Consider the poor Samsung Galaxy Fold: It launched in February alongside the Galaxy S10, sustainability issues were discovered in April, pre-orders were canceled in June, then Samsung spent months redefining it. It is now available worldwide, but it might not be a good thing, as the device still seems prone to failure.
That's according to a TechCrunch reviewer, who found that the screen on his Samsung Galaxy Fold had crashed after just one day of use. Notably, this was not broken in the same way as in the original Fold, suggesting that it is an entirely new issue with version two.
The new Samsung Galaxy Fold used by the examiner created a point in the center of the screen where a large group of pixels broke, which probably became a disadvantage due to the central location.
According to the examiner, this would likely have been caused by pressure on the seam to close the device. While Samsung suggests using a light touch to open or close the flip phone (which is already a silly idea considering the idiosyncratic way most people turn their phones on or off), the commenter says that he did, what the new Galaxy Fold means. broken even when the user was paying attention.
In fact, Samsung has released a long list of ways to avoid breaking the device, from the obvious (don't leave objects on the phone when you close it) to the dubious (don't allow your Galaxy Fold next to credit cards or medical devices) .
The new Samsung Galaxy Fold issue is certainly not as extensive as the initial sustainability issue, and only one author has reported these issues so far, so it may not be as widespread. However, Samsung only had one job during the redesign of the new Galaxy Fold, it was to make sure it did not escape from everyday life, a job that Samsung had apparently failed to do.
The Comparison hasn't had any issues using the foldable phone so far, and you can expect to receive our full Samsung Galaxy Fold review.
