But new colors aren’t the big change coming to Samsung’s clamshell foldable this year. That would be the larger folder-shaped 3.4-inch cover screen which replaces the 1.9-inch cover screen on the Galaxy Z Flip 4 (and is much larger than the much-criticized 1.1-inch cover screen on the original Galaxy Z Flip model). With the premium Motorola Razr 40 Ultra/Razr+ featuring a 3.5-inch Quick View screen, up from the 2.7-inch external display on previous Razr units, both Samsung and Motorola’s clamshell foldables should have highly capable external displays this year.

Last month, Ross Young sent a tweet in which he said “Given that the production estimates for the Z Flip 5 for July 2023 are about double that of the Z Flip 4 in 2022, it is very likely that they are launching earlier this year which would be a good move to create distance with the iPhone 15 launch.” Last year’s model was released on August 26th while the iPhone 14 line (minus the delayed iPhone 14 Plus) was launched on September 13th. Again, the rumored release date for the Galaxy Z Flip 5 this year is August 11th.
