This new foldable phone may have upstaged Apple in the 'zero-crease' wars

"Folding phones are cool, but the creases in their inner screens are undeniable imperfections. Whether it's capacity with music players, user interface with smartphones, or the overall form factor with tablets, Apple tends to avoid making products with clear compromises in their defining elements."

"I thought last year's Find N5 was the best foldable phone on the market, at least if you could get your hands on it-Oppo only sold it in China and South East Asia. At launch it was the thinnest smartphone available anywhere, and Oppo made some bold claims about its "almost invisible" crease."

"This time Oppo is marketing the Find N6 as having a "Zero-Feel Crease." I've been using this phone for a week, and I would still say "zero" is an exaggeration-but only a slight one. The N6's screen is a big improvement on the N5's, which was already well ahead of competitors."

Apple's rumored folding phone is expected to launch this fall with a notably less visible display crease than competitors, reflecting the company's typical prioritization of eliminating compromises in product design. Folding phones remain imperfect due to their inner screen creases, which has likely delayed Apple's market entry. Oppo has unveiled the Find N6, addressing the crease problem through innovative engineering. The Find N6 represents a substantial improvement over Oppo's previous Find N5 model, which was already considered the best foldable phone available. While Oppo markets the N6 as having a "Zero-Feel Crease," the claim is slightly exaggerated, though the improvement is significant and nearly imperceptible to users.
