Samsung Starts Cancelling Galaxy Fold Pre Orders (Unless You Want to Wait)

So Samsung has started contacting those who per-ordered the Fold and advised them their orders will automatically be cancelled unless you advise you are willing to wait, the caveat is they do not know how long the wait will be.

Wonder how the Huawei device is going to fair given it used very similar tech for its screen etc.

    I'm going to wait. I have faith.

    • They could rename it the Qfold in that case. :)

  • Well bend me over!?

    Hmmm.. to keep waiting indefinitely for a device that gets outdated within a year and may not even last the week, or get one that works better and have enough cash left over for a holiday.

    Hmm…

    "You gotta know how to hold 'em - know when to fold 'em!"

    • I always use 3ply x 3squares. I use two fingers to back the square to prevent excessive spot friction that would lead to rub through.

      If it is not too messy, I fold it in half and do a second pass.

      • Oh, is the Galaxy Fold waterproof as well? Almost impressive!

        • Well, not sure if it is waterproof but it works just as well as before so it must be.

      sounds delicious

  • Samsung need to redevelop the fold mechanism

    Huawei one's folds out though. That may be the main difference. But with that, its more easier to drop and break the screen. They really need to trial these devices rigorously before releasing.. instead of rushing just to get ahead of the market

      their interpretation of 'trials' is using a machine to repeatedly fold it in a precise, pre-designed, mechanical way lmao. gronks.

  • First generation product is a no go for me.

  • Corning gonna release foldable glass
