Early Signers to Get First Shot at Reserving Samsung Folding Phone, Says Company

Beginning Friday, consumers who previously registered on Samsung.com to receive more information about the Galaxy Fold smartphone (see 1902200065) will be at the head of the line for an invitation to reserve the next-generation phone that’s due April 26 in select AT&T, T-Mobile, Best Buy and Samsung Experience Stores. Supplies will be limited, Samsung said Thursday. It describes the Fold as having a “tablet-like experience when you want it,” and being a smartphone “when you need it.” One of the wow factors of the hybrid device is the ability for content to move from the cover display of the folding device to the larger 7.3-inch tablet screen when the device opens. Samsung also pushed its Galaxy S10 5G, due next month. Preorders for the 5G handset will begin "soon," it said.
