The_King Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 The era of folding smartphones is off to a rocky start. After debuting a $1,980 folding smartphone that unfurls into a tablet at Mobile World Congress (but not letting anyone actually touch it), Samsung finally let reviewers get their hands on its Galaxy Fold devices this week. It hasn't gone well. Within minutes of each other this afternoon, a slew of tech journalists and gadget reviewers who snagged a Galaxy Fold began reporting flickering or malfunctioning screens on various display panels after less than two days of use. Let's take a look at the greatest hits so far: The Verge's Dieter Bohn found a bulge in his OLED screen distorting the area around the Galaxy Fold's hinge. CNBC's Steve Kovach encountered a flickering, unusable screen on half of his unfolded device. Several users ran into problems after removing a protective layer of film on the devices. CNBC was not among them, but Bloomberg's Mark Gurman and YouTube tech reviewer Marques Brownlee both inadvertently removed the film—which appears deceptively easy to do—and thus rendered their devices functionally useless. Samsung purportedly instructed reviewers not to peel off the film. Yet for an almost $2,000 device to be laid waste by peeling back a thin layer that most consumers would take as a harmless screen protector, the speed at which the folding phones are breaking is laughable. And after the Note 7 fiasco, it's an unwelcome headache for Samsung. Plenty of other journalists have thus far reported no problems with their Galaxy Fold review units; PCMag did not encounter any problems during our hands-on demo. But we'll keep our eyes peeled for any more widespread malfunctions. Flexible displays may well be the next big thing in connected devices, but for now the technology still has a lot of kinks to iron out. https://www.pcmag.com/news/367849/samsungs-galaxy-fold-phones-are-already-breaking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
