They report their review device was initially flawless, but one day suddenly developed a bump under the screen which felt like a grain of sand. In their case it fortunately did not cause permanent damage to the screen and appeared to disappear spontaneously after an hour, but it still reflects poorly on the ultimate longevity of the device.
We had earlier reported that Samsung has cancelled their launch event in China, and now there are further reports that their events in Singapore and Spain have also been cancelled.
