Samsung's new foldables will debut new Flex Titanium display on July 22

It's an open secret in the tech world that Samsung will likely debut the Galaxy Z Flip 8, Z Fold 8, and new Z Fold Wide at its Galaxy Unpacked event in London on July 22.

And on Tuesday, the company confirmed in a press release that its next-gen Galaxy foldable devices will debut soon with a new Flex Titanium display structure. In its announcement, Samsung said the new Flex Titanium technology will provide foldable phones with "enhanced durability and reduced crease visibility."

"The new Flex Titanium technology will debut with Samsung’s next-generation Galaxy foldable devices. Further details will be unveiled at Galaxy Unpacked on July 22," the press release stated. The announcement all but confirms the long-rumored focus of the Galaxy Unpacked event, which lines up with Samsung's previous foldable phone launch timeline.

As the name suggests, Flex Titanium uses titanium components to support bending displays.

Specifically, the new hardware tech employs a titanium-alloy film underneath the OLED panel, as well as a titanium plate underneath the film. Samsung said the titanium film sits "below the OLED panel" and offers "20 times greater mechanical stiffness than plastic films while measuring less than 30% the thickness of a human hair, enabling a slimmer display panel." In Samsun said theaddition, the titanium plate supports "the display module from beneath, eliminating air gaps between the module and adhesive for more stable support when unfolded, while retaining the flexibility needed for repeated folding."

The idea is to make phones that can withstand thousands of folds over multiple years, while providing a quality viewing experience for users who don't want to see a big, ugly crease in the middle of the screen. For what it's worth, in the last couple of years, flagship Samsung foldables have mostly fixed the crease problem already, but we're still excited to see how Samsung can alleviate it further.

It hopefully won't be long before we get a real first look at those devices, as the London Unpacked event is just one week away.
