Future Samsung Galaxy Z Fold phones could fold inward and outward thanks to a new prototype folding phone hinge.
Demonstrated at CES 2023, the Samsung Display prototype has a different hinge design that is said to create a less obvious crease on the screen. The "water-drop hinge" is believed to enable the foldable display to form a waterdrop shape when folded inward, and exert less stress on the display.

The Verge speculates that the prototype folding phone hinge could debut on the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5. Korean site Naver recently reported Samsung is planning to use a new waterdrop hinge mechanism on the Galaxy Z Fold5 which will eliminate the screen crease.
