Samsung may have come up with
solutions for the Galaxy Fold's defects weeks after review units experienced
screen breaks, flickering and bulges.
The Korean electronics giant
solved the problem with the protective plastic layer on the delayed $1,980
foldable phone's display, Yonhap News reported Wednesday.
Since this part of the display
wasn't attached to the end of the plastic bezel surrounding the screen, some
reviewers assumed it was an ordinary screen protector and pulled it off. To
stop this from happening, Samsung apparently extended this layer so it's under
the bezel and the edge isn't on the screen to tempt you.
The company also addressed
problems with dust and fluff getting caught under the phone's hinge mechanism
by reducing the size of that part so it'll be covered by the current protective
frame, according to Yonhap.
Samsung didn't immediately
respond to a request for comment. It delayed the Galaxy Fold weeks back in
April, but its mobile CEO, DJ Koh, reportedly said last week that the luxury
phone's US launch "will not be too late."
