<\/a>Leaked foldable iPhone Ultra case.<\/p>\n

Ahead of the anticipated July 22 launch, Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Z Fold 8 Ultra are rumored to feature a massive display upgrade, with leaks suggesting a near-invisible, “zero-feel” crease on par with the Oppo Find N6 and perhaps even the foldable iPhone Ultra.<\/p>\n

After seeing the leaked design model<\/a> of the Galaxy Z Fold 8, we are now learning that the most persistent criticism of Samsung\u2019s foldable lineup, the visible and tactile display crease, may finally be going away (or almost). <\/p>\n

One of the most prolific industry leaksters has just reported that the latest test units for the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 8 series feature a “significantly improved” crease that is “just as impressive” as the solution found on the Oppo Find N6. <\/p>\n

The update reportedly applies to both new models in Samsung’s 2026 Fold lineup, made of the\u00a0Galaxy Z Fold 8<\/a>\u00a0(allegedly, the new, wider Fold), and the\u00a0Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra<\/a>\u00a0(the taller, narrower successor to the Fold 7).<\/p>\n

\n\tUpcoming Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Z Fold 8 Ultra might get the crease-less display fans wanted since the launch of the Galaxy Fold in 2019; foldable iPhone Ultra to tag along<\/p>\n

The Oppo Find N6<\/a> is currently the industry benchmark, utilizing a specialized hinge<\/a> and display technology to achieve a near-invisible and “zero-feel” surface. If Samsung has successfully mirrored this engineering, it would mark a massive leap forward for the series. <\/p>\n

Earlier rumors were skeptical of any crease improvements, but the tipster says those reports were based on early, non-final prototypes. Samsung is expected to officially unveil the new Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Fold 8 Ultra at its Unpacked event, said to take place on July 22. <\/p>\n

Of course, there\u2019s another phone that\u2019s reported to get very close to the crease-less display dream and that\u2019s Apple\u2019s upcoming foldable iPhone Ultra<\/a>, which (rumor has it) is on track for a September launch<\/a> despite a number of trial production issues<\/a>.<\/p>\n
