Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip 5G is basically confirmed in leaked video
It’s been the week of leaks for Samsung — there was the Note 20 Ultra, the Galaxy Tab S7+, these weird Samsung Galaxy earbuds, and now the Galaxy Z Flip 5G. The promotional video, which was most likely reserved for the Unpacked 2020 event in August, was leaked for all to enjoy.
Well-known leaker Max Weinbach posted the video on Twitter, giving us a closer look at the latest version of the foldable phone.
Judging by the video, it looks like the 5G variant will only be offered in one color — which likely goes by “Mystic Bronze” to match the Note 20 Ultra. The standard Z Flip is available in Mirror Purple, Mirror Black, and Mirror Gold.
Other than the new color though, the 5G edition doesn’t look all that different from the original version. There’s still a dual camera module, a small cover display for notifications, and the free-standing hinge.
Of course, since it’s equipped with 5G connectivity, the changes will probably be reserved for under the hood. While the standard Z Flip features Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 855 Plus processor, the Z Flip might instead pack the latest Snapdragon 865 Plus with support for 5G.
As mentioned before, we can expect the rest of the specs to remain mostly the same. According to The Verge, Samsung might replace the 12-megapixel ultra-wide sensor with a 10-megapixel ultra-wide sensor instead — to pair with the 12-megapixel main camera.
Although, Weinbach did point out earlier this month that it might be slightly thicker and taller than the previous version.
It’s 0.5mm thicker than the current flip and 0.1mm taller. It uses a new chip but every other spec is exactly the same.
Basically, this is what the Flip should have been when it launched but it wasn’t so at least we have more pricing options. https://t.co/8tVJ8MOodO

We don’t have any details on pricing either, but seeing as how the original Z Flip is a pricey $1,500, you’ll probably have to pay a little extra for that 5G support.
