Samsung finally released the Galaxy Fold, after the few preview specimens it sent out to tech reviewers and assorted “influencers” were either abused or exhibited strange display artifacts. 

The cover film has been packaged tighter with the flexible display, and the hinge gap from where dust and debris entered underneath the crease has been fixed now, as Samsung managed to solve the two glaring problems that emerged during the real-life operation of the initial Fold batch.

Previously, we thought that the PI film is simply attached to the OLED screen underneath with an extremely durable and flexible adhesive which allows the package to bend at the middle by stretching a bit but not coming unglued and doing this many times while retaining its original size and form. 

What Samsung has reportedly done now, is fuse the anti-fingerprint film tighter with the underlying package, and increased the corner overlap so that it doesn’t look like a screen protector the invites you to peel it off. 

In addition, the hinge gap at the bottom has been remedied with caps and an extra layer, and Samsung’s Lee even joked how he “put ten nails in this space on the Royole FlexPai, there is a difference…”
