Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5: What we know about it so far

Samsung is rumored to launch the Galaxy Z Fold 5 earlier than usual. The foldable phone is expected to release in late July. Ahead of its launch, reports have detailed everything from designs to the specifications of the upcoming foldable smartphone.  The render shows the slim and flat design of the foldable phone and also confirms support for S Pen.

As per reports, the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 will have a similar design as the predecessor, that is, the Galaxy Z Fold 4, but it will likely be more mature. What we mean is that the hinges and the folding mechanism could be improved.

Aside from changes in the folding mechanism, the Galaxy Z Fold 5 is expected to come with a 7.6-inch AMOLED display with a QHD+ resolution when unfolded. It is likely to feature a 120Hz refresh rate and have Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2 protection. The secondary display on the phone will be sized 6.2-inches. It will be an AMOLED panel with FHD+ resolution and 120Hz refresh rate.

The device will be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 System-on-Chip (SoC). For the unversed, this is the most powerful chip for mobile phones by Qualcomm. It’s an octa-core SoC based on the TSMC’s 4nm process. The Galaxy S23 lineup uses the same chipset.

Furthermore, reports suggest that the Galaxy Z Fold 5 will come with 8GB and 12GB of RAM options and 25GB, 512GB and 1TB of internal storage options. The foldable device is expected to pack a 4,400mAh battery with faster 45W fast charging. The existing Fold 4 has the same battery capacity but has a 25W charging solution.

As for wireless charging, expect a 25W faster wireless charging solution as opposed to the 15W solution on the predecessor. The device will boot on Android 13 OS out of the box. It will have OneUI 5.1 on top.

Samsung is expected to offer a triple camera setup with a 50MP main lens, a 12MP ultra-wide lens, and a 10MP telephoto unit. The telephoto lens will have 2x optical zoom support. The device could feature 12MP camera sensors for selfies on the outer display as well as on the inner display.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 is rumored to launch alongside the Galaxy Z Flip 5 on July 26, which is earlier than the August schedule. However, Samsung is yet to confirm the aforesaid date.
