Samsung's Galaxy Fold is not off to a good start.

After early Fold review units given to reviewers starting breaking just days after they got them, Samsung has indefinitely delayed the foldable phone's launch in the U.S. and China.

While we know some reasons why Folds were breaking — dirt somehow got underneath the screen and reviewers accidentally peeled off the display's screen protector-like film — a comprehensive teardown by iFixit has revealed the nearly $2,000 device has multiple points of failure.
