Samsung gets reports of Galaxy Fold screen problems, raising specter of Note 7 fiasco by angelamoon00 juminism
NEW YORK/SEOUL - Samsung Electronics Co Ltd said it has received “a few” reports of damage to the displays of samples of its upcoming foldable smartphone, raising the prospect of a less-then-smooth entry for the splashy $1,980 handset.
Yet ahead of the launch, journalists supplied with review samples reported malfunctions after only a day or two of use. “In-folding is more difficult to make than out-folding, as it adds higher pressure to screens, which people have worried about,” said analyst Park Sung-soon at BNK Securities.Technology journalists took to Twitter on Wednesday to report instances of the screen either cracking or flickering.
A wrapper around the device featured “ATTENTION” in uppercase and warned not remove the layer, showed a tweet from another sample recipient.
