en.Wedoany.com Reported - Samsung, after years of collaboration with Sony on Spider-Man, unveiled the new foldable phones Galaxy Z Flip 8 and Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra a few days after the July 22 Galaxy Unpacked event in London, simultaneously announcing Flex Titanium technology. The advertisement stars actor Jacob Batalon, who plays Ned, and uses lighting effects to partially conceal the design of the standard Galaxy Z Fold 8, deliberately avoiding early spoilers.
The ad humorously showcases the durability of the new device: Peter Parker collects broken phones in a cardboard box, highlighting the screen durability of the new generation. Samsung's new smartwatch also appears unobstructed in the ad, confirming the previously leaked design style.
The Flex Titanium technology announced by Samsung this time, developed over seven generations of Galaxy foldable phones, integrates two titanium components into the panel structure. One is a titanium alloy film located beneath the OLED panel, with mechanical stiffness 20 times that of previous polymer films and a thickness only about one-third of a human hair. The other is a titanium plate with micro-perforations in the folding area, eliminating the air gap between the screen module and the adhesive layer, resulting in a more stable surface when unfolded. Kyung-Jin Yoo, Executive Vice President and Head of the Mobile Display Product Development Team at Samsung Display, stated that by introducing precise micro-perforation patterns in the folding area of the titanium plate, a combination of flexibility and robust durability has been achieved.
Bernardo Cunha, Head of Mobile Business Strategy and Product Marketing at Samsung Portugal, stated that Samsung's strength in the foldable field stems from combining user needs with technology to bring tangible benefits to users in daily life. The next-generation Galaxy foldable phones bring screen innovations based on years of experience to enhance the user experience.
The practical effects of the Flex Titanium solution include improving the durability of the inner screen and reducing the visibility of creases at the fold. On social media, leaker Ice Universe compared the importance of Flex Titanium to the Ultra Thin Glass technology that originally enabled foldable phones. The standard Galaxy Z Fold 8 is expected to feature a new design, being wider and shorter when folded, with a more horizontal inner screen ratio, similar to the aspect ratio of a passport. Full pricing, availability, and specifications will be announced at the Galaxy Unpacked event in London on July 22.
