Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Z Flip 5 are likely to be announced on August 4

A few weeks ago, a report claimed that the next generation of Samsung foldable phones will be introduced in the last week of July (early August). Now a new report has revealed the exact date of Samsung’s next Unpacked event and announced the introduction of the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Z Flip 5 on July 26.

according to Korean media report ChosunOn July 26, Samsung will unveil its next-generation foldable phone at an event. The Koreans unveiled the Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Z Flip 4 last year on August 10, so their next generation is about two weeks early.

It looks like Samsung will hold its next Unpacked event in Seoul, which is a big change. Samsung has held its previous events to unveil its foldable phones in the US, and this time it seems it wants to change its approach.

Probably, in the August 4th event, along with the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Z Flip 5, we will also face the Galaxy Tab S9 series tablets as well as the Galaxy Watch 6 series smart watches. Of course, Samsung has not announced the date nor the products present in this event yet.

Possible specifications of Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Z Flip 5

According to rumors, Samsung will use a new hinge in its next generation of foldable phones. This hinge reduces the crease of the screen and also the phones close better.

The next generation of Samsung foldable phones will be equipped with the latest Qualcomm chip, the Snapdragon 8 generation 2, so that they are no different from other flagships in the market. In addition, it is expected that the Galaxy Z Fold 5 will be equipped with an S Pen slot so that more users may be willing to buy it. We should also expect a much larger external display on the Galaxy Z Flip 5.

Finally, it must be said that this year, Samsung must compete with the owner of Android, Google. Some time ago, at the I/O 2023 event, Google unveiled its first foldable phone, the Pixel Fold. So maybe the Koreans will reduce the price of Galaxy Z Fold 5 compared to the previous generation.
