After all Problems with the Galaxy Fold iFixit was able to take the device apart. Samsung won't like what came out of it.
iFixit was able to identify that there is a major problem with the Galaxy Fold's hinge. Samsung has apparently focused too much on making it stable enough. Apparently, they didn't consider that dirt can get into the casing via this component. Michael Fisher, among others, was able to experience this first hand - there are small foreign objects under the display of his test device, as he reports on Twitter. In The Verge's case, the panel even broke completely.
Sigh. A little grain of something found its way beneath my Galaxy Fold display. Like the saying goes: "not surprised; just disappointed." Sending this back to Samsung hoping they figure out a way to seal up that hinge.

The fact is: Samsung has now withdrawn all review devices and postponed the launch of the Galaxy Fold completely in order to investigate all the problems that have arisen. It is still unclear when we will see the smartphone in public again. It is a shame that Samsung took this risk with the hinge. Whether Huawei will be able to do this with the Mate X will go better?
Street: The Verge
I think they didn't quite “work out” during development?
Would your colleagues from Germany say “Can you bend”?
