Samsung is trying to fix a crimping issue with the $1980 Galaxy Fold's screen according to reports

• Samsung is working to address a flaw in the Galaxy Fold's screen that results in a  after the phone has been folded about 10,000 times, according to Bloomberg.

• The company is reportedly considering offering free screen replacements to Galaxy Fold buyers after the device launches.

• Samsung is also said to be working on two new foldable phones to follow the Galaxy Fold.

Samsung is working to improve the durability of the screen on its Galaxy Fold, the nearly $2,000 foldable smartphone it announced last month and plans to launch at the end of April, according toBloomberg 

The company is said to be working to resolve an issue with the screen that causes a crease to form after the device has been folded about 10,000 times. It's important to note that the Galaxy Fold can also function as a phone when the device is closed, meaning users won't have to open and fold the device to use apps and check notifications on the Fold's smaller screen. Therefore, we can't tell how frequent users will be folding and unfolding the device in everyday use.

One Implicit solution Samsung is reportedly seeing is providing free screen replacements to those who purchase the phone. The crease is said to appear on a protective film positioned on the touch sensor bonded with the display underneath. This issue may be the reason why Samsung prevented media attendees from making use of the phone following its keynote on February 20, one of samsung spokesperson told Bloomberg that wasn't the issue, and the reason it wasn't available for hands-on use was due to the fact that the company wanted to keep the focus on the just announced Galaxy S10 smartphones at the event.

The details about this reported creasing issue on the Galaxy Fold were mentioned in a Bloomberg report indicating that Samsung is working on two additional foldable phones . The Korean electronics giant is reportedly designing a new clamshell phone which folds away from the user, similar to Huawei's Mate X. The device could unvieled later this year or early next.

The company is positioning the Galaxy Fold as being a universal powerhouse that functions as both a phone and a tablet. When folded, the device offers a 4.6-inch phone-sized display that can expand into a 7.3-inch tablet-sized screen. It's capable of running more than three apps on screen and supports universal flash storage 3.0, meaning it should be able to read and write data faster than other mobile devices.

Chinese phone giant Huawei unveiled its own foldable phone, the Mate X, just days after Samsung introduced the Galaxy Fold. Motorola is also working on a foldable phone, as well as popular Chinese phone maker Xiaomi among other firms. Samsung's decision to begin its keynote by unveiling the phone ahead of the Mobile World Congress conference that took place in Barcelona on the 25th-28th of February was undoubtedly an effort to position itself as a leader in this emerging smartphone trend.
