Samsung is preparing to announce the Galaxy Z Fold 8 series next week, and the focus in this new generation – specifically the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra model – is expected to be on clear improvements in internal display technologies.

Here are the five most anticipated updates to the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra's display compared to the previous generation:

Higher resolution for the foldable display

The internal display retains the same size (8 inches) and refresh rate, but the resolution is expected to increase from 2184 × 1968 pixels to 2504 × 2256 pixels.

This upgrade raises the pixel density from approximately 368 ppi to 422 ppi, directly impacting the clarity of text and images.

Greater display brightness

Reports indicate that the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra will feature a peak brightness of 3,000 nits, compared to 2,600 nits on the Z Fold 7.

This increase means clearer content display, especially in direct sunlight or when viewing HDR content.

Anti-reflective layer

Samsung will introduce an anti-reflective layer for the foldable display, helping to reduce reflections under strong lighting.

Although it may not match the effectiveness of the Gorilla Glass Armor layer used in its other flagship phones, it will improve the outdoor usage experience.

Flex Titanium technology

Samsung uses the new Flex Titanium hinge technology, which includes a layer of titanium alloy beneath the OLED panel, providing greater rigidity while maintaining thinness.

Assembly improvements and air gap treatment aim to make the screen crease nearly invisible.

Glass-like feel closer to traditional phones

The foldable display will feature an Ultra Thin Glass panel that is 33% thicker than the previous generation, increasing its pressure resistance and enhancing the glass-like feel closer to what users experience on non-foldable phones.

With these improvements, the Z Fold 8 Ultra's display is expected to become clearer, brighter, and easier to view in various conditions, while its usage experience will approach that of traditional phones, reducing the most prominent drawbacks of foldable screens, such as light reflections and the visible crease.
