The shot depicts the undersides of two devices, the U-shaped Galaxy Z Fold 4, and an unknown prototype with a teardrop-shaped hinge (via Naver). When folded, there doesn’t appear to be any space between the two parts of the prototype, making it more compact than the Z Fold 4.

The Hinges Are a Combination of U-shaped and Teardrop Shapes
Samsung has been attempting to reduce production costs for the Galaxy Z Fold series by employing a U-shaped hinge, which will be used in the final product. A teardrop hinge is reported to be in the works for the Z Fold 5, though. What you see above and below could be a sneak peek at what the rest of this year has in store for us.

Even though we shouldn’t take this image as definitive proof of the Galaxy Z Fold 5’s final design—Samsung typically creates multiple prototypes before settling on a single concept—it does provide a glimpse at what the next-generation foldable might look like.

Here is Samsung's water drop hinge compared to the Galaxy Z Fold4
The biggest reason for this change is because of the weight reduction and thickness reduction because of it closing flat. All I hope is the crease doesn't get worse. pic.twitter.com/n0qCPhnhLT

Speculation persists that Samsung will employ the U-shaped hinge once again for the Galaxy Z Flip 5, keeping production costs down and ensuring the continued success of the foldable flip phone line.
Samsung Electronics plans to apply the "droplet" hinge structure to the Galaxy Z Fold 5. Samsung internally calls it a "dumbbell" hinge. Waterdrop hinge + waterproof is finally here.
