The phone screens that broke without peeling the protective layer are most likely user mishandling.

The one with the bulge under the screen is likely caused by hardened clay that got into the hinge. The reviewer used moulding clay to secure the phone for taking videos and pictures for the review and the clay likely got into the hinge via the tiny opening and the folding action pushed the clay up to the screen and eventually broke the screen. If you see the video by Lew, 3 posts from this, clay is a very common item used by reviewers to prop up the phone for taking views of the phone for video and pictures of the review. For regular consumers, it could be larger dust particles or lint or even sand particles that could get into the hinge and potentially result in the same outcome.

Samsung will have to work even more on the design of the Fold for future iterations if any.

We knew that Mate X is also similar 'plastic'
The dust thingy will affect
As it folds outward, lagi more interesting

As mentioned Gen 1 foldable, will required extreme care and handling... I'm willingly to fork up the $ to support the tech...

By the time, if apple ever release, it is normal lkao

Regardless the timeline... but that won’t stop manufacturer from releasing 5g ready phones even when network is not up yet.

Sinkies being kiasu... always want to queue just because there’s a queue... will still buy.

That’s how our society is being raised up.

What Is 5G?
The actual 5G radio system, known as 5G-NR, isn't compatible with 4G. But all 5G devices in the US, to start, will need 4G because they'll lean on it to make initial connections before trading up to 5G where it's available. That's technically known as a "non standalone," or NSA, network. Later, our 5G networks will become "standalone," or SA, not requiring 4G coverage to work. But that's a few years off.

Samsung officially delays Galaxy Fold launch

https://www.engadget.com/2019/04/22/samsung-officially-delays-galaxy-fold-launch/

From article

"...Samsung has issued a statement to Engadget saying it would "delay the release" of the Fold after reviewers' broken units showed how the device needed "further improvements." Impacts on the top and bottom exposed areas of the hinge appeared to create problems based on early data, the company said, while substances that got into the device also "affected performance." Samsung planned to strengthen the display protection and "enhance the guidance" on care for the display to prevent people from removing the vital top layer of the screen..."

Lew discuss about the delay of the Fold

pretty well said. folding screen are currently still at the experimental stage and bound to have failures. Samsung was brave enough to be the first to release a phone with a different form factor.

but for consumers like us, it would still be better to stick to whats working right now and wait for the future iterations of folding phones :o

iFixit might have found the reason for the display issues of the Galaxy Fold

https://www.hardwarezone.com.sg/tech-news-ifixit-might-have-found-reason-display-issues-galaxy-fold

From article

"...According to iFixit, there is a gap where the two halves of the display meet. When folded, the spine is flanked by massive gaps which will definitely attract dirt..."

"...iFixit also noticed there is no hinge ingress protection. This will allow dust and dirt to enter and rub against the delicate OLED panel, which could trigger display issues like those experienced by some reviewers..."
