Samsung Has Done Little To Eliminate The Crease On The Galaxy Z Fold 5, Even With The Display Illuminated

wccftech.com:

Samsung is officially done taking the wraps off its flagship foldable, the Galaxy Z Fold 5, but for better or for worse, it appears that the Korean giant has done little when changing the design of the handset. Sure, the Z Fold 5 now snaps properly like a book, with no visible gap present, but the inner display, where most users will be multitasking, still features a crease and a prominent one at that.

Samsung likely provided the press and other media personnel with commercial units of the Galaxy Z Fold 5 to try and see what they found different. Alvin, a Twitter user, shared pictures of the smartphone’s inner display, with the first image showing that the panel is powered off, and even though he claims that he did not have time to clean the display, a crease is visible from the bottom, to nearly the top of the Galaxy Z Fold 5. It looks as if Samsung has run into a roadblock with this design, as eliminating the crease appears to be impossible for the company.

Alvin shares two more pictures with the inner display powered on, and the crease is still visible on the Galaxy Z Fold 5, albeit it is less prominent because the illumination hides a majority of that line. Even when viewed from a different angle, when the inner display is powered on, the crease can still be seen, but a large portion of it is hidden. It may have been easier for Samsung to eliminate the gap on the Galaxy Z Fold 5 when closing the foldable flagship, but it looks like an uphill battle when getting rid of the crease.
