“Samsung’s strength in the foldable category comes from connecting user needs with our technologies that deliver tangible benefits in everyday life,” said Sunghoon Moon, EVP and Senior Executive, Mobile R&D Office – H/W, Samsung Electronics. “For the next generation of Galaxy foldables, Samsung is building on years of expertise to bring display innovations into devices that enhance user experiences, anchored by exceptional viewing experiences.”

Building on Years of Foldable Experience

Samsung has played a leading role in advancing mobile display innovation and bringing it to consumers at scale through mobile devices. This legacy includes the widespread adoption of AMOLED displays in 2007 and the evolution of displays into flexible form factors.

Innovative technologies can only reach their full potential and provide meaningful user experiences through continuous refinement in real-world conditions, and the foldable category is no exception. Across seven generations of Galaxy foldables, Samsung has listened closely to consumer feedback. This has given the company a deep understanding of what users expect from the category: a larger, more immersive viewing experience with less visible crease — without compromising durability or portability.

To meet these expectations, Samsung had to rethink how foldable displays are constructed by bringing together breakthroughs in technology, materials and mechanical engineering. The result is the latest milestone in foldable display innovation: Flex Titanium technology. By successfully integrating display innovation with device engineering, Samsung will continue to shape the direction of the mobile industry and deliver standout user experiences.

Flex Titanium: Next-Level Viewing

To create a display that provides an immersive viewing experience while maintaining its ability to withstand everyday use, Samsung took a new approach to structural design. This required a material strong enough to withstand external shock, flexible enough to endure repeated folding and thin enough to fit within a refined device structure. Balancing all three factors was essential to advancing foldable displays — and titanium offered the right mix.

Known for its resilience and strength, titanium has been used in some of the most demanding applications, including satellite antennas and the wheels of a Mars rover. While its strength makes titanium a dependable material, it also presents significant engineering challenges when applied to the thin and flexible structure of a foldable display due to its stiffness. Drawing on its expertise, Samsung has integrated titanium into two key components: a titanium-alloy film and a titanium plate.

The titanium-alloy film is a component that supports the display from within, sitting below the OLED panel. Compared with polymer film, it provides 20 times greater mechanical stiffness. A precision rolling process makes the material exceptionally thin — measuring roughly one-third the thickness of an average human hair — enabling a slimmer display panel.

Below this sits a robust titanium plate, a flexible structure that supports the display module from beneath. It allows tighter bonding with the display module by eliminating air gaps between the module and the adhesive on the plate through advanced hole processing technology. This new structure provides more stable support underneath the display when unfolded while retaining the flexibility needed to accommodate repeated folding.

Furthermore, by integrating a high-resolution architecture and next-generation organic materials, the new display delivers ultra-vivid display resolution while reducing power consumption — delivering a dramatic boost in overall power efficiency.

“By introducing sophisticated micro-patterned holes to the folding section of the titanium plate, we have successfully secured flexibility with robust durability,” said Kyung-Jin Yoo, EVP and Head of Mobile Display Product Development Team, Samsung Display. “Combining high-resolution display architecture with new organic materials that maximize power efficiency, we will further strengthen the competitiveness of next-generation Galaxy foldable devices.”

Together, these advancements enable a strong foldable display that maximizes content immersion on a seamless screen and reduces crease visibility — all while keeping it slim. By balancing strength, flexibility and structural stability, Samsung continues to set the bar for foldable displays.

The new Flex Titanium technology will debut with Samsung’s next-generation Galaxy foldable devices. Further details will be unveiled at Galaxy Unpacked.

MANILA, Philippines (July 9, 2026) – The premium television market is evolving alongside changing consumer behavior. On average, consumers spend about ¼ of their day watching TV¹, with 3 in 4 Filipinos streaming video content². Immersive viewing has also become increasingly important, indicating that consumers are more likely to invest in TV technologies that deliver richer visuals, smarter experiences, and greater long-term value³.

For Samsung, these shifts reinforce its belief that the future of TV lies in smarter, more advanced technologies that make every viewing experience more meaningful. Reinforcing its position as the global No. 1 TV brand for 20 consecutive years, Samsung continues to redefine TV viewing with its newest Vision AI TVs.  

Combining advanced intelligence with breakthrough display technologies, the latest Vision AI TVs create smarter, more immersive home entertainment experiences for consumers.

Vision AI Companion Creates TVs That Understand You

Perhaps the clearest example of Samsung’s vision for the future of television is its Vision AI Companion technology. Built on advanced natural language processing, Vision AI Companion transforms the television from a passive display into an active participant in the entertainment experience. 

This intuitive technology enables viewers to interact with their TV in a conversational manner. They can simply ask for real-time recommendations, inquire about cast information while watching a show or movie, or seek the latest statistics of their favorite team in the middle of a live broadcast. 

This intelligence extends through the integration of AI Football Mode– Instead of relying on generic picture settings, the TV recognizes football content and automatically optimizes picture and sound settings designed to recreate the atmosphere of the pitch right at home. 

Micro RGB Delivers Micro-sized Precision and Unlocks a New World of Color

The new Samsung Micro RGB Vision AI TV also sets new benchmarks for premium display performance — the embodiment of Samsung’s strategy of reshaping TVs through precision engineering, intelligent software, and an expanded content ecosystem.

This new technology reproduces an ultra-wide spectrum of colors by deploying microscopic red, green, and blue (RGB) backlights working together with remarkable precision. This results in lifelike visuals with brighter images, richer contrast, and less color bleed.The TV’s display is driven by the Micro RGB AI Engine Pro, which simultaneously handles 4K upscaling, color enhancement, and sound optimization. To complement this, the Micro RGB Precision 100 reproduces colors with extraordinary accuracy, while the Glare Free Display eliminates distracting reflections to allow viewers to stay immersed in their entertainment regardless of lighting conditions. 

The TV also offers a smooth, ultra-fast gaming experience through its Motion Xcelerator. It supports VRR gaming at up to 165Hz, providing fluid, lag-free gameplay. Additionally, the Gaming Hub streamlines every playing session by bringing together console games, cloud gaming services, and apps within a single interface, complete with personalized recommendations.

The AI Sound Controller Pro feature enables viewers to independently adjust their audio settings to suit different types of content, while Live Translate detects the language of the series or movie being played and generates subtitles in the viewers’ preferred language. 

Mini LED Enhances Viewing with Monumental Depth and Dynamics

Samsung’s new Mini LED Vision AI TV meanwhile reinforces that modern viewing experiences are defined by visual excellence coupled with intelligent adaptation. Powered by the NQ4 AI Gen2 Processor, the TV uses 20 unique AI neural networks to continuously analyze what is on screen and optimize both picture and sound accordingly to deliver the best possible experience for every viewer.

Utilizing significantly smaller backlights than conventional LED televisions, the Mini LED Vision AI TV achieves far more accurate control over brightness and shadow. Moreover, the TV produces stronger contrast, with truer blacks and brighter colors, as well as remarkable depth across every scene. Pure Spectrum color builds upon this foundation, rendering pixel-level color accuracy that preserves natural-looking hues across an expanded color gamut. Meanwhile, Mini LED HDR enhances the realistic display by revealing greater detail in both the darkest and brightest parts of the image to create picture quality that feels more dimensional and immersive.

Similar to the Micro RGB Vision AI TV, the Mini LED Vision AI TV also makes gameplay exceptionally smooth — even for VRR titles up to 4K 144Hz. Through the AI Gaming Optimizer, the TV eliminates the need for manual configuration as it automatically recognizes game genres through real-time analysis and adjusts display settings to maximize responsiveness and visual clarity.

SmartThings Connectivity Builds TVs that Evolve with the Modern Home

As consumer demands for TVs that do more continue to grow, Samsung designed its Vision AI TVs to also serve as intelligent control hubs of the modern home. The built-in SmartThings integration connects Vision AI TV to compatible smart home devices, making the TV the “command center” for the household. Through this, users are able to monitor their smart appliances and manage their energy consumption on AI Energy Mode directly from the television screen.

Samsung’s broader vision for the TV experience extends beyond entertainment, viewing televisions as a long-term investment that evolves alongside new technologies and changing consumer lifestyles. Driven by the One UI Tizen OS, the interface of Vision AI TVs is designed to remain seamless and intuitive over time, supporting up to seven years of free OS upgrades.

Samsung Vision AI TVs: Shaping the Future of Viewing

After two decades as the global No. 1 TV brand, Samsung aims to continue to push beyond conventional televisions design to create experiences that are smarter, more immersive, and built around the modern consumer.

AI will be no different.

Where AI Meets People

AI is getting smarter faster, and this will continue. But to change how people live, it must answer: where, how and into whose hands does this intelligence reach? This will define AI’s next chapter.

AI no longer merely answers. It is entering an agentic age, taking action on our behalf while the person carries the final decision. But to act for someone, it must first know them.

That is why it matters where AI meets people. The entry points are where AI understands a person and builds trust. The best AI experiences will come from the devices that know the user best.

This is what Samsung has spent years building. The phone is closest to us, with us daily. The tablet is where we create and learn. The watch reads signals like sleep and heart rate. The TV and connected home appliances add context from where we live. And new form factors, from foldables to intelligent eyewear, expand where AI meets us. Together, a fuller picture of a person’s needs forms.

These entry points are powerful together. Signals from across devices become timely assistance: sleep tracked by your watch shapes tomorrow’s schedule, with information always available. AI at its best works quietly in the background, bringing these moments into a cohesive experience. That is why we have spent years building an ecosystem not just to reach, but to connect more moments.

Built on Openness and Trust

Samsung does not do this alone. The platforms that changed the world were the most open. The web was. So were mobile operating systems. With SmartThings, we brought devices, services and partners into one connected experience, shaping industry open standards. Openness lets the best ideas reach people faster. And we don’t simply layer intelligence on top, but design how AI works at the center so it serves each person in context.

But openness alone is not the goal. The harder task is turning intelligence into something personal and trustworthy. The best intelligence in the world should reach people through their everyday devices. But what makes it personal is understanding the user and keeping that understanding safe. That is our responsibility.

As AI becomes more personal and agentic, trust becomes the foundation. People need to know what AI is doing for them and remain in control.

This is why trust isn’t added at the end. Samsung Knox protects each Galaxy device and now the connections between them. As intelligence moves across devices, protecting what flows between them is crucial. The most personal data stays on the device so people can understand how AI is working and remain in control.

The Next Chapter of Galaxy

That same understanding shapes the devices we build. The more personal and capable AI becomes, the more form matters. As AI helps us with more at once, a screen that flexes and folds expands what is possible. This is what makes foldables special: they fold into your hand or open a larger stage. On this journey, Samsung has continued to make foldables thinner, lighter, stronger and more immersive.

AI is also essential in health. How we sleep, recover and look after ourselves—daily choices add up. A device close to us, like a watch, tracks these signals ensuring a better day.

The upcoming Galaxy Unpacked is where we will show what’s next in bringing all this together: more personal, natural AI experiences on a foundation more partners can build on. The question that opens the next era is not who has the smartest AI, but who understands people best, and turns that understanding into experiences they can trust.

We intend to take this path with openness and responsibility, beginning with the device already in your hand. We open this next chapter together at Galaxy Unpacked.

On July 22, Samsung will host Galaxy Unpacked in London, U.K. Join us as we unveil the next chapter of Galaxy innovation. Scan the QR code to learn more.
The event will be streamed live on Samsung.com, Samsung Newsroom and Samsung’s YouTube channel beginning at 2 p.m. BST, 9 a.m. ET and 3 p.m. CEST.
