Samsung w końcu wyprasuje swoje ekrany? Galaxy Z Fold 8 może zerwać z rowkiem na wyświetlaczu
Każdy użytkownik Folda to zna. Przesuwasz palcem po rozłożonym ekranie i w połowie drogi wpadasz w dołek. Zmarszczka na elastycznym wyświetlaczu była do tej pory cechą wrodzoną składaków Samsunga, podczas gdy chińska konkurencja udowadniała, że ekrany mogą być niemal idealnie płaskie.
Wygląda jednak na to, że Koreańczycy w końcu odrobili pracę domową. Rozwiązaniem ma być laser i… podwójna porcja szkła.
Co pokazano w Las Vegas?
Podczas tegorocznych targów CES 2026 Samsung Display pokazał za zamkniętymi drzwiami prototyp panelu o nazwie „Advanced Crease-less”. Dziennikarze, którzy mieli okazję go zobaczyć, zanim został pośpiesznie schowany, potwierdzają: różnica względem obecnego Galaxy Z Fold 7 jest kolosalna. Zmarszczka niemal zniknęła. Nas intryguje jednak słowo „niemal”.
Teraz, dzięki przeciekom z Korei, dowiadujemy się, jak inżynierowie Samsunga chcą to osiągnąć w masowej produkcji – prawdopodobnie już w nadchodzącym modelu Galaxy Z Fold 8.

Inżynieria pod mikroskopem: laser i kanapka ze szkła
Dotychczas problemem było skupianie się naprężeń mechanicznych dokładnie w miejscu zgięcia. Samsung postanowił zmienić fizykę tego procesu na dwa sposoby:
Laserowa perforacja: płyta wsporcza (backplate), która znajduje się pod ekranem, ma być poddana procesowi laserowego nawiercania. Stworzenie mikroskopijnych otworów sprawi, że materiał stanie się bardziej elastyczny w kluczowym miejscu. Dzięki temu naprężenia podczas składania i rozkładania nie będą kumulować się w jednym punkcie (tworząc bruzdę), ale rozłożą się równomiernie na większej powierzchni.
Podwójne UTG: to prawdziwa nowość. Samsung od lat stosuje Ultra-Thin Glass (UTG), czyli warstwę szkła cieńszą od włosa. Nowy raport sugeruje jednak użycie drugiej warstwy UTG. Jedna tafla znajdowałaby się tradycyjnie pod warstwą dotykową, a druga – bezpośrednio na wspomnianej, nawiercanej płycie wsporczej.
Taka konstrukcja – „szklana kanapka” wzmocniona elastycznym stelażem – ma zapobiegać powstawaniu trwałych odkształceń materiału, czyli właśnie tych irytujących zmarszczek, które widzimy pod światło.
Wyścig z czasem (i Apple?)
Dlaczego Samsung robi to teraz? Bo musi. Konkurencja nie śpi, a plotki o składanym iPhonie (który rzekomo też testuje podobne rozwiązania panelowe od Samsunga) są coraz głośniejsze. Jeśli Galaxy Z Fold 8 zadebiutuje latem tego roku z idealnie płaskim ekranem, Samsung odzyska koronę innowatora, którą w ostatnich latach nieco zakurzył, oddając pole graczom takim jak Honor czy Huawei.
Miejmy tylko nadzieję, że podwójna warstwa szkła nie wpłynie negatywnie na grubość urządzenia, o którą w tym segmencie toczy się równie zażarta walka.

Elliot Anderson has senior England ambitions, loves watching Kevin De Bruyne, and cannot wait for European nights at the City Ground. After training at Samorin today, the England Under-21 and Nottingham Forest midfielder spoke well and widely on….
On his best position, 6 or 8. “I do like getting forward in the 8 position and trying to get into the box and score. I enjoy the 6 as well because you get more of the ball and feel you have more control. They both bring good things out of my game. With the double pivot we (U21s) play, it allows a 6 to join the attack, which I like doing. The manager (Lee Carsley) wants me to take control of games.
“I love being able to bring different attributes to the team. Playing lower in the 6, I can try and pass forward, start the attacks and try to join them. At Forest, I am a box-to-box 8. It’s about adapting to what the coach wants. Trying to split defences is a big part of my game. It’s something we might lack in football now. That’s what I’m trying to do, create attacks and try and catch the eye.”
On the debate about who should play 6 alongside Declan Rice for England. “I haven’t seen much of the debate. I’m just trying to focus on myself and get up as high as I can. I believe I can get to the senior team. I’ve just got to keep doing what I’m doing and try and get on his (Thomas Tuchel’s) radar. I’ll be trying to get in the World Cup squad, that’s for sure.”
On frustration at Forest slipping from Champions League positions into European Conference League. “Everyone was pretty disappointed. We fell off towards the end, but we must be proud of what we’ve done. Chelsea won it (Conference) and if we play the way we did last season, then we could have a really good chance of getting towards the end. It would be incredible (to win a European trophy). All the (Forest) boys have been saying how good it would be. The city deserves it. We have an incredible fanbase. I enjoy playing at the City Ground, so if we can repay the fans with a trophy, it would be great. The nights under the lights at the City Ground with the European clubs coming is what I’m most looking forward to.”
On his popularity at Bristol Rovers (on loan), Newcastle United and now Forest. “I try and get fans off their seats and will do everything for the team. I work hard all game and fight for the team. All the fans enjoy that, so I’ll keep doing that.”
On which player gets him off his seat. “I love watching Kevin De Bruyne. He creates things and is so good to watch.”
On leadership. “I feel I’ve always been vocal. I can be quiet off the pitch, but once I’m on it, I change.”
On the challenge of facing Germany in Nitra on Wednesday. “The lads show their quality every day in training; it’s about being brave and expressing ourselves.”

Jarell Quansah spoke after England Under-21 training at Samorin today, and spoke very well about those who inspire him, his hunger to learn and his career to date (58 games for Liverpool, 16 games on loan at Bristol Rovers in 2023). On his career, Quansah said, “It's definitely developing, I'm not getting too high or too low. I can take massive learnings from the three seasons I've been in professional football from Bristol to now. I'm in a very good position to take the next step and it just comes with working hard and staying focused on what I can control.”
Always learning, always wanting to express himself, the centre-back stepped into midfield a couple of times against Czechia, giving Lee Carsley’s team added dimension. “Lee will never tell me not to do it, which is the good thing about him. He lets us play with a lot of freedom. I like to see myself as a player who tries to step in with the ball and drive with the ball and create an overload in the midfield.”
Quansah studied one player in particular. “We had Joel Matip at Liverpool. I couldn't believe how well he could step into midfield and keep the ball. It looks easy sometimes when you're stepping in and you're just going past players but knowing there's three or four players either side of you and trying to make the right pass is so difficult. It's definitely a skill I've not mastered, but seeing players like Joel do it and the way he did it with such success, I can only aspire to be that sort of player.”
Enjoys having club-mates Harvey Elliott and Tyler Morton out here in Slovakia. “Because we're so close together we can talk about a lot of things. It doesn't always have to be about football, it can be something completely separate which can take your mind off things, if things are not going so well and how you would want them to, on the pitch. You're always in each other's ear, trying to help each other along if you're in a bad time or whatever it may be. Having people that are close to you and someone always to speak to is very valuable if you want to progress to the next level.”
Wants to learn the art of leading more. Studied Liverpool’s captains. “Jordan (Henderson) is very vocal, has very, very high standards on and off the pitch and he drives that constantly. Then you've got Virgil (van Dijk), who again leads by example; a big presence in the changing room. Because of the type of player he is, you want to listen to him, you want to learn off him.
“I'm not going to be always the most vocal in the team. I might learn that skill but the way I'm trying to do it at the minute is how I set standards, how I train, how I keep my standards as high as I can really.”
England pathway accelerates his development. “Winning for your country is an unbelievable honour. I got the honour to do it in the Under-19s Euros (won in 2022), so I knew what that feeling was like. It's almost incomparable. I took massive confidence from it. After that season I made big strides in my career.”
Also drew motivation from defeat. “I went to Argentina with the Under-20s and we missed out there (FIFA U-20 World Cup in 2023). Knowing you have the quality to win it but not fulfilling that is not a good feeling at all. So if that's not enough, it's always about how you look towards the future and the player you want to become, about how you want to improve every game you play. There's always people watching and it's just about taking the next step to fulfil your potential.” #LFC #UTG #ENG #U21EURO
