The Galaxy Z Fold 5 could be a lot thinner thanks to Samsung’s teardrop hinge

If you were being pedantic, you might call Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 4 a bendable rather than a foldable. Its hinge, while one of the best in the business from a usability standpoint, doesn’t allow the two halves of the flexible AMOLED inner screen to come together, instead leaving a gap that adds a substantial bit of girth to the phone’s folded form. This has been the case ever since the first Galaxy Fold debuted four years ago, but the latest leaks seem to indicate that the Galaxy Z Fold 5 will fold completely flat.
