From the Z Flip 5 to the Mix Fold 3
This could be the biggest and busiest year for foldable phones yet, because we’ve already seen multiple foldable handsets launch this year, including the Oppo Find N2 Flip and the Google Pixel Fold, and there are quite a few more still to come.
These includes new models in established lines as well as brand-new entrants to the foldable phone arena. We’ve already seen one of the latter of those in the form of the Pixel Fold, and with its striking, slim design and promising cameras it’s arguably the most high-profile foldable phone of the year so far.
But before you run out and buy the Google Pixel Fold, it’s worth being aware of what it will soon be up against. So below, we’ve detailed five more foldable phones that we expect to see before the end of 2023.1. The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5
The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 is a foldable phone that probably needs no introduction, as it’s the next model in one of the most popular foldable phone lines.
This is expected to have a large 7.6-inch folding screen, alongside a similar design to the Google Pixel Fold, and indeed to the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4. The cover screen will likely also be quite big, with rumors of a 6.2-inch panel, and Samsung is reportedly using a new waterdrop hinge design, which will allow the two halves to sit flat against each other when folded shut – something we’re yet to see from Samsung’s foldables.
That should make for a sleeker design than you’ll find on the current model, plus we’re also expecting an upgraded chipset (specifically a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy, like the Samsung Galaxy S23 line has), and potentially some new camera sensors.
Leaks suggest this will be unveiled on July 26, so there might not be too much longer to wait for it.
