Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5 might not have screen crease due to new hinge design

Samsung might eliminate the screen crease with a new hinge design on its foldable phones. 

According to Naver, Samsung is planning to use a new waterdrop hinge mechanism on the Galaxy Z Fold5 which will eliminate the screen crease. The new mechanism will reportedly enable the folding screen to form a droplet shape inside the hinge. It is unclear at the moment if this is the same mechanism that display analyst Ross Young said would be coming to the Galaxy Z Flip5.

While Samsung's Galaxy Z devices have a noticeable crease on the foldable screen, rival brands have innovated and released foldable phones with creaseless screens such as the Honor Magic Vs. The Chinese phone maker uses an improved hinge design which allows the Honor Magic Vs to fold without gap.
