Samsung’sbest foldable phonesstill suffer from a minor niggle: the visible crease between the two halves of the display, which is particularly visible on theSamsung Galaxy Z Fold 4. But a new report says that Samsung has found a way to make the crease much less obvious.
Droplet like it’s hot
The difference between the current Galaxy hinge in the Z Fold /Z Flip 4and the droplet/dumbbell hinge in rival devices is that the latter has a slightly lesser curve radius, which means there’s less of a crease when it’s unfolded.
The reason Samsung doesn’t use this design already is apparently due to water resistance, which Samsung was finding difficult to implement in the droplet design. That issue has reportedly been addressed, so the Galaxy Z Fold 5 will have the same water resistance as its predecessors.
We’re not expecting to see the new design revealed any time soon: the Galaxy Z Fold 5 launch date isn’t expected before August 2023. For now, Samsung’s phone focus is on theSamsung Galaxy S23range, which will be officially unveiled on 1 February.
