Design

edit

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 features a book-style foldable design and is constructed with an Armor Aluminum frame and Gorilla Glass Victus 2 on the cover screen and back panel. Compared to its predecessor Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4, the device is thinner and lighter when folded, due to a redesigned hinge mechanism that minimizes the gap between screens.[7][8]
