One of the most significant differences between the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and its predecessor, the Fold 4, will be the hinge. Samsung has reportedly opted for a drop solution that will reduce the visibility of the crease in the center. This transition will reduce the thickness of the device from 15.8-14.2 mm to approximately 13 mm. In addition, the two sides of the folding element must be closed like a book, leaving no space between them.
The upcoming foldable is expected to have almost identical dimensions to the current generation, with just a 0.2mm difference. The weight of the device is also expected to be lighter at 254 grams, which is nine grams less than the Galaxy Z Fold 4. It is also reported that the device’s external display will remain 6.2 inches and will not undergo significant changes.
Other notable features expected to be included in the Galaxy Z Fold 5 are new touchscreen technology, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 mobile platform, IPX8 water resistance, and an ISOCELL GN3 primary sensor (not the ISOCELL HP2 found in the Galaxy S23 Ultra ).
