technology news: Samsung Galaxy Fold ready for re-launch this September

After postponing the Galaxy Fold's release due to hardware issues, Samsung announced today it will re-launch the Galaxy Fold in September.

According to the company, it made several improvements to the Galaxy Fold's hardware. These improvements include extending the top protective layer of the display to beyond the bezel, additional reinforcements to better protect the phone from dust and other particles, and protection caps for the top and bottom hinge area.

Samsung also added additional metal layers underneath the display for reinforcement and reduced the space between the hinge and body of the Galaxy Fold.

Here's hoping the improvements fix the Galaxy Fold's hardware issues. According to several reviewers, issues included screen flickering and a bump appearing under the display. There was also a protective film layer that was mistaken for a screen protector. Instead, the layer is an integral part of the Galaxy Fold design.

As for when we'll see the Galaxy Fold again, Samsung said it'll be available starting September "in select markets." The company will share more details as we get closer to launch.

This is a developing story.
