The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5, the successor to the Galaxy Flip 4, will be soon unveiled. Of course, different leaks of the foldable will surface online before its scheduled date. Recent leaks of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 reveal the outer display of the smartphone.
The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 display
Ice Universe, a trustworthy Samsung leaker, has compiled a few continuing details about the Galaxy Z Flip 5 and Galaxy Z Fold 5 to provide updates and explanations. Ice initially reiterates in the tweet that both smartphones would use Samsung’s new “droplet” hinge design. This revised design, as we’ve been hearing for a few months now, exerts less stress on the folded display, resulting in a less apparent and significant crease, and is more in line with what firms like Oppo have been doing. Both phones appear to be IPX8 water-resistant.
We also learn more about the Galaxy Z Flip 5, notably its outside display. According to /ce, the Galaxy Z Flip 5 will have a 3.4-inch cover display, up from 1.9 inches on the Flip 4, and larger than the Oppo Find N2 Flip’s 3.26-inch display. This is consistent with prior rumors, although /ce adds that the display will be “nearly square” and will take up the majority of the area on the phone’s exterior. The Flip 5 will reportedly have reduced bezels on the inside display.
In terms of the Galaxy Z Fold 5, Ice claims that, despite rumors, the outside hardware will not change much other than the new hinge. The outside screen remains 6.2 inches in size, with a thickness of barely 0.2mm at its thinnest point. The phone will, however, feel considerably slimmer because the redesigned hinge keeps the 13mm thickness consistent throughout the whole device.
Lastly, the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Flip 5 will feature “revolutionary touch screen technology” and will use the same Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Samsung processor as the Galaxy S23 series. Samsung is anticipated to release the next generation of foldables this summer.
