If there is one aspect in which Samsung’s foldables are not indicated as an industry-wide reference, that is the visibility of the fold that runs through the internal display. On the Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Galaxy Z Flip 3, it is definitely visible, especially with the screen off or if you do not look at the smartphone from the front, and the competition has already shown that in this sense it can be done better: the latest example is the Find N by Oppo, with the choice of the screen that retracts “by drop” inside the hinge.
The Korean giant, however, as expected, is continuing to work to file this defect, and the rumors at the end of May spoke of a Galaxy Z Fold 4 with a less accentuated fold than the current generation. The same speech, however, should also apply to Galaxy Z Flip 4 (which otherwise seems to keep intact the aesthetics of the predecessor).
THE RIGHT FOLD
The source of these rumors is the well-known leaker IceUniverse, who today on his Twitter profile has published an image that should portray the “new fold” of the next foldable by Samsung.

The problem with the photo in question is not so much the reliability, since IceUniverse has shown several times in the past that it deserves trust, as the quality of the shot. The crease seems less clear than that visible on the Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Galaxy Z Flip 3, but it must also be said that in this case, a lot depends on the angle of the point of view and on the lighting conditions: in short, it is difficult to express a judgment now.
It is natural to wonder, if anything if Samsung has found a way to make its fold less evident by keeping the same approach or has instead adopted a solution similar to that seen on the aforementioned Oppo Find XN, “drop”.
In this case, we have seen that the result is immediately visually more satisfying, but at the same time, we know that in the long run, it could lead to the formation of a wavy area in the center of the display (instead of the sharp but less wide Samsung line), as we have already seen happening on Motorola’s Razr adopting the same gimmick. For this reason, the Korean giant has probably continued to insist on the same path until now.
