The company has reportedly said, however, that the delay was caused by problems with the venue, according to SamMobile, citing "someone claiming to be familiar with the matter." Frequent mobile tipster Ice Universe also corroborated the delay of "two events," presumably the launch events, and also suggested that shipments of the phone itself would be delayed.

If it happens, that launch delay could possibly exclude the US. A Samsung spokesperson said last week that the US April 26 launch date is still on, according to a tweet from The Wall Street Journal. It's unclear if Samsung will revise its statement in order to address the screen concerns and bolster the message on its packaging informing new Galaxy Fold owners not to remove the plastic film protecting the polymer screen.
