If you’ve been the futuristic Samsung Galaxy Fold, here’s some good news for you – its pre-orders go live in India from 11 October. But beware, this phone which literally unfolds, comes at a price of ₹1,64,999 apiece.

Samsung said that it has sold first 1,600 units on a pre-order earlier, suggesting that the demand for the smartphone is higher than estimates.

After announcing it in February this year, the Korean major had to recall the handset due to critical issues with the foldable display and hinge. And, it was re-launched earlier this month, with improved construction and fixes for all the touchscreen issues.
