Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4 crease pictured for first time

Samsung’s next generation of foldable phones is set to arrive in August this year, featuring a number of enhancements, including a less obvious seam. For years, Samsung has been attempting to improve the irritating display crease, and the Z Fold 4 will be no exception.

Ice Universe, a famous tipster, released side-by-side photographs comparing the Galaxy Z Fold 4’s crease to that of last year’s Z Fold 3. The display crease is still visible in the image, but it is less pronounced than in the Z Fold 3. This goes in line with previous leaks which claimed that the Z Fold 4 would have a 20% shallower crease than before.

This puts Samsung behind companies like Oppo and Motorola, which have previously used teardrop hinges to eliminate display creases on their foldable phones. Instead of folding in half like paper, the display may bend into the hinge. This is the main reason why the Oppo Find N and Moto Razr 5G do not have creases on the display.

As previously stated, the Galaxy Z Fold 4 will be released alongside the Galaxy Z Flip 4 at Samsung’s next Galaxy Unpacked event in August.
