Pixel Fold doesn't unfold perfectly flat, but it might not be a big deal

The Pixel Fold doesn't unfold perfectly flat, and there's a good explanation for that - here's what you need to know.

The Pixel Fold unfolds flat, but you’ll need a bit of effort to get there. Apparently, the Pixel Fold doesn’t unfold flat because of that high-friction hinge. It’s a compromise Google had to accept.: The massive top and bottom bezels. The hinge mechanism is also to blame for this one:

Google’s hinge design makes for a thinner phone but moves much of the hinge mechanism from under the display into the end caps at the top and bottom. Wider bezels were required to maintain symmetry with those modules.When folded, the Pixel Fold does have a gap between the screen and the case at the hinge. Google managed to waterproof it by dividing the handset into two halves. Each of them is water resistant. Then, “the hinge area can free-flood,” the YouTuber said.

The result is a crease that's somewhere between those extremes w/r/t visibility. The reflectivity of the display amplifies it.
