But reporters from The Verge and CNBC said they left that layer on and their screens still broke, USA Today reported.

Videos on social media show one side of the inside screen intermittently flashing, and the other side as unresponsive.

The long-anticipated folding phone is about the size of a standard smartphone when folded, but can open up to the size of a small tablet. The phone is designed to work whether closed or open; when open, the single screen display is bisected by a crease.

Samsung promises the screen can withstand being opened and closed 200,000 times, or 100 times a day for five years.

The Galaxy Fold goes on sale April 26 in the US for $1,980, making it one of the most expensive phones anywhere — particularly if it isn’t as durable as promised.

Samsung did not immediately comment.

The company had a disastrous rollout of a new phone in 2016 with the Galaxy Note 7, which Samsung eventually recalled because its batteries were catching on fire.
