Deja vutime: Samsung's Galaxy Fold has been torn to pieces.
Samsung's first-ever foldable phone,???? ??? the Fold, was scheduled to launch in April, but it was scrapped after it became apparent that the phone has several defects which can cause it to break quite easily. A teardown of the device made those flaws even more apparent.
In September, a new and improved version of the Fold was properly launched, and now, the experts at iFixit have torn it down again.
The examination of the Fold's innards shows that Samsung really did address the most important pain points of the original design. The company added an extra metal layer beneath the screen to reinforce it, closed the gaps on both sides of the "fold" as to prevent dust and debris from getting in, and extended the display-protecting layer to make it harder to peel off.
