SEOUL/GUANGZHOU -- Samsung Electronics' quality control is under the microscope again with the delayed launch of folding-screen smartphone over fragile displays, an unwelcome follow-up to the Galaxy Note 7 battery fires of 2016.
The Galaxy Fold was set to begin sales in the U.S. this coming Friday, with a 5G version to hit South Korea later. But on Tuesday, Samsung said it would now announce the new release date "in the coming weeks" following reports of malfunctions by some reviewers.
