Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 can be folded completely

Ever since the Galaxy Z Fold models have been around, this has been a real problem. Foldable cell phones simply cannot be folded up completely. There is always a gap in the hinge area through which dirt can get inside and damage the inner display. Exactly the problem should no longer exist with the Galaxy Z Fold 5. A first press photo that has now been leaked confirms this:

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 appears in the picture quite thin when opened and closed. Significantly thinner than the Galaxy Z Fold 4. Thanks to the new hinge, it can now be folded up completely, which favors this effect. Otherwise there will probably not be any major improvements. The stylus still cannot be inserted into the case, but it is there.

In addition to the Galaxy Z Fold 5, the Galaxy Z Flip 5 has also appeared again:

You can see that there significantly larger display on the outsidecutting the cameras. Motorola does a little better with the Razr 40 Ultra and uses the entire surface. The new hinge should also be used here, although it is not so easy to see in the picture.

For comparison, this is what the Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Galaxy Z Flip 4 look like:

Samsung event is coming soon

Samsung shouldn’t like the leaked pictures of the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Galaxy Z Flip 5 at all. This will somewhat destroy the surprise of the next Unpacked event at the end of July 2023. At the same time, the pictures also confirm the many rumors of the last few weeks and months regarding the new hinge on the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and the larger outer display on the Galaxy Z Flip 5.
