Samsung has redesigned the Galaxy Fold to address the screen durability issues that torpedoed its launch, Bloomberg reports, with the folding phone soon to begin commercial production. The company still isn’t able to confirm a release date, however, and one person told Bloomberg that the phone is unlikely to resurface at next month’s Galaxy Note 10 event.
Samsung is said to have made the screen’s protective film “flow into the bezels so it would be impossible to peel off by hand.” Previous review units shipped with a film that looked like a removable screen protector, even though removing it would actually destroy the screen — as some reviewers found out.
The Verge’s unit had a different problem, however, developing a strange bulge that ultimately broke the OLED panel. It’s not clear whether Samsung’s re-engineered hinge, which is apparently now flush with the display and stretches the protective film further, would do anything for that issue.
We’ll have to see how that shakes out, but the main takeaway from the Bloomberg report is that the Fold should return sometime this year. When it does, you can expect a lot of scrutiny.

The top speeds cost top dollar, but you might not need the fastest drive T he price of an external storage drive is tied to a few factors: the amount of storage capacity you’re looking for, how fast the drive is at transferring your files, and its physical size. At this point, high-capacity external drives that require power adapters are surprisingly inexpensive. This is a great option for some, especially if lugging it around isn’t a big deal, or you rarely feel the need to unplug it. But those who are looking for something smaller, particularly a more travel-friendly USB-C drive that doesn’t compromise on storage capacity or speed, have a few different roads to take. As you might expect, it can get very expensive to find a drive that ticks all of these boxes. But thanks to the falling rates of SSD prices, you can get a fast external drive with a lot of storage capacity for less than you might expect. I tested a few 1TB USB-C solid state drives ranging in price from...
"I wanted to make something just as powerful as a statement," the Ohio high school senior told BuzzFeed News. Gina Warren A high school senior from Ohio plans to use her graduation ceremony gown as a heartbreaking reminder of the dozens of students across the country who were unable to finish school because of gun violence. Gina Warren, an 18-year-old from Ashville, Ohio, compiled a list of victims killed in mass shootings at American high schools, starting with the 1999 shooting at Columbine through the attack on STEM school last week. The grad-to-be plans to wear a QR code on her cap at the Sunday ceremony that will send anyone who snaps a picture of her gown to a list of school shooting victims. Gina Warren Gina Warren Warren told BuzzFeed News she was inspired to make the statement after observing Parkland students silently protesting the National Rifle Association last year by painting the tops of their caps orange and including a ...
