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 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

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 is coming to pick up our broken Galaxy Fold review unit. But before they do, I just want to reiterate that we never removed the special film from our review unit. It is fully intact, as these images show. pic.twitter.com/zoeGELWBiN

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

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

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

Also, not a single reviewer Note7 had a ~thermal incident~. And only a tiny, tiny number of consumer devices overall were defective.

The Fold is at least twice as complicated, and probably requires specialized production involving a lot of humans - humans who can make mistakes.
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.
— Marques Brownlee (@MKBHD) April 17, 2019
I got this far peeling it off before the display spazzed and blacked out. Started over with a replacement. pic.twitter.com/ZhEG2Bqulr
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

Here it is, my Galaxy Fold review. Even if you assume the broken screen issues will be resolved, there are still many issues.

Foldable phones are really interesting but I'm particularly struck by @backlon pointing out how we treat those using phones vs. tablets in work contexts.

Foldable phones could be the next (techno-)cultural shift - that's really cool? https://t.co/7zqAvgPLAz via @Verge
This wasn’t on the review units - not that I saw. Several other reviewers didn’t have it either. https://t.co/QG9eoiCF1W

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

“Before I saw this bulge [in the screen - which soon broke], my impression was that this phone [Samsung Galaxy Fold] was much more durable than I expected.”

Interesting to make a judgement on durability after two whole days. https://t.co/eKVAZ1owRt

A small tablet that folds in half comes with a huge bunch of trade-offs, but if you ignore all those, the screen stops breaking and you want to spend $2000, it’s an android tablet. https://t.co/krtjD6rPN9

The most interesting part of @backlon's Samsung Galaxy Fold review gets buried under all the (completely necessary) caveats about the display/durability: how the design forces intentionality. https://t.co/ShnivqZzL5

This review from @backlon may be the best tech review I have ever read. It's almost poetic and philosophical while being full of useful honesty.https://t.co/gogQSqNgyE
