Galaxy Z Flip 5 leak just revealed all of its biggest specs

Leaked render of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5.

So far, we've only heard a handful of rumors regarding the upcoming Galaxy Z Flip 5, but a recent leak revealed nearly everything about the foldable's specs, launch window, and price.

According to a tweet from reputable leaker Yogesh Brar, we should be expecting the Flip 5 to launch at the end of next month on July 26 or 27 and cost $999, just like the Galaxy Z Flip 4 before it. In terms of the specs themselves, Samsung isn't making any huge leaps from what we're expecting the company to bring out for the Flip and Fold 5, although there are still plenty of upgrades if the leak is accurate.

The Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Galaxy Z Flip 5 are two of 2023's most anticipated foldable releases, and according to one new report, we may know exactly when Samsung plans on launching them.

According to the Korean publication Chosun Media, Samsung is expected to unveil the Z Fold 5 and Z Flip 5 during a "public event" on July 26. Following that public event (which is almost certainly the next Samsung Unpacked), the Z Fold 5 and Z Flip 5 will be available for immediate purchase starting August 11.
