As someone on their second foldable, fold 3 now fold 6, the crease is truly, I promise you, a non issue. Unless you’re doing detained drawing with the S-pen, not my use case, it has no meaningful effect on the experience. For single person consumption, you almost have to consciously try to position it in a way that’s visible when watching a video, for example.
I’d actually miss the crease, as it gives the screen a kind of magic book-esque quality. The biggest problem with foldables in my experience is the odd aspect ratio universal to all of them, something a tri fold design may actually mitigate.
As someone who had a fold 2 and now has a fold 5, I agree. I do like the aspect ratio, though. It’s very nearly 4:3 when unfolded, which makes it perfect for pre-widescreen TV shows.
Evangelion looks great on it, for instance
Thanks for that I have been considering a foldable and the creaae doesn’t worry me but how’s the durability ?
I’ve had no problems with durability beyond the internal factory screen protector peeling up and needing replacement twice in 3 years. I know thats anecdotal and I case my phones, but I had no durability issues and the hinge felt solid after 3 years, I just felt the battery wasnt up to par anymore, the trade I credit was high, and a phone with moving parts probably won’t last forever.
But I had no real complaints on durability.
