This is the currently expected Z Fold 5 and Z Flip 5 schedule
- July 26 – Unpacked announcement in Seoul, Korea;
- August 11 – global release date.
That basically means Samsung is looking to move its foldable timeline up by two weeks, which may not sound radical but can definitely put a lot of extra pressure on the production of two phones that are widely expected to outsell all their forerunners anyway.
The Galaxy Z Flip 5 (rendered on the right) is evidently set to sport a much larger cover screen than the Z Flip 4 (seen here on the left).
Another interesting detail rumored a couple of times before and seemingly “confirmed” by South Korea’s oldest daily newspaper today is the venue of Samsung’s next Unpacked shindig. This will apparently move from your traditional San Franciscos or New Yorks to Seoul for “practical reasons such as global recognition and event effects.” We’re not entirely sure what that means, but it’s likely that Samsung is simply looking to cut expenses where it can without impacting the quality and appeal of its products in any way.
What else do we know about the Galaxy Z Flip 5 and Z Fold 5?
The Galaxy Z Fold 5 (rendered here) is expected to look almost identical to the Z Fold 4.
Retail pricing is undoubtedly the biggest missing puzzle piece at the moment, although there might also be other smaller details that we don’t know about just yet and could very well make a difference for prospective buyers.
