Watch Shane’s video for an explanation of the water drop/dumbell hinge design that Samsung will reportedly use on the ZF5 to minimize screen creasing:
Unfortunately - that design image and his explanation makes me even more concerned about NO silo since they are obviously using the extra 0.2mm per side to accommodate the internal storage of the screen itself…
One thing that people continue to discount is how incredibly complex the folds hinge/screen tech is. And adding a silo except possibly along one edge of the device would make it all the more so. Especially if they put it in the center as most would like.
And I think Samsung is unlikely to ever do that as among other things it would make the device asymmetrical which is antithetical to Samsungs current design ethos.
If they ever do add a silo, I really don’t expect it along the hinge.
There’s already far too much going on in there for it to be worth it, especially if they also want to have the pen have Bluetooth too.
Down a side would be much better and easier to do, probably the one without the camera module. And people are still complaining that the outer display is too narrow, so they could use the few extra mm to make that wider too. Or, you know, add some physical/tactile buttons or something…
