There is news about Samsung’s two foldable smartphones. The manufacturer will announce the new Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Z Flip 5 this summer. We are now getting to know a few things about the brand’s new models; including about the screen and the S Pen.

Information about Galaxy Z Flip 5 and Z Fold 5

This summer we can expect the new Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 and the Galaxy Z Fold 5. The smartphone manufacturer itself is still tight-lipped, but the first reports are now appearing in the rumor circuit. First of all about the Galaxy Z Fold 5. Remarkably enough, this would no longer have a slot for the S Pen. This information emerges in a South Korean report. Samsung would have considered adding a built-in lock again, but would now refrain from this because the device would be too thick.

The Galaxy Z Fold 5 is reportedly getting a new design, which mainly concerns the hinges, minimizing the (visible) fold. In turn, a slimmer S Pen would have been thought of, but it would hamper the writing experience. There are reports of a modified, thinner S Pen that is being worked on by Samsung. We might see this with the Galaxy Z Fold 6.

Galaxy Z Flip 5

There is also news about the other foldable smartphone from the Galaxy Z line. It concerns the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5. A usually reliable source, Ice Universe, says that it can be confirmed that the screen of the Flip 5 will be a lot larger than the current screen from the Flip 4. The external screen on the outside on the cover, would even be larger than that of the recently released Oppo Find N2 Flip. That screen has a size of 3.26 inches. With a larger screen, more options can be added, making it even more useful. It is not known how big the screen of the Z Flip 5 will be. According to sources, the device will also receive a new hinge technology, with which the fold should be less or no longer noticeable and / or visible.
