AT&T has sent out notices to anyone who pre-ordered the $1,980 Galaxy Fold, informing them that their foldable phone order has been cancelled. Customers who pre-ordered the device will be able to place their orders again once Samsung sets a new launch date.
Samsung was supposed to start shipping the Fold in late April until the early access devices distributed to reviewers showed serious issues. Some of them stemmed from reviewers peeling off a layer that’s supposed to protect the screen, while other were due to dirt lodging into the gaps in its hinge. iFixit also called the device “alarmingly fragile.”
Samsung delayed the device’s roll out in an effort to fix its problems before units ship out and promised a new launch date in May. As of June 10th, though, the company still doesn’t know when the device will come out. A spokesperson only said that Samsung will reveal a new launch date over “the coming weeks,” corroborating previous reports that the Fold won’t be hitting shelves this month.
Here’s a copy of the email:
