I was dying to see the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Flip 7 in person now that they’re official, to check whether they have a crease in the middle of their foldable displays. As a reminder, last year’s Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Flip 6 phones (above) still had significant creases. Recent leaks suggested the 2025 models wouldn’t just be thinner than their predecessors, the Fold 7 and Flip 7 would also pack crease-free foldable panels.
Now that I’ve seen the two devices, I can tell you they both have visible creases at the hinges. Like the thickness issue, the crease remains a design compromise that Samsung still needs to fix to offer better-looking Fold and Flip phones.
But if one leaker’s new report is accurate, the key technology that prevents creasing already exists, and it’s coming from Samsung Display. Ming-Chi Kuo said in a new post on Medium that Apple has chosen Samsung’s solution for eliminating the crease from the iPhone Fold, and Apple will be paying a premium to use that hinge component in its foldable phones.
