I glanced at your icon and thought, "ha, looks like firewire400", then saw your username hahahahaha love it!

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.

If I may venture a guess:

There are four of these chips (1302, 1105, 1507, 1202). Someone, trying to speed-talk, referred to them as the "four thousand-series chips" (instead of the "four, one-thousand-series chips"), and someone misheard or misunderstood that as the "4000-series chips". After several levels of this telephone game, marketing got involved, and they were just renamed into the 4000 series instead of redoing the marketing documents.

Just a guess.

I have this one, and never got used to it. I should try again.

Reynolm is Microsoft in this instance.

Oh, you are correct. But this doesn't stop them from attempting to do so at every turn.

Honestly, I thought I was the only one, and I was always fearful of admitting this... I am among family here, it seems.

This is amazing!

Did they fix the screen crease? If not, then this release is irrelevant, as it brings nothing new to the table.

Edit: I really hope SOMEONE figures out the screen crease, because the concept of foldable phones is amazing. Just, poorly executed currently.

I'm sure there's something in the Microsoft tos that allows them to do this on any product. Kind of like how signing up for Disney+ prevents someone from suing Disney theme park over negligent homicide.

You mean... this guy might be on our horizons now?
