Experts examined Samsung's folding phone and found some clues what caused it to break
The experts at iFixit recently tore apart the Samsung's foldable phone and may have discovered at least one area where the phone was prone to damage.
The Galaxy Fold was given to reviewers last week, but some of the units broke, including CNBC's, after just a couple of days of use. iFixit says a small area at the top and bottom of the screen leaves the Galaxy Fold prone to damage. The findings align with Samsung's explanation for its delay earlier this week. After Samsung inspected broken review units, the company said that damage"could be associated with impact on the top and bottom exposed areas of the hinge. There was also an instance where substances found inside the device affected the display performance.""When closed, the screen is protected — but the spine is flanked by massive gaps that our opening picks hop right into," iFixit continued.
