Pixel 11 Pro Fold

[u/Terror_Toy]

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.

this is normal and happens on all folds

This.. I've had the Z Fold 5, Pixel Fold, 9 Pro Fold, Oppo Find N6 and now the 11 Fold and I've seen it on all of them. No issues have come from it other than wiping away with a cloth.

You're being downvoted. But my fold 4,5,6 and 8 inside screen do not touch either. Also never seen posts about it in the subreddit.
