The crease isnt straight anymore and it's been like this for a bit

[SammyTabGuy]

So basically my z fold 5 has these areas where the crease isnt straight anymore. I dont think its necessarily a bulge but I am concerned. Is this normal or should I replace the phone?

Replace it with what?

It almost 3 years old if you bought it around launch time.

Fold 7 is just around the corner!

I might go with an iPad Mini. Samsung doesnt make any iPad Mini equivalent tablets anymore.

I am currently rocking an s24 ultra so this isnt the biggest concern.

The pad mini is a hunk of junk with a 60hz screen that has jelly scoll.

Yeah we dont have any other options in the US. There is the Lenovo Legion Tab and the specs are great but its the same price I got the fold for and it lacks Samsung ecosystem features.

Yeah im not sure what to do atm

it's not normal, you can take to samsung service center or just simply trade in it to upcoming Fold 7, or just do fold 6 before anything bad happen to your fold 5

personally i will just go to fold 6 before anything bad happen

I got it used and unfortunately I can't afford to upgrade at the moment 😞
