The new Flex Hinge plays a vital role in enabling the foldable experience while ensuring an aesthetically pleasing and robust design.
TM Roh, President and Head of the Mobile eXperience Business at Samsung Electronics, emphasized the company’s commitment to revolutionizing the mobile industry with foldable. As more people seek an unparalleled experience that can’t be found on any other device, Samsung’s foldable have been gaining popularity, making the Galaxy Z Flip5 and Galaxy Z Fold5 the latest examples of the company’s dedication to meeting customer needs through innovative technology.
