With about a month to go until the next Samsung Galaxy Unpacked event<\/a>, we may have a pretty comprehensive idea about what to expect from the next version of the Galaxy Z Flip 5 and the Galaxy Z Fold 5. Several leaks over the last few days have revealed a lot about what the phones may look like \u2014 and what\u2019s under their respective hoods \u2014 ahead of their official unveiling.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n A Twitter leak from Revegnus<\/a> on July 25th showed a photo of a folded phone that looks to be to be the Galaxy Z Flip 5 in a blocky, black case (via 9to5Google<\/em><\/a>). The case hides a lot of the design, but what you can see backs up previous alleged renders. For instance, the screen on the back<\/a> may be the same 3.4-inch 720 x 748 cover screen that\u2019s been predicted<\/a>. You can also make out the side-by-side camera lenses, another rumored update to the design.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n A droplet-style fold has been used already in competitors\u2019 phones like the Oppo Find N2<\/a> and it should reduce the visible crease where the phones fold \u2014 something that has plagued folding phones since their inception.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Next up, prolific leaker SnoopyTech sent people on a bit of a scavenger hunt on Monday that led to sets of leaked renders of both the Galaxy Z Flip 5 and the Galaxy Z Fold 5 in various colors, using a binary-coded tweet<\/a> as the first clue. When translated, it directed readers to Pastebin<\/a> for more clues, and eventually, to renders and specs. I\u2019ve collected some of the renders in the gallery below:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n In the spec sheet SnoopyTech also included in the crumb trail,<\/a> the colors are listed as Cream; Graphite; Mint; and Lavender for the Z Flip 5 and Icy Blue; Cream; and Phantom Black for the Z Fold 5.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Apart from new color shades and obvious design tweaks, other changes to Samsung\u2019s foldables include upgraded Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 CPUs and a thinner chassis for both phones \u2014 partially backing up an April rumor<\/a> that the Z Fold 5\u2019s depth would be shaved.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n According to SnoopyTech\u2019s leaked specs, the Fold 5 will shrink from 14.2mm \u2014 the thinnest point of a folded Galaxy Z Fold 4<\/a> \u2014 to 13.4mm. The Z Flip 5 will also thin up, coming in at 15.1mm when folded versus 15.9mm at the thinnest point of a folded Z Flip 4<\/a>. The Galaxy Z Fold 5 may also lose some weight, dropping 10 grams from last year\u2019s model. Finally, the leak shows the Fold 5\u2019s camera array may have a 12MP telephoto lens \u2014 other previous leaks have put its telephoto at 10MP, which the Fold 4 used.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n There are two notable absences in SnoopyTech\u2019s leak: no 128GB model and no 1TB model for either phone. While that doesn\u2019t mean we won\u2019t see those storage levels in the final phones, it\u2019s worth looking out for next month. Otherwise, based on SnoopyTech\u2019s listed specs, no other differences stood out \u2014 the specs for battery life, Wi-Fi connectivity, RAM, and more all point to mostly unchanged internals. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
