Samsung’s upcoming release of the Galaxy Z Fold 5 has been generating a lot of buzz in the foldable market. Recently, OnLeaks and SmartPrix published a set of CAD-based renders, providing us with our first glimpse of what the device may look like. While the renders suggest that the Galaxy Z Fold 5 may not have undergone significant design changes, there are still notable improvements to look forward to.
Galaxy Z Fold 5’s design revealed in leaked renders:
The back of the Galaxy Z Fold 5 features a raised camera bump for the three camera sensors. The LED Flash is now situated on the side instead of the bottom, giving the design a cleaner look. The frame is slightly curved on the edges, adding to the device’s sleekness. The aspect ratio of the phone remains almost the same, with a tall and narrow outer display that leads to an almost square inner display, which is a little bit taller than it is wide.
One significant improvement is the device’s reduced thickness when closed. The Galaxy Z Fold 5 will measure 154.9 x 67.1 x 13.5mm when closed, making it considerably thinner than its predecessors, thanks to the new hinge that uses a “droplet” design. This new hinge design means that there will no longer be a gap when the device is closed, which will likely provide a smoother, more seamless experience for users.
When the device is open, the Galaxy Z Fold 5 will measure 154.9 x 129.9 x 6.3mm, which is slightly smaller in each dimension except for thickness, which remains unchanged from the Fold 4.
Despite the lack of significant design changes, the new “droplet” hinge is a noteworthy addition that will allow for a more compact, thinner device, and may finally provide a solution to the infamous crease issue that plagued previous models.
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 leaked specs:
According to a recent leak, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 will feature a 7.6-inch AMOLED primary display and a 6.2-inch AMOLED external screen, both with 120Hz refresh rate and brighter than the previous generation. It will have an under-display selfie camera, a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC with 12GB RAM and up to 1TB storage, and a triple camera setup with 50MP, 12MP, and 10MP sensors. Other improvements include Gorilla Glass Victus 2, IPX8 water resistance, S Pen support, improved speakers, and Android 13 OS with One UI 5.1.1.
Samsung is expected to unveil the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Flip 5 in August, but according to recent reports, the devices can be launched earlier than expected. The foldable market is continuously evolving, and Samsung’s new releases are sure to be exciting additions.
