Samsung was pretty quick to jump on the #bendgate bandwagon, an issue that caused certain iPhone 6 Plus units to bend when they were carried around in a particularly tight pocket. Earlier this week a potential design flaw with its latest flagship, the Galaxy Note 4, was reported as well. Early adopters found that there was a gap between the display and the frame in which one could easy fit a business card. Samsung has now spoken out regarding this potential flaw.
In a statement provided to Trusted Reviews, Samsung says that this reported issue does not “impact the functionality or quality of the Galaxy Note 4.” Adding that it assures customers that all of its Galaxy Note 4 units meet “strict manufacturing and quality control standards.”
A previous report claimed that Samsung was aware of this issue and is presumably working to fix it before the units start shipping next month. You wouldn’t be wrong to chalk its latest statement up as pure PR talk, the gap is there on some units, and it remains to be seen if it really is that widespread and we will only be able to find that out once the release takes place in October.
Samsung has already released the Galaxy Note 4 down in South Korea. Currently pre-orders are being taken in the U.S. as well as several countries across Europe.
