On August 5, Samsung will show the Galaxy Z Flip 5G along with the Galaxy Note 20 smartphones. This will not be a new model, but only a new version of the current one. Judging by the latest data from the TENAA database, no design changes are expected.

Also, the dimensions will not change – 167.3 x 73.6 x 7.2 mm with a weight of 183g. The smartphone will still have a small external screen with a diagonal of just over an inch. Cameras with a resolution of 12 megapixels will also remain in place.
Probably the only difference is the platform. TENAA talks about eight cores processor with a frequency of 3.09 GHz, that is, it seems that the new product will receive Snapdragon 865+. The amount of RAM and storage memory will not change – 8 and 256 GB, respectively.
So, we are waiting for only a slightly updated model with a new SoC that supports 5G networks. How much such a model will cost is unclear. On the one hand, the Snapdragon 865+ is more expensive than the Snapdragon 855, on the other hand, the Samsung margin on this device should initially have been rather big, so the company may not raise the prices.
Here is a reminder of the specifications of the original Galaxy Z Flip:
