Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5 to have much larger cover display, invisible crease

01 December 2022
The outer screen will apparently be at least 3.3", up from 1.9" on the Flip4.

walkman8, 02 Dec 2022Can you explain, with your own words, not the explanation/e... more@Yukvgffh may have a theory as I do, but the core of the issue is the hinge, not the crease. All foldables have a crease.

If I'm not mistaken, Huawei has a total of 6 foldables. Motorola has 3. Moto introduced the teardrop hinge. They took two years following the Razr 5g to introduce a 2nd gen. Some may argue those foldables have better hardware than Samsung, but none are water resistant. Plus, Samsung is the only one that has even touched on the issue, so I trust what they've said. Huawei, Moto, Oppo or Honor could have easily come out and said otherwise to discredit them.

It's not by chance. The common denominator is the teardrop hinge. I believe if Huawei and Moto could make their foldables water resistant, they would. It's not a matter of can't do it. Somebody will, eventually. It's a matter of R&D which takes time and Samsung may be the only ones invested enough to take on the challenge.

    tekina, 02 Dec 2022There already is a better camera on par with the S22 on the Flip4incorrect. they put the S22 camera in the FOLD 4, not the flip 4. the only camera improvements Samsung made with the flip 4 is slightly better low light performance

      Jojo, 02 Dec 2022If you want an expandable phone wait for rollables next yea... moreyes, but the concept of a roll-able device has a quite small battery, due to the extremely small area where it can be put. it will be even smaller than the current foldables. Until solid state battery technology becomes readily available, a roll-able will not be worth it

        77, 02 Dec 2022I agree, also 18gb Ram and 600ppi, and smaller 6inch versio... more18 gigs of ram for the flip is overkill, so is a 4k display. at 6 inches, you can barely tell the difference between 1080p and 2k, 4k is completely unnecessary. plus, there doesn't need to be a smaller version. you guys pushing for compact phones don't realize that this is a compact phone, and fits in your hand and your pocket like a compact phone

          ArthurGD3, 02 Dec 2022As nice as that leaked Oppo N2 Flip looked, if that device ... moreleaks said it would be being sold "overseas" so we might see it here in north america

            77, 02 Dec 2022I agree, also 18gb Ram and 600ppi, and smaller 6inch versio... morebasically all of that is DUMB

                  "Samsung's Chinese competitors have consistently put out devices with less visible (and less palpable) creases in their folding screens..." which ones?

                      My S22U rooted gets hot at same level, who and why you holding touches the upper side for, who and why would anyone put hands or touch that section. As if electronics don't heat up, go away you're 5% whobnags 95% don't care, no one will take you seriously joker circus

                        That sounds like a great upgrade, if they also put a better camera sensors.

                          tekina, 02 Dec 2022There already is a better camera on par with the S22 on the Flip4Actually no the s22 has a better main camera with a bigger image sensor and also a 3x telephoto so while the flip 4 is not bad thanks to Samsung software processing it's still a little behind the vanilla s22

                            I tried flip 4 in the showroom and this thing was hot..easily 41-42 degree on idle mode..mb increase the width and put some colling into this device

                              Remember, back in the day it was thought that implementing ip rating on an phone won't be possible unless you wanted your phone to be ugly as CAT (Samsung S5). But 2 years later, lo and behold, one of the most beautiful devices with ip68 was presented (s7 edge)

                                tekina, 02 Dec 2022NoFor all those clueless, the Z Flip is already water resistant from the previous gen i.e flip3
