Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5 Design Leaked in Latest Renders

Reports suggest that the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5 will arrive earlier than anticipated. Although there have been no official announcements from the Korean conglomerate, tech leaker OnLeaks has provided us with our first look at the Galaxy Z Fold5, sharing a 360° video and 5K renders of the foldable smartphone.

The Galaxy Z Fold5’s appearance is almost identical to its predecessor, the Fold4, and at first glance, it may be difficult to distinguish between the two phones. Nevertheless, upon closer inspection, the LED flash that was previously located inside the camera island on the Galaxy Z Fold4 has now been moved to the right side of the top camera on the Galaxy Z Fold5.

While the design remains largely unchanged from last year, the hinge mechanism is the most notable difference this time around. The Fold5 is expected to feature a droplet-style hinge that reduces the gap when the smartphone is folded and hides the display crease when unfolded.

According to the source, when unfolded, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5 will measure 154.9 x 129.9 x 6.3 mm, and when folded, it will measure 154.9 x 67.1 x 13.5 mm, with a thickness of 13.4 mm in the folded state. In comparison, the Fold4’s measurements were 155.1 x 67.1 x 14.2-15.8 mm when folded and 155.1 x 130.1 x 6.3 mm when unfolded. The reduction in thickness of the Fold5 when it’s folded could be attributed to the new hinge mechanism.

The source also claims that the Galaxy Z Fold5 will have a 7.6″ folding screen diagonally and a 6.2″ outer screen diagonal, which supports earlier rumors. The Fold4’s display was the same size, but the Fold5’s reduced dimensions will result in thinner bezels. Rumors suggest that the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5 will be released in July, along with the Galaxy Z Flip5. Expect to hear more about these foldable smartphones in the coming weeks.
