Under most circumstances I do not notice the crease but recently I feel like the crease has been screaming at me when I watch movies on the train during my commute. It's not the dip. It's the light reflecting off the curve. I only notice this on the train.
Samsung might want to consider using a less reflective screen protector. The Oppo N does not have this issue.

Took my Fold 3 out to use yesterday and by 6pm I was wanting to go back to my Pixel 6 Pro. That crease is very annoying and the screen is very reflective making the crease much much worse. It's a very bad screen to watch movies on.

Way to make it seem it has decent battery life... when in reality it's a joke.

I mean we're all adults here nobody wants a gimped, closed, walled garden operating system on their phones these days. Imagine that a foldable device with half assed multi-tasking. That's Apple in a nut shell.

I wouldn't mind foldables as much if Samsung of all manufacturers wouldn't be behind other ones despite being 1 to 2 generations ahead in terms of experience.. It feels like they barely pushed development ahead with each generation and it doesn't seem like they're going to change that.

John, 19 Jun 2022Not entirely correct......the technology is here but only o... moreThat's not correct. Nobody had gotten rid of the crease. The difference is the level of visibility and feel. The teardrop hinge foldables produce a crease that appears to be softer than Samsung's Fold, but it's still there.
The drawback is the teardrop might not allow the device to be protected against submersion like the Fold.

Anonymous, 19 Jun 2022Right on time to help get rid of the remaining unsold stock... moreUpcoming model will also be 100 dollars/euro cheaper than Fold 3 at launch.
If i could get Fold 3 for 1000 euros vs Fold 4 1700 euros i am not sure what i would do.

Had mine since January this year, bought used off ebay for £900.
So far, its been faultless although I'm very careful with it.
The crease isn't a problem for me, but the battery life leads alot to be desired.
Both screens are absolutely gorgeous though and the device itself is stunning.
I wouldnt be surprised if it failed on me at anytime though. I'm expecting a huge repair bill at some point.

I am gonna be honest i bought a fold 3 just so that i can read Manga on that big screen while commuting or at home.
The only complaint i have with it is that the battery life is just average and the charging speed is extremely slow . But overall its a really good phone if you can spend that amount of money .

HA!

*sigh*. I wish the outer displays aspect ratio wasnt so tall. It kinda obstructs your typing.

It looks beautiful when unfolded but ugly when is unfolded. It's like two phones one on top of the other. The ideal would be the phone to look as slim and seamless as a conventional phone when is folded but the technology is still not here for such thing.

YUKI93, 18 Jun 2022Just a few weeks ago, I have the chance to play with the Z ... moreAs a user of a fold3 for 9 months now, i can confortable say i barely notice the crease. Especially while gaming and watching videos. It was jarring at first because i was actively looking for it but after a few days i just stopped noticing or caring. The amount of times my finger even touches the crease is minimal
