More bad news befell the beleaguered Galaxy Fold on Sunday — Samsung will postpone the launch events for its foldable phone in Hong Kong and Shanghai, Engadget’s Richard Lai tweeted. They were originally scheduled for April 23 and 24, respectively.
The delay follows three separate problems with the Galaxy Fold’s screen that rendered early production review units unusable. The incidents have caused a kerfuffle among tech-lovers on the internet, casting doubt on the durability of Samsung’s $2,000 foldable phone and on the concept of bendable devices in general.
CNET’s Galaxy Fold review unit has remained intact, and we’ve been in contact with Samsung about the screen issues. Samsung did not immediately respond to a request for comment about the supposed delay in launching the phone.
The company has reportedly said, however, that the delay was caused by problems with the venue, according to SamMobile, citing «someone claiming to be familiar with the matter.» Frequent mobile tipster Ice Universe also corroborated the delay of «two events,» presumably the launch events, and also suggested that shipments of the phone itself would be delayed.
If it happens, that launch delay could possibly exclude the US. A Samsung spokesperson said last week that the US April 26 launch date is still on, according to a tweet from The Wall Street Journal.
