How noticeable is the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6’s crease?
The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 has improvements that help reduce the device’s crease. These include an improved “folding edge” hinge mechanism and thinner Gorilla Glass Victus 2 glass. As a result, the hinge’s crease is much less noticeable than the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5’s.
Here’s a comparison between the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 and Galaxy Z Flip 6 creases:
As you can see, the previous iteration seems to have a more pronounced, sharper crease that extends from side to side. In comparison, the Galaxy Z Flip 6 crease is much more round and smoother and seems to be most noticeable only in the middle.
It seems like Samsung is finally on its way to getting rid of the dreaded crease. That said, it is still far from beating our favorite contender. The OPPO Find N3 Flip ($1199 at Giztop) and Find N3 ($1399 at Giztop) remain the unbeaten contestants in the race to eliminate the crease. Unfortunately, you can’t buy this in the US, so you’re next best bet is the Motorola Razr Plus (2024) ($999 at Amazon).
Here’s a look at how the OPPO Find N3 Flip one looks:
