A leaked image of the Galaxy Z Fold 5 depicts a device that can genuinely close flat

(Image credit- YouTube) Samsung's upcoming top foldable phone, the Galaxy Z Fold 5, has what appears to be its first official photograph, according to reports. Although the Z Fold 5 won't be fully revealed until Samsung's Unpacked event in Korea later this month, the image does reveal a few characteristics about it. These details may help explain how the Z Fold 5 will compete with Google's Pixel Fold and all of the other flexible mobile gadgets that are becoming popular this summer.

Expected Specifications

Although Samsung Display has already shown off a prototype with a slim hinge that can fold both inward and outward if you want to know what might arrive even further in the future, the folded device appears to have less of a gap when closed than the Galaxy Z Fold 4 we reviewed last year. Another obvious, slight change is that the screen bezel appears a little thinner, and the camera flash has been relocated from the camera bump on the rear.

Other expected specifications include the same Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC for Galaxy found in the Galaxy S23 phones, a 4,400mAh battery with 45W fast charging and 25W wireless charging, a triple rear camera setup with a 50MP main camera, a 12MP ultrawide camera, a 10MP telephoto camera, and 12MP.

But unlike Samsung's other folding phones, this one will have rivals, such as the Pixel Fold, Motorola's upcoming Razr, and even the Z Flip 5, which we also anticipate seeing at that Unpacked presentation.
