Re: Pretty well Inevitable for an Alpha Version
"The more interesting question is why this didn't happen during Samsung's testing."
This is the true issue. "Pretty well inevitable for an Alpha version" - the "alpha" version should have never left the company's internal testing facilities. That leaves this as a Beta version that is performing like an Alpha version.
This is very troubling, very concerning, and seriously questions Samsung's internal testing and QC methods. Sufficient testing should have brought out the problems in both the Fold and the Note 7 prior to release, yet reality shows otherwise. Even those the Fold is a pre-production model it should have faced an internal testing rollout prior to being placed into the hands of a single person external to the company.
Therefore one must question Samsung's commitment to QC, for it seems to be willing to force customers into being Alpha-level testers. Once is a mistake, twice is beginning to showing a pattern.
