Problems Reported By Reviewers of Samsung’s New Foldable Phone
It is pretty surprising that Samsung’s new foldable phone would have this many problems right before its release:
A number of U.S.-based tech reporters reviewing Samsung Electronics’ potentially game-changing mobile device, the Galaxy Fold, reported faults after just a few days of use.

Reporters from CNBC, Bloomberg and The Verge have each tweeted pictures and videos showing faults with the folding screen of the Galaxy Fold devices they were given this week to review ahead of the phone’s U.S. release on April 26.
Steve Kovach, tech editor for CNBC, tweeted in the early hours of Thursday morning, Korea time, a video of his Galaxy Fold that showed the left hand of the screen flickering and flashing white with a bold black line splitting the screen in two, presumably along the point where the screen folds when it is closed. The video was captioned “After one day of use…”
The Galaxy Fold is designed to open like a book to become a 7.3-inch display tablet. The cover of the phone — the front when it is folded — is a 4.6-inch screen that works like a conventional smartphone. In all three reported cases, it is this internal folding screen that was defective.

Shocking that internet people would mislead others.
I’m not biting into where he blames the lack of a warning or super warning. You can clearly tell the difference between peel-a-way OOB layer and one that you’re not supposed to mess with with but lightly testing at a corner with your nail, you should need to exert little to no effort to break contact. If you has to dig into it, it’s not supposed to be removed.
Also RTFM.
How many of those reporting failures reported failures with ANY Apple products?
Jist curious.
Just because you can doesn’t mean you should.
Folding screens are just another classic example of that idiom.
