Samsung’s new foldables are well on their way to market. If rumors are to be believed, we can expect the Z Fold5 and Z Flip5 to debut alongside the Watch6 and Tab S9 sometime in July.
One of the defining features of the upcoming Z Flip5 is definitely its new larger cover display. Various rumors and renders of the flip phone have already pictured the “folder shaped” cover display. Now we also have a couple of photos of a snap-on plastic case for the Z Flip5, which reaffirm the display’s large size and odd shape.

As far as we currently know, said cover display will measure 3.4 inches in diagonal and feature a resolution of 720 x 748 pixels. That leaves plenty of space for shortcuts and widgets, alongside a large clock, making the new display a lot more functional than the 1.9-inch unit on the Z Flip4.
We still don’t know a lot about the rest of the hardware on the Z Flip5. By all accounts, a new hinge design will ensure a much tighter closure with a minimal or even non-existent gap. Expectedly, the Z Flip5 will be running on the latest and greatest Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy mobile platform. As far as we currently know, the Z Flip5 will come with either 128GB, 256GB or 512GB of storage, with the 128GB model using a UFS 3.1 chip instead of UFS 4.0. This coincides with the current Z Flip4 storage tiers. We also believe that, like its predecessor, the Z Flip5 will have two 12MP cameras (main and ultrawide), but potentially ones using new sensors. The charging rate will likely remain at the familiar 25W.
