The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5 will reportedly bring a new hinge to its foldable display design, allegedly eliminating the crease usually found on Samsung's flagship foldables. [caption id="attachment_325536" align="alignnone" width="647"] Samsung's New Waterdrop Display Structure For Foldables[/caption] According to Naver News, Samsung's upcoming flagship foldable will use a "waterdrop" display structure that will form a water droplet shape within the hinge's body. This means that when the screen is folded, both sides are able to come into contact without gaps, thus removing the crease from the main display. Before this waterdrop design, Samsung's foldable smartphones usually adopted a "U-shaped" structure for the display hinge. The focus of the U-shape design was to provide more durability to the foldable display. However, this design slightly lifted both parts of the display when in use, which caused the visible crease. The live demo unit of Huawei's contender for the foldable smartphone competition, the Mate X, has leaked ahead of its launch. Samsung is set to reveal its foldable phone along with the Galaxy S10 series launch in a couple of days.
