Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Z Flip 5 Launch Date Reportedly Set for July 26

It looks like Samsung may soon be launching its upcoming foldable smartphones, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Galaxy Z Flip 5. According to a recent report from Korean publication Chosun (via tipster Abhishek Yadav), the launch of the foldables is expected to take place in Seoul, Korea on July 26. This comes after recent speculation that the launch of the foldables may have been preponed in an attempt to boost the firm’s Q3 profits.

The report also mentions that the phones will go on sale August 11, which is a few weeks earlier than Samsung’s Unpacked event last year. It could be speculated that the earlier launch date is aimed at allowing the company to keep the phones on sale for a longer duration in its third quarter.

Samsung Prepones Launch to Boost Q3 Profits

Samsung is reportedly planning to launch its upcoming foldable smartphones, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Galaxy Z Flip 5, on July 26 in Seoul, Korea. This comes after recent reports suggesting that Samsung is planning to prepone the launch of the foldables in order to boost its Q3 profits.

The report also mentions that the phones will go on sale August 11, which is slightly earlier than Samsung’s Unpacked event last year. The earlier launch date could be aimed at allowing the company to keep the phones on sale for a longer duration in its third quarter.

Both handsets are expected to be upgraded to the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoCs, just like the customised versions of the processors on the recent Galaxy S23 lineup. The Galaxy Z Flip 5 could also get a much bigger outer display compared to the outgoing Galaxy Z Flip 4 model, while the Galaxy Z Fold 5 may get minor upgrades.

It remains to be seen how Samsung’s foldables will fare in the market, especially with the increasing competition from Chinese smartphone brands. We will have to wait until the official launch to find out more details about the upcoming foldable.
