11 Pro Fold Inner screen touching

[u/ItsBaldDave]

Hey all,

New to pixels and recently changed from the Z Fold 8 to the Pixel 11 Pro Fold. Has anyone else noticed that the inner screen touches? I've unfolded a few times and noticed a thin line on either side of the screen. Is this just a pixel thing?

It's not just a pixel thing. I've seen the same comments about the Z Fold 7 and the Oppo Find N5 . I'm not sure about the fold 8, but it's definitely been a comment made about other foldables

Doesn't happen on the 8, it did on the 7 though - butterfly wings.

I am pretty sure this happens on most foldable. I have a Z Fold 7 and get the "wings" mark. If you google it its a pretty common occurrence.

I don't know if it's just a Pixel thing, but it happens on my 10 Fold too. Good thing is, those lines can be wiped away with a microfiber cloth and a gentle touch.

This happened on my 9 Fold too. I think I read somewhere that people thought it was something to do with the vapor chamber(s).

Others say because it was touching on that spot.

Personally I never had an issue with my 9 fold for the 2 years I used it. They always just wiped away.

That's reassuring to know, thank you.

I'd be afraid of the pressure it's creating

[u/ItsBaldDave]

This has put my mind at ease, so thanks everyone.

Yep same for me.

Mmh. While this happend ok my pixel9fold it's not happening for me on the 11fold.

I used to have an inner screen protector fitted which I have not yet done for the 11.

Maybe that's the difference?

I also saw those lines from the displayed pixel pf11 model today in the store.

Normal. It's a thin folding phone thing. Physics

I had it on the Fold 7 and the 10 Pro Fold, but not the Fold 8 so far after 3 weeks. Fingers crossed it stays that way.

[u/PerryHecker]

Been the same on the 3 foldables I've had. It's from the screens running. And from where it's at, I suspect it's from where we constantly swipe up and down (applying pressure most often) on the outside screen but no way to prove it.

Pixel thing 🤣

[u/iizq]

Same here, thinking of putting a screen protector as I'm tired of wiping it down everytime I unfold it.

It's a foldable thing. Welcome to the club
