There have been rumors about Samsung developing a new, waterdrop-shaped hinge for the Galaxy Z Flip 5 and the Galaxy Z Fold 5. It could be similar to waterdr0p-shaped hinges found inside new-generation foldable phones from brands like Huawei, OPPO, Vivo, and Xiaomi. It removes the gap between the two folding halves of a phone and reduces the crease on the internal screen.

In the image below, you can see the Galaxy Z Fold 5's rear camera setup. It still has three rear-facing cameras, similar to the Galaxy Z Fold 4. However, Samsung has changed the position of the LED flash, which is now placed on the right side of the camera sensors. It is expected that the Galaxy Z Fold 5 will have a 50MP primary camera, a 12MP ultrawide camera, and a 10MP telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom.
