After poring over iFixit’s Galaxy Fold teardown and knowing two other units developed under-screen bulges, I feel more confident saying that Samsung didn’t do enough to prevent debris from getting in the multiple large gaps on the hinge. https://t.co/yz2vNaeJjB pic.twitter.com/xP3w9XNRi9

Samsung's Galaxy Fold has v.little protection against debris getting under the display. Samsung prioritized its hinge working well. Maybe Samsung should have talked to the Surface hinge people, they know how to build the best hinges in the business https://t.co/82hMoy8NFb pic.twitter.com/q0EQrZHs5L

iFixit managed to get their hands on the exceptionally rare Galaxy Fold to teardown. It’s really interesting stuff, including the obvious culprit causing some of the failures. https://t.co/74NB7xCcmv

Some thoughts on the Galaxy Fold now that we’ve taken it apart. Screen aside, it’s a very robust device. https://t.co/05LPTnzrhR pic.twitter.com/FkTYh3tVly

Working with flexible displays is like working with fabric. The screen floats on a rigid metal frame. It’s very thin (it has to be, in order to fold) and fragile. pic.twitter.com/3pGjqs0pHi

Two sliding hinges, a central geared hinge, and four spring-loaded clasps put the fold in the Galaxy Fold. https://t.co/KpKYSS8Rt6 pic.twitter.com/WWMC5bH9ac

But the fatal flaw is the lack of ingress protection at the hinge. We killed ours by poking a thin spudger in the gap under the screen here pic.twitter.com/jvbbfcXhFH

A month's delay is not going to fix this. Production models are in boxes. Things were ready to ship.
This is going to require re-engineering, and that's gonna take longer than a month.
This thing might be DOA, period.https://t.co/HHezB3ZFjE
