Recently, a tipster revealed that the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5 brings a 3.4-inch cover screen. Now, the source shared a possible aspect ratio, which solidifies the rumor of a squarish cover display’s arrival on the next Flip.
According to IceUniverse, the cover screen scale (screen-to-body ratio) of the Z Flip5 is 1:1:038, which indicates a square display panel. To be mentioned, Oppo’s flip phone has a rectangular display outside, bigger than the Flip 4.
Earlier, the same tipster shared an image render of the Galaxy Z Flip5, showing off the possible cover display panel. However, we believe that the company may not bring camera sensors inside the cover screen of the smartphone.
We might see a new camera arrangement or design on Samsung’s next clamshell foldable smartphone. The official launch is expected for August 2023, so naturally, we have to wait sometime to see what’s coming next.

Galaxy Z Flip5 Expected Specs
It was reported that the Galaxy Z Flip5 would have narrower bezels inside (when unfolded), which can be considered another big upgrade. The device may feature Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 2 processor, manufactured by TSMC.
However, the South Korean tech giant may continue using the booming Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor, which debuted with the Galaxy S23 series in its next-gen foldable phones – Galaxy Z Fold5 and Z Flip5.
The devices may come pre-installed with Android 13-based One UI 5.1.1 software out of the box along with support for major upgrades up to Android 17 and security patches until late 2028.
Samsung is likely to launch its next-generation flagship Galaxy tablets along with foldables and wearable devices. Now, the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 Plus and Tab S9 Ultra models got listed on TUV certification, revealing model numbers and charging support.
According to the information, Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 Plus and Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra would continue to feature support for 45W fast charging. The certification suggests that both models could ship with support for 10V/4.5A – or 45W – fast charging.

In the model numbers, the last digit B stands for 5G, 0 for Global Wi-Fi only and N for the Korean variant.
To be noted, Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 Plus and Tab S9 Ultra predecessors were shipped with the same charging support of 45W. Meanwhile, you will have to purchase the charging adapter separately as part of supporting Samsung’s efforts to reduce electronics waste.

The tech industry is now waiting for Samsung to release its next generation foldable phones. While the Galaxy Z5 launch is still away, we are hearing more and more about the next-gen Galaxy S flagships. New rumor claims Samsung has canceled the variable zoom camera on Galaxy S24 Ultra.
According a new rumor, Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra may get the same quad camera setup as the Galaxy S23 Ultra. The company’s plan to install a new varible zoom camera on the Galaxy S24 Ultra has been terminated, resulting in the same design on the rear panel.
Since the Galaxy S20 Ultra, Samsung has been maintainging the quad camera installation on Galaxy S Ultra smartphones. The S20 Ultra, S21 Ultra, S22 Ultra and the recently released S23 Ultra all equipped with quad camera system.
Earlier, the same source revealed that the South Korean tech giant is considering ditching a 3x telephoto camera in favor of new variable zoom lens. The Galaxy S23 Ultra has already broght a serious upgrade to 200-megapixel lens, therefore, the next yera’s model may remain untouched.
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 crease is almost the same as its predecessor, raising the question of whether it uses the rumored waterdrop hinge technology or not. Trusted source @UniverseIce recently revealed this news, hinting at the least upgrade in Samsung’s foldable history.

According to the tipster, the display crease of the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 looks the same as the Galaxy Z Fold 4. It was reported that the next foldable phone will be equipped with a new droplet hinge design to vanish the crease visibility.
Meanwhile, the “100% confirmed” leak points out it’s not changing this year. However, there is a probability of changes in the real product as the company is reportedly testing the durability of the device after applying the new hinge alongside the existing U-shaped hinge.
Various Chinese phone makers adopted the waterdrop hinge technology. Oppo’s Find N2 is a smartphone with the least visible crease in the industry as per the feedback of reviewers. However, durability always remains in priority as the foldable form factor is yet to mature.
100% confirmed!
Bad news: Galaxy Z Fold5 crease is almost the same as Fold4, so we wonder whether it really uses a water drop hinge.— Angry Cat (@UniverseIce) May 29, 2023
