Description:
Photos and a video of a Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 dummy unit have leaked, showing the likely design from numerous angles.
FULL STORY ======================================================================
Weve seen plenty of leaked Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 images at this point, but theyve mostly been renders rather than real world photos. Now though, weve seen the latter, or at least photos of a dummy unit of the phone.
These were shared on SlashLeaks by a source known as Leakspinner, who the
site claims has an 86% level of accuracy across 1,697 leaks, so theyre one of the more credible sources.
The photos and also a video show a phone with exactly the design weve seen elsewhere, including a large cover display that curves around the dual-lens camera, while on the inside theres a foldable screen with a punch-hole camera at the top and small bezels.

You can also see that theres a USB-C port and a speaker grille on the bottom edge, the power and volume buttons on the right, and a SIM card slot on the left. The video also shows this Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 in someones hand, so you can get a sense for the size which unsurprisingly appears similar to
that of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 .
A dummy unit, if youre not aware, is a non-functioning model of a phone,
which is often used by accessory makers so they can design and produce cases and other accessories for it. As such, these tend to be accurately modelled, but as we dont know where this one originally came from, we cant be certain
of that.
Still, it matches other Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 leaks, and were now very
close to launch (with the Galaxy Z Flip 5 set to be unveiled on July 26 ), so by this point wed expect most of the leaks to be accurate. A bigger screen
and a better chipset
There arent any specs included here, but going by what weve heard so far, its likely that the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 will have a 3.4-inch cover screen , which would make for a much larger one than the Z Flip 4. However its main screen will probably remain at 6.7 inches.
Aside from the cover screen, its main rumored upgrades include a powerful Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset (as found in the Samsung Galaxy S23 line), and a new hinge design allowing the two halves of the phone to lie flat against
each other. Its also possible that the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 will support Samsung DeX , so you can transform it into a desktop (with the help of an external screen).
With July 26 fast approaching, we should find out soon. TechRadar will be covering the announcement of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 and the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 , which is also expected in full. So head back here then for all the details.
