Here’s the bottom line about the foldable smartphone that has generated so much news coverage for Samsung this year, the vast majority of it not good: The Galaxy Fold is a seriously expensive phone that, in spite of Samsung’s fixes and a release delay, is still an incredibly fragile product. It’s no longer the dumpster fire that it was back in April, in the days leading up to the first planned release until tech writers and reviewers started seeing their early units manifest a slew of problems. But it’s still certainly too problematic at the nearly $2,000 price point for us to recommend.
We showed you over the weekend, for example, a video of the Fold not lasting through the 200,000 folds and unfolds which Samsung promised it can take. Meanwhile, a new design problem has also emerged, and for my money, this is probably one of the most embarrassing yet. Maybe even the most embarrassing.
