Samsung has officially announced the new Flex Titanium technology for flexible displays. It is designed to significantly improve the company's foldable smartphones. The presentation took place a week before the Galaxy Unpacked exhibition in London. The new product will debut in the expected Galaxy Z Flip 8 and Z Fold 8 models. The premium version of the Z Fold Ultra will also receive this technology. The construction uses a special film made of durable titanium alloy. A reliable titanium plate is also used inside the display structure. This allows for a perfect balance of fineness, flexibility, and overall strength. The device has become much better able to withstand accidental bumps and falls. The manufacturer claims a noticeable decrease in the visibility of the central fold. However, the company honestly admits that the crease does not disappear completely.

Interestingly, Samsung is very enthusiastic about the release of the first foldable iPhone. According to reliable rumors, Samsung Display has already signed a three-year supply contract. The company will supply flexible screens for the upcoming iPhone Ultra device. Samsung Display Vice President Byung Duk Yang made an important public statement. He noted that the entry of large competitors only expands the market. New players are helping to make the folding device format a mass standard. Thus, the total number of owners of such gadgets will grow steadily. Samsung understands that it is quite difficult to popularize this segment alone. Now the Apple brand's credibility must attract new customers to this niche.

Apple's first foldable smartphone is expected to be very expensive. The minimum price of the device can be at least two thousand dollars. This amount may increase further due to the rise in price of memory components. The high cost of drives forces manufacturers to raise prices for the entire line. Even with a less noticeable crease, such a price will hit the budget hard. It is difficult for consumers to justify spending a large amount on a gadget with rapid obsolescence. Nevertheless, fierce competition between brands will accelerate the development of technology. In the future, folding screens will become even more reliable and accessible to everyone.
