According to industry sources on July 31, the Galaxy Z8 series from Samsung Electronics has been attracting significant consumer interest since preorders began in Korea on July 22, with a surge in orders causing temporary delays to some sales channels. In particular, the Galaxy Z Fold 8 is being praised for greatly improving upon the usability limitations of previous foldable smartphones by featuring a thinner and lighter design, a wider screen, and enhanced portability and multitasking capabilities.


It is predicted that if consumer demand for foldable devices continues to expand in the premium smartphone market, the supply volume for core component manufacturers will also increase. FineMTech serves as a key example. FineMTech produces the 'foldable metal plate,' an internal hinge installed in foldable displays. This component is mounted inside the foldable OLED panel, allowing the device to be stably folded and unfolded, while also reinforcing the display against shocks and protecting the panel.


FineMTech has established competitiveness in the embedded hinge sector for foldable smartphones based on its ultra-precise laser processing and metal forming technologies. Recently, the company has been upgrading its processing technologies and proactively expanding its production capacity to meet growing demands for thinner foldable products, improved crease quality, and enhanced durability.



A FineMTech representative said, “We will further strengthen our presence in the global foldable components market based on our preemptively secured manufacturing infrastructure and precision processing technologies, in preparation for the entry of global smartphone manufacturers into the foldable market.”
