Shortly after journalists reportedincidents with the Galaxy Fold smartphone displays, the manufacturer made an official statement regarding these cases. It says that Samsung has provided the first samples of new items to the media for information. Representatives of the company have already received reports about problems with their screens. Further, they promise to carefully examine each copy to establish the causes of the problem.

It also says that several journalistsreported the removal from the screen of the upper layer that damaged the display. Note that the main screen of the model has a protective top layer, which is its integral element and protects it from negative influences from the outside. If you remove this layer or apply any other coating on the main screen, the display may be damaged. The manufacturer promised to figure out how to convey this information to each buyer.

The phone comes with a 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. I believe this contributed to the problem. pic.twitter.com/fU646D2zpY

It is worth noting that the mandatory protective filmonly Brownley and Gourmet frustrated. Bon and Kovac did not touch the protective layer. So this comment does not waver all doubts about the reliability of these devices. Especially when you consider their incredible cost. After all, only in the US Galaxy Fold from Samsung will cost 1,980 dollars.

But it’s too early to talk about serious problems. After all, we are talking about single malfunctions of the first copies. A moderate reject rate in trial lots is common. It is worth the wait and see how it goes on.

And so the other participants responded to the novelty.testing new items. Among the highlights in the video are: several popular YouTube bloggers, including techno-blogger Louis from UnboxTherapy, football player Mario Götze, actor from the TV series “Very Strange Things” Millie Bobby Brown and DJ Steve Aoki ( Steve Aoki).
