New Samsung leak talks about Galaxy Z Fold 5 key specs
The Galaxy Z Fold 5 will be introduced at the next Samsung Unpacked, sometime in late July 2023. Ahead of the release, we’ve witnessed a number of leaks and rumors revealing specifications. In a recent development, a reliable source revealed key specs of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 alongside the launch timeline.
According to Twitter tipster @Gadgetsdata specs leak, Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 features a new droplet hinge, which completely removes the gap when the phone is folded. The outer display measures 6.2 inches, and the inner expands to 7.6 inches, both are equipped with 120Hz refresh rate support.
In terms of optics, the next-gen foldable smartphone features a 50-megapixel primary camera with OIS, a 10-megapixel Telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom, a 12-megapixel ultrawide camera and a 12-megapixel primary selfie snapper (cover screen).
There will be protection of Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2 and the IPX8 rating will be continued further. The S23 series’ Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy will also power the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Z Flip 5, while Samsung is making optimizations to boost performance further.
The inner screen’s under-display camera will have slight improvements and a reduction in the pixelated visibility over the Z Fold 4. However, previous leaks solidified the claim that the Galaxy Z Fold 5 will look almost the same as its predecessor.
Last but not least, the device will come preloaded with Android 13, while a new One UI iteration is anticipated, with launch sometime in August. Wireless charging will be supported alongside the conventional 25W wired fast charging support to juice up the foldable phone.

Google launched the Pixel 9 series earlier than the usual Pixel flagship launch timeline. The Android 16 is also reportedly coming earlier than we’d expect, and the latest report says Google could launch Pixel 9a in the first quarter of the next year.
According to AndroidHeadlines, Google Pixel 9a could be announced by mid-March 2025. Multiple sources citing the outlet confirmed that the next affordable Pixel will go on sale before the end of March 2025.
It seems Google is preparing to bring its Galaxy S24 FE rival around the 2025 iPhone SE debut. Samsung has recently launched the new FE smartphone, while Apple is said to announce the next-generation iPhone SE early next year.
Recently, the CAD renders of Pixel 9a smartphone have been revealed. The images showcased Google’s design decisions. The next A series Pixel could not get bumped camera bar shown in the Pixel 9 series flagships.
Pixel 9 Pro XL reportedly sends private user data to Google servers every 15 minutes. A security researcher at Cybernews discovered that the phone frequently transmits sensitive user data, such as email addresses, phone numbers, and locations.
The discovery sparked a privacy fear as private data is being sent to Google through the Pixel 9 Pro XL. The smartphone sometimes transmits sensitive user data to Google servers even before any apps are installed.
The report also states that the Pixel 9 Pro XL has remote management capabilities, which operate without user consent or awareness. It seems there’s a severe security flaw within the Pixel 9 Pro XL’s operating system.
The phone communicates with services like Google Photos’ Face Grouping without user interaction, raising further privacy concerns. The native Calculator is also suspicious as it could leak calculation history to unauthorized users under certain conditions.
“The amount of data transmitted and the potential for remote management casts doubt on who truly owns the device. Users may have paid for it, but the deep integration of surveillance systems in the ecosystem may leave users vulnerable to privacy violations,” Nazarovas said.
It looks like the AI integration has made some major security flaws across the OS. Google packed the new Pixel phones with advanced security features. The research only discusses potential threats, with data leak isn’t such a general task.
Interestingly, Cybernews researchers employed a “man-in-the-middle” approach to capture and analyze this traffic but noted limitations due to the rooting process. As AI is making our lives easier, it is putting the data at threat at the same time.
