Samsung says it has no plans to delay next week's launch of its latest smartphone, despite reports that the devices can easily break.
The Samsung Galaxy Fold costs nearly $2,000. The smartphone is able to open up into a tablet.
But some reviewers who got a preview say they found defective hinges on the device. Not only that, but they say the screens broke after removing the phone's protective film.
The company will not push back the Galaxy Fold's April 26 launch. Pre-orders for the phone have already sold out online.
