Galaxy Z Fold 4. The cutout for the LED flash has moved from the bottom of the camera module to the side. The model could come with slight changes in the camera bar as well. Samsung is expected to release the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and the Galaxy Z Flip 5 later this year in July.
Well-known tipster Ice Universe (@UniverseIce) has Samsung is keeping things familiar with the design of the new foldable. The transparent cases are seen with cut-outs for the power button and volume rockers on the spines and the bottom for the speaker and USB Type-C port. There is a cut-out at the rear to show off the camera unit touting much of the same design choices as its predecessor. The LED flash seems to have moved right next to the camera, whereas the Galaxy Z Fold 4 features the flash right under the triple rear cameras.
Like the outgoing model, Galaxy Z Fold 5 is said to feature a 6.2-inch outer display and a 7.6-inch inner display with 120Hz refresh rate. It could run on One UI 5.1.1 based on Android 13. Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy SoC is expected to power the handset. It could pack 12GB of LPDDR5 RAM and up to 1TB of UFS 4.0 storage as well. It is said to carry a 50-megapixel primary, 12-megapixel ultra-wide, and a 10-megapixel telephoto. The Galaxy Z Fold 5 is expected to feature a new ‘droplet' hinge design with an IPX8 build.
