Foldable smartphones have brought a lot of confusion to the mobile market. Most units of Samsung Galaxy Fold quickly found their buyers, and interest in foldable phones produced by other companies is not less. The first units of Samsung Galaxy Fold were planned to be delivered to buyers as soon as 24tf of April, but mentioned date will be delayed. This information has been confirmed by Samsung itself, and the main reason for this decision is one of the biggest scandals related to the operation of Samsung's phones since problems with exploding of Samsung Galaxy Note 7.
When reviewers received their copies of Galaxy Fold for tests, they did what most users do after buying the phone - they removed the protective film from screen which should protect display during transport. It turns out, that this film is not designed mainly for protection, because it's a part of the entire mechanism responsible for the correct operation of the phone and after its unsealing foldable phone stops working. Importantly, Samsung forgot about placing a warning message on the box or in the manual that film is also a part of whole screen. Some sources also published reports about problems with hinges that cause damage to the display. Samsung quickly responded to reports by delaying the launch of its new phone to deal with the problems registered by users before the official release of Galaxy Fold.
