Samsung may launch its next-generation foldable phones in July. According to a report by Korean publication Chosun via tipster Abhishek Yadav, the South Korean company may unveil Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 and Galaxy Z Fold 5 on July 26, 2023.
The company is reportedly planning to host its Samsung Galaxy Unpacked event two weeks before the usual launch in August.Â
The report, originally published in Korean, quotes a person aware of the matter who said that the smartphones will be officially available from August 11 after a public event on July 26. “In order to boost the company’s performance due to the sluggish memory semiconductor industry, it is more necessary than ever for the smartphone division to perform well,” the source told the Korean publication.
The report says that the pre-ponement of the launch of Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 is aimed at promoting the device’s sales ahead of Apple iPhone launch. For those unaware, Apple launches its new iPhone series during the Fall event that is usually held in September.
Meanwhile, a previous report by Display Supply Chain Consultants CEO Ross Young said that the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 may come with a larger cover display. The current Galaxy Z Flip 4 has a 1.9-inch cover display. According to Ross, the upcoming device may be equipped with a display having a cover screen size of more than 3.0-inch.
Young also stated that the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 may feature a different hinge design than the existing model. The new hinge is said to reduce the visibility of the seam on the upcoming device. It is also rumoured that the Galaxy Z Flip 5 may feature an improved camera as well.
