Samsung Display reveals what the next foldable devices might be wearing
Jae-Nam Yun, Executive Vice President and Head of Mobile Display Marketing Team at Samsung Display said, "Since beginning mass production of foldable OLEDs in 2019, we have continued to drive technological innovation to perfect the product—becoming the first in the industry to apply UTG (Ultra Thin Glass) and LEAD, a polarizer-free OCF technology, to foldables."

The MONTFLEX name means something to Samsung Display and is based on the French word for mountain. The Samsung unit says the moniker "represents the pinnacle of foldable innovation and embodies the company's drive for the perfect foldable panel." Additionally, the first four letters of the MONTFLEX name each stand for a key strength of Samsung's foldable OLED displays: M-mechanically durable offering outstanding folding reliability.
O-opto-mechanically flat, delivering a vivid display with minimal crease.
N-narrow bezels that maximize screen area.
T-thin and lightweight design that enhances portability. Jae-Nam Yun adds that, "Following the launch of a foldable panel with a newly developed 'shock-resistant structure' that passed the 500,000-fold durability test, we will continue pushing the boundaries to deliver even more refined foldable products that exceed market expectations. Samsung's current foldable OLED screenn is called the Infinity Flex Display. The latter includes a proprietary ultra-thin glass (UTG) allowing these panels to be thin and flexible.
Through the launch of MONTFLEX, Samsung Display said that it hopes to show to both consumers and its customers the "unique value" of its foldable OLED panels. At the same time, Samsung wants to remind the world that it expects it leadership position in foldables to remain "a key driver of future growth."
We should know much more about the new displays when Samsung puts them on display (pardon the pun) during the 2025 Korea Display Exhibition opening this coming Thursday.

Samsung shipped 3 million Galaxy S25 series units in South Korea
Michail 05 August 2025 Samsung Android Samsung announced a new milestone for the Galaxy S25 series in its home market of South Korea, as it has now passed the 3 million units sold mark. The impressive feat was achieved in six months as the S25 series initially went on sale back in February. The Galaxy S25 series is proving to be selling better than its predecessors as it reached the 3 million sales milestone, two months earlier compared to last year's Galaxy S24 series. Samsung revealed that its 'AI Subscription Club' plan was one key driver for S25 series buyers. The plan also includes a guaranteed device buy-back program, which covers up to 50% of the phone's retail price after one year. Samsung also shared that its Z Fold7 and Z Flip7 are selling better than their predecessors but did not reveal sales figures.

Samsung could release the Galaxy S25 FE a little earlier than you expect at a 'frozen' price
For a largely unremarkable budget-friendly high-end handset with pretty much the same specs and features as its predecessor (at least according to the newest rumors), the Galaxy S25 Fan Edition is sure making a lot of headlines lately, showing its slimmer and sleeker design compared to the S24 FE in all colorways and looking virtually guaranteed for an official announcement over the next couple of months or so. If you want to put a firmer date than that on the S25 FE name, a fresh Korean media report (translated here) will deliver exactly what you're looking for, as well as a ballpark estimate of the handset's possible starting price in its manufacturer's homeland. At least in South Korea, that's apparently when Samsung plans to release its next Fan Edition powerhouse. That's explicitly mentioned as a release date rather than a launch or announcement date, mind you, so there's clearly a good chance the Galaxy S25 FE will be formally unveiled even earlier. Last year's Galaxy S24 FE, for instance, was announced on September 26 and made available in markets like the US on October 3 before expanding to South Korea nearly a month later. The S24 FE was released a little later last year. | Image Credit -- PhoneArena This fall, of course, Samsung is unlikely to take as much time between the S25 FE's rollouts in the two key markets, but if Korean sales are indeed set to begin on September 19, I definitely wouldn't rule out the possibility of a US commercial debut taking place a week or two before that date. Otherwise put, we might be only a few weeks away from the phone's global launch at the time of this writing, which would certainly explain the steady recent stream of Galaxy S25 FE leaks from all sorts of reliable and semi-reliable sources. I realize that a million anything may sound excessive to a lot of Western ears, but the Galaxy S24 FE only costs the equivalent of around $680 in South Korea at 946,000 won, so the Galaxy S25 FE should remain relatively affordable this year at under KRW 1 million. That means Samsung's domestic Fan Edition smartphone pricing will either be "frozen" or "slightly increased", which is obviously likely to be true for other markets as well. This blurry image remains one of our best looks at the Galaxy S25 FE design so far. | Image Credit -- Evan Blass on X If that part of today's report proves accurate, the S25 FE could start at $650 (or, in any case, no more than $700) stateside. 128 gigs is likely to remain the entry-level storage configuration, and Samsung is expected to pair 8GB RAM again with both that amount of local digital hoarding room and 256GB. Under the hood, the biggest question mark is still the battery capacity (which could stand at a modest 4,500mAh or much more impressive 4,900mAh), while charging speeds are essentially etched in stone at 45W (up from the S24 FE's 25W limit). Although it's nice to hear in this day and age of a potentially "frozen" price point for a new high-end smartphone, the use of a pretty unremarkable Exynos 2400 processor (at least by 2025 Android flagship standards) had actually made me hope that the Galaxy S25 FE would end up costing less than its predecessor. Guess that's a dream I may need to give up already... while continuing to look forward to what could still be an interesting product launch from the world's top handset vendor next month.

Apple is considering tandem OLEDs for its 2028 iPhones
Michail, 05 August 2025 According to a recent report from The Elec, Apple is currently evaluating plans to bring tandem OLED displays to the iPhone. The display tech made its debut on the iPad Pro (2024) and brings two OLED panels layered on top of each other. The benefits include higher brightness output and reduced power consumption. Apple is currently evaluating the optimal tandem OLED display for the iPhone, and it apparently prefers a simplified implementation to the one used on the most recent iPad Pros. A simplified tandem OLED would still consist of two panels, with the second OLED layer only including the blue subpixels, while the primary panel houses the red and green ones. LG Display has allegedly contacted Apple about a simplified tandem OLED display last year, and Apple is also in talks with its other key supplier - Samsung Display. Apple usually operates a standard two-year schedule for development and mass production, and the new report suggests the earliest iPhone with a tandem OLED would appear in 2028. While the report does not go into detail about which model of the iPhone would receive the new display tech, it will likely be an exclusive feature for Pro models. Source (in Korean)
