How is it that phones (like the Flip5) can just fold over without the screen breaking?

Like, it feels like glass on top, and I know there’s a hinge, but how are they able to fold with seemingly no issues (like not even the image distorting) or even hiding the gap?

The materials used in foldable screens were specially designed to be able to fold without breaking. Because the surface material is also the outside of the hinge, there is no gap to hide.

The image doesn’t distort because nothing is changing in the way the image is produced. It is still being created by millions of LED lights under the screen; they have not moved relative to the screen so there’s nothing to cause distortion.
