I've used them. The crease is not unnoticeable. Sure, you may forget it's there after a while, but it is still there. And that's not what I was talking about. Specifically, the delamination that tends to occur after extended use. That's the issue they need to figure out. And to your camera point: my phone has a cutout, and I hate it. It always gets in the way. Yes, I get used to it, but it's there, and it blocks a small part of the screen.
My point with all of this, is not that these folding phones suck and shouldn't be made just because it has a crease. I hate the notch. I can't stand the crease. This doesn't mean they bother you. My point, however, is that unless this is actually new, it's not new and is, therefore, irrelevant.
Edit: as an aside, I've owned a Xiaomi, and it was the worst phone I have ever used. Actually, it was awesome for about 5 months, then started degrading, then turned itself off randomly after the 6-month time. I had to replace it after 6 months. To give perspective, I keep phones for years. The phone before that Xiaomi lasted 5 years, before it started having battery issues.
Modern flip foldables? Like 2023/24 releases? The razr 40 was a massive improvement in terms of the crease and all flips released since seem to have caught up.
Unfortunately, no. The last one I've used was last year's Samsung flip. Z Flip 5, I think. I really want to try the Razr 40, though, and the Pixel Fold.
