TheSamsung Galaxy Z Fold 4and Galaxy Z Flip 4 are some of thebest foldable phonesyou can buy, but in this highly competitive and fast-changing market, you can’t rest on your laurels. New versions of both phones are in development, but reports suggest thatSamsungis taking a very different approach to the Flip 5.

Where theGalaxy Z Flip 5 is expected to have a huge screen upgrade, theGalaxy Z Fold 5is not expected to look dramatically different from the current model.

That’s according to well-connected tipsterIce Universe, who reports that the Galaxy Z Fold 5 will have the same 6.2-inch cover display with the same aspect ratio as the Galaxy Z Fold 4. However, it will be improved in some other key respects.

What can we expect from the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5?

According toSamMobilethe Galaxy Z Fold 5 is 9mm lighter than the current model, and will feature the same Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy chipset that we’ve already seen in theGalaxy S23,S23+andS23 Ultra. That means it’s going to be significantly more powerful than the Z Fold 4.

Don’t expect a massive change in the cameras, though: reports indicate that the video recording capability may be closer to that of the S23, presumably due to the better chipset, but Samsung is not believed to be considering a significant upgrade to the camera hardware this time around.

It looks like Samsung has decided to make these two foldable phones for two different kinds of customers, much like it did with theSamsung GalaxyS series and theSamsung Galaxy Note. The Flip appears to be positioned as the fun, fashion, more forward-thinking phone; the Fold is its more serious, sober-suited sibling.
