We realized a 5G variant of Samsung’s vertically folding Galaxy Z Flip clamshell was on the way, just after the to start with illustrations or photos leaked previously this thirty day period. Now, we have an whole leaked online video and a established of rumors about the new “Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5G” that appears to go away absolutely nothing to the creativity — and suggest it could be completely ready for Samsung’s approaching August 5th Galaxy Unpacked event.
Fundamentally, it appears like it’ll be pretty much the very same folding mobile phone but with a a lot quicker processor and 5G.
Based on cellphone leaker Evan Blass’ video clip — which demonstrates the telephone from practically every single angle — it appears virtually similar to the primary LTE version that went on sale on February 14th. The only distinctions other than 5G guidance and a new “mystic bronze” colour, in accordance to XDA-Developers’ Max Weinbach, is that it’ll be oh-so-somewhat taller and thicker, and be run by Qualcomm’s new Snapdragon 865 Additionally chip — a tiny spec bump more than the Snapdragon 855 In addition that came in the primary.
So for the Z Flip 5G, the ONLY part that adjustments is the SoC. It’s the Snapdragon 865+. The cameras continue to be the same at 12MP and 12MP. Identical sensors as well. Exhibit is the identical. Program is A person UI 2.5 which is mainly unchanged. Hole is the identical dimensions. Battery is the very same dimension.

The cell phone may also have the exact same dimension battery, in accordance to Weinbach, which makes us question how extensive it may possibly very last on a charge — the initial wasn’t a battery champ, and now it’ll reportedly have 5G and a more quickly processor to electric power as perfectly.
Chinese telecommunications certification heart TENAA beforehand corroborated that the phone would possible have the Snapdragon 865 As well as chip, and the Wireless Electrical power Consortium also outlined a “Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5G” as a cell phone that would help wi-fi charging, so it appears like that’s possibly the identify and your wi-fi chargers will keep doing the job. (You can thank MySmartPrice for spotting equally of those people.)
Whilst 5G may well be the flagship function right here, 5G telephones even now have a means to go right before they are the new standard. While 5G can make downloads quicker and cloud companies respond more quickly — depending on the variety of 5G — there are many tradeoffs like how significantly 5G phones price and whether you’ll be in a position to easily uncover a signal.
