Samsung has been late for months to the launch of its foldable smartphone due to technical problems mainly in its flexible screen, but recently succeeded in repairing these problems and thus re-launched again, and was the first market to launch the Galaxy Fold is the Korean market during Last weekend.
However, news from South Korea indicates that
Samsung's stock of the Galaxy Fold runs out a few hours after its launch in the
market. It is about phones sold at Samsung's official outlets as well as those
sold through the website.
Sources indicate that the number of sales of the
Galaxy Fold phone in South Korea remains limited and no more than 30,000
devices during the first phase.
The reviewers uncovered two types of problems: the
first is the failure of the screen after removing the protection layer that the
reviewers thought was an option, and the second is the sliding of small objects
in the hole between the joint and the screen and cause the screen to break from
the inside.
At the IFA event in Berlin today, Samsung recently
returned a modified version of the Galaxy Fold in preparation for its
commercial launch.What did the Korean giant fix in the folding phone?
First, the most obvious change is the protective
layer, which not only covered the screen from the top, but also extended to the
bottom of the screen until it was almost invisible and invisible;
Most other changes relate to the joint which has
become firmer, appearing to have narrowed the slot between the joint and the
back of the screen, and also slowed down the slot when you close the phone.
Samsung added plastic caps at the top and bottom
of the screen at the hinge, preventing small objects from sliding between the
hinge and the screen. It also added a metal layer below the screen, to increase
the thickness after it was touched during use suggests that it is thin and that
it is punctuated by air bubbles.
This is how changes make the Galaxy Fold look like
a different device, although the internal specifications will remain the same
as announced last April; tablet screen 7.3 inches wide dimensions and phone 4.6
inches long dimensions, battery capacity of 4380 mA, and 6 cameras, processor
Snapdragon 855 with 12 GB of RAM and 512 Gigabyte storage.
According to Bloomberg report, Samsung is working
on the second generation of the Galaxy Fold, which will come in a different
design and will be thinner as well as cheaper in price.
Bloomberg said in its report that the second
generation of the Galaxy Fold design will resemble the design of old phones
such as the phone Motorola Razr and also Samsung phones called the Flip.

measuring 6.7 inches as any screen in the same size of regular phones , and
this screen will have a hole for the front camera like the Galaxy Note 10 and there will be two
cameras when you open the phone they will be in the back but the phone is
closed they will point you.
