Samsung Galaxy Fold 5: rumors and leaks to calm anxiety
In the last few hours, a Reddit user posted images showing the alleged Galaxy Fold 5 in all its glory. For the unsuspecting, it is Samsung’s largest folding model. A kind of tablet that, when folded, takes the shape of a telephone.
In the leak we see the various faces of the device, both folded and unfolded. They even added photos showing the computer with the screen ondestroying the idea that it could be a non-functional conceptual unit.
Some juicy details: the screenshots indicate that the photo was taken this week. In addition, the word “confidential” is read, a sign that this should not have come to light and that, let’s admit, increases the desire for snooping. It is possible that it is one of the equipment that is in the hands of the company at this time.
Apart from this leaked material, What features would the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 have? Based on previous reports, it is believed that the foldable phone would not change its design too much compared to the 2022 Galaxy Z Fold 4. Meanwhile, it would remain at 7.6 inches when “open”, shrinking to 6.2 inches. when folding
Of course: according to what we hypertextual, one of the most relevant changes of the Z Fold 5 will bring a solution to the undesirable wrinkle on the screen. It’s been rumored that Samsung will use a “drop” hinge, which encourages a softer flex. Although the smartphone is not completely closed when folded, it avoids the mark on the display.
The problem with that choice is that it is not related to water resistance. As we indicated on the occasion, no folding mobile with a hinge of this kind comes with robust IP protection.
It remains to be seen if Samsung has found a solution to combine the “best of both worlds”. That is, a screen without marks from use and, at the same time, a phone that resists water.
Galaxy Z Flip 5: this would be the new Samsung compact
New clarification for the unsuspecting. These variants of the Samsung Galaxy Z are committed to compact design. They look like the clamshell that were sold in the past. In practice, they are mobile that when folded become smaller equipment and, meanwhile, more comfortable to carry in your pocket.
What is the South Korean firm preparing for the 2023 series? In the dance of rumors it has been said that the Galaxy Z Flip 5 would be bigger compared to the 2022 edition. In addition, that the exterior screen will also gain inches in relation to the current model.
The jump would be big. Of the 1.9 inches of the display external that the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 has, the new copy would go to 3 inches. This supposed change would offer improvements in the user experience with the mobile closed. In other words, it will allow access to notifications in a more comfortable way, without the need to always “open” the device.
Mobile business analysts have wisely pointed out that this step will force the manufacturer to improve the phone’s battery. It is logical: more screen, more brightness and more energy consumption.
