Samsung unveils groundbreaking foldable smartphone screen technology, promising an amazing user experience.
In a significant leap forward for foldable technology, Samsung Display announced its new foldable display brand, Mont Flex, on August 5, 2025. The announcement was made at the K-Display 2025 Korea Display Exhibition held from August 7 to 9 in Seoul.
The Mont Flex brand represents Samsung Display's latest innovation in foldable OLED technology, with a focus on mechanical durability, opto-mechanical flatness, narrow bezels, and a thin, lightweight design. The name 'Mont' is derived from the French word for mountain, symbolizing the pinnacle of innovation in foldable displays.
Each letter of 'Mont' represents a key strength of the new screen technology. 'M' stands for mechanically durable, offering outstanding folding reliability. 'N' stands for narrow bezels, maximizing screen area. 'O' stands for opto-mechanically flat, delivering a vivid display with minimal crease. 'T' stands for thin and lightweight design, enhancing portability.
Samsung has not confirmed which device will first feature the Mont Flex display, but industry sources suggest the Galaxy Z Fold 8, expected in 2026, is likely to be the first device to incorporate this new technology. Samsung also confirmed the launch of a new trifolding Galaxy Z device within five months from July 2025, which may use advanced foldable technology but is not specifically confirmed to use Mont Flex displays.
The Galaxy Z Fold 7, recently released, was significantly slimmer than its predecessors, closely matching the thinnest foldable on the market, the Honor Magic V5. The new Mont Flex display could lead to even thinner, lighter, and smaller foldable phones with a minimal crease and smaller bezel.
Meanwhile, other companies are also making strides in making foldable technology more affordable. The Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE and the Motorola Razr are examples of this shift.
In other news, Google is rumoured to announce its next foldable device as part of the Pixel 10 series on August 20. The exact details of this device are yet to be revealed.
As the race for the perfect foldable panel continues, Samsung's Mont Flex brand signals a significant step towards this goal, combining durability, flatness, bezel minimization, and portability. The exact timeline for the production and integration of this new technology remains to be seen, but it is expected to be ready for the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Z Flip 8 expected in July 2026.
- The Mont Flex display, a new innovation from Samsung Display in foldable OLED technology, is anticipated to be used in the Galaxy Z Fold 8, expected in 2026, promising a thinner, lighter, and smaller foldable phone with a minimal crease and smaller bezel.
- With Samsung's Mont Flex brand entering the market, designed for mechanical durability, opto-mechanical flatness, narrow bezels, and a thin, lightweight design, competitors like Google and Motorola are also working to make foldable technology more accessible and affordable for consumers.
