Why Samsung Galaxy Fold release was canceled?

As for the reasons for the delay, we think that the recent incident has a direct bearing on it.

Last week, several journalists and bloggers (Verge & Bloomberg and CNBC TV channel reviewers, as well as the famous techno-bloggers Marquez Brownlee and Mark Gourman) have reported about the problem with the ultra-modern flexible Dynamic AMOLED screen, that have failed literally in 2-3 days of use.

Several reviewers admitted that they had removed the upper protective layer, which had caused the damage. This top layer is part of the display structure so it cannot be removed.

But the other users claimed that the smartphone had stopped working even without removing the protective layer.

A few hours after these messages were published, Samsung made an official statement in which the company’s representatives have promised to carefully examine the defective smartphones and reported, that it is impossible to remove the protective layer, which is a structural part of the smartphone’s display.

Samsung representatives also said that they are not going to postpone the start of sales of Galaxy Fold in the United States, that was scheduled for April 26. We remind you that the price of Samsung Galaxy Fold is $1980 for the US market.

The initial results of checking for problems with displays showed that they could be associated with exposure to open loop areas. There was also a case when there were substances that affect the display inside the device.

We will take measures to enhance screen protection. We will also improve the recommendations of the owner’s manual, so that our customers can get the best of the Galaxy Fold features, – said the Samsung press service.
