Leaked Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 photos give us our best look yet at the phone

The closer we get to the launch of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5, the better and more detailed the leaks become, and the latest is among the best yet, as we’ve now seen photos that seemingly show the phone.

These were shared on Reddit (via Android Police) by a user who claims they obtained the images from someone who was trying to sell the phone, and the images certainly look authentic.

You can clearly see the gapless folding design, enabled by the new waterdrop hinge that’s been extensively rumored for the Galaxy Z Fold 5. The images also provide a clear look at the cover screen and the back of the device, complete with a triple-lens camera block.

There’s a photo of the main foldable screen too, but this is blurry making it hard to tell how big the crease is. Even with the blur though the crease is noticeable, which doesn’t bode well.

You can also see – based on the stickers on this Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 – that it appears to be a test device of some sort, so the hardware might not be final. Still, it gives us a good look at the likely design of the phone, and matches up with previous leaks.

Seen it all before

These aren’t actually the first leaked photos of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 that we’ve seen, but the previous set were lower quality and didn’t show the phone in full. They did show the same design though, so with most leaks now lining up we’d say this is probably what the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 will look like.

If so, then other than the two halves now folding flat it won’t look much different to the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4, but it’s sure to be more powerful, with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy chipset almost certainly set to be included, while leaks also point to a brighter screen, a new camera sensor, and possibly other upgrades.

We’ll know exactly what the phone has to offer soon, as Samsung is set to announce the Galaxy Z Fold 5 on July 26, and TechRadar will be covering the announcement in full. There should be a lot to see for fans of the best foldable phones, as the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 is also expected then, likely along with the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 series and the Samsung Galaxy Watch 6.

TechRadar's Year in Review: AI revolution, smartphone evolution, and visions of the future

If I had to sum up 2023 in one word it would be AI. Okay, technically that’s two initials, but let’s not quibble – because there’s no doubt that it provided the year in tech with its main story arc. Artificial intelligence was everywhere this year, as every company in the world gawped at the massive impact of ChatGPT, and decided they wanted to jump aboard that bandwagon. You could barely move for new chatbots, new image generators, and new AI-enhanced features in every device released in 2023. And there’s no sign of that changing in 2024; in fact, we expect it to be an even bigger deal. Elsewhere, phones and laptops did much the same as they had the previous year – well, except where they had new AI-enhanced features – so it was in the virtual reality space where bigger changes were afoot. If the Meta Quest 3 was impressive then the Apple Vision Pro looks to be genuinely game-changing, and we can’t wait to see what impact it has in the next 12 months. Of course we also saw plenty ...

Microsoft and Sony enter "binding agreement" to keep Call of Duty on PlayStation

Microsoft has announced that it has reached a "binding agreement" with Sony, pledging to keep Call of Duty on PlayStation following the acquisition of Activision Blizzard.  With Microsoft having won its anti-trust case with the US Federal Trade Commission , its planned acquisition of Call of Duty developers Activision Blizzard has taken a big step closer to becoming a reality. In order to alleviate the concerns of monopoly-building that got Microsoft in legal hot water to begin with, the head of Xbox, Phil Spencer, announced yesterday via Tweet that it has entered into an "agreement to keep Call of Duty on PlayStation."  This agreement will no doubt come as a relief to fans concerned that Microsoft's acquisition plans might result in Call of Duty becoming an Xbox exclusive, following in the footsteps of future Bethesda releases. Since Microsoft's acquisition of Bethesda caused the studio to break its tradition of offering titles cross-platform for upcomi...

This Stardew Valley-like farming sim plays at the bottom of your screen so you work and play at the same time

Stardew Valley and Animal Crossing are among some of the best choices out there if you're looking for a game to get swept up in for hours at a time. But, if you're a fan of management sims and a multitasker as well, this upcoming farming sim will likely pique your interest.  Developed by Mister Morris Games, Rusty's Retirement is an idle-farming simulation game that runs at the bottom of your gaming monitor, allowing you to focus on other tasks like working while you tend to your crops. Set to release in Q1 2024 on Steam , the idle sim puts you in the shoes of a wholesome robot as you grow crops and use them to produce clean and energy-efficient biofuel. Having gathered this "vital robot power source," you'll then need to sell your harvest to the other machine inhabitants of your settlement. This, in turn, will let you reinvest the money into expanding your farm. If you're a terrible procrastinator (like me) this might not sound like your cup of tea...
