The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 will be the main member of the family of folding devices that the South Korean company will unveil at the end of July. It will be one of the company’s most important launches in 2023, reflecting the best that its engineers are capable of developing.
Rumors point to a smartphone not very different from its predecessor, although it brings some improvements that will improve the user experience. These novelties can already be seen in these real images of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5.
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 shows off its new hinge mechanism
The images that we now share were shared on Twitter by the user Ahmed Qwaider. Such illustrations reveal some physical details of this foldable, namely the new hinge mechanism of its screen.
According to various rumors, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 will feature a new hinge in the shape of a drop of water. We can’t verify what this will mean for the display crease bump as we don’t have an image of the device open.
Still, you can see that the gap between the two parts of the screen will be much smaller when it is closed. An advantage not only for the aesthetic section of the Galaxy Z Fold 5, but also for its protection against dust and other materials that may compromise the integrity of the screen.
This type of mechanism is not new in the universe of folding smartphones, with brands like Xiaomi, Oppo or Huawei doing the same. In all cases we see that the device closes almost completely, as we see in the images of the Galaxy Z Fold 5.
Looking at its back, we see a small change in the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5’s camera module. Strictly speaking, what distinguishes it from its predecessor is the position of its flash to the right of the module, instead of being below it. .
We can also verify the presence of two columns (at the bottom and at the top) and four microphones (one at the bottom, three at the top). Details that will improve sound capture and playback on the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5.
