Skärmen för en handfull recensionsexemplar av Samsung Galaxy Fold har havererat i USA. I flera av fallen kan skärmproblemen bero på att recensenter dragit bort ett övre lager plast, vilket ser ut som ett vanligt skärmskydd men i själva verket är del av displaystrukturen.

Andra exemplar har dock gått sönder till synes utan någon yttre påverkan. Samsung skriver att enheterna som fallerat kommer att granskas grundligt för att reda ut vad det beror på. Lanseringen fortskrider som planerat med butikstillgänglighet 26 april i USA.

A limited number of early Galaxy Fold samples were provided to media for review. We have received a few reports regarding the main display on the samples provided. We will thoroughly inspect these units in person to determine the cause of the matter.

Separately, a few reviewers reported having removed the top layer of the display causing damage to the screen. The main display on the Galaxy Fold features a top protective layer, which is part of the display structure designed to protect the screen from unintended scratches. Removing the protective layer or adding adhesives to the main display may cause damage. We will ensure this information is clearly delivered to our customers.

PSA: There's a layer that appears to be a screen protector on the Galaxy Fold's display. It's NOT a screen protector. Do NOT remove it.

I got this far peeling it off before the display spazzed and blacked out. Started over with a replacement. pic.twitter.com/ZhEG2Bqulr

The screen on my Galaxy Fold review unit is completely broken and unusable just two days in. Hard to know if this is widespread or not. pic.twitter.com/G0OHj3DQHw
