In the realm of foldable smartphones, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 stands out as a top-tier contender. While it may not outshine the likes of the Galaxy S23 Ultra or the Google Pixel 7 Pro in terms of raw specifications, it certainly doesn’t disappoint when it comes to delivering a well-rounded mobile experience. Durability is often a major concern with foldable devices, but thanks to JerryRigEverything’s recent Flip 5 torture test video, it’s become evident that this phone surpasses its predecessor in ruggedness. Now, the popular YouTuber is back with a comprehensive teardown of the Flip 5, allowing us to peek into its inner workings, especially the new hinge mechanism.

Zack, as part of the disassembly process, meticulously removes the protective bumper surrounding the inner folding display using a precision knife. He then deftly takes off the protective screen guard, which shields the folding panel from unsightly scratches. However, it’s important to note that if you happen to own a Galaxy Z Flip 5, Samsung advises against removing this protective layer. The tech giant even offers a free replacement in case it begins to peel after months of use.
Once inside, the teardown provides a close-up view of the bottom speaker grille and the cleverly placed foam balls. These foam balls play a crucial role in enhancing the volume and audio depth emanating from the speaker. Zack’s exploration also offers a glimpse of the two batteries residing within the Flip 5: one boasting a 2700mAh capacity and the other with 1000mAh. Samsung has introduced convenient pull tabs this time around to facilitate easier battery replacement, a significant departure from the excessive glue used in earlier foldable models.
Last but not least, we get a captivating look at the innovative hinge system employed by the Galaxy Z Flip 5. This hinge incorporates gears for additional durability, a feature that was proven during an astonishing test by another YouTuber who folded and unfolded the phone a staggering 400,000 times. Perhaps even more remarkable is Zack’s ability to reassemble the phone after such an arduous trial, and despite the extreme usage, it continued to function flawlessly.
For those contemplating the purchase of the Galaxy Z Flip 5 but harboring concerns about its resilience, both Zack’s earlier video and this insightful teardown affirm that this phone can withstand substantial wear and tear with ease. It’s a testament to Samsung’s commitment to delivering a robust and dependable foldable device.
