South Korean tech giant Samsung has launched its next-generation of foldable smartphones, the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Galaxy Z Flip 5, at the Samsung Galaxy Unpacked 2023 event in Seoul, South Korea.

One of the major highlights of the Flip 5 is the new hinge, which allows the phone to fold completely flat when closed. It also minimises the crease on the internal display. Besides that, there are a slew of hardware updates.
