Samsung’s Revolutionary Foldable Phone: A New Standard?
According to DealSite, Samsung is planning to accomplish something often attributed to Apple: releasing a foldable smartphone without a visible crease on the screen or at least with a significantly less noticeable one. To achieve this, the Korean giant intends to create a display with two layers of ultra-thin protective glass (UTG). This glass will be positioned both on top of and below the display panel. Such a design is expected to make the crease at least 20% less prominent. It seems this solution will be applied to the Galaxy Z Fold8 model.
Recent Technology Showcases and Developments
At CES 2026, Samsung showcased a foldable screen with no visible crease, though this technology remains quite complex and expensive. However, the UTG glass is less costly and is a familiar material that Samsung has been using in all of its foldable smartphones for several years. It remains unclear if the double layer of glass will impact any other screen characteristics.
Industry experts have noted that the durability of Samsung’s UTG technology could significantly enhance the usability of future foldable phones, making them more appealing to consumers wary of the fragility often associated with such devices. This latest iteration not only promises aesthetic improvements but may also bolster the phone’s structural integrity.
The company’s presence at CES 2026 highlighted advancements that could set new benchmarks in the realm of foldable technology, showcasing not only ambition but tangible progress in mitigating the creasing problem that has long been a challenge in the market.
