The Galaxy Z Fold 5 may get rid of the display crease by shedding a teardrop
TheGalaxy Z Foldseries is comprised of Samsung’s most complexly-designed smartphones which are among thebest phonesyou can buy. Being foldable, a phone not only needs to pack a screen that can bend, but needs to ensure it can reliably fold and unfold without damaging itself. As such, the Fold has had to iterate through some cracked and creasy growing pains, but we may see some relief from these aches with the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 5 if we’re to believe some new intelligence coming out of South Korea.

The component’s design will allow the device to fold completely shut with no gap between the top and bottom halves of the display when it is closed — something all its predecessors haven’t exactly been able to do.
Schematics from the patent show the hinge itself will also allow the panel to rest with a waterdrop-shaped bend in its middle while in the closed position — similar to that found in theMoto Razr— potentially lessening the stress placed on that portion of the screen and reducing any opportunity for creasing.
We’ll have to wait out another several months before we can see how the Galaxy Z Fold 5 looks. We’re hoping it’ll give theOppo Find Na run for its money. In the meantime,the Galaxy S23 seriesremains the center of our attention for now.
