The foldable phone crease might finally be dead. Samsung showed off a crease-free display on a mystery device at CES, hinting at a major shift for future models. Leaked pictures of a demo unit lying completely flat show no visible ridge in the screen. How they did it is still a secret, but it likely involves new ultra-thin flexible glass tech. This breakthrough comes as Apple is also reportedly hitting design milestones to eliminate the crease on its long-rumored iPhone Fold.

Both companies might be using similar glass solutions. Samsung's own answer to the iPhone Fold, codenamed Wide Fold with a passport-style shape, is slated for a launch later this year. However, that model may not get the new screen. Insiders note Samsung's mobile division faces higher DRAM costs, pushing up prices for their upcoming Galaxy S26 and foldable lines. The premium for a crease-free panel could be too high for them to adopt it immediately.

This situation points to the iPhone Fold potentially launching first with the seamless display. Samsung's tech demo proves that the engineering is possible, but cost and timing might give Apple the market debut. The era of compromising on a visible fold line could be ending very soon.
