When I bought the phone I assumed I'll be using the big screen majority of the time but I find myself doing a lot of stuff on the outside screen. Maybe because the outside screen Has the same refresher rate as the big screen. I'm not sure but it is amazing

I'd like to point out that seeing the phone at store and using it daily is whole different story... Most people will find it non issue.. You will always have some that might not agree but that's the beauty of individual choices...

I'm sure the outside screen is fine, however if were to use the outside mostly I would probably just but an S series or Note. I think I will use the inside screen more often.

I, too, wonder about which screen I will use most. Obviously, the Fold platform is new to some of us. I would be interested to hear from those who had the OG and 2 as to what screen they use. Like most of these phone questions I'm sure that people will have different preferences, but I wonder if there is a consensus.

It's going depend how you use your device mainly. If I'm sitting down and using applications for extended periods, I will most likey use it unfolded. On the go, I think folded is the best option for quick things. I'm not the type that walks around staring at their phone so I'm referring to phone, calls, messages and maybe looking something up quick.

Agreed.

I anticipate using the cover screen primary and the inside screen when I'm able to use two hands and need more space. If I can do it on the outer screen, I will probably do it there first and then move to inside where needed. I've been wanting a mini-tablet and that's what I'd likely use it more for. Sometimes I want more space and my Tab S7+ is just too big to lug around all the time.

The great thing about the fold is we have options. Is it perfect at everything? Of course not, but I will enjoy it.

Just because you don't have an issue with it doesn't mean others won't have an issue with it. I've played with the Z Fold 3 at Best Buy and the crease was very visible. It's there.
Of course it's there. I just honestly don't see it when looking straight at the phone. Also depends on the lighting situation. If there are bright light sources to the left or right of the phone, the crease tends to minimally reflect that and becomes more visible.

All this talk of inside/outside screens. Not having much luck Googling. Would someone please describe what you are referring to?

Fold phones have front full screen when folded (basically like normal phone) and is referred as outside screen.

When you unfold it'll become a tablet which is the inside screen.

Ok, now that I've finally experienced the "crease" - I cannot believe that this has caused so much attention with people hating on it. LOL, I barely notice it's there! Yes in certain lighting and reflections but wow it doesn't bother me in the least. Maybe it's because it's still new to me?
