Reviewers report Galaxy Fold display issues within first 48 hours of use

Samsung handed out review units of its novel $2,000 folding smartphone to journalists this week, too it doesn’t seem to endure going rattling well. Multiple reviewers striking social media on Midweek to tell that their Milky Way Fold handsets are suffering from a debilitating display number later only a few days of use.

From The Verge’s Dieter Bohn:

Look closely at the painting demo above, too you lot tin encounter a pocket-sized bulge correct on the crease of my Milky Way Fold review unit. It’s only plenty to slightly distort the screen, too I tin experience it nether my finger. There’s something pressing upwardly against the covert at the hinge, correct in that location inwards the crease. My best approximate is that it’s a slice of debris, something harder than lint for sure. It’s possible that it’s something else, though, similar the hinge itself on a defective unit of measurement pressing upwardly on the screen. 

It’s a piteous affair to abide by only 2 days later receiving my review unit. More piteous is that the bulge eventually pressed sharply plenty into the covert to intermission it. You tin encounter the telltale lines of a broken OLED converging on the spot where the bulge is.

And YouTube standout MKBHD:

PSA: There's a layer that appears to endure a covert protector on the Milky Way Fold's display. It's NOT a covert protector. Do NOT take it.

Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman too CNBC’s Steve Kovach are reporting similar issues. And land the higher upwardly MKBHD tweet suggests taking off the Fold’s “screen protector” may endure a possible culprit for the issues, both Gurman too Kovach tell they didn’t take the protective layer too their displays are nonetheless failing.

After several months of rumors, leaks too teasers, Samsung unveiled the Milky Way Fold inwards February. It began taking pre-orders before this month, which chop-chop sold out, too the handset is slated to officially launch on Apr 26.
