Three Weeks With Galaxy Z Fold 8 Reshapes My Take

After three weeks with the Galaxy Z Fold 8, my take has shifted: the cameras are solid and Nightography is improved over the Fold 7, though the lack of a telephoto remains an issue for some; for real zoom you might prefer the S26 Ultra or Pixel 11 Pro Fold. The hinge still limits laptop-style use (no Flex View), but the outer display and tent mode are convenient, and trade-in deals can drop the price by up to $1,000. Overall this is the best Fold yet, with a brighter main screen and lighter design that justifies the premium.

Z Fold8 Durability Test: Flex Titanium Screen Improves Strength, Inner Display Still Scratches

JerryRigEverything's durability test for the Galaxy Z Fold8 shows the new Flex Titanium screen strengthens the folding display and may reduce the crease, but the inner display remains scratch-prone due to its plastic top layer. The outer cover uses Gorilla Glass Ceramic 3 for better scratch resistance, while the refined hinge helps keep sand out during the sand test. The video also covers the 4:3 inner-display aspect ratio and compares the Fold8 to the Fold8 Ultra.

Apple Foldable iPhone Ultra Hinge Woes Push Launch Toward 2027, Leaks Claim

A supply-chain leak claims Apple’s foldable iPhone Ultra (aka Fold) has a crease-free display but hinges fail durability tests, potentially delaying trial production indefinitely. If Apple resolves the hinge issues on time, the device could debut with the iPhone 18 Pro in September (with a 2nm A20 Pro and Apple Intelligence); otherwise, the launch could slip to 2027.

"Inside Look: OnePlus Unveils Titanium Components in Teardown"

A recent teardown video of the OnePlus Open foldable phone reveals that while OnePlus marketed a titanium hinge, the titanium is actually used only in the hinge screws, not in the wider hinge construction itself. The teardown also highlights the carbon fiber screen backing and other weight-saving material choices used in the device. Despite the marketing discrepancy, the OnePlus Open is praised for its lightweight design, durability, and ability to mitigate the foldable screen crease.

"Unveiling the OnePlus Open: Hinge, Screen, Durability, and More!"

A new video showcasing the OnePlus Open foldable phone reveals its hinge design and screen crease situation. The device's hinge design is derived from the Oppo Fold N2, and it is essentially the same device as Oppo's next book-style foldable. The video highlights the relatively clean crease of the OnePlus Open compared to other foldables like the Pixel Fold and Galaxy Z Fold 5. The device undergoes durability tests, including drops, bend tests, and water resistance. The OnePlus Open is set to debut on October 19 with top-end specs and a promising entry into the foldable space.

"Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold and Flip 5: Latest Updates and Release Rumors"

The upcoming Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 is expected to have a less visible crease on its foldable display thanks to a new waterdrop hinge design, which will also allow the phone to fold perfectly flat without leaving a gap between the two halves. The crease will reportedly be "only 15% less visible" than the Z Fold 4's crease. The Z Fold 5 is also rumored to be the first foldable phone with an IP5x dust resistance rating. While it may not be a revolutionary release, Samsung is slowly upgrading the user experience across the board.

Samsung's Galaxy Z Flip 5: Slimmer, Faster, and with a Larger Cover Screen.

Samsung is reportedly working on a thinner and lighter Galaxy Z Fold 5, which is expected to weigh around 250g, 13g lighter than the Galaxy Z Fold 4. The new hinge design will be smaller and lighter, and curve the glass in a waterdrop shape, eliminating the display crease. The phone is also said to be a full millimeter thinner. The focus for this model was on size and weight reduction, and it will not include an S Pen silo.
