According to a very reputable Korean newspaper, Samsung will unveil the highly anticipated Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Z Flip 5 at an Unpacked event in Seoul on July 26 and globally release the two on August 11.
Based on last year’s August 10 announcement of the Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Z Flip 4 and Samsung’s August 11, 2021 Unpacked event dedicated to the Z Fold 3 and Z Flip 3, it initially seemed safe to assume that the world’s largest smartphone vendor was planning to unveil its next-gen foldables on or around August 9, 2023.
But due to a multitude of reasons, that may never have been the company’s intention in the first place… or it was revised at some point in the last couple of months. Either way, speculation of an earlier-than-anticipated launch for the oft-rumored and thoroughly leaked Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Z Flip 5 is rapidly ramping up, with the latest report supporting this theory adding precise (and credible) dates to the equation.
July 26 – Unpacked announcement in Seoul, Korea;
August 11 – global release date.
If Chosun Ilbo’s inside sources are correct, the next big Galaxy foldables will start shipping around the world exactly two years after the Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Z Flip 3 were formally unveiled and essentially 12 months on the heels of the previous summer Unpacked event.
