Samsung is set to unveil several new foldable devices during its
Unpacked event
in Seoul on July 26, the company announced on 5 July.
The event in South Korea comes after similar events in New
York and Las Vegas in recent years, and the company is
expected to unveil
several new foldable devices.
In the invitation to the event published by Samsung, viewers could
see a silhouette
of the Samsung Flip and, below it, the inscription"Join the flip
side.” For
those hoping to attend, the event will be broadcast live on
samsung.com.
During Unpacked, Samsung is expected to reveal the
fifth generation of
its foldable devices, the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and the Galaxy Z Flip 5,
and other
products are rumored to also be lined up for reveal.
Leaked information about the Flip 5
From leaks published so far, new and interesting details about the
devices have
emerged. Among other things, the Flip 5's external screen is
expected to be 3.4
inches, compared to 1.9 inches in the fourth generation of the flip.

Leaks about the Fold 5 model suggest that it appears that the biggest
change in the
device is related to its external design. The new device is expected
to be thinner
and lighter than previous models.
Additionally, other reports say that Samsung is working on developing

folding hinge, and leaked images suggest that there may
be no space at
all between the two sides when the device is folded.
In May, Display Supply Chain Consultants CEO Ross Young reported potential
colors for both upcoming Samsung foldable phones. Focusing on the Galaxy
Z Flip 5, Ross tweeted that there would be eight different
color options when the phone launched. Beige, Gray, Light Green and Light Pink
were described as "higher volume colors" that would be joined by Blue, Green,
Platinum and Yellow options.
We interpret Young's forecast to mean that there will be four official Galaxy Z
Flip 5 colors available to everyone — these are the beige, gray, light
green and light pink options. The others would either be Samsung.com exclusives
or available to shoppers order a bespoke edition of the Galaxy Z Flip 5.
Indeed, that interpretation seems to be on the right path, if alleged
renders posted by a leaker named Snoopy Tech are accurate. Those images
showed off the Galaxy Z Flip 5 in four colors, which the leaker identified as
Lavender, Mint, Cream, and Graphite. Those would make the light pink, light
green, beige and gray colors Young detailed.

as well (pictured above). And they also showcase the Lavender, Mint, Cream, and
Graphite colors.

Leaked images claiming to show off the Galaxy Z Flip 5 have surfaced online
recently, and one of them — courtesy of Leakspinner — features the phone in what
we would assume is the Cream option.
Galaxy Z Flip 5 colors
— what we expect
With all signs pointing to four color options for the Galaxy Z Flip 5, who are we
to disagree? The rumored Graphite option ticks the box for that darker color
option, and the Cream color gives fans of white phones an appealing choice. That
leaves Cream and Lavender as brighter color options in line with the Galaxy Z
Flip's history.
We also wouldn't rule out the possibility of colors available exclusively from
Samsung that match the four options Young predicts. Samsung does offer a bespoke
edition of its flip phone foldable, so having additional color choices would be
in line with that approach.
We expect to discover exactly what colors the Galaxy Z Flip 5 will offer, along
with the phone's other features, when Galaxy
Unpacked kicks off at the end of this month. In the meantime, check out
