We were in fact beta testing: https://on.wsj.com/2ItDXk7 pic.twitter.com/zuKgXDn8kl Geoffrey A. Fowler / @geoffreyfowler : Here's a macro-lens shot of the film that covers the Fold's interior screen but doesn't quite line up with the edge. So far, my review Fold hasn't had a catastrophic failure — and it has been living in my linty pockets and opened/closed hundreds of times. pic.twitter.com/iST21ZczCQ Ron Amadeo / @ronamadeo : Samsung makes the fold delay official. http://news.samsung.com/... Crazy to be tweaking the design this late in development. Pretty clear it was a rush job. Steve Kovach / @stevekovach : Also strange that Samsung would release a phone that can't even survive one drop https://www.cnbc.com/... Kevin Fox / @kfury : Do they mean the release date will be in the coming weeks, or the announcement of the release date? Either way, this is probably at least a 6 month delay, easy. https://twitter.com/... Steve Kovach / @stevekovach : Samsung says impacts around the hinge and “substances” inside the phone affected screen performance. @robotodd never dropped the phone or exposed it to substances that could get inside https://www.cnbc.com/... Dieter Bohn / @backlon : I've added a statement to the Galaxy Fold review noting that the release has been delayed indefinitely, but am going to otherwise leave it up as it is Wild situation. Samsung told me 12 hours before I published the review it didn't plan to delay release https://www.theverge.com/... pic.twitter.com/eFAzlYHFFx Dieter Bohn / @backlon : Looks like Samsung will be tweaking the design of the Galaxy Fold. https://www.theverge.com/... pic.twitter.com/GXtnJjuFG0 Casey Newton / @caseynewton : The logical next step here is for Samsung to accidentally make the display so strong that it can no longer be folded, causing an additional delay http://twitter.com/... Geoffrey A. Fowler / @geoffreyfowler : Samsung is blaming the Fold delay on problems with the phone's hinge. Is it possible dust, water and other detritus can get in through there? Hard to give consumers a delicate phone after years of sealed-up, waterproof devices. Mark Gurman / @markgurman : It's official: Samsung delays the Galaxy Fold, says will announce new date in the coming weeks. Brianna Wu / @briannawu : Worth noting, without the fearless journalism of @backlon, @JoannaStern, @stevekovach, @markgurman and others, Samsung would have released a $2000 device that easily broke. Thank you for your integrity. http://www.wsj.com/... M.G. Siegler / @mgsiegler : 🎵 You've got to now when to hold em. Know when to fold em... 🎵 http://twitter.com/... Marques Brownlee / @mkbhd : Apparently Galaxy Fold is going to be delayed by “at least a month” and I think it's for the better if improvements can be made. My review will have a LOT to talk about though. So many thoughts! http://www.wsj.com/... http://twitter.com/... Dan Seifert / @dcseifert : truly would not be surprised if this thing never makes it to market Nate Becker / @natebecker : Another big WSJ scoop: Samsung is delaying the release of its $2,000 folding phone, whose screen was routinely screwing up for (and being peeled off by) reviewers: http://www.wsj.com/... Dan Seifert / @dcseifert : You've got to know when to hold 'em Know when to fold 'em Know when to walk away And know when to run http://www.theverge.com/... Superfluous / @agnotology42 : Samsung PR literally folded on the fold http://twitter.com/... Daniel Rubino / @daniel_rubino : Good breakdown of the Samsung Fold's alleged screen issues. It's a bit more complicated than just failing, but not all of it is user error either. http://www.androidcentral.com/ ...
