However both companies failed to deliver in the commercial market. After months of wait and anticipation, Huawei Mate X and Samsung Galaxy Fold will finally launch in September. Samsung Galaxy Fold was scheduled to release in April but its review units turned out defective with the display breaking easily. Samsung recalled all the units and said it would fix the hardware issues. The South Korean giant recently announced it is ready to launch Galaxy Fold in September. Samsung even shared details on what improvements the Galaxy Fold will come with. Samsung Galaxy Fold Also read click here. Samsung Galaxy Fold's protective layer on the display now extends beyond the bezel. Samsung did so to make it more evident that the protective layer shouldn't be removed. Many reviewers ended up removing the protective layer which Samsung says caused screens to break. However some Galaxy Fold units cracked even with the layer on. Samsung has added protection caps on the top and bottom hinge of the Galaxy Fold. The smartphone's display has additional metal layers underneath it to make the display stronger. The new Galaxy Fold will also have less space between the hinge and body of the phone. Samsung said it has been working on the software as well with optimizations for more apps and services.
