Samsung launches Galaxy Fold at Rs 164,999; pre-orders begin from October 4
South
Korean electronics manufacturer Samsung
on Tuesday launched its first foldable device, the Galaxy Fold, in
India, at Rs 1,64,999. With this launch, the company became the first
smartphone brand in the country to foray into the new product
category of bendable screen devices. The device, a foldable
smartphone, comes with 12 GB of RAM and 512 GB of internal storage.
Its pre-orders will start from October 4, and the deliveries for
pre-orders from October 20. The Galaxy Fold pre-orders could be done
on the Samsung online store, Samsung shop, and select retail outlets,
including the Samsung Opera House in Bengaluru.
The
Galaxy Fold, introduced before the Mobile World Congress earlier this
year, was upgraded recently to address the build and longevity issues
reported by early reviewers. The reported issues were mostly related
to the device’s bendable screen and hinge mechanism — key
components of the company’s first foldable device. The upgraded
version showcased by the company at the India launch on Tuesday
seemed a robust device, but we will reserve our final verdicts for
the review of the smartphone.
