Samsung recently confirmed the launch date of its flagship range, the Galaxy S23 series. This is great news for Samsung lovers, as the launch date of the highly-anticipated Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Flip 5 will be confirmed shortly after the launch of the S23 series.
Samsung Confirmed the Launch of Its Galaxy S23 Series Smartphones to Drop on February 1
According to the story by Giz China, Samsung has confirmed the launch date of the eagerly awaited Galaxy S23 series as February 1. Now, with the launch approaching quickly, rumors and reports of other Samsung devices have also started to emerge.
A recent report claims the Galaxy Z Fold 5 might be slightly thicker and heavier than initially expected, which might be a good thing for users. An article by Phone Arena shares how the upcoming device could be thicker and heavier than the Galaxy Z Fold 4 devices.
Rumors Point Towards the Upcoming Specs for the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 Including an Increased Thickness
Rumors have been circulating regarding the internal specs of the Z Fold 5. According to the recently emerged reports, it looks like the handset will be slightly thicker and heavier than what was previously expected.
The thickness is expected to increase from 6.3mm to 6.5mm. The increase in thickness may be due to the expected S Pen slot, which was missing from the Galaxy Z Fold 4. The increase in weight may suggest that the device will have a bigger battery than the Z Fold 4.
Rumored Specs for the New Device Include a 10 MP Front-Facing Camera and a 12 MP Rear-Facing Camera
This would make the Z Fold 5 more competitive with the Oppo Find N2. Other rumored specs include a new and possibly bigger 12 MP rear-facing camera, a 10 MP front-facing camera, and a Snapdragon 985 5G chipset.
The chipset has not been seen before and is rumored to be a test version of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. In addition to the specs rumored, reports suggest that the crease from the previous generation will be less visible on the new device.
