Will the Fold 5 have a crease?
This is a question as old as foldables themselves. Samsung’s foldable phones are the biggest offenders when it comes to the notorious screen crease. Chinese phone makers like Huawei, Xiaomi, Vivo, and Oppo have greatly minimized the crease, though it has not been completely eliminated. Even the Google Pixel Fold’s big crease is less noticeable than the Fold 4’s.
Although the crease is not necessarily a deal breaker for everyone and does fade into the background when you stop obsessing over it, it’s still disappointing to know that even a new hinge design could not make the Fold 5 less wrinkly. And the screen crease gets worse with time, so this is not really a non-issue and the dent also gives the phones an unpolished feel.
There is no concrete information on whether the new hinge will help narrow the gap between the two halves when the phone is folded.
Samsung has confirmed that the phone will be announced in July.
