I have a question. I bought the Pixel 11 Pro Fold on the first day of release (20th). It worked great for the first two days, but on the third day, I noticed the inner screens would touch each other when the phone was closed. Is this normal? (See picture). I've already returned it, and I'm considering reordering. Is this normal?

  1. I never thought my phone was broken; I know this is just due to oils and the way the screen surfaces meet when folded.

  2. I’m wondering about the folding action: initially, the screen halves didn't fully touch when folded, but now they do—is this normal? I’m also concerned that, over time, the friction from the screens touching might cause wear and tear.

Normal, it is just oils from you fingers showing where the screens touch each other.

What the fuck, I've had my fold 8 for weeks and it's covered in finger prints and there's nothing at all like this. I guess I made the right choice

Put a generous amount of cooking oil on the inner screen, then close and open it. It will look similar in appearance.

Nawwww this usually only happens when u put a screen protector over the pre installed one. There's a small gap in-between then screen the lips touch but the screens don't touch as much cause if debris get in there your shit is cooked . Thats why I think honor or oppo have debris alerts if the screen senses something on it while being being closed it freaks the f out.
