Early Look: Samsung’s new droplet hinge could make Galaxy Z Fold 5 a masterpiece

Samsung is reportedly considering two kinds of hinges for the next Galaxy Z Fold smartphone. At the CES 2023, Samsung showcased a Galaxy Fold prototype with a waterdrop (droplet) hinge design, which could be commercialized with the Galaxy Z Fold 5.

As displayed at the Samsung CES 2023 booth, the Galaxy Fold with a waterdrop hinge design looks quite thinner than the Galaxy Z Fold 4. The company executive showcased the prototype of a smartphone having a droplet hinge and Galaxy Z Fold 4 side by side.

If the hinge design used by the prototype becomes reality, the Galaxy Z Fold 5 could be defined as a masterpiece by Samsung in terms of design. This hinge could not only reduce the thickness but make the foldable sleek and lightweight.

Past leaks promise that the Galaxy Z Fold 5 will have a dedicated slot for S Pen, which is delayed since the Galaxy Z Fold 4 production. Moreover, there will be a completely new camera hardware arrangement, including a massive 108MP primary sensor.

Samsung is likely to introduce the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Galaxy Z Flip 5 foldable smartphones during the August 2023 Unpacked event. Ahead of this, the Korean tech giant is preparing to showcase the Galaxy S23 series at the February 1st Unpacked.
