Samsung's foldable phones are gay sex videos porn gifsamong the best you can buy, but they all suffer from an annoying issue: when you fully unfold the device, there's a visible crease down the middle, where the hinge mechanism resides.
This may change with the next generation of Samsung's foldable flagship, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5. Korean outlet Naver (via SamMobile), claims that Samsung has implemented a "waterdrop" design for the phone's hinge, allowing it to be completely flat when unfolded, and without a noticeable gap between its halves when folded.

If the report is accurate, Samsung wouldn't be the first to have such a hinge on a foldable phone. For example, Motorola Razr 2022 has a similar design, and it has almost no crease when unfolded. But Samsung sells a lot more foldable phones than any other company, so this is a big deal (if you like fully flat displays).

The report doesn't mention anything about Samsung's other foldables, but it's reasonable to expect that the company will eventually integrate the waterdrop-shaped display in all its foldable phones.
