Days ahead of the Galaxy Z Flip 5’s launch, Samsung is teasing its newly-designed hinge system, which is expected to eliminate the “hinge-gap” issue seen in previous generations.

The Galaxy Z Flip 5 is set to offer significant upgrades compared to its predecessor. The front display will be over three inches, more than double the size of the Z Flip 4’s outer display. This enhancement allows for easier device interaction even when the clamshell is closed. Both the Galaxy Z Flip 5 and its predecessor feature revamped hinge designs that eliminate the dead air space visible on the Flip 4 when closed.

Samsung India released a teaser video on Twitter showcasing the Galaxy Z Flip 5 in three colorways: Lavender, Mint, and Cream. The video demonstrates the opening and closing of the devices, providing a glimpse of the improved hinge design. The new hinge system exhibits a much tighter tolerance at the center, creating a more squared-off appearance compared to the tapered design of the Flip 4 when closed.

While the promotional video may be edited to appear perfect, the Galaxy Z Flip 5’s design holds the potential to impress if the final product indeed features a seamless hinge with no significant gaps. The Samsung Galaxy Unpacked event is scheduled for July 26, where the Flip 5 will be officially unveiled.
