A Samsung Galaxy Fold - or a phone that looks just like it - that's somehow out in the wild before its April 26 release date is showing signs of creasing, according to a recent video posted on the tech YouTube channel "phoneoftime."
Samsung is using its new "Infinity Flex" display that's made of plastic for its upcoming Galaxy Fold smartphone, whereas most non-folding smartphones use glass. It's possible that plastic could start to crease after being folded and unfolded numerous times.

To address the creasing issue, Samsung is apparently considering a free display replacement program for Galaxy Fold owners.
Samsung denied that it didn't allow hands-on time with the Galaxy Fold at the company's unveiling event because of issues with creasing displays. The company told Bloomberg it didn't want to take the attention away from its new Galaxy S10 smartphones.
Apart from the crease, the video shows the purported Galaxy Fold in actual real-world usage. You can check it out below:
