While some reviewers had peeled off a part of the folding display, thinking it was a removable protective coat, others had more severe problems, like a protruding hinge, or broken screen.<\/p>\n<p>On <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/samsungs-galaxy-fold-smartphone-release-delayed-11555941705\">Monday morning<\/a>, the <em>Wall Street Journal<\/em>, citing sources familiar with the matter, reported that the US rollout of the foldable smartphone was postponed to some future date, but still in the &#8220;coming weeks.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are conducting a thorough inspection into the issues reported by some of the reviewers of early Galaxy Fold samples,&#8221; said a Samsung spokeswoman, in regards to the earlier failures. &#8220;We will share the findings as soon as we have them.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Publicly, Samsung has cancelled rollout events in Hong Kong, and Shanghai.<\/p>\n<p>An internal investigation is currently underway but report sources claim the initial issues stem from the way the device&#8217;s hinge operates, applying extra pressure to the internal screen when used. While some reviewers have publicly shown their devices failing because of the hinge, with other having problems relating to a flickering screen, not all reviewing outlets reported issues with the device. <\/p>\n<p>The reports of found faults were made worse by a connected issue, where reviewers thought the display had a protective cover applied, similar to ones applied to inflexible displays to protect the glass. In the case of the Galaxy Fold, what was believed to be a covering layer turned out to be the top layer of the display, with reviewers unwittingly ruining the display when attempting to take it off the screen. <\/p>\n<p>Samsung plans to warn consumers not to remove the display&#8217;s top layer. <\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p><\/div>\n<p><script>\n\t\t\t!function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n\t\t\t{if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n\t\t\tn.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n\t\t\tif(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n\t\t\tn.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n\t\t\tt.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n\t\t\ts.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window,document,'script',\n\t\t\t'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n\t\t\tfbq('init', '303691330110002');\n\t\t\tfbq('track', 'PageView');\n\t\t\t<\/script><script>(function(d, s, id) {\n\t\t\t\t\t\t  var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];\n\t\t\t\t\t\t  if (d.getElementById(id)) return;\n\t\t\t\t\t\t  js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;\n\t\t\t\t\t\t  js.src = \"http:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/all.js#xfbml=1\";\n\t\t\t\t\t\t  fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);\n\t\t\t\t\t\t}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));<\/script><script async type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/all.js#xfbml=1\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/appleinsider.com\/articles\/19\/04\/22\/samsung-putting-off-launch-of-galaxy-fold-after-widely-publicized-screen-failures\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] \u00a0 By Mike Wuerthele Monday, April 22, 2019, 07:59 am PT (10:59 am ET) After cancelling launch events in China, Samsung has reportedly delayed the U.S. Galaxy Fold smartphone debut for a few weeks, in response to multiple failures of units in reviewers&#8217; hands.
