Samsung is set to release its latest smartphone, the Galaxy Z Flip 5, which is rumored to feature an innovative “folder-shaped” cover display. According to the well-known tipster, Ice Universe, this new design will cover almost the entire half-shell of the phone, with an irregular edge that creates the shape of a folder.
The Galaxy Z Flip 5’s cover screen is expected to offer Samsung a unique opportunity to create new software features. While the phone’s cameras will prevent the cover display from running across the entire area of the half-shell, the folder-shaped design is expected to provide a bigger cover screen, lending more usability to the device.
This will be the second time Samsung has increased the size of the Galaxy Z Flip series’ cover display, following the Z Flip 3’s 1.9-inch cover display. The new Galaxy Z Flip 5 is expected to have a 3.4-inch panel, offering users an extended screen display.
Rumored Features of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5
Aside from the revolutionary folder-shaped cover display, the Galaxy Z Flip 5 is rumored to feature a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC for Galaxy, 25W wired charging support, and One UI 5.1.1 based on Google’s latest Android 13. It is expected to launch in 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB storage options and come in Beige, Gray, Light Green, and Light Pink hues.
The Galaxy Z Flip 5 is also expected to have a dual rear camera setup with a 12-megapixel primary sensor and a 12-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens, similar to the Z Flip 4. Meanwhile, the device is expected to retain the same 10MP selfie camera from the Flip 4, along with iPhone 14 Pro-like AOD functionality that allows users to customize their handset display.
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 Release Date
The Galaxy Z Flip 5 is rumored to launch in late July instead of the usual August schedule, succeeding last year’s Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4. Apart from the Galaxy Z Flip 5 and Fold 5, Samsung is also expected to unveil its Galaxy Tab S9 tablet and Galaxy Watch 6 with a brand-new chip.
Overall, the new folder-shaped cover display is a significant upgrade to the Galaxy Z Flip series, offering an extended display and unique software features. The upcoming Galaxy Z Flip 5 is sure to pique the interest of Samsung fans and tech enthusiasts alike, as they look forward to comparing it to its predecessors and other foldable smartphones on the market.
