Lightweight and slim body: It weighs just 255g, measures 10.86mm thickness when folded, and when unfurled, it is 5.26mm thin.

Improved hinge mechanism: It is 8.6 per cent slimmer when folded and 12.5 per cent slimmer when unfolded. The hinge is also 8 per cent narrower and takes up 17 per cent less space.

. More durable hinge: Though it is slimmer compared to the one seen in the Fold 2, the new phone's hinge design ensures better protection against accidental drops. The main structure of the hinge is made of ultra-high strength steel, which has a yield strength of up to 1800MPa. This, in combination with the ultra-durable carbon ceramic steel rotating mechanism, contributes to further enhancing the reliability of the hinge.

The hinge boasts a 3-element connecting rod structure and has up to 14 micro-hinges, which is said to significantly improve the degree of freedom of the hinge and perfectly enable the curvature of the display.
