The Samsung Galaxy Fold hasn’t even made it into consumers’ hands yet and there are already several reports about its display having problems. Some review units have experienced broken screens.
Next week, Samsung’s Galaxy Fold will become the first phone with a foldable display to arrive into consumers’ homes. For years, companies have teased foldable displays, so the technology finally arriving to market is a very big deal. Since this is a first-generation device, there are plenty of limitations and there are also bound to be issues. Apparently, one of the first major problems has manifested itself prior to the retail release, and it comes as no surprise that it has to do with the device’s display.
While it is uncertain at this point how many units are out in the wild and how many are affected, various reviewers online have started reporting that their units are suffering from various problems when it comes to the foldable display. There are currently three problems, one which is caused by removing the protective layer on the screen, the other is caused by potentially some debris getting underneath the display, and the last one is display flicker without any rhyme or reason.
Some phone manufacturers ship their devices with screen protectors, which is convenient if you like having that kind of protection.
