Samsung introduced the Galaxy Fold smartphone on February 20, as part of the Galaxy S10 Unpacked event. The phone is expected to hit the stores on April 26, going for $1,980. However, Samsung is planning a special Galaxy Fold media event, as revealed by Kate Beaumont, director of product, services, and commercial strategy at Samsung UK.

Samsung considers the Galaxy Fold to be a “super premium device”. The price tag testifies to that, and the company is aware that there will be a limited supply. Since it is regarded as a luxury product, Samsung also wants the phone to be accompanied by a concierge-like service.

We’ll have less supply than we would of the S10 at launch, and also how it goes to market is really important to us. This is a super premium device, and we want to make sure it has a concierge-like service and experience, so it’s not going to be on display in all stores. You’re not going to see it on the stands, we want to make sure it’s a very personal experience. There will be quite intensive aftercare that goes with it as well. — Kate Beaumont

All this means that getting a Galaxy Fold will not be as easy as walking into a store an grabbing it. The device will probably be available in select locations, but Samsung didn’t comment on its exact retail plans yet.
