Overview
- Samsung announced its new Flex Titanium display architecture for upcoming foldables, describing an ultra‑thin titanium‑alloy film beneath the OLED and a titanium plate under the display module to give the panel more stiffness and support.
- The company claims the titanium film is about 20 times stiffer than the plastic film it replaces and measures less than 30% the thickness of a human hair, which Samsung says should reduce visible creases and improve perceived durability.
- Near‑complete leaks from outlets citing WinFuture and other tipsters outline two book‑style foldables — a wider Galaxy Z Fold 8 and a taller Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra — plus a Z Flip 8, with reported inner displays, batteries of roughly 4,800 mAh and 5,000 mAh, and upgraded cameras on the Ultra.
- Leaked pricing suggests European starts near €1,999 for the wide Fold and €2,199 for the Ultra, and Samsung has opened reservations in multiple markets offering regional incentives ahead of the July 22 event.
- Samsung did not claim Flex Titanium raises the official fold‑cycle rating and full test results, confirmed specs, repair costs and final pricing will be revealed at Galaxy Unpacked on July 22.
