The new panel was shown next to a \u201cregular\u201d foldable display from the Galaxy Z Fold 7, and the difference is immediately noticeable. The display crease, even at an off-angle, is practically invisible. A video showing the display (below) leaves a little bit of a look at a crease, but it\u2019s not bad at all.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"512\" width=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/samsung-crease-less-display-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-700674\"  \/><\/p>\n<p>It seems likely that this is the sort of display Samsung might want to bring to a future foldable, perhaps even the Galaxy Z Fold 8, but it could also be something Apple is looking to use in its future iPhone foldable. <\/p>\n<p>But it seems like Samsung didn\u2019t mean to show this off.<\/p>\n<p>\tAdvertisement &#8211; scroll for more content<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/news\/856141\/samsung-display-creaseless-panel-foldable-iphone-ces\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">The Verge<\/a> later noticed that this crease-less showcase was nowhere to be found, and while Samsung acknowledged the panel\u2019s existence, the company didn\u2019t explain why it had been removed from display. Samsung said:<\/p>\n<p>The foldable panel showcased at the booth was an R&amp;D concept, with no fixed timeline or plan for commercialization.<\/p>\n<p>So, what\u2019s next? It\u2019s possible this could still land in a future device, but it doesn\u2019t really sound like Samsung plans to use it imminently.<\/p>\n<p>More from CES 2026:<\/p>\n<p>Follow Ben:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NexusBen\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Twitter\/X<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.threads.net\/@nexusben\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Threads<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/nexusben.com\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Bluesky<\/a>, and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/nexusben\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Instagram<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\t\t<a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/google.com\/preferences\/source?q=https:\/\/9to5google.com\" aria-label=\"Add 9to5Google as a preferred source on Google\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"google-preferred-source-badge-dark\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/google-preferred-source-badge-dark.png\" alt=\"Add 9to5Google as a preferred source on Google\"\/><br \/>\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"google-preferred-source-badge-light\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/google-preferred-source-badge-light.png\" alt=\"Add 9to5Google as a preferred source on Google\"\/><br \/>\n\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"disclaimer-affiliate\">FTC: We use income earning auto affiliate links. <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/about\/#affiliate\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">More.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t<script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"At CES 2026, Samsung briefly showed off a new crease-less display panel for foldables that\u2019s seemingly ready for&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":220498,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[342,111,139,69,145],"class_list":{"0":"post-220497","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-mobile","8":"tag-mobile","9":"tag-new-zealand","10":"tag-newzealand","11":"tag-nz","12":"tag-technology"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/220497","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=220497"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/220497\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/220498"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=220497"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=220497"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=220497"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
