Samsung is blaming the Fold delay on problems with the phone’s hinge.

Is it possible dust, water and other detritus can get in through there?

Hard to give consumers a delicate phone after years of sealed-up, waterproof devices.

Looks like Samsung will be tweaking the design of the Galaxy Fold. https://t.co/SjeOtHUYnt pic.twitter.com/GXtnJjuFG0

? You’ve got to now when to hold em. Know when to fold em... ? https://t.co/NPCXtzjewo

Do they mean the release date will be in the coming weeks, or the announcement of the release date? Either way, this is probably at least a 6 month delay, easy. https://t.co/xIrB8A9z8b

I’ve added a statement to the Galaxy Fold review noting that the release has been delayed indefinitely, but am going to otherwise leave it up as it is

Wild situation. Samsung told me 12 hours before I published the review it didn’t plan to delay releasehttps://t.co/70HRTpXEc3 pic.twitter.com/eFAzlYHFFx

It seems like the headline on my Fold non-review last week was pretty dead on. We were in fact beta testing: https://t.co/Xum8GHj9Jw pic.twitter.com/zuKgXDn8kl

Samsung Galaxy Fold launch events in Hong Kong and Shanghai have been postponed. They were originally scheduled for this Tuesday and Wednesday, respectively.

You've got to know when to hold 'em
Know when to fold 'em
Know when to walk away
And know when to run https://t.co/578DMmIIyV

The logical next step here is for Samsung to accidentally make the display so strong that it can no longer be folded, causing an additional delay https://t.co/t9uholIJ1Q

Samsung says impacts around the hinge and "substances" inside the phone affected screen performance. @robotodd never dropped the phone or exposed it to substances that could get inside https://t.co/zIwuxZ7Unt

— Steve Kovach (@stevekovach) April 22, 2019

Also strange that Samsung would release a phone that can't even survive one drop https://t.co/zIwuxZ7Unt

Good breakdown of the Samsung Fold's alleged screen issues. It's a bit more complicated than just failing, but not all of it is user error either. https://t.co/tNvSVu2FoQ

It’s official: Samsung delays the Galaxy Fold, says will announce new date in the coming weeks.

Samsung reportedly delaying the launch of the Galaxy Fold until at least next month. Big blow for Samsung, and potentially for the nascent foldable phone market @usatodaytech https://t.co/4HLH3ZVeXo

Tecno and IPhone were the most purchased phones in Uganda last year. See your Samsung with their faulty innovations ? https://t.co/x9R5lWIzMk

Terrific read from @andrewmartonik @androidcentral about the two (2) different issues with the #GalaxyFold screen and what, if anything, can be done about them.https://t.co/2Jfp56XPVG

Not just that. Dieter’s Fold’s display and some others’ broke without them doing anything out of the ordinary.https://t.co/82uo0pspyw

Excellent explainer from @andrewmartonik. … But I can’t help but think it should be read starting from the end, and working your way backward. https://t.co/NAk71G75iR

Here's @andrewmartonik's level-headed explainer on what's happening with the Galaxy Fold.

There's a lot we don't know, and Samsung hasn't commented just yet, but we're definitely not at the "recall everything" stage yet.https://t.co/nwcWVa4VgX
