Samsung confirmed the release date at its IFA 2019 presentation; Germany, France, and the UK will be the first European countries where consumers will be able to pick up Samsung’s foldable smartphone. Samsung will also launch the Galaxy Fold in Singapore on the same day, but when the device will come to other markets is a mystery for now.

Had a great time playing with the fold at IFA, but came to the conclusion that:
1. It's too delicate for my work life.
2. It's too expensive for my bank life
3. It's a great stepping stone into this new tech era and in years to come will be remembered as such.
