[Concept] Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5 flaunts new design, waterdrop hinge
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5 is almost confirmed to get a new waterdrop hinge and 2023’s signature design. Ahead of the unveiling, concept creator HoiINDI posted the first concept renders of the upcoming foldable smartphone, which takes a lot of inspiration from rivals.
Ditching the U-shaped hinge design, Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5 is expected to feature a new waterdrop hinge to lessen the crease visibility and the gap appears at the center part when folded. The newly evolved hinge also helps the device to reduce the overall thickness and provide better handling.
Let’s explore the concept:
And yes! The most highlighting part of the Galaxy Z Fold5 is its new waterdrop hinge, which makes it way too thin. Samsung’s indirectly following in the footsteps of China-based foldable smartphone vendors such as Oppo, Xiaomi, and Honor.
The new waterdrop hinge nearly ends the biggest problem of the gap at the center area in the folded state. Not that all, but it also radically lessens wrinkles (commonly known as creases). And overall, the phone is going to be a masterpiece from Samsung this year.
The concept render shows that the Galaxy Z Fold5 also uses Samsung’s under-display camera technology, which first debuted with the Galaxy Z Fold3. The company greatly reduced the visibility of the UDC area in the Fold4, which looks almost invisible in the upcoming foldable.
When unfolded, the cover display area continues to bring the Infinity-O display to embed the selfie camera. As you can see in the concept, the device has way too less bezels than its predecessor, and the additionally expanded area of the hinge is decreased as well.
Talking about the rear side, the Galaxy Z Fold5 features a triple rear camera setup, ditching the camera bump of the Galaxy Z Fold4. Samsung could make this change to maintain its signature design strategy, however, the design might also be changed before the official launch.
Besides three camera sensors, the device has an LED flash so you can take stunning shots even in an insanely dark situation. On the right side, you will get the power button and volume rockers, while the left part is naturally reserved for the hinge.
Recently, it was reported that the Fold5 prototype with a waterdrop hinge will enter a rigorous testing phase, and if it passes, Samsung will proceed with the production of elements. Samsung could launch the Galaxy Z Fold5 smartphone in August 2023, however, an official announcement is yet to done.

Earlier, the same source disclosed that the South Korean tech giant would bring a significant camera upgrade to the Galaxy S25 and S25 Plus. These flagships are said to introduce a new Sony image sensor, ditching the conventional ISOCELL camera.
Countless leaks and rumors revealed most of the things about the Galaxy S24 series. In a recent development, a new leak indicates that Samsung is ditching the ISOCELL image sensor in favor of a new Sony Camera on its upcoming Galaxy S25 and S25 Plus.
According to tipster Revegnus, Samsung’s Galaxy S25 and S25 Plus smartphones might not use an ISOCELL camera sensor, with an upgrade to a new Sony Camera solution expected. It’s worth noting that there’s no camera hardware upgrade in the Galaxy S24 and S24 Plus.

Great news: The S25 and S25+ will no longer use the dreadful GN3 sensor; instead, they will feature Sony’s image sensor. I’m very happy! https://t.co/P6pxMEmyMl
