The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 will benefit from a huge hinge upgrade that’ll allow the handset to achieve a virtually gapless folding design, according to a leaked render.

The image published byMySmartPriceshows a device that folds completely flat down the middle, minus the teardrop-like gap that’s been visible (and the cause of some issues) in previous versions.

Mobiles.co.uk is offering a great iPhone 14 contract deal with 100GB of data for just £33.99 a month and £39 up front.

Samsung has reportedly been working onimproving the hinge situationto allow that display to fold in half, and it appears that vision might come to fruition when the handset is unveiled next month.

Samsung will take the stage atUnpacked in Seoul in Julywhere it expected to reveal the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and the Galaxy Z Flip 5 to boost its foldable range. Samsung hasn’t confirmed the exact date, but it is thought to be pencilled in for July 27.

While theGalaxy Z Fold 4improved matters when it came to the visible gap between the two displays when the fold was folded like a closed book, the new render appears to show some real progress towards a major milestone in usability.

Hopefully this has been achieved without sacrificing the durability of the range, which overcame some serious teething problems in the first generation to become a genuine alternative to theGalaxy S seriesof flagship phones.

It is also thought Samsung’s foldables willget a dust resistance rating for the first time, this year. We wait with baited breath!
