Samsung, as we know, announced its first foldable smartphone at CES 2019. Along with that, Huawei also announced its first foldable 5G phone which is the Mate X. However, Samsung became the first company to announce a launch date for its Galaxy Fold. For this, Samsung sent its Galaxy Fold to reviewers in the US for getting early impressions and feedback. However, this turned out to be troublesome for Samsung as the devices started to break.

Some reviewers reported that their Galaxy Fold screens started to flicker and malfunction when they removed a protective layer on the top.

But it must also be said that others noted that they had not removed that protective layer. Even then, their Galaxy Fold units started to break. This made Samsung investigate into the matter.
