Samsung will sein Falthandy mit neuem Scharnier verbessern

By Ninian Carter

January 18, 2023 - Samsung dürfte ein neues, tropfenförmiges Scharnier bei seinem nächsten Falthandy, dem Galaxy Z Fold5, vorstellen. Es reduziert die sichtbare Falte in der Mitte.

Samsung is the market leader in foldable phones, but their design is far from perfect, with every model released so far suffering from a visible crease down the centre of the screen when opened.

However, the next generation Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5 may feature a new “teardrop” hinge design, originally patented in 2016, according to South Korean technology platform, Naver.

The new hinge assembly will potentially lessen the stress placed on that portion of the screen – reducing the opportunity for creasing.

It will also allow the device to fully close with both halves of the screen pressed flush against each other, something its predecessors have been unable to do – allowing dirt and pocked fluff to infiltrate the screen near the hinge.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5 is expected to come to market in August 2023.
