The Galaxy Z Fold 8 could finally get rid of one of the worst things about foldables
TL;DR Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 8 will apparently use the same 'laser-drilled display metal plates' as the foldable iPhone.
These parts reportedly enable a crease-free screen on Apple's device, suggesting the Z Fold 8 won't have a display crease, either.
This would be a major step forward for the industry, as all foldable phones to date have a crease.
Samsung has just launched the Galaxy Z Fold 7, which has a dramatically thinner and lighter form factor than previous models. However, I only needed to unfold the device to notice the ever-present display crease. It looks like there's good news if you want a crease-free screen, though.
Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo tweeted (spotted via MacRumors) that the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 will use 'laser-drilled display metal plates to compete with the foldable iPhone.' Kuo adds that Apple's foldable uses these same parts to enable a crease-free design.
In other words, it sounds like the Galaxy Z Fold 8 could also gain a crease-free folding screen. If confirmed, this would finally remedy an issue that has persisted since the first Galaxy Fold back in 2019. Subsequent foldable phone releases have delivered much smaller display gutters, but no manufacturer has managed to eliminate them altogether.
It's also unclear whether the Galaxy Z Flip 8 will use these same parts and could, therefore, also gain a crease-free display. Nevertheless, we're glad to see the technology coming together to eliminate one of the more annoying things about foldable phones.

Jim Cramer Say's Notes That Campbell's Not PepsiCo, But Still in the Same League
The Campbell's Company (NASDAQ:CPB) is one of the stocks that Jim Cramer recently commented on. During the episode, Cramer called it a good company as he commented: 'I'm not going to go against a market that's signaling that interest rates are coming down. That's what today did. And the high fliers have flown too high, while the companies with good dividends have gotten too low. This is just temporary. So what are you supposed to do then? First, know that the rotations are not investible, but at best, they're tradable. Take Campbell's or General Mills, both yield almost 5%. Both are good companies, just not as good, maybe not as good as PepsiCo, but they're in the same league… So if people are craving chips and soda again, maybe they'll also crave food from General Mills and Campbell's, neither of which has the calories of Doritos or the chemicals of soda.' Jasni/ Campbell's (NASDAQ:CPB) produces food and beverage products, including soups, sauces, juices, frozen meals, snacks, and bakery items. The company distributes them through retail, foodservice, and e-commerce channels. While we acknowledge the potential of CPB as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk.

Jim Cramer On TKO Group: 'I'm Not a Player'
TKO Group Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:TKO) is one of the stocks that Jim Cramer looked at. When a caller asked about the company during the episode, Cramer said: 'Okay, that stock is a momentum stock, and I am saying that momentum's got two more days of downside, and it worries me. I'm not going to jump on the TKO bandwagon if we have two more days of momentum pain, I'm talking about [the house of pain], and I'm not a player.' Photo by dylan nolte on Unsplash TKO Group (NYSE:TKO) is the parent company of UFC and WWE and operates in sports and entertainment by managing intellectual property, producing and distributing live events and content. The company provides a streaming platform and monetizes through merchandising, sponsorships, and advertising. Cooper Investors Global Equities Fund stated the following regarding TKO Group Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:TKO) in its second quarter 2025 investor letter: 'TKO Group Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:TKO) is the owner and operator of the two leading combat sports content assets – the UFC and WWE.

Since making our initial investment, the company has also acquired Premier Bull Riding (PBR), sports marketing agency IMG and premium (sports) experience provider On Location (in a single transaction). The core UFC and WWE assets still account for the vast majority of TKO's economics.

Jim Cramer to Kohl's Short Sellers: 'Cover and Move On.'
Kohl's Corporation (NYSE:KSS) is one of the stocks that Jim Cramer looked at. During the episode, Cramer suggested that the short sellers cover their shorts and 'move on.' He commented: 'It all started on social media. I saw it on Reddit's Wall Street Bets section, it's time to buy the stock of Kohl's. Why? Because of the gigantic short position… It was all about the short position, which is close to 50%… of the float, yet nearly half of the shares that trade were sold short. Whenever you have such a huge short position, it's easy for buyers to get together online and orchestrate a short squeeze, defenestrating the hedge funds that are shorting it, to which I say, what the heck do the shorts, not the memesters, but the shorts think they're doing here?… This chain with the balance sheet that isn't all that bad simply should not be that heavily shorted down here. It's moronic. Kohl's may not be great, but it isn't terrible either… A man in black suit holding a tablet looks at stock market data on a monitor.
