Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 debuts larger cover screen and gap-closing Flex Hinge

With each fold of a new generation, the smartphone industry edges closer to reimagining what a pocket-sized device can be. Samsung's Galaxy Z Flip 5, unveiled at its Unpacked event in July 2023, marks a meaningful step in that evolution — expanding the outer display fourfold and sealing the hinge gap that long undermined the form's promise. These are not merely incremental refinements; they are answers to the quiet frustrations users have carried, and a signal that the foldable era is maturing from novelty into genuine utility.
