The clamshell device has seen regular improvements through the years. The Galaxy Z Flip 4 brought solid performance, great cameras, Samsung’s industry-leading update commitment, and improved battery life. This year too, Samsung is expected to make some welcome changes to its much-loved flip phone. Here’s what we know so far.Will there be a Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5?
Samsung has consistently launched new foldable flip phones in recent years. So there’s no reason to believe that Samsung won’t launch the Galaxy Z Flip 5 this year. Samsung’s mobile head recently said the company’s foldables could overtake its S series flagships in shipments by 2025. The company is betting big on its flexible line and wants it to become the “new standard” for smartphones.
Rumors about the Galaxy Z Flip 5 have already started doing the rounds. However, Samsung hasn’t officially confirmed the launch details yet. We expect the company to start teasing the phone closer to its second Unpacked event for the year.What is the Galaxy Z Flip 5 release date?
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip — February 14, 2020
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5G — August 7, 2020
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 — August 24, 2021
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 — August 10, 2022
Samsung has been launching new foldable phones in August for the past three years. So it’s highly likely that the Galaxy Z Flip 5 will also launch alongside the Galaxy Z Fold 5 in August 2023. However, a fresh report from The Elec, a popular Korean outlet for Samsung information, suggests that the company might be thinking about bringing the launch forward by two or three weeks. That means we might see the Galaxy Z Flip 5 launch in July rather than August. The report was further corroborated by Chosun, suggesting a July 26 launch for the Galaxy Z Flip 5 in Seoul, South Korea. That final tidbit of info was confirmed by a Samsung exec in June.
The Elec claims that Samsung plans to ship more units of the Galaxy Z Flip 5 than the Galaxy Z Fold 5.
