Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5: South Korean tech giant Samsung is planning some changes to its flagship foldable smartphone – Galaxy Z Fold 5, which is expected to launch in August 2023. According to a report, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 will reportedly feature a “droplet” style hinge that is likely to reduce the crease in the screen.
Tipster Ice Universe claimed that Samsung internally refers to the design as a “dumbbell” hinge. This wouldn’t be the first time the company has updated its design, 9To5Google reported.
