Although the early production review unit that Samsung gave me never so much as flickered, CNET will hold off giving the device an official rating until we've fully tested a final production Galaxy Fold. The fact that the Fold suffered now five screen meltdowns before it even reached customers' hands deeply concerns me.

That Samsung somehow missed proper quality control before releasing this device will stir up memories of the Galaxy Note 7 battery flame-out. If reviewers hadn't caught the screen problems on the Fold, a lot of unhappy customers might have shelled out $2,000 for a device that gives more headaches than glimpses of the future. And, of course, we have to wonder how this will affect other foldable phones, such as the Huawei Mate X and the (rumored) foldable Moto Razr. Will the true foldable revolution stall a few years while waiting for Corning's bendable glass?
