Ive been excited to see folding phone screens for a few years now, but I’m reminded of the horrible creases that form over time (at least in the Samsung models I’ve seen).

Are there any folding phones on the market now that don’t have this issue? Any that are worth the price?

    I have a Z Fold 4 and I like it a lot for the screen size. Like others have said, the crease isn’t noticeable once you’re used to it. It’s not all great though. I had the first one replaced under warranty because it stopped working correctly when a cable in the hinge must have snapped. I would be concerned using this phone without a warranty.

      Is there a reason why the Z Flip is half the price of the fold besides the difference in screen size?

        I’m guessing like you said screen size is the defining difference here (thats a lot more screen to bend), along with camera quality being a bit better, and also they want to encourage the perception that the Z Fold is the more premium product.

          The Z Fold also has s-pen support and hdmi out (over usb c) which the flip does not have. My be some other hardware based things too, not sure.
