SUPER YIKES: something happened to my Galaxy Fold screen and caused a bulge. I don’t know how it happened, and I’m waiting to hear back from Samsung. It’s broken. https://t.co/p1014uB01D pic.twitter.com/3FZJkWtSKr

Samsung says it will stick with its plan to launch the Galaxy Fold on April 26, despite screen failures seen by @markgurman and other journalists https://t.co/6qb7KWpbaL https://t.co/OB57dIkZeZ

PSA: There's a layer that appears to be a screen protector on the Galaxy Fold's display. It's NOT a screen protector. Do NOT remove it.

I got this far peeling it off before the display spazzed and blacked out. Started over with a replacement. pic.twitter.com/ZhEG2Bqulr

This wasn’t on the review units - not that I saw. Several other reviewers didn’t have it either. https://t.co/QG9eoiCF1W

— Mark Gurman (@markgurman) April 18, 2019

Will still be very curious to hear what exactly is causing the issues with these displays. Based on what other writers are showing and saying, it's not *just* the peeling back of the top layer that is causing problems.

I thought I was dumb for messing with it, but turns out @markgurman @backlon and @stevekovach all also have broken Folds too because of how delicate this layer is.

Samsung will regret launching the Galaxy Fold like this. There are significant hardware issues here. For a $2,000 phone, this is clearly not ready for consumers. https://t.co/ZO9b9jgKyF

Me, @stevekovach, and @markgurman have Review Units of the Galaxy Fold with broken screens.https://t.co/AR56AV7RLa

The screen on my Galaxy Fold review unit is completely broken and unusable just two days in. Hard to know if this is widespread or not. pic.twitter.com/G0OHj3DQHw

— Mark Gurman (@markgurman) April 17, 2019

100% did the same exact thing and the inside screen spazzed. There should be a PSA or writing in the box.

Probably not the best sign for your new phone that a proof of life tweet each morning feels appropriate. https://t.co/rnI8rA85JD

— Sean Riley (@RileySeanM) April 18, 2019

There was no explicit communication that I recall at the briefing to pick up the device around not removing the film. There was an email about a day later. Naturally, one would unbox and start using a NON-embargoed device immediately, not wait a day for follow up instructions.

Also this is why we call these kinds of experiences "first looks" and not full reviews when we've had very limited time with new technology. pic.twitter.com/7CcsH03Txy

Samsung responds with a two part statement on Galaxy Fold screen issues. There’s still no clear answer as to what broke on the screens where users didn’t try to peel off that protective layer.https://t.co/B60VkKObtx

— Dieter Bohn (@backlon) April 18, 2019

My colleague opened the Galaxy Fold and it started doing this. So, long answer to your question @WilfredFrost, the hinge doesn’t seem very rugged after all. After two days: pic.twitter.com/Z1F8iwjURa

This is incredible. Three separate specimens of a $2000 product breaks within days of being sent to three different reviewers - in three different ways. No matter what happens with replacement units, nor what the explanation, why would you have confidence in the product? https://t.co/sqv76En0S1

— Walt Mossberg (@waltmossberg) April 17, 2019

Also from Samsung PR: “There are no changes to the plans – we are launching in the U.S. on April 26.”

— Joanna Stern (@JoannaStern) April 18, 2019

The phone comes with this protective layer/film. Samsung says you are not supposed to remove it. I removed it, not knowing you’re not supposed to (consumers won’t know either). It appeared removable in the left corner, so I took it off. I believe this contributed to the problem. pic.twitter.com/fU646D2zpY

— Mark Gurman (@markgurman) April 17, 2019

Samsung also says not to remove the protective layer from the screen. @robotodd never touched the protective layer and the screen still broke. (Other reviewers did remove it) https://t.co/nz48xeqFMJ

— Steve Kovach (@stevekovach) April 18, 2019

There’s a couple comments that are like, “it’s supposed to be unremovable/read the instructions.”

My dudes, taking the film off new electronics is hardwired into our brains. https://t.co/PJEYLAwQMq

— Mom (@truongasm) April 18, 2019

Note that it's "limited" and "early" and a "few." This is very much from the playbook of initial responses to technical issues in consumer products.

— Lauren Goode (@LaurenGoode) April 18, 2019

Samsung declined to comment. (for now)https://t.co/nz48xeqFMJ

갤럭시 폴드가 웹진 더 버지, 리뷰어 MKBHD의 기기가 고장난 데 이어 CNBC 기기까지 고장났습니다. 심지어 문제가 된 보호필름을 제거하지 않았다고 합니다. 이런 제보는 한둘이 아닙니다.

Samsung is investigating the broken Galaxy Folds. It says in some (but not all) cases the problems may be to do with journalists removing a protective layer from the screen. Why is it even removable? Consumers will definitely remove it in the wild. https://t.co/fSoSWmST1O
