Ice Universe: Samsung Galaxy Flip5 will have a much larger external screen, Fold5 to close the gap

With the launch of the Samsung Galaxy S23 series already in the rearview mirror, we can move on to Samsung’s other big flagship launch of the year – the next generation Galaxy Z Fold and Z Flip. Reliable Tipster ice universe shared some preliminary spec details for the upcoming foldables.

The big news for the Z Flip5 is the larger external display which is expected to reach 3.4 inches diagonally. If true, it’ll actually be bigger than the Oppo N2 Flip’s 3.26-inch panel and sport an alleged 1:1.038 aspect ratio – an almost perfect square. The inner screen is said to have narrower bezels and it will adopt a new teardrop-style hinge to help hide its crease.

Moving on to the Galaxy Z Fold5, we get further confirmation that it will retain the 6.2-inch cover screen of its predecessor. The device will be 0.2mm narrower than its predecessor, but it will also use a droplet-style hinge like the Z Flip5 to help hide its crease and eliminate the gap when closed. The Fold5 will be thinner than its predecessor at 13.xmm in its folded state, compared to 15.8mm on the Z Fold4. It will also be a lighter device at 254 grams.

Both upcoming foldables will feature the Snapdragon 8 Gen2 chipset for Galaxy and bring IPX8 waterproofing.
