Last week, the US$1,980 (S$2,680) Samsung Galaxy Fold - the Korean giant's first foldable smartphone - hit the headlines for the wrong reasons, with several reviewers reporting broken screens, flickering visuals and lost pixels.
While other reviewers have reported no major issues with their review units, Samsung has decided to delay the release of the Galaxy Fold in the United States and other markets. This is despite reports that the first batch of the Galaxy Fold has been sold out in US. But I think it is a wise decision by Samsung.
