Samsung announces next-gen foldable phone display, and it sounds awesome

What's happened? Samsung's display arm has lifted the lid on a new foldable screen brand it's calling 'Mont Flex', and it promises some serious upgrades for foldable phones of the future. If you were impressed by the svelte Galaxy Z Fold 7, there looks to be even better things to come. 'Mont' is French for mountain, and Samsung says it's chosen this name because it 'symbolizes the pinnacle of innovation in foldable displays'. Plus, each letter of Mont represents a key strength of the new screen technology. In its announcement, Samsung says 'M stands for mechanically durable offering outstanding folding reliability; O for opto-mechanically flat, delivering a vivid display with minimal crease; N for narrow bezels that maximize screen area; and T for thin and lightweight design that enhances portability.' In short, the new Mont Flex foldable display is thinner and lighter than previous screens, while also being tested to sustain 500,000 folds (that's over 130 folds per day, for 10 years). This is important because: Samsung is showing a clear commitment to the foldable form factor, and with common worries from consumers when considering a foldable phone linked to screen durability, a visible display crease, and overall size of the device, the new screen technology is a promising one. Samsung made a major leap with the Z Fold 7, trimming down the size of the handset to a slender 8.9mm folded and 4.2mm unfolded, closely matching the thinnest foldable on the market, the Honor Magic V5. The new Mont Flex display suggests we could see even thinner foldables in the future, with a minimal crease and smaller bezel around the screen – allowing manufacturers to maximize screen real estate. The weight of foldables could also be reduced thanks to this new display, which could lead to foldable phones sporting dimensions similar to a traditional, non-folding smartphone. Recommended Videos Why should I care? While folding phones are still very much premium devices, the continued development of the form factor will allow prices to come down over time, while improving the durability, size and viewing experience. We're not yet at the point of a 'cheap' foldable phone, but with the introduction of the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE along with the more affordable Motorola Razr, there are signs of a shift towards slowly making the technology cheaper. And with rumors hotting up around a possible iPhone Fold launch in 2026, enhancements in foldable screen technology are likely to continue improving. Okay, what's next? Samsung will be showing off its new Mont Flex OLED displays K-Display 2025 Korea Display Exhibition (which runs August 7-9), giving the industry an up-close look at the panels. Samsung hasn't said when the new foldable panel will go into production, but seeing as it's showing it off at a trade show there's a chance it could be ready for the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Z Flip 8 which we'd expect to land in July 2026. And if you're looking for more foldable thrills, Google is tipped to announced its next foldable as part of the Pixel 10 series on August 20.

This old Birkenstock factory will soon be a gorgeous ode to the Eames design legacy

The designers Charles and Ray Eames were two of the most important designers of the 20th century, and their legacy of innovative furniture, product, and industrial design continues to have an influence today. Now, the foundation that carries the couple's torch is planning to open a new museum that explores their work and its enduring impact on the design world. The Eames Institute of Infinite Curiosity just announced the purchase of a disused corporate campus in the San Francisco Bay Area that it will be converting into a large-scale art and design museum. With an adaptive reuse design by the architecture firms EHDD and Herzog & de Meuron, known for its work on the Tate Modern art museum in London and the De Young Museum in San Francisco, the new museum will focus on design through the lens of purpose. The Eames Institute expects to open the museum before 2030. John Cary, president and CEO of the Eames Institute, says the museum is a dream project that's finally taking form. 'When we conceived of the Eames Institute seven years ago, we always wanted to create a very large, high-capacity venue for the community and the public to come and experience art and design in ways that they might not be able to otherwise,' he says. The Eames Institute is still in the early stages of thinking through the curatorial angle for the museum, but Cary says it will be undeniably Eamesian. 'We're especially inclined toward problem-solving design, the kind of design that actually addresses a need. What we're really interested in is trying to untangle the process from the product. That's something that the Eameses did so well.' Known best for iconic furniture pieces like their molded wood lounge chair and ottoman, the Eameses were multihyphenate designers who worked on projects ranging from World War II leg splints to lamps, children's toys, and educational films. Cary says this range of output—and the emphasis on designing things people needed—makes the Eameses' work continually relevant. He says the new museum will celebrate this legacy of design work and house the official Eames archive, while also championing newer generations of designers and artists, as well as emerging talents. 'We're interested in really teasing out the life stories of these creatives. What were their trajectories? How did they come to be who they are?' Cary says. Located about 30 miles north of San Francisco in the city of Novato, the museum project is adapting a 1960s-era corporate campus and distribution center originally designed for the publisher McGraw-Hill, and used most recently by the shoemaker Birkenstock. The 88-acre campus was designed by John Savage Bolles, a modernist architect who designed San Francisco's Candlestick Park stadium and the IBM campus in San Jose. Despite the Novato campus being mostly a utilitarian warehouse, it jumps out from its freeway-adjacent landscape with a boldly layered shark-tooth roofline in bright white. After Birkenstock left in 2019, it sat unused. 'I fell in love with that warehouse, mostly by driving by a lot, then managing to sneak my way in. Authorized, but nonetheless, it wasn't on the market at that point or anything,' Cary says. 'I just am pretty relentless about things.' The campus eventually went up for sale, and Cary says the Eames Institute had to beat out some stiff competition to take it over. They bought the property for $36 million and have been working with Herzog & de Meuron for the past few months to come up with conceptual designs for adapting the warehouse, an adjacent office building, and the site's vast landscape. advertisement Herzog & de Meuron have deep experience creating museum spaces, including the Tate Modern in London and the De Young Museum in San Francisco, and in adaptive reuse. According to Simon Demeuse, partner at Herzog & de Meuron, the firm is 'deeply committed to working with existing buildings whenever possible.' Turning a former goods distribution facility into a museum offers the potential to rethink how collections are made accessible to the public, he says, via email. 'The Eameses explored the world and their designs in a very open manner, leading to new ways of understanding and seeing their surroundings,' says Demeuse. 'This building will allow its stewards and visitors to experience the collections and exhibits in an open manner as well, from many different perspectives and vantage points that can evolve over time.' Despite sitting right next to Highway 101, which expands from four to six lanes across the span of the campus, berms around its edges make the property surprisingly quiet. 'That kind of acoustical protection was really, really appealing,' Cary says. It's a bucolic condition that's led the Eames Institute and the architects to think about the warehouse building as a kind of indoor-outdoor space. Made up of five long bays that once held canyons of pallets full of schoolbooks and, later, sandals, the warehouse's edges could feasibly open up wide to allow programming to spill outward. Partly subterranean, the warehouse stays naturally cool, which works well for preserving artwork and archival materials, as well as for handling the region's hot summers. These conditions all play into the problem-solving ethos of the Eames Institute. Adapting the building to a new use instead of simply building from scratch is squarely on brand. But Cary is cautious to note that this is not a museum about the Eameses, or at least not only that. 'We're really interested in creating a multigenerational offering for a truly multigenerational audience,' he says. 'While we will always celebrate the Eameses as the seed of all of this, we have the chance to create an even bigger canvas and to bring others into it.' The early-rate deadline for Fast Company's Most Innovative Companies Awards is Friday, September 5, at 11:59 p.m. PT. Apply today.
