Unlike the galaxy fold where half of the folded screen wouldn't work. When Ipads are released. All components are working just fine. Meanwhile, this foldable phone is yet to be released to the consumer. And is now receiving a lot of criticisms when it comes to device durability.

                Apple releases products that work exceptionally good.

                So say 5 brands release foldable smartphones like this one, which don't work quite right, have bugs, and might even break from normal usage. Then comes Apple which releases a device that avoids all these problems and is built properly.

                Fixing issues that others are unable to fix is still innovation.

                  This my d**k is bigger than your is getting out of control. Did anyone miss the tays when we can buy smartphone and do wherever we want with it. Sold frame, simple back glass easy to replace,flat front glass so we can put screen protection without bubbles, ghosting on the sides and without touch problems like curved screens have because the adheseve is only on the borders.and 99% of the cases where compatible with the screen protecton.

                    Probably or Fold Gate. I guess testing was for 10 minutes. Shame I like the idea. But all said and done it's a plastic screen. So never as good as a nice glass OLED screen.

                      A proper Name for this: FilmGate

                            See the reference to Steve Jobs "You're holding it wrong."??

You just can't break a screen under normal operations. Some people getting expensive mobiles for free would like to play around irresponsibly. If this is few cases then Samsung shall give them NEW replacement. If it is widespread as these guys trying to make out to be then it is a serious problem. But as expected, this is a first generation product, we need not get shocked to hear few anomalies...

                                  That's why I never like to be an early adopter.

                                    Some people still have illusion with the first batch story.
                                    It does not exist if the issue is hardware level.
                                    Because you have to start the whole project.

                                    The Snapdragon 810 and Note 7 battery are example. Nothing can be done.

                                    Many more unots are ready already, phone is going to ship next week.

                                      This fold phone thing is just experimental and not something to be satisfied using it everyday, its bump in your pocket leave no space for valet, better just get large phone and wait till technology is advanced.
