The latest information about Samsung’s folding lineup points to a bigger external display for the Galaxy Z Flip 5, based on a post on a social platform by a trusted insider known as Ice Universe. The claim suggests the Flip 5 will carry a larger outside screen than its predecessor, signaling a continued emphasis on quick glance usability for a compact foldable phone.
According to the source, the Galaxy Z Flip 5 is expected to weigh 187 grams and feature a 6.7-inch internal display paired with a 3.4-inch external display. By comparison, the Galaxy Z Flip 4 shares the same internal display size, but its external panel measures just 1.9 inches in diagonal. This shift would mark a notable change for the flip-style device, making the outside screen more practical for checking notifications and quick tasks without unfolding the device.
Ice Universe also provided some details about the Galaxy Z Fold 5. The large foldable from Samsung for the 2023 refresh is said to weigh 254 grams and to include a 7.6-inch inner display along with a 6.2-inch outer screen. Interestingly, while the display dimensions align with those from the current generation to the upcoming one, there is a difference in weight between the two. The Galaxy Z Fold 4 weighs 263 grams, a bit heavier than the predicted Fold 5, and the reason for any potential weight reduction remains a topic of discussion among observers.
Both the Galaxy Z Flip 5 and the Galaxy Z Fold 5 are anticipated to be announced and released in the upcoming fall season, following Samsung’s typical product cadence for foldables. Early chatter about the lineup emphasizes improvements in screen technology, battery efficiency, and overall durability, alongside refinements to the hinge mechanism that could enhance long-term usability for frequent travelers and power users.
Earlier reports from socialbites.ca mentioned that Samsung is exploring a foldable-screen tablet codenamed Galaxy Z Tab. While not tied to a firm launch window, such a device would expand Samsung’s foldable ecosystem beyond smartphones, aligning with the broader industry interest in flexible form factors. As with the phone models, expectations for any future tablets focus on portability, multitasking capabilities, and seamless transitions between form factors in everyday use.
