The Galaxy Fold release, which was put off by Samsung following a number of issues that were encountered by early users, may finally be happening soon. The Galaxy Fold user manual for the AT&T version has leaked in the Korean media, and it does indeed contain a number of warnings based on the issues that were encountered.
One of such is a warning not to peel off the top layer of the device as it is an integral part of the display. This is actually the same warning that was present on the outer wrapper of the retail box, as was showcased by T-Mobile’s marketing head honcho Desmond Smith earlier on. The warning reads, “ATTENTION – The main screen includes a special protective layer. Peeling off the protective layer or using any adhesives on the main screen, such as screen protectors or stickers, may cause damage.” Thus, Samsung not only put the warning on the retail box but in the manual in order to apparently ensure it is not missed by anyone.
Apart from that, Samsung also included a note on the user manual which notifies users that the crease in the middle of the display at the point where the device unfolds is normal. Here’s the notification; “NOTE: You may notice a crease at the center of the Main screen. This is normal characteristic of the device. When folding the device, make sure that no objects are placed between the screens.

The report also revealed that Samsung will try and release the Fold next month (June) in order to beat the Mate X launch in July. It has allegedly been postponing the launch in order to better train the reps on presenting the device and teach potential buyers how to use the phone. Like, for instance, not to scrape off the cover film which turned out to be an integral part of the flexible display underneath, even though it does not completely wrap around and fuse with the panel at the edges, making it look like a screen protector of sorts.
