Samsung is reportedly working on the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Galaxy Z Flip 5. It is likely that the South Korean tech giant will hold a Galaxy Unpacked event in August to announce these foldables. In a recent tweet, reliable tipster Ice Universe leaked key details about the Z Fold 5 and Z Flip 5.
According to the tipster, the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and the Z Flip will be equipped with the new water droplet hinge technology and new screen technology. Both devices will offer IPX8-rated water resistance.
The Galaxy Z Flip 5 will feature slimmer bezels around the inner foldable display. He added that the Z Flip will have an almost square-shaped design measuring around 3.4 inches. A new report that was published earlier today carried concept renders of the device. It revealed that the device may also feature another small-sized cover display, which can show information such as a clock, battery status, and AR emojis. On the other hand, the larger external display may show notifications and give access to widgets.
The Galaxy Z Fold 5’s size will be only 0.2mm different from that of its predecessor, the Galaxy Z Fold 4. It will have a 6.2-inch outer display like the Z Fold 4. It appears that because of the implementation of the new hinge, the gap between the two halves will reduce. Hence, the thickness of the Z Fold 5 will be around 13.x mm when folded. While the Z Fold 4 weighs around 263 grams, the Z Fold 5 is likely to weigh around 254 grams.
Like the Galaxy Z Flip 5, the Z Fold 5 is also expected to feature the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy chipset. A recent report revealed that the device will feature a 50-megapixel (main) + 12-megapixel (ultra-wide) + 10-megapixel (telephoto) triple camera unit, which is the same camera setup that is available on the Galaxy S23 Plus.
