We expect the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 to be again this year the top layering of Korean technology. As we told you a few days ago, this year’s Galaxy Unpacked summer edition will take place on July 26th, just 10 days from now, and although this suggests that there will be quite a few new products that the company will introduce, two foldable devices from the brand will attract a lot of attention. because it is undoubtedly one of Samsung’s most distinctive lines.

This year, however, and given what the leaks have revealed, It seems that we are in for a minor renovationwhich will have some improvements in the components, the expected new hinge that brings some improvements in the Galaxy Z Fold 5, and some small design elements, such as changing the location of the flash of the main camera, which until now was located inside the “island” formed by the cameras, but now from it comes out to be placed on the right, as you can see in the pictures we showed you a month ago.

According to some sources, this would lead to some dissatisfaction within Samsung itself, with some employees saying that such a short list of changes does not make the new model worthy of being considered a new version, but rather a revision in the style of those carried out by Apple with the iPhone S models . And I understand that point of view, but I think we have to be careful about this, because if the improvement in the hinge is as significant as it seems, personally I think this represents a significant enough change to justify a generational leap.

Be that as it may, today in Phone Arena we can see pictures from allegedly the official Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 mockup and as you can see, this graphic material should confirm the design we have already seen in renders which were revealed earlier. The images were originally posted on the Chinese social network Weibo by well-known and generally successful leaker Ice Universe, so we can give it a fair amount of credence.

Since this is a mockup and not a working prototype or final unit, it is not possible to check the effect of the new hinge on the screenthe main result of which is to reduce the fold that can be seen on the folding screen, and since the only image in which the mockup of the Galaxy Z Fold 5 is folded is the front one, we cannot confirm whether the closure of the phone is actually more complete, with between the two sides of the screen after folding no gap will be left on the phone.

Yes, they confirm what was stated above ie. flash output from the camera island, because it happens to be to the right of it, next to the top sensor. This may be related to the selected sensors and their corresponding size, which may have made it impossible to place the LED flash elements in this space.
