Users who pre-ordered the Samsung Galaxy Fold foldable smartphone are in for a disappointment: retailer Best Buy is reportedly canceling all orders for the novelty due to Samsung's failure to provide a new release date.
In an email sent out to customers, Best Buy noted that "there are many obstacles and the prospect of many unforeseen failures when implementing revolutionary technologies and designs." “These roadblocks have caused Samsung to delay the release of the Galaxy Fold and have yet to announce a new release date. In the interest of our customers and in our desire to provide the best possible service, Best Buy has decided to cancel all current pre-orders for the Samsung Galaxy Fold," the retailer said.
Best Buy's announcement comes a month after Samsung , which is postponing the release of the Galaxy Fold in order to fix defects found in samples of the device provided to experts for writing reviews. The company promised to announce a new release date for the smartphone within a few weeks, but this did not happen.
