I haven’t met anyone yet who does and I haven’t read any good endorsements about foldable phones but I keep seeing advertisement for foldable phones.

Thanks

    The only time I’ve ever seen a folding smartphone in person it had a huge, extremely noticeable crease across the screen. The phone was otherwise in good shape from what I could tell.

    When foldable screens first came out I thought to myself, “wow that’s pretty neat, but what will it look like after several months/years of typical usage? It’ll probably have a crease noticeable enough that I would never want to use one.” Turns out I wasn’t too far off. No thanks, I’ll stick with a regular screen.

      Hi, i have said this in my own response but i just wanted to say. As someone who has had the fold 3 since launch and used it for the past 3 years. I can assure you, the crease is not an issue. You cant see it when you are using the phone. It doesnt feel uncomfortable when your finger passes over it (if anything its smooth and feels quite nice) and i forget its there 99% of the time. The 1% of the time that i notice it, i dont think “godni wish that wasnt there” i barely even acknowledge it. Because it doesnt matter.

      I appreciate that its a worry when you havent used one. It was for me when i got one. Until i realised it doesnt matter.

      After using the phone for 3 years the crease is the same as its ever been and i would happily provide photo evidence of that if you or anyone else doesnt believe me.

      I thought so too, specifically about the crease, put so many people here. Have owned some type of fold for years without the crease bothering them that I’m going to go through some long-term review videos
