The rumours also say that Samsung is seeking a smart ring patent that can be used with XR (extended reality) devices.

It will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset coupled with 12GB of RAM and up to 1TB of internal storage. It will likely have ingress protection and boot on Android 13 OS based on OneUI 5.1.

In addition to this, Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 will be a major upgrade over its predecessor. The device will feature a larger secondary display sized 3.4 inches.
