Leaked Galaxy Z Fold 5 case confirms design rumors



Last week, we saw a transparent protective case for Samsung’s upcoming clamshell foldable Galaxy Z Flip 5 leak in a few real-life photos confirming the rumored cover display redesign. We now have a couple of leaked photos of a clear case for the Galaxy Z Fold 5 as well, courtesy of the same source.

Shared by tipster Ice Universe on Twitter, the leaked photos confirm that Samsung isn’t making any major design changes to its Fold series foldable this year. The Galaxy Z Fold 5 will mostly look identical to its predecessor. We are expecting it to be thinner and lighter, but not much more than that. The tipster also shared a photo of a similar case for last year’s Galaxy Z Fold 4. The only major noticeable change between the two is a repositioned LED flash at the back.

As you can see below, the photo on the left has a tiny hole next to the vertical camera cutout. This is where Samsung will place the flash unit on the Galaxy Z Fold 5. The photo on the right, meanwhile, doesn’t have any such hole. That’s because the Galaxy Z Fold 4 has its LED flash below the camera array. The case doesn’t have a separate cutout for it. Since the flash is housed within the camera bump, the cutout is a bit longer on the latter.

Speaking of the camera bump, this is a design change that can’t be observed in these photos. The Galaxy Z Fold 5 doesn’t have a camera bump on the back. It will feature three cameras and all of them will protrude out of the back panel individually. There’s no raised bump housing the three sensors within it. This has been Samsung’s design philosophy for every single Galaxy smartphone launched so far in 2023, including the Galaxy A14 budget handset and the Galaxy S23 flagships. The Galaxy Z Flip 5 gets the same design too.

The Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Flip 5 may arrive in late July

Samsung has been launching its new foldable smartphones in the first half of August every year since 2020. However, it may prepone the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Galaxy Z Flip 5 launch by a few weeks this year. Rumors are that the latest foldables will go official in late July. The company is reportedly considering this change due to the current global economic situation and its own financial struggles in recent months. If true, brace yourself for more Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Galaxy Z Flip 5 leaks in the coming weeks.
