The manufacturing big is launching new foldable units later within the yr, 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 yr. So with Samsung eager to pivot extra of its focus towards foldable traces, there’s no cause to consider there gained’t be a Z Flip 5. The large query is, what’s going to the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 launch date be?

We’ll reply that and a number of other associated questions on this fast information.

• 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’d see the Galaxy Z Flip 5 launch in August 2023. This was primarily based on the truth that the final three iterations of the telephone have launched in August in consecutive years. The one outlier was the primary era of the gadget, which arrived in February 2020. Even then, a 5G mannequin adopted that August.

Latest developments recommend that our guess was a bit off, though solely by a matter of days. Samsung not too long ago confirmed that it might 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 generally is a bit extra particular with a point of certainty. Based on Korean media outlet Chosun, the occasion shall be held on July 26, which is sensible to us. Samsung traditionally likes to carry these occasions on Wednesdays. Provided that that is the final Wednesday of that month, and maybe the one one which might be thought-about as ‘late July,’ it’s very credible that this would be the day to mark in your calendars.

We are able to’t say this for certain, however each historical past and leaks recommend that you simply gained’t have the ability to purchase the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 on the launch date.

Samsung’s most well-liked strategy lately has been to launch the newest flagship telephones at a Galaxy Unpacked occasion and make them accessible for pre-order on the identical day. The telephone 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 afterward 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 may additionally match Samsung’s tendency to have a Wednesday-Friday launch and launch schedule.

It’ll stay to be seen if we will depend on historical past and leaks to know when the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 launch date shall be. These assumptions aren’t all the time a definitive information. Whereas it’s a unique producer, Google took us all a bit abruptly at releasing the Pixel 7a on the identical day of the announcement in Could, 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 large information within the tech world. They’re going to make a track and dance about it because of this, which is why the Galaxy Unpacked occasions are all the time live-streamed.

The 2 finest locations to try to catch the Galaxy Unpacked livestream on July 26 shall be on Samsung.com or on Samsung’s YouTube channel. We’ll additionally hyperlink the stream reside 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’d be amazed if it didn’t make an look. Dealing with recent competitors within the face of the Google Pixel Fold, Samsung shall be seeking to launch a stable improve to its premium foldable and retain its dominance on this market.

It’s a bit early to be speaking in regards to the Galaxy Buds 3 Professional. In contrast to 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 guess 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 dangle your hat on is the Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 vary. Samsung’s flagship wearable has been a success every year following annual releases, so it might 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 shall be a Basic 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 area 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 kind of 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 can undoubtedly dominate the Android pill market.

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

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 launch date might fluctuate a bit in numerous regional markets, however broadly, we count on the gadget to be accessible in each nation that Samsung often 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 greatest markets.

The 2022 Samsung foldable lineup ultimately grew to become accessible 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.
