However, I only needed to unfold the device to notice the ever-present display crease.

If confirmed, this would finally remedy an issue that has persisted since the first Galaxy Fold back in 2019. Subsequent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/best-foldable-phones-922793\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">foldable phone<\/a> releases have delivered much smaller display gutters, but no manufacturer has managed to eliminate them altogether.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s also unclear whether the Galaxy Z Flip 8 will use these same parts and could, therefore, also gain a crease-free display. Nevertheless, we\u2019re glad to see the technology coming together to eliminate one of the more annoying things about foldable phones.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Got a tip?
