终于要延迟! 昨晚 WSJ 抢先披露 Samsung 会延迟推出 Galaxy Fold,而 Samsung 官方之后发出新闻稿公布会延迟推出 Galaxy Fold。
Samsung 为了全面评估早前 Review Units 的屏幕问题,以及进行更多的测试,所以决定将 Galaxy Fold 推出日期延迟,并计划在未来数星期公布新的推出日期。
新闻稿亦提到初步调查的一些发现,屏幕问题可能源于机身较位上下两端的接触所导致,另外亦在装置内发现一些物质可能会影响屏幕表现,但新闻稿未有讲解是什么东西。
今次事件让人联想到几年前的 Note 7。幸好今次那些 Review Units 出事,让 Samsung 及早察觉问题延迟开售,若果是到了消费者手中才大规模出事,问题就可能更难收拾。
Samsung to Postpone the Launch of the Galaxy Fold
We recently unveiled a completely new mobile category: a smartphone using multiple new technologies and materials to create a display that is flexible enough to fold. We are encouraged by the excitement around the Galaxy Fold.
While many reviewers shared with us the vast potential they see, some also showed us how the device needs further improvements that could ensure the best possible user experience.
To fully evaluate this feedback and run further internal tests, we have decided to delay the release of the Galaxy Fold. We plan to announce the release date in the coming weeks.
Initial findings from the inspection of reported issues on the display showed that they could be associated with impact on the top and bottom exposed areas of the hinge. There was also an instance where substances found inside the device affected the display performance.
We will take measures to strengthen the display protection. We will also enhance the guidance on care and use of the display including the protective layer so that our customers get the most out of their Galaxy Fold.
We value the trust our customers place in us and they are always our top priority. Samsung is committed to working closely with customers and partners to move the industry forward. We want to thank them for their patience and understanding.
