Galaxy Z Flip 5 & Z Vik 5 Release Date LEAKED!
According to South Korea's Chosun Media, Samsung plans to hold its next Galaxy Unpacked Event on July 26 in Seoul. This report is in line with previous leaks, which speculated that the launch date would be in July 2023. Samsung usually reserves August for its Unpacked event, but the launch seems to have been moved up this time. But with the recent launch of the Google Pixel Fold and the OnePlus Fold announcement just around the corner, the rush is somewhat understandable.
The change of venue for the launch event is also a first for Samsung foldables. Previously, the collapsible events were only held in major locations such as Barcelona, San Francisco and New York. Although there is no official confirmation, the change appears to have been made "for practical reasons such as global recognition and event effects."
The Samsung Z Fold 5 and Z Flip 5 are expected to have a form factor similar to their predecessors. However, there will be some noticeable upgrades and improvements. The biggest design change will be the Z Flip 5's outer display, which goes up from 1.9 inches to 3 inches; covers the entire outer panel. The internal screen is likely to be 6.7 inches.
