The Galaxy Z Flip 5 is launching later this month at Samsung’s unpacked event. The phone is said to be a solid upgrade over its predecessor, bringing a larger folder-shaped cover display and a powerful Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor. The Korean company was also rumored to replace the previous hinge with a new droplet-style hinge, which was supposed to minimize the gap. However, recently leaked dummies of the Galaxy Z Flip 5 show it will continue to have a hinge gap.
The gap is still there but at least you get a larger cover display
A recent post on Slashleaks features images and a brief video showcasing the dummy unit of the Galaxy Z Flip 5. In the images, you can see a larger folder icon-shaped cover display on the outside, accompanied by two camera modules. The rest of the design seems to be similar to last year’s model, from the fingerprint sensor to the hinge.
The latest leak shows that the gap in the folded Galaxy Z Flip 5 still remains visible. Samsung was rumored to be adopting a new droplet-style hinge design. This hinge design would have left more space for the display to fold, which would have helped to reduce the gap. However, the dummies show the gap is still visible, even with the new hinge design. This is disappointing for some fans, who were hoping for a more seamless folding experience.
It’s worth noting that the dummy units could vary from the original models, so you may not see this visible gap on the units you purchase. Just a reminder, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 and Z Fold 5, along with a new generation of Galaxy Watch 6 and Galaxy Tab S9, will be unveiled on July 26th.
