Samsung Galaxy Fold pre-registrations are now live in the US

We reported last week that Samsung Galaxy Fold pre-registrations opened in China and that the unique smartphone might be launched on the market earlier than expected. To support those reports comes another piece of news that informs us the device is now up for pre-registration in the United States.

Although you can't pre-order one yet, Samsung displays the price of the Galaxy Fold, which remains unchanged: $1,980. According to Samsung US, the smartphone will be available for purchase from at least two carriers, AT&T and T-Mobile, in three colors: Gold Hinge, Dark Silver Hinge, and Black Hinge.

Since the Korean media claims the Galaxy Fold will be launched on the market on September 6, at least in South Korea, we expect pre-orders for the smartphone to open in just a few days. Of course, Samsung may decide to delay the launch of the Galaxy Fold in the US, although it doesn't look like the company will wait until September 27, as previously stated.

Samsung made important changes to the Galaxy Fold after the first batch of phones failed to meet the required standards. Additional reinforcements have been implemented to better protect the device from external particles. Also, the top and bottom of the hinge area have been strengthened, while the top protective layer of the Infinity Flex Display has been extended beyond the bezel.
