The Galaxy Z Fold 8 could finally get rid of one of the worst things about foldables

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-02-19 03:08:07

Hadlee Simons / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 8 will apparently use the same “laser-drilled display metal plates” as the foldable iPhone. These parts reportedly enable a crease-free screen on Apple’s device, suggesting the Z Fold 8 won’t have a display crease, either. This would be a major step forward for the industry, as all foldable phones to date have a crease. Samsung has just launched the Galaxy Z Fold 7, which has a dramatically thinner and lighter form factor than p

The year before his death in 1994, Gary Kildall—inventor of the early microcomputer operating system CP/M—wrote a draft of a memoir, “Computer Connections: People, Places, and Events in the Evolution of the Personal Computer Industry.” He distributed copies to family and friends, but died before realizing his plans to release it as a book. This week, the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, with the permission of Kildall’s children, released the first portion of that memoir. You can downlo

Samsung may have accidentally revealed its tri-fold’s name, and it’s not very exciting

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-02-21 11:54:45

TL;DR Samsung has filed a trademark for its upcoming triple-screen foldable. The filing reveals the name “Galaxy Z TriFold,” but we’re skeptical of this being final. The foldable is rumored to launch in October, but with availability limited to China and South Korea. Samsung’s progress on a new style of foldable with three inner screen faces instead of two is no longer a secret. It has repeatedly teased the new shape and even showcased a working prototype at Mobile World Congress 2025 of what

We now have a better idea of when the Samsung tri-fold will launch

Samsung TL;DR A long-time leaker claims that Samsung will launch its first triple-screen foldable or tri-fold device in September. This comes a week after Samsung’s mobile head said the company wants to launch the device before the end of 2025. Samsung’s tri-fold is said to offer a Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, a 10-inch folding screen, and the same rear cameras as the Z Fold 7. Samsung‘s mobile chief confirmed last week that the company aims to launch its first triple-screen foldable phone (also

Zelda’s new live-action stars could be around for a long time

theverge.com Jay Peters 2026-02-23 02:30:50

Nintendo just announced the two leads of its live-action Legend of Zelda film, and unlike the celebrity-packed Mario movie cast, Zelda will star two young, lesser-known actors: Bo Bragason as Zelda and Benjamin Evan Ainsworth as Link. You may not have heard of them, but there’s a good chance they’re going to be a part of the franchise for a while. Choosing stars who are in their teens (Ainsworth) and early 20s (Bragason) makes a lot of sense. In the games, even the “older” Links and Zeldas are

Benjamin Evan Ainsworth must be really good at saying 'hup' over and over. Nintendo has revealed the two lead actors for its live-action The Legend of Zelda movie. Bo Bragason is playing the title character, Princess Zelda, while Benjamin Evan Ainsworth is taking on the role of Link, series creator Shigeru Miyamoto announced on X. The performers are around the right ages for their parts — Bragason was born in 2004 while Ainsworth is 16. These are by far the biggest roles to date for both actor

Can Apple Actually Make a Foldable iPhone With a ‘Crease-Free’ Display?

gizmodo.com Raymond Wong 2026-02-26 11:21:22

Samsung has set the bar high for foldables with its latest Galaxy Z Fold 7. The book-style foldable really is jaw-dropping. Apple’s answer to it with a foldable iPhone needs to be even better. But how? Apple supply chain snoop Ming-Chi Kuo believes Apple’s rumored foldable iPhone could come with a “crease-free display”… made by Samsung. Yes, really. You see, as thin, light, and sleek as the Z Fold 7 is, the crease running down the 8-inch folding screen is still visible. Samsung says the display

Galaxy Z Fold 7 vs. Z Fold 6: Slimmer Body, Bigger Screens and Slightly Higher Price

At Samsung Unpacked in July, the phonemaker introduced its most advanced foldable yet: the Galaxy Z Fold 7. It supersedes last year's Galaxy Z Fold 6 with upgrades big and small (or rather, big and thin), but how exactly do they compare? Here's the Galaxy Z Fold 7 vs. Galaxy Z Fold 6 specs comparison.
