New Delhi: Tech giant Samsung is upgrading the hinge of its upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 5 smartphone which is expected to withstand 2,00,000 folds, the media reported. Currently, the tech giant is underway on the "final" tests for the Z Fold 5`s new "waterdrop" hinge design, reports 9To5Google.
The screen is expected to flex inwards as the phone closes rather than folding at a tight radius. This will provide many advantages, including no gap when the phone is folded and a less noticeable crease on the display. (

With the new design, the phone will likely be thinner as compared to its predecessor Galaxy Z Fold 4. "Samsung's reliability testing of this new hinge and display panel, due to start next week, will test the build for 200,000 and 300,000 folds," the report said. (

In January this year, tipster Ice Universe had claimed that Z Fold 5 will feature a "droplet" style hinge that will likely lessen its display crease. It was also rumoured that the device will feature a 108MP primary rear camera and an in-built stylus pen (S Pen) slot.
