Oh, no!

Samsung has sent a number of review units out for their fantastical folding phone, the Galaxy Fold. And sadly, it seems a number of these units are failing for no particular reason. Which is, uh, not good, considering the phone is going to retail for around $2000 after tax.

But you don’t have to take my word for it.

It gave me a taste of the future. Then, two days into testing, it completely broke, making clear that this is not a product ready for today’s phone buyers.

During my second day of testing, the screen began flickering and would turn off and on at a rapid pace. It became completely unusable and at times wouldn’t turn on at all.

Samsung had said not to remove a thin layer that sits on top of the screen. Other reviewers accidentally removed this layer and ran into similar issues that I saw. But I never removed the protective film or used the device outside any way a normal user might.
