Samsung will unveil the Galaxy Z Flip 5 and the Galaxy Z Fold 5 next week. While the Galaxy Z Fold 5 will bring minor improvements, the Galaxy Z Flip 5 will be a massive improvement over the Galaxy Z Flip 4. Leaked images show that it will feature a big cover screen, allowing users to do more without opening the phone.

Reliable tipster Roland Quandt posted official images of the Galaxy Z Flip 5. Looking at the images (look at those images on 9To5Google), Samsung will allow users to use the full keyboard on the Galaxy Z Flip 5's cover screen. Leaked promotional images, which are now taken down, reveal that there will be enhanced widgets and mini versions of stock apps, including Calendar, Messages, Phone, Samsung Wallet, and Weather. It will also offer a fully-functional camera app. It will also have a widget for photos that also shows the time and date.

Galaxy Z Flip 5 might not allow users to use full-fledged apps

We had exclusively revealed a few weeks ago that Samsung also worked with Google to bring special functionalities and optimized Google apps to the Galaxy Z Flip 5's cover screen, including navigation updates from Google Maps. It looks like the Galaxy Z Flip 5 won't allow users to use full-fledged apps, unlike the Motorola Razr 40 Ultra. In comparison, despite their big cover screens, OPPO and Vivo's flip phones also lack the ability to use full-fledged apps.

Leaked images (see them here) also show that Galaxy Z Flip 5 and Galaxy Z Fold 5 will have a new gapless hinge. It means there won't be any gap between the two folding halves of the upcoming phones, making them more resilient against dust and water. They will also cosmetically look better than their predecessors. Both new phones are expected to feature the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 For Galaxy processor.
