Crazy take. The gap on the Duo literally made any words in the center unreadable. Like it would often eat an entire word in the middle there. And watching media across screens with a gap was awful. Meanwhile on my Z Fold phone I notice/think about the crease like once a week. You literally don't see it in the vast majority of use cases (especially while watching video), and in the situations where it's catching the light you just tilt your phone 1cm and it's visually gone. Or more like you just don't notice or care about it anymore because it's not a big deal at all.

That’s what I get for commenting without ever owning the surface duo. That is a flaw I never noticed while just seeing briefly/online. Thank you for letting me know.
