Last week, Samsung released the first ever Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition with a huge discount, emphasizing the ultra-thin body Recently, Korean media reported that the technology behind the Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition, the most important part of which hinge, has been rebuilt, allowing the mobile phone to keep an ultra-thin body while maintaining stability.
Huge increase in heel parts
According to Korean media The Elec According to reports, the Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition uses a completely different hinge design from the Galaxy Z Fold 6. Since the body of the special edition is very thin, Samsung has increased the number of components in the hinge until it is stable. The Fold 6 hinge has around 60-70 parts, while the Fold Special Edition has 130-140 parts and is made by Korean supplier KH Vatech.
No new UTG technology was introduced
Another most important part of the folding device is the screen glass, no new technology has been used. Samsung and Apple are currently developing a new UTG technology, which only performs a thin scratch on the folded part to make up for the defects in the easy breakage of UTG, so that the thicker UTG panels can it remains to maintain a higher hardness, and the elevations in the middle. It will also be Less obvious, this technology is expected to be applied to new folding models in the future.
▲ The thickness of Galaxy Z Fold SE is 10.6mm, which is 1.5mm thinner than the 12.1mm Z Fold body.
Switch to a titanium alloy frame
In addition, the report also pointed out that the back and structural frame of the Galaxy Z Fold SE are made of titanium, which is different from the traditional steel used in the past Z Fold series. Compared to steel, titanium has a stronger hardness and lighter weight, making it a good choice for creating a slim profile, but it is more difficult from a processing point of view. In addition, to support the S Pen stylus, the back panel of the standard Z Fold series will be made of carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CERP) to prevent the sensing function of the S Pen However, since the Fold SE does not support the style, there is no need to consider intervention.
