Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Shrugs Off Crease Fears After 1 Month of Use

3 articles · Updated · Android Police · Aug 25

Summary

  • One month after launch, a reviewer who used both the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Z Fold 8 Ultra said the widely discussed crease issue is overstated in daily use.
  • After countless folds and unfolds, the reviewer said the crease is usually invisible during video and gaming, appearing mainly at extreme angles or when the screen is off.
  • Online complaints have centered on the Ultra and on claims that the crease becomes obvious faster than expected, undermining Samsung's pitch that the mark was largely eliminated.
  • The report says severe creasing may stem from extreme use, accidents or mistreatment, and argues rival foldables often show similar or worse display lines.
