Samsung is set to release its new foldable smartphone, the Galaxy Z Flip 5, and tech enthusiasts are already buzzing with excitement about its rumored upgrades. According to a recent tweet by tech insider Ice Universe, the device will have a 3.4-inch external screen, larger than its predecessors, and with a resolution of 720 x 748 pixels and a pixel density of 305 PPI.

A bigger cover display for more convenience

With a bigger external screen, users can expect more convenient usage for everyday tasks such as checking notifications and widgets. The larger display may also bring new UI changes and software features from Samsung, though it remains to be seen whether full app usage will be allowed directly on the cover display.

Primary foldable OLED screen with reduced crease visibility

The Galaxy Z Flip 5 is expected to have a primary foldable OLED screen with a waterdrop-shaped hinge, which could reduce the visibility of the screen crease and eliminate the gap between the two halves of the phone.

Other rumored specs include a 12MP primary camera sensor, a 12MP ultrawide camera, a 10MP selfie camera, a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy processor, 8GB RAM, 256GB internal storage, a fingerprint reader, and an IPX8 rating.

Galaxy Z Flip 5’s expected release date

Rumors suggest that Samsung may launch the Galaxy Z Flip 5 earlier than expected along with the Galaxy Z Fold 5. The Galaxy Z Flip 5 has also been recently spotted in CAD renders, showing a redesigned cover display. Interestingly, a new render video reveals that the folder-shaped cover display will not be visible when the display is turned off because it will have a black back panel.

Overall, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 is shaping up to be one of the most promising foldable phones yet, with notable upgrades to its external screen and primary foldable OLED screen. With its expected release date drawing near, many are eager to get their hands on this innovative device.
