Galaxy Z Flip5 reveals actual photos before launch date: “giant” secondary screen

The prototype of the Galaxy Z Flip5 has just leaked, revealing that the rumors about the large secondary screen are completely accurate. Only a few weeks are left for Samsung’s next generation of folding screen smartphones to be unveiled when the company recently sent out invitations to attend the Galaxy Unpacked 2023 event on July 26 in Korea. Leaked images of the dummy version of the Galaxy Z Flip5 have also appeared. Dummy is understood as a device that simulates the original used to send to third-party manufacturers as accessories to prepare for the upcoming launch. Leaked images posted to SlashLeaks show that the dummy version of the Galaxy Z Flip5 features a large front secondary screen and looks like a folder icon on the computer’s interface. Along with that is a cluster of two cameras placed horizontally instead of vertically as today, while the rest of the design remains almost unchanged, from the fingerprint sensor to the hinge. No change in hinge also means that the middle of the Z Flip5 screen folds will still not be closed but open like the previous generation. In 2023, the folding phone market has seen many smartphone models born with vertical folding without gaps, such as Oppo Find N2 Flip or vivo X Flip. It is rumored that Samsung has designed a new “waterdrop” hinge mechanism that can eliminate the gap between the two screens when folded. The proof is that some leaked images of the Z Fold5 show that when folded, the hinge position only has a small gap, much smaller than what we see on this Z Flip5’s dummy here. However, we can also understand in another way that because it is a dummy version, there will be gaps and not as perfect as on the official version. This is because clamshell folding phone cases are usually made of two pieces, so it doesn’t matter whether the hinge between the two screens is sealed or not. In this position, the case models will have a connecting piece that surrounds the outer part of the hinge. Previously, experts said that the Galaxy Z Flip5 is expected to have a 6.7-inch AMOLED Full HD + main screen with 120 Hz refresh rate and a 3.4-inch HD secondary screen, using Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip, 12 MP selfie camera. and the rear dual camera has 12 MP parameters with OIS support for the main lens and 12 MP super wide angle. The Galaxy Z Flip5 is said to have a 3,700 mAh battery, 25 W fast charging, 8 GB RAM, 128 GB or 256 GB internal memory options, runs Android 13, and users can use Google Maps right from the external secondary screen. .
