TL;DR

Samsung’s about to launch a trio of new foldable phones, including the Fold 8 and Flip 8.

Rumors have already suggested these devices could feature virtually creaseless display panels.

Samsung now details how it plans to achieve this with its new Flex Titanium tech.

Samsung’s new foldables are on their way. The Galaxy Z Fold 8, Z Fold 8 Ultra, and the Z Flip 8 have already leaked six ways from Sunday, and in just a little over a week, we’ll finally see all three go official at July 22’s Unpacked event . Ahead of that formal debut, we’re still very interested in learning more about exactly what makes this next generation of foldables special, and tonight Samsung is shining the spotlight on its latest advancement: Flex Titanium .

Building a good foldable phone means solving all sorts of tricky engineering problems, from keeping thickness down to finding room for batteries, but top on that list has got to be nailing the look and feel of the foldable display panel itself. One of the biggest challenges there has been minimizing the impact of any kind of crease in the middle, and delivering an expansive screen that still rivals non-foldables for quality. We already heard rumors that Samsung had cooked up a clever “creaseless” solution for the Fold 8 and the rest of this year’s lineup, and now the company’s explaining just how it’s doing that.
