Interestingly, there are some official particulars too – the Z Flip5 is featured closely in Samsung’s promotion of the upcoming Z collection, extra so than the pricier Z Fold5.
Bigger cowl show
The greatest change, fairly actually, is the duvet show. It’s ballooned up from a barely-usable 1.9-inches and 260x512px to a 3.4-inch 720x748px display screen that takes many of the cowl.

IP58 resistance
Samsung was the primary – and for some time solely – firm to make foldable telephones with water resistance. The IPX8 ranking is as excessive as non-rugged telephones go and makes brief dips in water (as much as 1m for half-hour) not a difficulty
There had been rumors that Samsung will debut IP5X safety (towards mud) with the Z5 era. However, Ice Universe was fast to shoot down these rumors – the Galaxy Z Flip5 (and Z Fold5) will stay IPX8 rated and there will probably be no IP5X.
Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 with 8GB of RAM
This is slightly apparent, however the Galaxy Z Flip5 will get a bump to the most recent Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy (which means a higher-clocked model than the usual one) with 8GB of RAM, and 128GB (UFS 3.1) and 256GB (UFS 4.0) variations.

While with regards to specs, the Galaxy Z Flip5 will hold the three,700mAh battery and 25W charging pace from its predecessor, in addition to the show and digital camera specs – which means a 6.7-inch FHD+ show with a 120Hz refresh fee, and three cameras – an ultrawide and a large and the again, and a selfie on the within.
The display screen may get a bump in brightness and the cameras a bump in lenses or sensors.
Also on the specs facet, count on the Galaxy Z Flip5 to get DeX help. To use it, you want a suitable HDMI cable or wirelessly on TVs and displays that help Miracast. On PCs, you solely want a USB cable, offered the OS is Windows 10 or Windows 11.
Release and worth
The Galaxy Unpacked occasion is about for July 26 and pre-orders for the brand new units ought to begin that very same night. Samsung sometimes waits for the primary Friday that comes two weeks after the announcement to start out open gross sales, which on this case falls on August 11.
Early rumors on the worth talked about a modest improve, however a leak from Samsung itself confirmed a extra important bump – we may very well be a €1,300 price ticket for the bottom Galaxy Z Flip5. Different EU nations have totally different VAT, so it is laborious to nail down the distinction between the 128GB and 256GB mannequin.
This may not be significantly related in the course of the pre-order interval anyway, as Samsung ought to provide a free storage improve as a pre-order perk (much like the S23 collection launch).
Samsung elevated the S23 costs in most nations, although the US and Canada had been spared. So there’s a likelihood that the Z Flip5 worth hike will probably be restricted to some areas, we simply have not seen a worth leak from North America but.
Finally, Samsung is rumored to double the manufacturing for the Galaxy Z Flip5 over its predecessor, signaling increased expectations.
