Samsung on Monday finally announced the official Galaxy Fold release date in the United States, which is a crucial first step to potentially putting this horribly embarrassing saga behind us. The phone will be made available both from AT&T and unlocked from Samsung’s own stores beginning this Friday, September 27th. That places the US release date exactly five months and one day after the company’s first foldable phone was supposed to be released.

Galaxy Fold review units began breaking mere hours after being delivered to early reviewers because of several preposterous design flaws that should have been caught by Samsung’s quality control measures long before the phone’s design was finalized. Instead, the company tried to rush the phone’s release so that it could claim to be the first company to launch a smartphone with a foldable display. As is always the case with first-generation Samsung smartphones, the Galaxy Fold ended up being a total mess. Sorry, Samsung fans, but I told you so.
