Leaks and rumors have already revealed almost everything about theSamsung Galaxy Z Fold 5andFlip 5. The company itself has confirmed that it will host itsnext Unpacked event in Seoul, South Korea, to unveil its 2023 foldables. Now, just a few hours after theFold 5’s marketing image leaked, leaving little to the imagination, the Z Flip 5 is joining the bandwagon.
The marketing render was first shared byMySmartPricebut that article has since been taken down and you may see the image below from OnLeaks. It shows the big new cover display on Samsung’s upcoming clamshell foldable. To make space for the larger screen, Samsung had to reposition the cameras and LED flash horizontally. If rumors are correct, the 12MP primary and ultra-wide sensors will remain unchanged.
Leaks previously revealed that the Z Flip 5’s outer screencould measure around 3.4 inches, a big jump from theFlip 4’s 1.9-inch panel. While a wee bit smaller than theMoto Razr+’s 3.6-inch screen, the Flip 5 is set to have a bigger cover display than the likes of the Oppo Find N2 Flip and Vivo X Flip.
From the marketing image, it’s evident you may use the cover display as a viewfinder for the dual cameras. Plus, it will also show a nice Now Playing widget, enabling you to control music playback from the cover screen easily.Google reports plans to optimize Maps, YouTube, and Messages for Flip 5’s outer display. So, you can easily get navigation directions or send messages to your friend without flipping open the phone.
Samsung is also set to optimize its apps for the bigger screen. The company should provide more details about how it plans to take advantage of the additional screen real estate at its Unpacked event in late July. That is, if those details don’t leak out before that.
Other changes will seemingly be minor on the Flip 5, with Samsung focusing on internal upgrades. This includes the switch to a more efficient Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 ‘for Galaxy’ chip, 8GB RAM, and faster UFS 4.0 storage.
