Samsung Electronics is investigating why review models of its Galaxy Fold malfunctioned to such an extent that the product’s launch has had to be postponed. Following eight years of research, the US$1,980 Galaxy Fold was on track to launch in April as the world's first mass-produced bendable smartphone. The achievement could have seen Samsung rise to the top of the global consumer electronics market, but it appears that its race to meet corporate goals may have come at the cost of good engineering practices.
