The foldable phone will retail for $1,980
The South Korean company has made"necessary improvements" and run"rigorous tests" on the phone, it announced Thursday. That included tweaking the design and strengthening the phone's hinge area — the part of the phone that some users said was defective.The foldable phone, which will retail for $1,980, was supposed to hit stores in April but those plans were shelved after the reports from early users about how quickly the device broke.
The early reviews were a setback for Samsung, which is the world's largest smartphone maker. The company has worked to win back customer trust following its Galaxy Note 7 fiasco in 2016. Millions of those devices were recalled because of reports of exploding batteries. Samsung later halted production and sales of that phone.
