The Samsung Galaxy Fold smartphone is due to be released on 3 May 2019 but those testing the folding smart devices are having a few issues with the screen. 

One image can change us.

A picture, a moment can change the way we feel. Change how we see ourselves. Change our understanding and change the rules. Provoke and change history.

MPB puts photo and video kit into more hands, more sustainably. Every month, visual storytellers sell more than 20,000 cameras and lenses to MPB. Choose used and get affordable access to kit that doesn’t cost the earth. Sell the kit you’re not using to MPB. Trade in for the kit you need to create. Buy used, spend less and get more. Buy. Sell. Trade. Create.

Some bloggers/journalists are reporting that the screen goes black or are saying half of the screen likes to 'flicker on and off'. Others, who may not have read the instructions close enough, have tried peeling off a thin layer of plastic they presumed was a screen protector - it's not and breaks the screen if you do so. 

Let's hope the issues are fixed before consumers start getting hold of the device as Samsung doesn't want another nightmare as they had with the Galaxy Note 7 catching fire. 

In case you missed the launch event, the new Galaxy Fold features a 7.3-inch Infinity Flex display and a whopping 6 camera lenses! When folded, the device has a 4.6-inch HD+ Super AMOILED cover screen with a 10-megapixel f/2.2 selfie camera.

As well as Samsung, OPPO has revealed a folding smartphone and so has Huawei with the Mate X which has a rear 6.3-inch and front 6.6-inch screen when in smartphone size and when folded out, you have a phablet size screen that measures 8-inches.
