part smartphone: The phone's creators described the Fold as the foundation of the smartphone of tomorrow claiming it would overturn expectations and set the industry on a new path . Part smartphone, part tablet, the Galaxy Fold bridged two multibillion-dollar device categories through a folding design that allowed it to open like a book, according to The Independent. The design was an eye-catching statement from the world's biggest smartphone maker, and after months of hype and rumour the first devices landed in the pockets of tech reviewers and journalists in April. With the smoke still clearing from the Galaxy Note 7 debacle which saw batteries of the 2016 flagship phone spontaneously catch fire and explode the Galaxy Fold signalled Samsung's intention to move forward by completely reimagining the stale and saturated smartphone market. But then disaster struck. The display spazzed and blacked out, wrote another blogger. The screen of my Galaxy Fold review unit is completely broken and unusable just two days in, one reviewer tweeted.
