace one piece of junk for another.

So in a short few months they managed to resolve every problem seen with first reiteration. Not buying that for one second. Maybe I'll be eating crow but either way it's definitely not for me yet will be interesting to see what the final outcome is after much use.

They only mitigated the temptation to peel the screen and partially mitigated debris entry at the hinge. Nothing changes that it's a soft plastic screen. If you baby it and minimize exposure to certain elements it should last till the next iteration.

Babying it might be putting it lightly. I envision the likes of OtterBox Defender Series and LifeProof when thinking of the Fold's display, personally not a pretty sight after they've seen some regular use... Definitely won't be good for resale value if that happens.

It'll be interesting to see how fast the price drops after release on this one.

I’m getting excited again as well. Would love a foldable tablet I can put in my pocket

Lol. Well, I guess there's two of us anyway!

Make sure there's no restocking charge

Best Buy does have a restocking fee, it's either $30 or $35. When I purchased my S9 phone at Best Buy earlier this year, they informed me of the restocking fee.

 

[Elly44]

Yeah! Welcome! 3 of us now!

To much wrong with any device with a plastic screen that folds. Watched Zack @JerryRig scratch that other foldable with his fingernail. Of course that folded with the screen on the outside but if anyone thinks for one sec that this thing won’t be prone to almost immediate scratching(and creasing)is kidding themselves. This experience all for the low, low price of $2000. Very hard pass from me on this 1st gen device.
You 3 that are considering I will be interested to hear your reviews. Enjoy!

Kind of surprised they didn’t mention it at the note event. Not even a preorder date.

Doubt they wanted to bring up their flops announcing a new phone. Out if sight, out of mind
