The manufacturing large is launching new foldable units later within the 12 months, and the Z Flip line is its star performer. Contrary to what some may assume, the Galaxy Z Flip 4 outsold the Z Fold 4 final 12 months. So with Samsung eager to pivot extra of its focus towards foldable strains, there’s no purpose to imagine there received’t be a Z Flip 5. The huge query is, what is going to the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 release date be?

We’ll reply that and a number of other associated questions on this fast information.

• Samsung Galaxy Z Flip — February 14, 2020
• Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5G — August 7, 2020
• Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 — August 24, 2021
• Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 — August 10, 2022

Until just lately, we had assumed that we’d see the Galaxy Z Flip 5 launch in August 2023. This was based mostly on the truth that the final three iterations of the telephone have launched in August in consecutive years. The solely outlier was the primary era of the machine, which arrived in February 2020. Even then, a 5G mannequin adopted that August.

Recent developments recommend that our guess was a bit off, though solely by a matter of days. Samsung just lately confirmed that it would launch its new vary of foldable telephones — undoubtedly together with the Galaxy Z Flip 5 —on the finish of July in its house nation of Seoul throughout its twenty seventh Galaxy Unpacked occasion.

That’s as a lot as we’ve had formally confirmed, however we could be a bit extra particular with some extent of certainty. According to Korean media outlet Chosun, the occasion can be held on July 26, which is sensible to us. Samsung traditionally likes to carry these occasions on Wednesdays. Given that that is the final Wednesday of that month, and maybe the one one which could possibly be thought-about as ‘late July,’ it’s very credible that this would be the day to mark in your calendars.

We can’t say this for certain, however each historical past and leaks recommend that you simply received’t be capable to purchase the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 on the launch date.

Samsung’s most well-liked strategy lately has been to launch the newest flagship telephones at a Galaxy Unpacked occasion and make them obtainable for pre-order on the identical day. The telephone would then hit the cabinets a few weeks later. This was what we anticipated on the launch of the Galaxy S23 line, and that’s how it unfolded. It’s additionally true of the release schedule for earlier generations of the foldable units. The Galaxy Z Flip 4 launched on August 10, 2022, and have become that can be purchased 16 days afterward August 26.

This 16-day pre-order interval tallies with the aforementioned leaks from Chosun, with the supply claiming that the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 release date is Friday, August 11, 2023. This would additionally match Samsung’s tendency to have a Wednesday-Friday launch and release schedule.

It will stay to be seen if we will depend on historical past and leaks to know when the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 release date can be. These assumptions aren’t all the time a definitive information. While it’s a special producer, Google took us all a bit abruptly at releasing the Pixel 7a on the identical day of the announcement in May, opposite to its personal prior conference for a pre-order interval on the road. We’ll hold you posted after we hear extra.

There will undoubtedly be a livestream of the Galaxy Z Flip 5 launch. Samsung is releasing its newest foldable flagship units, which it is hoping is huge information within the tech world. They’re going to make a music and dance about it for that reason, which is why the Galaxy Unpacked occasions are all the time live-streamed.

The two finest locations to try to catch the Galaxy Unpacked livestream on July 26 can be on Samsung.com or on Samsung’s YouTube channel. We’ll additionally hyperlink the stream reside on Android Authority and provide the newest perception on what’s popping out of the occasion.

Samsung has already confirmed that it is launching its newest set of foldables on the upcoming occasion, so the obvious candidate to seem alongside the Galaxy Z Flip 5 is, naturally, the Galaxy Z Fold 5. The rumors and bulletins concerning the Galaxy Z Fold 5 are the identical or mirror these of the smaller sibling, so we’d be amazed if it didn’t make an look. Facing recent competitors within the face of the Google Pixel Fold, Samsung can be seeking to release a stable improve to its premium foldable and retain its dominance on this market.

It’s a bit early to be speaking concerning the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro. Unlike the flagship telephones, Samsung doesn’t are inclined to release a brand new set of earbuds in every line yearly. But there are two ranges of Galaxy Buds, and the unique wi-fi earbuds are due for an improve. We assume it’s a fairly good wager that we’ll see the Galaxy Buds 3 unveiled on the upcoming Unpacked occasion. The authentic Galaxy Buds have been launched in March 2019, and the second era debuted in August 2021. If this approximate two-year hole is to be maintained, it stands to purpose that this would be the audio {hardware} to accompany the brand new handsets.

Another robust contender you may hold your hat on is the Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 vary. Samsung’s flagship wearable has been successful annually following annual releases, so it could be very unusual for the OEM to mothball it now. The final three iterations of the Galaxy Watch have all launched at an Unpacked occasion in August, main us to conclude that the smartwatch will seem alongside the Z Flip 5 in late July. What is much less clear is that if there can be a Classic model, as there was within the Galaxy Watch 4 vary, or a Pro model, as in the newest line. The latter could also be a bit extra possible, however possibly we’ll see each. Watch this area.

We’re anticipating a crowded subject at this occasion, because the rumors and hypothesis don’t cease there. There are credible leaks suggesting that this would be the occasion at which the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 will arrive, with Plus and Ultra variations to match that of the present Tab S8 lineup. There have been round 18 months between the launch of the Tab S7 and the Tab S8. The July 26 showcase comes kind of 18 months after the latter in February 2022, and with leaks together with mannequin numbers already throughout the web, you may count on to catch a primary glimpse of the newest slates that may undoubtedly dominate the Android pill market.

We can’t rule out Samsung introducing extra {hardware} on prime of all of this, with leaks earlier within the 12 months pointing to a second era of the Galaxy SmartTag seeming very credible. The second iteration of the tracker is more likely to function enhancements to wi-fi vary, safety, and battery life.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 release date could range a bit in several regional markets, however broadly, we count on the machine to be obtainable in each nation that Samsung often operates. There doesn’t look like any purpose why Samsung would have extra restricted attain for its new foldables as it had for the Galaxy Z Flip 4 and Z Fold 4, particularly within the face of recent competitors from Google and Motorola within the greatest markets.

The 2022 Samsung foldable lineup finally turned obtainable in over 130 nations worldwide. We’re anticipating the identical from the Galaxy Z Flip 5. Those nations embrace the US, Canada, Europe, Australia, India, and naturally, South Korea.
