Samsung postpones Galaxy Fold launch event in China

The tech giant Samsung Electronics has been reportedly delayed the launch event of its much-anticipated smart handset Galaxy Fold in China, with the official reason blamed on the venue.

The media events were previously set for Tuesday in Hong Kong and Wednesday in Shanghai, but said to be delayed on Sunday without rescheduling, according to media citing people familiar with the issue.

However, people seem not to buy the explanation of venue issues, given that a string of review reports from tech journalists showed the after just a few days of use, including breaks, bulges, flashing screens, as well as an easily-removed protective layer on top of the screen.

The company made a quick response to those reports that they "will thoroughly inspect these units in person to determine the cause of the matter."

However, no comment from the Samsung concerning the delay has been made so far, and the date for the pricy foldable device to go on sale remains April 26.
