Samsung has been gearing up to launch its highly anticipated Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Galaxy Z Flip 5 foldable smartphones in the market soon. But prior to the official announcement, a new report has finally offered us a first look at the Galaxy Z Flip 5 model via a leaked render.

Here’s a first look at the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 with its large cover display

The news arrives from a MySmartPrice report, who shared new design render of the Galaxy Z Flip 5. Sources close to the matter have leaked the render of the upcoming foldable phone, which finally offers us a first look at the device. Looking at this render, we can see the design of the device, which confirms the large new cover display on the Galaxy Z Flip 5. For those unaware, the upcoming Flip model has been rumored to feature a taller 3.4 inch external display. This is much bigger than the 1.9 inch that was seen in previous iterations. Notably, this makes it even larger than the 3.26 inch display found in the Oppo Find N2 Flip as well.

The dual camera setup is housed horizontally with the cover display situated right beneath it. Thanks to the higher screen real estate, the device will likely be able to add more functionality and display more information on this panel. The screen is not a simple squarish panel as the region below the camera module curves downward. Meanwhile, the LED flash is now housed right next to the dual camera setup. One such example is it being used as a better viewfinder for taking selfies with the higher resolution rear cameras. Rather than curving underneath the cameras, the design would’ve appeared to be a lot more seamless if the cover panel covered the entire rear with cutouts for the rear cameras. But this is likely a conscious choice by the brand and does not outright copy the design language of its competitor.

Based on what we know so far, the Galaxy Z Flip 5 will feature a tall 6.7 inch primary AMOLED display that has a 120Hz refresh rate and Full HD+ resolution. Under the hood, it will feature the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC and will be powered by a 3,700mAh battery pack that might support 25W fast charging. The rear will likely retain the 12 megapixel dual camera setup while the front houses a 12 megapixel selfie shooter. Samsung’s next gen clamshell folding phone will run on Android 13 OS based OneUI 5.1 out of the box and house a side mounted fingerprint scanner for security. The render leak didn’t revealed any other finer details, so stick around for more updates.
