There is a crease where the screen folds. Is it a sign of a faulty device?
The Galaxy Z Fold3 and Galaxy Z Flip3 used multiple layers of thinner films to provide additional protection on the display. With this increased durability, however, you may notice a crease at the center of the screen. The current film material is still prone to deformation. Various research is in progress to reduce the limitations of the material. Creases do not hinder device performance, though. Thus, it is not a sign of a faulty device.
Note:
- Please avoid putting excessive force with sharp tools as it may cause scratches or dents or placing objects such as cards, coins, or keys in between the screens, as it may damage the screen.
- Do not remove the protective film of the main display as it can leave your phone screen damaged.
