Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 leaks suggest its biggest problem has been solved


Samsung's Galaxy Z Flip 5 and Galaxy Z Fold 5 are still a few months away from launch, but new leaks have given us more clues as to what they'll look like. A new render, backing up previous leaks, shows what the larger cover screen could look like, while a trusted analyst shared details of the colors Samsung is planning for its new foldables.

This latest leak comes from display analyst Ross Young, who claims that the Galaxy Z Flip 5 will come in beige, gray, light green, and light pink, while the Galaxy Z Fold 5 will have beige, black, and blue options. clear. However, Samsung rarely sticks to simple names, so expect them to be dubbed Awesome Black, Overly Obsidian, or something similar when they launch.

As for the cover screenshot, SamMobile leaked it along with an accompanying render. It flaunts a fairly large outer screen, similar to the one on the Oppo Find N2 Flip, and we can see it being put to good use - maybe not quite for gaming, but certainly for answering messages, reading emails, checking the weather. , etc.

Take the time to correct the defects

The first Galaxy Z Flip phones were criticized for having small and essentially useless cover screens. With the Flip 3 and Flip 4, Samsung has done a lot to solve this problem by making the screens bigger, but they're still not as big as the foldable screens on rivals Oppo, Motorola and Huawei. Of course, while these companies make some of the best foldables, they are only rivals in a technical sense. They compete, but Samsung is comfortably ahead.

As such, the gap between Samsung and the rest in terms of mind share and market share means that the company can afford to take its time to correct these flaws without being penalized for it. If the Samsung Z Flip 6 or 7 'came with a lower cover screen, cameras or charging speeds than competing devices, who will notice? You can't buy them anyway.
