Galaxy Fold delay a blow to Samsung, but it's no Note 7 disaster

The delay is not just a black eye for Samsung, but for consumer confidence in foldable phones in general. These flexible and bendable devices are supposed to represent a revolution for smartphones, but they can hardly take off if people are worried about their durability. And given the high prices for these devices (just look at the $2,600 Huawei Mate X), you have a right to expect that this phone, well, actually works.
But here's the thing: This whole mishap could have been so much worse.
