The submission title seems like an exaggeration. According to the article, Samsung's statement actually says:
> Here’s the statement in full:
> "A limited number of early Galaxy Fold samples were provided to media for review. We have received a few reports regarding the main display on the samples provided. We will thoroughly inspect these units in person to determine the cause of the matter.
> Separately, a few reviewers reported having removed the top layer of the display causing damage to the screen. The main display on the Galaxy Fold features a top protective layer, which is part of the display structure designed to protect the screen from unintended scratches. Removing the protective layer or adding adhesives to the main display may cause damage. We will ensure this information is clearly delivered to our customers."
To me this reads: Samsung says there are several categories of issues that they will investigate, but to address one particular category where a protective layer was removed, they will make sure that customers are clearly informed that they should not remove the protective layer (which I assume will include a label on the layer itself).
In other words, whereas the author sees that statement as implicitly putting the blame on the users, I see it as implicitly accepting responsibility in terms of insufficient labeling.
Edit: I assumed the submission title was the same as the article title, but it is not. The article title "Samsung responds to reviewer complaints about its Galaxy Fold phone" seems fine.
- alistairSH 8y agoMy only issue with that response... why the heck does the top layer of the screen appear removable? Users are used to removing protective screens from many displays. Building a product that has something that appears like a protective screen, but isn't, seems like a terrible idea.
