Samsung CEO ‘embarrassed’ by Galaxy Fold launch: Report (Bloomberg)

After being hit by a failed launch of its "revolutionary" Galaxy Fold smartphone, Samsung CEO DJ Koh reportedly said "the device was pushed through before it was ready" and that he is embarrassed by its launch.

The South Korean tech giant is currently extensively testing over 2,000 prototypes of Samsung Galaxy Fold so that no new issues arise.

Koh didn't go into more detail like whether Huawei announcing the Mate X had anything to do with the rushing of the Fold to the market, but we can of course infer that, the report added.
