Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra Shrinks the Display Crease to Near Zero: Leaked Video

A new hands-on video of the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra just leaked online, and it shows that Samsung has finally fixed the most annoying issue with foldable phones. A tech insider posted footage of a fully working device, giving us a clear look at the hardware from multiple angles. The biggest news here is that the notorious screen crease down the middle of the display is now almost entirely gone in Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra.

The leaked clip shows someone opening and closing the phone, playing videos, and tilting the display under the light. Last year’s model already did a great job of making the chassis super thin. However, you could still easily see and feel the dip in the center of the glass.

This new version completely changes the game with a much shallower hinge design that makes the inner panel look incredibly flat. Spotting the missing crease According to the leaked footage (by Instant Digital on Weibo), you can now only see the crease if you hold the phone at extreme angles directly under bright, harsh lights. When you are using the phone normally or watching a video, the display looks just as smooth as a regular smartphone screen.

Running your finger across the middle won’t feel like moving over a speed bump anymore. This new design is part of a bigger strategy change for Samsung. The Ultra model is taking over the ultra-slim form factor we saw last year.

On the flip side, the standard Galaxy Z Fold 8—which hasn’t leaked at all yet—is reportedly shifting to a much wider body to compete with the wide-folding designs coming from other big tech brands. Primarily, Samsung hopes to tackle the arrival of the foldable iPhone Ultra this year. The Android Headlines Take For a long time, we assumed that the crease on foldable displays was a downside we simply had to accept if we wanted to enjoy this technology.

However, developments over the last year show that these displays could soon look and feel as clean as a traditional phone screen. OPPO pioneered this with the Find N6 (Review) and its impressive “Zero-Feel Crease” technology. However, I have high expectations for what a pioneer in foldable display technology like Samsung can achieve in terms of hiding the crease.

For Samsung, it’s crucial to excel in the area, as leaks suggest Apple plans to offer significant advancements in foldable display technology for the iPhone Ultra. If a “newcomer” like Apple surpassed the South Korean giant in their very first attempt, they would look foolish.
