Samsung is first to market with a foldable phone. It’s a work in progress so expect some bumps in the road. Samsung gets a pass on this. You know it’s true. But if this were Apple it would be “DON’T THEY TEST THIS STUFF BEFORE THEY RELEASE IT?"
I’m not at all surprised that they’re having issues, just that it happened so fast. If I had shelled out $2k for a preorder I’d be cancelling it 5 minutes ago.
Not sure why you think Samsung should get a pass on this, though. Having failures within 48 hours is pretty bad. My exact thought was “DON’T THEY TEST THIS STUFF BEFORE THEY RELEASE IT?“
He's not saying they should, merely that they are given a lot more leeway than Apple.
Ah, ok.
In that case, DON’T THEY TEST THIS STUFF BEFORE THEY RELEASE IT?
Like I said, at best this is a version 3 product. Even if they get all the bugs out for version 2, it won't really be ready for prime time until version 3. If it gets that far. I'm certainly glad they priced it so high that I didn't feel tempted to get one just to see how the hinge behaved after extended use.
I have to laugh at people saying at least a Samsung is trying. I’m sorry but you try in the labs not in public. By the time a device gets released to the public it should not have a glaring flaws like this.

This is something I really don’t understand. I could expect that they don’t last as long as they say. 200,000 folds is a lot of folds after all. But maybe they would start breaking after 100,000, even 50,000. But this amazes me. Unless this first batch is faulty, it makes no sense.

They get a pass on broken product that’s days away from release to consumers?

Well, that didn't take long.

Or maybe version 5, if you go by the problems with the Babylon stations.
They built the Babylon station as a place to establish peace in the galaxy, and it blew up.
So they built Babylon 2, and it blew up.
Then they built Babylon 3, which was blown up by terrorists.
Next, they built Babylon 4, which got sucked down a time warp, into the first Shadow war and then blew up.
But the fifth one stayed up!
I am predicting battery explosions next on these devices.
