We’ll see the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 around the middle of this year, and until then we’ll continue to hear various leaks about the phones. According to new information, the Z Fold 5 and Z Flip 5 models seem to have waterproofing and better hinges.
Ice Universe has confirmed that both phones will have waterdrop-style hinges, as shared on Chinese social network Weibo and Twitter. Thanks to this hinge system, when the phones are folded, both screen covers will fully “kiss” each other, so there will be no gaps between the covers when viewed from the side.
Confirmation: Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5 and Flip5 will adopt water drop hinges and support IPX8 waterproof.

On the other hand, the Galaxy Z Fold 5 seems to be a little thinner compared to its predecessor. While the predecessor model is 16 mm thick, it is among the leaks that the successor model will have a thickness of 13 mm. In addition, the new phones are said to be water resistant. This technology is already used in some phones from manufacturers, that is, it has been tested.
It’s worth keeping in mind that these rumors have been reported before, so this isn’t entirely new information. However, the fact that the phones are often on the agenda again near the release means that the leak may be true. So we can see these features in the Z Fold 5 and Z Flip 5 models.
