Talk about innovation and bringing in new features nowadays, and you will find Samsung on that list for sure. The company is always trying to stay ahead of every other OEM in terms of new technology and innovation.

The by-product of Samsung’s vision of the future is the Galaxy Fold smartphone. It was one of the first foldable devices that actually went on sale for the public.

But soon after its launch, it fell prey to the “broken-screen” fiasco which was reported by many users as well as tech-reviewers. This made the company call back all the ordered Galaxy Fold devices back.

The Galaxy Fold was under strict supervision and the company was doing it all for fixing the device. And eventually, the Galaxy Fold resurfaced the smartphone world after being tweaked to avoid the screen issue.

Now it has been over a couple of months since the device is now available for public and since then, no issues have crept up surrounding the device. Moreover, Samsung has put in the Galaxy Fold under the “Current Models for Monthly Security Updates” category.
