Samsung canceling Galaxy Fold pre-orders, those affected get $250 store credit

Although the Galaxy Fold is finally set to be released in the coming weeks, the company is placing one last roadblock for those that pre-ordered the phone. Customers who have held onto their spot in the queue since orders were first opened are now losing their place in line, as some pre-orders are now being canceled. Those affected are getting a $250 credit for anything at Samsung's online storefront.

Initial reports didn't appear to indicate that all pre-orders were affected, but speaking to a Samsung representative, we were informed that all pre-orders placed through Samsung's website are being canceled. Some customers claim that Samsung support representatives have told them the phone will be exclusively sold via retail stores as part of the new "Galaxy Fold Premier Service," which sounds like it might be a way to hand-hold purchasers through learning how to not break the phone. In-store sales might also preclude using that $250 online credit on the Galaxy Fold.
