Samsung Reinforces Foldable Screens With Titanium-Alloy Layer

Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 8 launches July 22 with a titanium-alloy film beneath the OLED display—20 times stiffer than previous polymer layers and thinner than a human hair. The film sits atop a titanium plate to stabilize the fold mechanism. Samsung claims improved durability, though independent structural testing will reveal real-world performance.
