There are significant updates for both the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and the Galaxy Z Flip 5 cover screen. The Galaxy Flip 5 will have a 3.4-inch outside display, which will be approximately square-shaped rather than rectangular as previously, and take up the bulk of the phone’s top screen. This is the biggest change cited in IU’s latest set of rumors. This would be a significant improvement over the Galaxy Z Flip 4’s tiny 1.9-inch outside display.
The latest assertion doesn’t appear to line up with previous information that suggested the Galaxy Z Flip 5’s outside screen would be larger than the 3.6-inch Oppo Find N2 Flip’s comparable display. The Oppo’s exterior display may be theoretically larger than the reported Galaxy Z Flip 5 display despite having a smaller surface area because of its more rectangular shape.
Technizo Concept (@technizoconcept) and tipster SuperRoader (@RoderSuper) posted a number of renderings of what they believe the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 may ultimately look like.
Frankly, I can’t imagine Samsung using a dual outer display, particularly if they plan to use a cover screen that size. The key benefit of having a big outside display is that it should enable you to accomplish the majority of simple operations without constantly unfolding the phone.
Many people have been eagerly awaiting its inclusion in Samsung’s next flip phone. With its first folding phone, the Razr, Motorola had the proper idea, and Oppo rapidly expanded on it with its first flip phone, the Find N2 Flip. While the latter is fantastic, there is still a lot of unrealized potentials, as we just highlighted in our podcast. In another tweet, the tipper said that Samsung will convert to a hinge designed like a waterdrop, mostly to prevent the folding display from creasing.

Moreover, a report shared information on the Galaxy Z Fold 5, including characteristics that it shares with the Galaxy Z Flip 5.
For instance, just with the Galaxy S23 series, both of the forthcoming foldable should receive the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy(opens in new tab). Contrary to the current Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Galaxy Z Flip 4, which received Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 CPUs—an enhanced version of the 8 Gen 1 chips seen in the Galaxy S22 from that year—the latter two models do not.
Both foldable will maintain their IPX8 water resistance grade, which is a special assurance among the finest foldable phones. This is true even though Samsung upgraded the folding mechanics on both phones to new waterdrop-style hinges, which should also result in a smaller, possibly unnoticeable gap between the two parts of the phone when closed and a less noticeable display wrinkle on the inner screens.
The Galaxy Z Fold 5 will weigh somewhat less than the Galaxy Z Fold 4, at 254 grams (8.9 ounces), as opposed to 263 grams, and will be almost identical in size to the Galaxy Z Fold 4. It will also feature the same 6.2-inch outside display (9.28 ounces). We’ll take whatever size decrease that Samsung can provide because foldable phones are notorious for being large and hefty.

The updated phones, according to a report, would have “new touch screen technology.” Nevertheless, neither the particular nature of the alteration nor its implications for consumers are specified by the leaker.
Samsung has developed a habit of introducing new foldable phones every summer, specifically around August. Hold off on purchasing a new phone until you know exactly what has changed, given how much the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Galaxy Z Flip 5 look to have changed this generation.
