Several Samsung Galaxy Fold review units have display issues surfacing within the first 48 hours.
The Verge, Bloomberg, CNBC and YouTuber MKBHD shared issues of their Galaxy Fold review units. Dieter Bohn from The Verge noticed a small bulge on the crease of the display which distorted the screen slightly. The bulge eventually broke the screen in just two days. While he has received a replacement unit from Samsung, he has yet to receive an official statement or explanation from the company.
Mark Gurman from Bloomberg shared on Twitter that the display of the Galaxy Fold review unit is "completely broken and unusable just two days in". Apparently, he removed a protective film that is pasted over the display by Samsung. This protective film is not supposed to be removed, which he believed to have contributed to the display issue.
Popular YouTuber @MKBHD encounterd the same issue; he almost fully removed the protective film on his review unit before "the display spazzed and blacked out".
It remains to be seen whether these display issues are isolated. At time of publication, Samsung has yet to comment on the matter. Will these display issues affect the retail availability of the Galaxy Fold?
