Samsung’s highly anticipated Galaxy Unpacked event is just around the corner, where the company is set to introduce its latest foldable phone lineup. The event, known as Seoul Unpacked, is rumored to take place on July 26, although the official date is yet to be confirmed. Exclusive reports from MySmartPrice indicate that the US and Canada launch event is scheduled for August 11.
Two foldable phones are expected to be launched, with the Galaxy Z Fold 5 taking the spotlight as the more premium offering. In advance of the event, we present the official press render of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5, offering an exciting glimpse of its design.
Today, we are privileged to share the official render of the Galaxy Z Flip 5, showcasing noteworthy exterior modifications. The official render, provided by a trusted source, reveals substantial design changes for the clamshell-style foldable phone. The image unveils a significantly larger cover display, occupying nearly half of the rear panel when the phone is unfolded.
In the image below, you can observe the Galaxy Z Flip 5’s expanded outer display, which surpasses the 1.9-inch screens featured in previous Z Flip models. Rumors suggest that the upcoming Galaxy Z Flip 5 will boast a 3.4-inch cover screen, exceeding the 3.26-inch display found in the OPPO Find N2 Flip.
Unlike the Motorola Razr 40 Ultra, the cover display of the Galaxy Z Flip 5 does not incorporate cutouts for the rear camera setup and LED flash. Instead, Samsung has taken a different approach, slightly curving the display to accommodate the dual-camera system. The larger display necessitates a rearrangement of the camera sensors and LED flash, now positioned horizontally alongside each other.
The rendered image also demonstrates various applications for the expanded cover display. Users can utilize the outer screen as a viewfinder for capturing high-quality images with the rear camera. Additionally, it serves as a convenient interface for controlling music playback. Recent reports indicate that Google apps are being optimized for the expansive cover display, with Samsung expected to unveil additional use cases at the forthcoming Unpacked event.
