The future Samsung Galaxy Z Fold could be cheaper, how will it be achieved?

One of the great challenges facing folding phones is their price, which is quite high. The main reason for this is that their screens are very expensive to manufacture, and this inevitably has to be paid for by users. Well, it seems that Samsung It is in your hand to change this situation.

In a short time, the new models of the Samsung Galaxy Z range, which is the one that includes this type of screen, will be official. For this reason, much is known about what they will offer -and, therefore, it is certain that they will have everything necessary to remain a reference in the market-. Many even venture to give an exact date on which the new Fold and Flip will be official (always accompanied by the Galaxy Watch 5 smartwatch): on August 10.

Unfortunately, these models will not be able to use a new technology to manufacture folding screens that Samsung is developing and that, among other things, will allow the price of devices to drop because the costs associated with these processes will be reduced in quite a remarkable way. And, this, obviously, is good news… which could be reflected with the arrival of the next generation of this type of smartphone from the Korean company.

This is the new Samsung technology

According to the data that arrives from the source of the information, the objective is to achieve a new way of proceeding to the laminate that folding panels need, and that is one of the culprits of their high manufacturing prices. And, from what you can see, it is being achieved in a quite remarkable way. This, by the way, has some additional consequences, such as that the screen will be finersomething that is positive to reduce the thickness of Samsung terminals.

The technology developed varies the way in which the panels are manufactured, since it uses the inkjet OCR to complete the process instead of keeping the current OCA that uses a transparent tape so that everything is uniform in the different laminates of the panel. And, best of all, apart from being a cheaper process, it has positive details such as getting the panel hinges are less noticeable due to increased thickness in resistance. Therefore, it seems that they are all benefits.

The bet is pretty definite

So positive have been the tests that the Korean firm has already begun to install in some of its factories to use the aforementioned OCR technology to manufacture folding screens, since the savings are considerable (and even time, because the work is completed before, which also optimizes everything). And how much can saving? Well, everything indicates that it will be around the 10%a most interesting amount considering that we are talking about terminals that usually cost more than 1,000 euros.

Therefore, the future range that replaces the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Flip 4 could have good news in what has to do with its price, since it could go down in a quite remarkable way- And, all this, without losing an iota of quality on your screen. A perfect combination, really.
