Galaxy Z Fold 4 has been one of the best foldable smartphones released in 2022 as it offers a perfect balance between build quality, cameras, software and battery life. However, this does not mean that there is no room for improvement. The company needs to fix a design flaw that could bring it closer to the foldable phones that Chinese companies have recently launched, and it can do just that with the Galaxy Z Fold 5.

According to the news of the Korean publication Naver, Samsung will use a waterdrop-shaped hinge on the Galaxy Z Fold 5. This means that the next flagship foldable smartphone from the South Korean firm can be folded completely flat and when folded there will be no gap between the 2 halves of the phone. What’s more, the Galaxy Z Fold 5’s internal screen will be smoother and have less visible wrinkles. This is something Galaxy Z Fold fans have wanted for a long time.

However, unlike competing Chinese smartphone companies, Samsung also rates an IPX8 rating for water resistance. Galaxy Z Fold 5 will be an important smartphone in terms of design and experience with its flat folding design and water resistance. However, according to the information received, the phone will not have dust resistance.

In the report, it is stated that Samsung named the new hinge design ‘dumbbell’ and the company patented this design in 2016. Thanks to this new dumbbell hinge, the durability of the screen is also increased and it can withstand more folding and unfolding actions over its lifetime.
