Samsung's $2,000 Galaxy Fold Units Are Failing Left and Right With Disastrous Display Issues (androidpolice.com)

Four Samsung Galaxy Fold review units in the hands of major US tech journalists all experienced device-breaking display failures today. AndroidPolice: Steve Kovach of CNBC, Mark Gurman of Bloomberg, and Dieter Bohn of The Verge have reported major failures of their phones' display panels, just two days after receiving them. To say this is a disaster for Samsung is probably underselling it. Well-known YouTuber MKBHD claims to be having similar problems, but hasn't posted any images. Bohn and Kovach claim their displays failed without removing the panel's protective film (Samsung says not to take it off), but both Gurman and Brownlee did. The company has yet to begin shipping the device to consumers. So far it has only handed the phone to select journalists, most of whom reported issue with it today.

    Sure.

    He did. We didn't believe him. He proved it. We got angry. Killing. More proof. More killing. More proof.

    Moments of beauty. More killing. Oh, and we are flawed. All of us. He knew that.

    Silence.

    He came to us. Proof. We mostly didn't believe Him. This time we killed Him. He rose again to prove it again. We still don't believe Him until he proves it to each one of us. Individually.

    We are still flawed. All of us. Now some of us kill because we're still flawed. Some of us try really hard to be better. Nope, still flawed. He loves us anyways.

    We can't. He can. We should let Him.

    End of the written record.
