Galaxy Z Fold 5 expected specifications
The new Fold will run on Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC, which if the rumors are correct, will be running overclocked to maximize performance. Like every generation, refinements to the design are also expected, and the Fold 5 will likely be thinner and lighter than previous models. Samsung is reportedly developing a new hinge for the phone which will supposedly have no gaps in between the screens when the phone is closed. Another improvement could be a bigger battery and cameras.
Galaxy Z Flip 5 expected specifications
Like Fold 5, Flip 5 may sport a new hinge that allows it close flat when shut, displaying no obvious gaps in between the two screens. It would also mean a less obtrusive crease on the Flip's interior display. Reports suggest the Flip 5 will use a larger cover display at 3.5-inches, compared to Flip 4's 1.9-inch cover display. The phone may also upgrade to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC and will have battery and camera improvements.
