Samsung Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition is a crease control master
Samsung has recently launched its slimmer foldable smartphone. The new Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition is a crease control master, featuring an “almost invisible” crease.
The image posted by IceUniverse showcases a nearly invisible crease on the Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition. The tipster previously revealed that the SE foldable comes with the best crease control yet.
As shown in the image below, the consumer unit of the Z Fold SE crease is almost vanished. This is made possible because of continuous research and the adoption of waterdrop hinge technology.
Samsung’s new Fold SE comes with a 6.5-inch cover and an 8-inch inner screen. It seems the removal of the under-display camera helped Samsung improve the crease control.

Starting with the Z Fold 3, Samsung has been bringing UDC camera tech to its foldables. The Z Fold 6, which launched in July this year, also features under display camera on the inner screen.
Well, the Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition adopted punch hole camera on the main display. The cover screen continues the punch-hole camera tech like other flagships and foldables from Samsung.
Fold SE – Samsung’s Innovation continues
With the launch of the Galaxy Z Fold SE, Samsung reiterated that it isn’t out of the game. The company will continue to innovate further to provide Galaxy users with evolving experiences.
The new foldable will go on sale in South Korea on October 25. It will be available in a Black Shadow color; Koreans will have to pay 2,789,600 won (~$2,038) to own this epic phone.
Galaxy S25 Ultra dummy leak reveals the nearly final design of Samsung’s next big flagship. After CAD renders, we now have a closer look at the refined new design of the Ultra flagship, which will give sleepless nights to Apple.
Onleaks posted a set of Galaxy S25 Ultra dummy models. The flagship can be seen with its refined design, which makes the corner slightly rounded. The Z Fold6-inspired camera rings also elevate the rear panel’s appearance, making it appealing.
There are three major changes in the body design of Samsung’s next Ultra flagship. The first is the frame, which is getting flatter like the iPhone. Second is rounded corners, that are not that rounded like S24/S25, and third is textured camera rings.
Notably, the dummy units don’t show a close look at the bezels. However, this aspect is expected to be improved over the previous generations. Minimal symmetrical bezels will present an appealing look on the phone’s front side.
The Galaxy S25 Ultra is slimmer than the Galaxy S24 Ultra. The S Pen compartment resists on the frame’s bottom, accompanied by the primary microphone, USB C-Type port, speaker grille, and SIM card tray.
The right side of the frame features volume adjustment buttons and a side key. The power button can be configured to trigger a digital assistant. The fingerprint scanner will be featured as an in-screen solution with faster and more reliable recognition.
Samsung is expected to unveil the Galaxy S25 series in late January next year.
A new patent suggests Samsung working on next-gen camera tech that could save battery and crush lens process noise. The company has recently unveiled the All Lenses on Prism telephoto solution for thinner and sleeker zoom cameras.
Since smartphone camera modules get more advanced, a lot of processing power is required to finish the tasks. That said, Samsung is crafting even more advanced camera modules that save battery and reduce noise.
Enter Samsung’s new patent, which introduces a power-saving sub-processor. This clever little chip would handle all the extra camera tasks—like reducing noise from the OIS lens movements and managing the EIS algorithms.
It will reduce the burden of the main processor so it can focus on the actual photo-taking. At the time your device is in a sleep or power-saving state, the sub-processor keeps running quietly in the background, consuming minimal power.
If the technology is used, you will have less noise in camera operations, smoother performance, and better battery life. At the same time, you won’t lose your favorite camera features, but your smartphone will last longer between charges.
A look ahead
The development shows Samsung’s innovative approach. Other than upgrading camera sensors, the company is also working on improvements to the technology that works behind the scenes and makes a great impact on performance and efficiency.
Samsung often registers new patent applications to secure designs and innovations. However, it’s uncertain that a patented technology would surely be commercialized. Tech firms have thousands of approved patents that never get produced.
Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra smartphone is set to launch next year, which will likely offer big improvements in battery life with the new Snapdragon 8 Elite processor. The Galaxy S25 series phones will also bring amazing enhancements over the current S series models.
Qualcomm’s latest chip, Snapdragon 8 Elite, seems to be a powerhouse for future Android devices. Early tests of phones using this chip, like the Asus ROG Phone 9 Pro and OnePlus 13, show that it can help devices last much longer on a single charge.
The Snapdragon 8 Elite promises a 27% improvement in power efficiency compared to previous models. This means phones using this chip don’t need as much battery power to run, which leads to longer battery life.
In tests, the Asus ROG Phone 9 Pro saw its battery life increase by nearly 30%, despite only having a slightly larger battery than the last model. The OnePlus 13 also showed a 42% improvement, lasting about 17.5 hours in a battery test, up from just 12.2 hours in the previous OnePlus 12 model.
These results suggest that the Snapdragon 8 Elite could bring big changes to battery performance in future smartphones, including the Galaxy S25 Ultra. It’s expected that users will be able to enjoy all-day use without needing to charge their phones as often.
The Galaxy S25 Ultra will likely be performance-focused, especially with its advanced camera features and premium display. The long-lasting battery life of the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra could make it a powerhouse, providing longer-time benefits of advanced performance.
