The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 's launch date is approaching, scheduled for August 11, 2023, and we still don't know its official price. However, some information has already leaked about the new features of this new phone, allowing us to make some assumptions about its launch price.
Join the conversation and let's analyze the potential price of the Galaxy Z Flip 5 to see if it's within your budget.
Estimated price of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5
The first thing to remember is the launch price of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 a year ago, its starting price was $999 . Considered one of the most affordable foldable phones on the market.
There's now speculation that the new Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 could be priced 20% higher than its predecessor, due to all the rumored improvements this new offering will feature. That means it could have a base market launch price of around $1,200 . This price could vary by country depending on the taxes payable.
Most notable improvements in the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5
Some key improvements that suggest a higher price are:
The external panel is expected to be larger than its predecessor, we're talking 3.4 inches compared to 1.9 inches on the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4. The external screen is almost square and quite wide.
The advantage of this type of panel for the user is that they can read notifications, reply to messages, and control music, all without having to open the phone. This would reduce the number of times the phone needs to be opened, which is also beneficial for increasing the lifespan of its hinges.
And speaking of hinges, it's also rumored that its designers and engineers have gone to great lengths to offer a more durable hinge on the Z Flip 5, specifically with a view to reducing the deterioration of the crease on the panel. There's even talk of a crease-free hinge, which could withstand more intensive use, allow for smoother opening and closing, and reduce the risk of damage to the screen.
This design and engineering change alone can lead to a considerable increase in price.
Additionally, it is also expected to arrive with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor and run Android 13. This way, the phone would be guaranteed to receive updates for approximately 4 years.
On the other hand, the Galaxy Z Flip 5 comes equipped with an advanced processor to take advantage of 5G speeds in countries already prepared to support this technology. And with Chile leading the 5G network in Latin America , this fills us with great hope.
