Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 could come with a better hinge and much obscure crease: Report

Many have touted the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 as the best-performing foldable smartphone of 2022. However, new foldable smartphones released by Chinese companies have highlighted the scope of improvement for the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4, as far as the design is concerned. It is believed that the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 will address the design flaw. 

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 design

A report published on Naver, which is a Korean publication, indicates that Samsung has created a waterdrop–shaped hinge in the upcoming folding smartphone. This means that the smartphone will be able to fold completely flat, something it hasn’t been able to do so far. The inner screen will end up looking flatter and have a crease that is less visible. This is a major change that most fans of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold smartphones have been asking for. 

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 will still be water-resistant!

Much like its predecessors, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 could also come with an IPX8 rating. However, it may not be dust resistant. 

This waterdrop hinge design has been called ‘dumbbell’ and it was patented by the brand all the way back in 2016. Clearly, Samsung had a long-term view of how the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold series will continue to develop as time goes on.
