Two journalists said they removed a thin, protective layer from the screens that they thought was supposed to come off, but was meant to stay.A CNBC video shows the left side of the phone's inside screen intermittently flashing, while the right side is unresponsive.Regardless of whether they removed a protective layer from their screens or not, the phone still stopped working for reviewers.
