Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 release date: Is it official?

Whereas Samsung hasn’t formally confirmed the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 by identify but, we may be all however sure that it’s coming. The manufacturing large is launching new foldable units later within the 12 months, and the Z Flip line is its star performer. Opposite to what some may assume, the Galaxy Z Flip 4 outsold the Z Fold 4 final 12 months. So with Samsung eager to pivot extra of its focus towards foldable traces, there’s no cause to imagine there gained’t be a Z Flip 5. The massive query is, what is going to the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 launch date be?

We’ll reply that and several other associated questions on this fast information.

• Samsung Galaxy Z Flip — February 14, 2020
• Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5G — August 7, 2020
• Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 — August 24, 2021
• Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 — August 10, 2022

Till not too long ago, we had assumed that we might see the Galaxy Z Flip 5 launch in August 2023. This was primarily based on the truth that the final three iterations of the cellphone have launched in August in consecutive years. The one outlier was the primary era of the machine, which arrived in February 2020. Even then, a 5G mannequin adopted that August.

Latest developments counsel that our guess was just a little off, though solely by a matter of days. Samsung not too long ago confirmed that it could launch its new vary of foldable telephones — undoubtedly together with the Galaxy Z Flip 5 —on the finish of July in its residence nation of Seoul throughout its twenty seventh Galaxy Unpacked occasion.

That’s as a lot as we’ve had formally confirmed, however we is usually a bit extra particular with a point of certainty. Based on Korean media outlet Chosun, the occasion will probably be held on July 26, which is smart to us. Samsung traditionally likes to carry these occasions on Wednesdays. On condition that that is the final Wednesday of that month, and maybe the one one which may very well be thought-about as ‘late July,’ it’s very credible that this would be the day to mark in your calendars.

We will’t say this for positive, however each historical past and leaks counsel that you simply gained’t be capable to purchase the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 on the launch date.

Samsung’s most popular method lately has been to launch the newest flagship telephones at a Galaxy Unpacked occasion and make them out there for pre-order on the identical day. The cellphone would then hit the cabinets a few weeks later. This was what we anticipated on the launch of the Galaxy S23 line, and that’s the way it unfolded. It’s additionally true of the discharge schedule for earlier generations of the foldable units. The Galaxy Z Flip 4 launched on August 10, 2022, and have become available for purchase 16 days in a while August 26.

This 16-day pre-order interval tallies with the aforementioned leaks from Chosun, with the supply claiming that the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 launch date is Friday, August 11, 2023. This could additionally match Samsung’s tendency to have a Wednesday-Friday launch and launch schedule.

It is going to stay to be seen if we are able to depend on historical past and leaks to know when the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 launch date will probably be. These assumptions aren’t at all times a definitive information. Whereas it’s a special producer, Google took us all just a little abruptly at releasing the Pixel 7a on the identical day of the announcement in Might, opposite to its personal prior conference for a pre-order interval on the road. We’ll preserve you posted after we hear extra.

There’ll undoubtedly be a livestream of the Galaxy Z Flip 5 launch. Samsung is releasing its newest foldable flagship units, which it’s hoping is massive information within the tech world. They’re going to make a music and dance about it because of this, which is why the Galaxy Unpacked occasions are at all times live-streamed.

The 2 finest locations to try to catch the Galaxy Unpacked livestream on July 26 will probably be on Samsung.com or on Samsung’s YouTube channel. We’ll additionally hyperlink the stream dwell on Android Authority and provide the newest perception on what’s popping out of the occasion.

Samsung has already confirmed that it’s launching its newest set of foldables on the upcoming occasion, so the obvious candidate to seem alongside the Galaxy Z Flip 5 is, naturally, the Galaxy Z Fold 5. The rumors and bulletins concerning the Galaxy Z Fold 5 are the identical or mirror these of the smaller sibling, so we might be amazed if it didn’t make an look. Dealing with contemporary competitors within the face of the Google Pixel Fold, Samsung will probably be trying to launch a stable improve to its premium foldable and retain its dominance on this market.

It’s a bit early to be speaking concerning the Galaxy Buds 3 Professional. Not like the flagship telephones, Samsung doesn’t are inclined to launch a brand new set of earbuds in every line yearly. However there are two ranges of Galaxy Buds, and the unique wi-fi earbuds are due for an improve. We predict it’s a fairly good wager that we’ll see the Galaxy Buds 3 unveiled on the upcoming Unpacked occasion. The unique Galaxy Buds had been launched in March 2019, and the second era debuted in August 2021. If this approximate two-year hole is to be maintained, it stands to cause that this would be the audio {hardware} to accompany the brand new handsets.

One other robust contender you possibly can cling your hat on is the Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 vary. Samsung’s flagship wearable has been successful annually following annual releases, so it could be very unusual for the OEM to mothball it now. The final three iterations of the Galaxy Watch have all launched at an Unpacked occasion in August, main us to conclude that the smartwatch will seem alongside the Z Flip 5 in late July. What’s much less clear is that if there will probably be a Traditional model, as there was within the Galaxy Watch 4 vary, or a Professional model, as in the latest line. The latter could also be a bit extra doubtless, however perhaps we’ll see each. Watch this area.

We’re anticipating a crowded discipline at this occasion, because the rumors and hypothesis don’t cease there. There are credible leaks suggesting that this would be the occasion at which the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 will arrive, with Plus and Extremely variations to match that of the present Tab S8 lineup. There have been round 18 months between the launch of the Tab S7 and the Tab S8. The July 26 showcase comes roughly 18 months after the latter in February 2022, and with leaks together with mannequin numbers already throughout the web, you possibly can count on to catch a primary glimpse of the newest slates that may undoubtedly dominate the Android pill market.

We will’t rule out Samsung introducing extra {hardware} on prime of all of this, with leaks earlier within the 12 months pointing to a second era of the Galaxy SmartTag seeming very credible. The second iteration of the tracker is more likely to characteristic enhancements to wi-fi vary, safety, and battery life.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 launch date could differ just a little in numerous regional markets, however broadly, we count on the machine to be out there in each nation that Samsung normally operates. There doesn’t seem like any cause why Samsung would have extra restricted attain for its new foldables because it had for the Galaxy Z Flip 4 and Z Fold 4, particularly within the face of latest competitors from Google and Motorola within the largest markets.

The 2022 Samsung foldable lineup finally grew to become out there in over 130 nations worldwide. We’re anticipating the identical from the Galaxy Z Flip 5. These nations embody the US, Canada, Europe, Australia, India, and naturally, South Korea.
