Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5: What you may expect

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 has been the subject of several leaks and rumours, revealing potential specs and features. According to tipsters, one notable improvement could be a larger 3.4-inch cover display, which is in contrast to its predecessor, the Galaxy Z Flip 4 that had a 1.8-inch cover display. When unfolded, the smartphone could get a 6.8-inch AMOLED display. Additionally, it is expected that the Galaxy Z Flip 5 will be upgraded to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset.
