Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5 dummies handled, still have a gap

10 July 2023
The new hinge on the Z5 generation was supposed to close the gap when the phones are folded, but that's not the case with these dummies.

                  justasmile, 10 Jul 2023That dummy is unrealistic. Samsung's Z flip 5 has o... moreI don't think phone dummies are meant to be realistic - most of the time the dummies are just used to make cases and accessories, making it completely realistic to the real product would be expensive.

                  That could explain the gap - the dummy likely uses a cheaper hinge.

                  I could be wrong and the real thing might have a gap, but we'll just have to wait and see.

                          hmm, 10 Jul 2023As i understand the screen can't be folded like paper ... morebecause the chinese phones can... 😁
                          less risk for foreign objects to enter the inner display while it is put on pocket...
                          or, we let it pass because it is samsung?

                              If this is the real one, then good luck to them trying to sell it. The battery and camera itself is already a disappointment

                                I don't think that this dummy reflects the actual dimensions.
                                The Fold5 has an alleged folded thickness of 13,4mm on both sides, i.e. no visual gap. This means the hinge side would be 2,4mm thinner compared to Fold4. This is a lot. Why on earth should Samsung use on Flip5 the old hinge?
                                Regarding the crease: it will be there of course, as wide as now, but probably less prominent.

                                        Wont the screen light interfere with taking pictures cause it's glowing all around the camera ?

                                        Never mind that you wont have more screen space with the 40 Ultra. It just gives more numbers on pixel per inch or something on the lines useless.
