Tech giant Samsung is all set to launch new A-Series devices in India on January 18 followed by the global launch of the Samsung Galaxy S23 Series on February 1. Now, it seems the work on the next generation of foldables is also in full swing as the latest reports hint that the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 will launch in the summer of 2023 and have some new features.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 Leaks & Rumours

The latest report by The Pulse claims that the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 will have a holder for the standard S-pen stylus by Samsung, which will improve the productivity of the foldable. This might increase the overall thickness and weight of the device as some other reports suggest that the Z Fold 5 will weigh 275 grams and be 6.5mm thick when unfolded. If this happens, the foldable will become rather hefty to carry in your pockets.

The report by Pulse also claims that the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 might be powered by an unreleased Snapdragon 985 5G chipset which is quite unlikely as Qualcomm no longer names its chips with 3-digit numbers. Since Galaxy Z Fold 4 was powered by Snapdragon 8+ gen 1, the Galaxy Z Fold 5 may come with a Snapdragon 8 Gen chip or a plus version that might launch later.

Things are nascent, so all these rumors should be taken with a pinch of salt.
