I suppose this will come as no surprise to those of us who have been following news about the Samsung Fold.

 

"Samsung has postponed the release of its folding smartphone, days after several early reviewers said the screens on their devices had broken.

The company said it had delayed the launch of the Galaxy Fold to "fully evaluate the feedback and run further internal tests".

In April, several early reviewers found the display on the Galaxy Fold broke after just a few days.

Samsung has not said when the £1,800 device will go on sale.

A new launch date will be announced in the "coming weeks".

In a statement, Samsung said it suspected the damage experienced by some of the reviewers was caused by "impact on the top and bottom exposed areas of the hinge".

It also said it found "substances" inside one of the review devices that may have affected its performance."

 

It should have been released in 3 days on April 26th in the US and May 2nd in the UK

Oh and I'm whistling because I said this would happen, not because I'm that backwards with reality and will pay £1890 for a fugg ugly phone that folds into a tablet that's not big enough.
Stupid design, stupid idea, stupid to expect anything other than a mediocre release

I not saying nothing about Endgame, except it was sublime in every regard, a masterpiece of story telling and movie experience.
