Introduced in 2019, the first Galaxy Fold was a completely new form factor that combined the portability of a smartphone with the extensive productivity of a tablet — challenging conventional perceptions of what a smartphone could be. Driven by the bold vision that foldable phones could reconcile two seemingly conflicting demands—large screens and true portability—Samsung looked to other industries for inspiration, engineering a functional hinge and proving that smartphone displays, too, could fold. It was a synthesis of creativity and productivity that unlocked new possibilities – from seamless multitasking on the go to immersive content creation.

But smartphones are constant companions that we tuck into our pockets, use with one hand and take everywhere we go. So it’s only natural that users desire a foldable device that is as easy to carry as it is to use. To that end,  Samsung engineers and designers are refining each generation of the Galaxy Z series to be thinner, lighter and more functional than the last.

This year, that journey reaches a new milestone. The newest Galaxy Z series is the thinnest, lightest and most advanced foldable yet – meticulously crafted and built to last.

The Ultra experience is ready to unfold.

Today, Samsung Electronics Canada Inc. announced that due to overwhelming demand the revolutionary Galaxy Fold has nearly sold out. 

Since launching in Canada last Friday, there has been high consumer demand for the Galaxy Fold, with select Samsung Experience Stores selling out over launch weekend. Samsung is working hard to get our first foldable device back into consumers’ hands; the Galaxy Fold will be re-stocked on December 19th, available to reserve now, exclusively at Samsung Experience Stores located at: CF Sherway Gardens, CF Toronto Eaton Centre, Metropolis at Metrotown, West Edmonton Mall, and Yorkdale Shopping Centre, Samsung Service Centre Heartland Town Centre and the Montreal Samsung Service Centre

“We are thrilled with the overwhelming response to the Galaxy Fold in Canada,” said Jennifer Safruk, VP Sales and Product Management. “The high consumer demand is indicative of the increased desire for meaningful and innovative technology. We look forward to bringing more Galaxy Fold devices to our stores next week.” 

The Galaxy Fold, available in Cosmos Black, pushes the boundaries of innovation and pioneers a whole new smartphone category. Armed with breakthrough materials and a revised, sophisticated hinging mechanism, the Galaxy Fold is a device built for the future. 

The Galaxy Fold App Continuity feature allows intuitive, seamless app transitions between the phone’s cover and the Infinity Flex main display, collaborating with Google to enable an ecosystem of apps that are simple and easy to use. The Galaxy Fold features Samsung’s largest-ever screen on a Samsung Galaxy phone, with a Multi-Active Window that allows users to easily multi-task across three open apps at once.
