According to a report from Reuters, the Samsung Galaxy Fold, whose launch was delayed a few months ago, will go sale on Friday, two days from now, or the 6th of September to be precise. Reuters reports the Galaxy Fold will go on sale on Friday in South Korea, for a price hovering around $1,980. Samsung first unveiled the foldable smartphone in February, and scheduled a release on the 26th of April. But that was later delayed amid reports of breakdowns during tests, with U.S. retailer Best Buy [and Samsung itself] having cancelled all pre-orders for the foldable phone shortly after.

In July, Samsung announced it would be ready to sell the Galaxy Fold in September after effecting several changes, including toughening hinges, which was a main focus of complaint by early reviewers. The delay of the Galaxy Fold effected sales that would have led to an ample rise in revenue during a slow summer season. Currently, Samsung has re-opened pre-orders for the Galaxy Fold in the U.S. and U.K.

Even as the Galaxy Fold was plagued with delays, Samsung didn’t back down from delivering more gadgets, having debuted the Galaxy Note 10, Galaxy Book S, a new Galaxy Watch, the Galaxy Tab S6, the Galaxy A80, two new laptops, two mid-range phones and a gaming monitor in a time-frame beginning from the unveiling of the Galaxy Fold till now.

Update: Samsung has confirmed the launch of the Galaxy Fold. It’s available in South Korea, with several countries to follow.
