A thinner MIX Fold 2, but…
If we compare the two foldings of the two brands in the thick emerges victorious the one launched on the market by the Chinese company Xiaomi. Especially since in this type of foldable like the Z Fold 4, that its thickness is as thin as possible is a great advantage when it is worn folded; because in the end it’s always like having two smartphones stuck in your pocket.
Logical the advantage of the Xiaomi solution thanks to its raindrop hinge that, and you should know, Samsung has already tested its foldables, even if it finally decided not to use it because of a feature it wanted to bring to its Galaxy Z Fold 4, its resistance to ‘water.
You should know that the previous Galaxy Z Flip 3 and Z Fold 3 were the first foldables with water resistance and, of course, the Samsung company wanted to keep this functionality in both terminals.

Via SamMobile, we know that Ross Young, CEO of Display Supply Chain Consultants, said that Samsung had tested different models of hingesincluding one similar to the one used by Xiaomi in its MIX Fold 2, with those advantages of thickness and a not so prominent fold.

But the reason for not using this type of design was because not yet waterproof, and for the Korean brand it is untouchable that one of its devices exceeding 1,000 dollars does not offer this functionality to the user. In other words, if you pay such an amount, your device must be waterproof.
That doesn’t take away from Samsung continue to invest large sums of money by improving its hinge design so that its crease is less noticeable and even reaches the thickness of the Xiaomi crease at some point.
