Unlock the Future of Smartphones: Galaxy Fold 6 SE to Address Long-Overdue Problem, But UK Fans Must Wait

The Crease Conundrum: Can Samsung’s Latest Z Fold Update Negate the Display Crease?

For too long, the display crease on Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold series has been a topic of contention. But, according to new reports, Samsung might have finally found a way to negate the crease in its next update, set to debut in select markets later this month.

Less Visible Crease?

Sources close to the matter claim that the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold update will feature a significantly less visible display crease down the center of the fold. This is thanks to a new display technology that promises to minimize the crease’s impact. The update is said to be exclusive to a couple of key Asian markets, leaving Samsung fans in the West wondering when they might get to experience this improved design for themselves.

Universe Ice’s Insights

Famous leaker Universe Ice, known for his accurate Samsung scoops, tweeted that the new Galaxy Z Fold6 special edition boasts "better-than-ever" crease control. Meanwhile, industry expert Ross Young believes Samsung is migrating its display tech to Ultra Flexible Glass (UFG) to achieve this feat.

UFG: The Potential Savior?

UFG is a renowned for its variable thickness, making it thinner at the center seam, which should result in a less noticeable crease. Young’s statement suggests this technology might be the key to a crease-free experience. In his tweet, Young specifically mentioned the use of UFG for the first time, hinting at its potential to revolutionize the foldable screen.

A Step in the Right Direction?

While Samsung has continued to improve the Galaxy Z Fold series, the display crease remains a sticking point. Our reviewer noted that the latest Galaxy Z6 Fold’s crease is "still very noticeable," causing us to remark that for a device that costs $1,899, "it’s something I would rather do without." If Samsung can successfully iron out this crease, it may just convert some foldable skeptics.

While this update might be limited to specific markets, it could set the tone for future Galaxy Z Fold models. For now, we’ll have to wait and see if this breakthrough in crease control will be available to the masses come next summer.
