Samsung previewed its new Flex Titanium technology for the next generation of Galaxy foldable devices, slated for launch at the Galaxy Unpacked event on July 22.
The technology incorporates structural and material advancements designed to increase durability while reducing visible crease on the foldable display.
It uses a titanium‑alloy film beneath the OLED panel and a titanium plate beneath the display module, together creating a balance of slimness, flexibility, and strength.
The titanium‑alloy film delivers mechanical stiffness twenty times greater than conventional polymer film and is manufactured through a precision rolling process that achieves a thickness roughly one‑third the width of a human hair.
The titanium plate supports the display module from below, allowing tighter bonding by eliminating air gaps through advanced hole‑processing technology; micro‑patterned holes provide flexibility while maintaining robust durability.
Samsung’s design approach reflects consumer feedback from seven generations of foldables, aiming to deliver a larger, more immersive viewing experience with less visible crease without compromising durability or portability.
Titanium offers the necessary blend of strength, flexibility, and thinness required for next‑generation foldable displays.
In a separate announcement, Samsung launched its 990 SSD worldwide, available in 1 TB and 2 TB capacities.
The SSD supports PCIe 4.0 and utilizes the latest NAND technology, offering sequential read speeds up to 7,250 MB/s for the 2 TB model and 7,150 MB/s for the 1 TB model, with write speeds up to 6,450 MB/s.
Random access performance peaks at 850,000 read and 1,200,000 write IOPS for the 2 TB model, and 700,000 read and 1,100,000 write IOPS for the 1 TB model.
Compared with the previous 990 PRO model, the new SSD improves power efficiency by up to 38%.
