 "Samsung may finally have solution to the crease issue of its foldable devices")
One of the biggest hindrances for anyone looking to get into a foldable smartphone would be the pesky crease that appears when the device is fully opened, Samsung might be about to change your mind. Imagine paying one of the highest prices for a smartphone, and yet having to deal with something like that. Not for long, though…
Rumour has it that the upcoming Special Edition of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 will have a much less noticeable crease, a significant improvement for fans of foldable tech.
This exciting news comes from well-known leaker Ice Universe, who has a solid track record when it comes to Samsung rumours. According to the leak, the crease control on the new Special Edition Galaxy Z Fold 6 is “better than ever,” signalling a breakthrough in foldable screen technology. While this Special Edition model might be limited to South Korea and China, it bodes well for future foldable phones, particularly the widely anticipated Galaxy Z Fold 7.
The improvement could be attributed to Samsung’s potential use of Ultra Flexible Glass (UFG) for the first time, as suggested by industry expert Ross Young. This high-strength glass is reportedly thinner around the crease, which should give the phone a more seamless look when opened.
Samsung has been working on foldable display technology since the launch of the first Galaxy Fold back in 2019, but the crease has remained a consistent issue across foldable phones. Even on some of the top models, such as the Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold and the OnePlus Open, the crease is still visible, though some, like OnePlus, have managed to make it less noticeable.
It appears that Samsung has made steady progress each year, and this latest development could be a major step forward in reducing the visual disruption caused by the crease. This improvement could be a reason to get excited about future foldable phones, especially considering that the crease has been cited as one of the reasons we haven’t yet seen a folding iPhone.

This slimmed-down design could be another key feature in making the creaseless noticeable, offering a more polished and premium foldable experience.
The Special Edition is expected to launch in the coming months, and while it may be exclusive to a few regions, it indicates a promising future for Samsung’s foldable devices. If these rumours hold true, Samsung may have cracked the code to solve one of the biggest issues plaguing foldable phones today.
