I could argue several reasons to avoid a folding phone. The crease isn't one of them. Yes, I feel it while swiping across the screen, but it's so unnoticeable while using the phone, it's a non-issue.

    Mind elaborating on those reasons? I'm also a Fold owner and I love it more than any other phone I've ever owned. If there are cons that I'm missing, I'd like to know before I go buy another one of these in a year or two.

    The Internal screen is fragile. It's softer than finger nails, so need to be careful about it. The screen protector doesn't last a year in most cases. The hinge can get debris in it that will start causing problems. It's narrow, but it's definitely a thick phone. It's heavy too. Software is a hit or miss on what can handle the screen basically changing size and shape on it.

    That being said, I can't go back to using a normal phone. The large display is just too good to give up.

    Lol these are all just hallmarks of Samsung well established reputation of quality, it is the shittiest company in that regard. They are innovative though!

    I didn’t realize that. All the display models I’ve seen have been off and it’s very prevalent. I’d also question the durability of the hinge (but I guess it’s not much different than a flip phone) and how the OS is set up to handle it.

    On display you've got it bashed by turbo bright florescent or LED retail lights, same as on review videos. In real life you just almost never have that environment, and almost never notice it.

    The hinge is probably the most sturdy thing on the whole phone, more than the screen itself. If you're around a lot of sand or pocket dust, maybe this isn't the right phone or you need to be careful about cleaning the gaps regularly, but otherwise that's not a problem

    The OS let's you run up to 5 apps simultaneously, split screen or floating, with two different navbars to call them up. It's honestly the best multitasking on a mobile device period

    They're not the right device for everyone, but they're much more ready for normal use than most people think

    Oh for sure, turn off the display and the crease is right there. Now turn it back on, sure I can spot it still, but I'm looking for it. Start watching a YouTube video or use apps, you will forget it's even there.
