Some years ago, when the news of the first foldable smartphones broke out, I was skeptical about it: that thing's display was going to be plain awful. Boy, was I wrong!
I agree. I laughed at these phones long ago for many different reasons…one of them being the hideous crease.
The thing is that the crease is super noticeable to observers, but it essentially disappears when looking at it head on unless you’re in like bright sunlight or something. Angles are so important here. So I see why non folding phone users balk at the crease…it’s so prominent to them! Actually using it is a different story that you don’t realize until you hold one in your hand yourself!
100%! And, 6 generations in the tech is pretty well advanced now. I don’t mind being an early adopter, but with folding phones being so fragile and early ones having hideous and unusable cover screens for instance, I was fine waiting it out the issues until it was a bit more mature. They’re still getting continuously better, it’s a great time for anyone into the idea of a foldable.
