Leaked Video Shows Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra Without Display Crease

July 15, 2026, 11:36 am | Read time: 3 minutes

A leak about the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold is stirring conversation just before its official presentation. A video shows a Samsung foldable that was reportedly filmed before its unveiling on July 22, 2026. Particularly striking is the surface of the inner screen. The crease typical of such devices in the middle of the display appears significantly less visible than before.

Display Appears Almost Flat in Video

The video published by tech blogger Setsuna Digital on Weibo shows the smartphone in an unfolded state with the inner screen active. A person holds the device in their hand and moves it several times in the light. Under such conditions, the indentation along the fold axis usually stands out.

In the footage, however, the display appears almost completely flat. Only at certain angles is a fine line still visible in the middle. If the device shown is indeed the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra, Samsung may have significantly reduced the visible display crease. Whether the spot is also barely noticeable to the touch cannot be determined from the video.

Closer to a Classic Tablet

A less noticeable crease could improve the use of the large screen. Reflections would be less distracting, and content could appear more uniform. Swipe gestures would also be less frequently interrupted by an indentation.

This could make the device feel more like a classic tablet when unfolded. However, whether this impression will last over time is unclear. The video apparently shows a device that has been used very little so far. Therefore, it does not provide insights into how the crease behaves after many folding cycles.

Doubts About the Device’s Identity

Besides the inner screen, the video also shows the outer display and the back of the smartphone. Three vertically arranged cameras are visible on the back. Additionally, the front camera is located at the top of the outer display.

These features, however, raise doubts about the authenticity of the alleged Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra leak. The well-known leaker Ice Universe wrote on X after a re-evaluation that it might actually be a Galaxy Z Fold 7.

Certainty Comes Only at the Presentation

According to Ice Universe, the camera module and the size of the cutout for the front camera argue against the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra. If a Galaxy Z Fold 7 is indeed shown in the video, it raises new questions. Because the innermost display of the already available model is usually not crease-free.

Which statement is ultimately correct will likely be clarified only at the official unveiling on July 22, 2026. Then Samsung will present its new foldables and end the speculation surrounding the leak.
