Rumor: Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5 and Flip5 to adopt creaseless waterdrop-hinge design
The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Flip 5 rumor mill is buzzing again and this time it's about their hinges and water resistance. A new leak has surfaced stating that both devices will be equipped with waterdrop hinges, thus eliminating the unsightly gap that forms when you close the device shut and the crease that can be seen when the device is open.
The reports of the waterdrop hinges coming to the Fold started circulating last month, but this time there is a new twist. Reportedly, not only will the Fold 5 and the Flip 5 be equipped with these hinges, but also support IPX8 water resistance to go with it.
The reports are coming from renowned leaker Ice Universe, who has a pretty reliable record when it comes to Samsung devices. This was then reported on by GSM Arena with an illustration on what the hinge will reportedly look like.
