Specifically, a credible source recently disclosed that the forthcoming horizontal folding screen model will undergo substantial hardware upgrades while retaining a design reminiscent of the Galaxy Z Fold4.

According to renowned leaker Ice Universe, the Galaxy Z Fold5 boasts a 6.2-inch external display akin to the Galaxy Z Fold4, encompassing aspect ratios as well. If accurate, Samsung seems to have overlooked user preferences for a larger secondary display for easier input and usage of certain applications. Nevertheless, thanks to a novel waterdrop hinge design, when folded, the phone's two halves will seamlessly interlock without gaps, rendering the device 1mm thinner than its predecessor.

Furthermore, Samsung appears poised to introduce a new touchscreen for its upcoming foldable smartphone model. The Galaxy Z Fold5 is rumored to weigh 254g, 9mm lighter than the Galaxy Z Fold4. This device is anticipated to employ the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy SoC, offering enhanced performance for users.
Previous reports indicate that Samsung will maintain the rear hardware configuration of the Galaxy Z Fold5. Nonetheless, this could mark the world's first foldable phone to feature dust resistance.
