BENDGATE II FALLOUT: Samsung’s Galaxy Fold Smartphone Release Delayed.

The Galaxy Fold phone—priced at nearly $2,000 and the industry’s first mainstream foldable-screen device—was slated to hit shelves this week in the U.S. But problems with phones being used by reviewers have changed those plans, the people said.

The new rollout is expected in the coming weeks, though a firm date has yet to be determined, they said.

Though the company’s internal investigation remains ongoing, the Galaxy Fold phone’s reported issues stem from problems affecting the handset’s hinge and extra pressure applied to the internal screen, the people said.

Even if they sort out what’s causing the line down the middle of the screen, and fix the screen’s protective layer which practically begs users to peel it off, Samsung will still be left trying to sell an extremely thick, $1,980 folding phone which doesn’t even fold flat.
