According to editor Steve Kovacs of CNBC, half his screen simply stopped working. About the same problem
Broke the screen of the smartphone and the famoustechnology blogger Marquez Brownlee. According to him, this happened after the removal of a special protective film from the screen of the Samsung Galaxy Fold. It turned out that Gourmet with Bon was removed, and only Kovac did not remove the film.

PSA: There's a layer that appears to be a screen protector on the Galaxy Fold's display. It's NOT a screen protector. Do NOT remove it.
I got this spazed and blacked out. Started over with a replacement. pic.twitter.com/ZhEG2Bqulr

The company told reporters that the film can notshoot because it is responsible for the operation of the screen. At the same time, in their reviews of the publication they noted that the instruction manual did not say anything about banning film removal, moreover, it very quickly — within two days — begins to move away from the screen itself.
The phone comes with a protective layer / film. Samsung says you are not supposed to remove it. I removed it, not knowing you’re not supposed to (consumers won’t know either). It appeared removable. I believe this contributed to the problem. pic.twitter.com/fU646D2zpY
