With rumors surrounding the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Galaxy Z Flip 5 gaining attraction online, tech enthusiasts are eagerly anticipating Samsung’s latest innovations in the foldable smartphone market. The two upcoming folding smartphones are expected to replace the current Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Flip 4 models, promising substantial improvements that will enhance the user experience and durability without compromising on design.
Twitter insider Ice Universe has offered insights into the latest rumors surrounding the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Z Flip 5. He is one of the popular insiders in the smartphone industry and has a good track record of leaking details about products before the official announcement. So, let’s dive into some of the most significant changes that we expect to characterize these foldables.
A new hinge on the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Galaxy Z Flip 5

One of the most significant differences between the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and its predecessor, the Fold 4, will be the hinge. Samsung has reportedly opted for a drop solution that will reduce the visibility of the crease in the center. This transition will decrease the thickness of the device from 15.8-14.2mm to approximately 13mm. Moreover, both sides of the foldable should close like a book, leaving no space between them.
The upcoming foldable is expected to have almost identical dimensions to the current generation, with a mere 0.2mm difference. The device’s weight is also expected to be lighter, at 254 grams, which is nine grams less than the Galaxy Z Fold 4. Additionally, the external display of the device will reportedly remain at 6.2 inches and will not undergo any significant changes.
Other notable features that are expected to be included in the Galaxy Z Fold 5 are a new technology for the touch screen, Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 mobile platform, IPX8 water resistance, and ISOCELL GN3 main sensor (not the ISOCELL HP2 found on the Galaxy S23 Ultra).

The Galaxy Z Flip 5 is the second foldable smartphone to launch by Samsung next summer. Similar to the Galaxy Z Fold 5, the Z Flip 5 is also expected to feature a teardrop hinge. As for the displays, the leaker claims that the internal one will be narrower, but no further details have been shared. Meanwhile, the external display will reportedly be almost square at 3.4 inches. If the rumors are true, this would be a substantial upgrade from the external display of the Galaxy Z Flip 4, which measures just 1.9 inches. With an almost double diagonal, the screen would occupy a good part of the external body.
