The Galaxy Z Fold 7 is miles better looking than the original Z Fold models from years ago, but a small crease is still evident (pictured above). On these new \u201cAdvanced Crease-less\u201d panels, there\u2019s no crease at all.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Creaseless-Samsung-Z-Fold-8.jpg\" data-slb-active=\"1\" data-slb-asset=\"545114433\" data-slb-internal=\"0\" data-slb-group=\"313011\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-313013\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=\" http:=\"\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" data-wp-pid=\"313013\" data-lazy- data-lazy- data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Creaseless-Samsung-Z-Fold-8.jpg\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>So how did Samsung figure this out? According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/mingchikuo\/status\/1945871948468404342\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">info out there<\/a>, which ties this technology to requirements set forth by Apple for its foldable iPhone, the new OLED panel is paired with a laser-drilled metal plate. This design allows Samsung engineers to disperse folding stress and achieve a crease-free display.<\/p>\n<p>Samsung doesn\u2019t specifically detail which device this panel is being deigned for. It could ultimately be headed to the upcoming foldable iPhone, but we have to assume that Apple wouldn\u2019t appreciate that? Regardless of which device it\u2019s coming to, the fact that we now have crease-less foldable panels is just plain awesome. This is sure to get a few more people on board the foldable train.<\/p>\n<p>Dope, right?<\/p>\n<p>\/\/ <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sammobile.com\/news\/samsung-crease-less-foldable-oled-panel-showcased-z-fold-8\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">SamMobile<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Samsung is taking an opportunity at CES 2026 to show off what could be a mighty improvement for&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":230817,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[342,111,139,69,145],"class_list":{"0":"post-230816","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\/230816","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=230816"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/230816\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/230817"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=230816"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=230816"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=230816"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
