Apple’s iPhone Ultra tipped to be crease-free with a liquid-metal hinge

Apple’s iPhone Ultra is rumored to debut as a crease-free foldable thanks to a liquid-metal hinge and a flat-fold display stack, delivering a 7.8-inch inner panel with a 4:3 aspect ratio. It reportedly uses a side-mounted Touch ID, an A20 Pro chip on a 2nm process with 12GB RAM, and foldable-friendly software APIs. The device is said to be announced at a Sept. 8–9 keynote and go on sale Sept. 18 at a price above $2,000 (potentially up to $2,500), with supply likely to be limited at launch and production targets around 10 million units based on leaks.

Razr Fold's Extreme AMOLED display sets a new standard for foldables

Android Central lauds the Motorola Razr Fold's Extreme AMOLED displays for impressive brightness and true 10‑bit color, while prioritizing eye comfort with DC dimming, a fast PWM rate, and a Flicker Prevention option. The guide shows how to tune settings (disable PWM, enable Flicker Prevention, pick Natural color, 60/120Hz refresh, Night Light/Extra Dim) to reduce eye strain, arguing this makes the Razr Fold the most eye‑friendly North American foldable against Google Pixel Fold and Samsung Galaxy Z Fold—though some caveats like potential color shifts and grain at low brightness remain.

"Assessing the Design Vulnerability of the Google Pixel Fold: A Review"

A review unit of the Google Pixel Fold failed after just four days of use, with the display breaking down and a white gradient growing across the screen. The issue appears to be caused by debris entering a small exposed strip of the OLED panel not protected by film or flexible ultra-thin glass. The "fold flat" design of the Pixel Fold could exacerbate the issue, making it more vulnerable than other foldable devices. The incident raises concerns about the robustness of foldable displays, which are designed to be flexible and not as thick or strong as glass covering regular smartphones.
