- Early reviews of the Galaxy Fold have started to appear, and reviewers are recommending against purchasing the device largely due to issues related to its folding screen.
- A small number of reviewers began reported that the screens on their devices had broken after just two days of use.
- The general consensus among early reviewers appears to be that although the device is promising, it's not ready to hit the market just yet.
Earlier this week, Samsung provided media outlets with review samples of the Galaxy Fold, giving the public its first in-depth look at what it's like to use the company's much-hyped foldable phone.
But just two days later, a small number of reviewers reported that the screen on their devices had completely broken, turning what should have been a landmark launch for the company into a public relations disaster. Early reviews of the device started to surface on Friday, and so far not one of them has recommended purchasing the device.
Samsung said in a statement responding to the issues earlier this week that it will "thoroughly inspect these units in person to determine the cause of the matter."
Here's a look at what reviews of the Fold have to say so far.
