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.

The latest Apple TV 4K test lets you watch four sports streams at once

Apple is trying something new with the latest beta version of tvOS 16.5: the option to watch up to four simultaneous streams at once. Right now it's limited to live sports streamed through the Apple TV app on the Apple TV 4K , specifically MLB Friday Night Baseball and the MLS Season Pass. A multi-view option was spotted in the tvOS software last month, but the code was hidden and not enabled. MacRumors reported that the feature would be enabled this weekend, and beta testers have since been able to use it. As yet multi-view hasn't been officially announced by Apple, but it's expected that tvOS 16.5 is going to be pushed out in its final form within the next month or so. WWDC 2023 is around the corner as well, when we should be hearing about the next major updates for Apple's various operating systems – including tvOS 17. How it works Over at 9to5Mac there's a hands-on demonstrating how the multi-view feature works, and it's pretty much as you would expe...

Garmin's new radar-equipped tail light will keep you safe on your e-bike

Garmin's Varia bike radars are some of the most popular pieces of cycling tech around – and now the company has delivered its first rearview radar to have been specially designed for some of the best e-Bikes .   Garmin's Varia range mounts to the back of your bike and broadcasts a radar signal behind you, so you can get visual and audible alerts when something's overtaking you. Even better, the new Varia eRTL615 plugs directly into most e-bikes, with no battery required. Because the catchily-named Varia eRTL615 is also a tail light, it'll also make sure you're visible to other vehicles too, promising to emit a flashing or solid light that's visible from up to a mile away in daylight. To connect Garmin's new radar tail light to your e-bike, you'll need to pick the right Garmin adapter cable (which isn't included). You can buy power cables compatible with Bosch, Shimano, or USB-A terminals or connections, with more info on those available on Garmin...

Nvidia RTX 4080 GPU could get cheaper with a new version – but don’t get your hopes up

Nvidia’s RTX 4080 is purportedly getting a new spin on the GPU which could reduce the cost, but any price reduction will likely be very minor, sadly, if it happens at all. Tom’s Hardware flagged up this rumor – and treat it with caution, as with anything from the ever-spinning mill – that originated from HKEPC (a tech site in Hong Kong), claiming that while the current RTX 4080 graphics card is built on the AD103-300 chip, Nvidia is going to use a slightly different GPU in the future, namely AD103-301. There’s now more evidence this is actually happening, Tom’s points out, courtesy of a graphics card maker, Galax, which under its RTX 4080 product details lists the GPU as ‘AD103-300/301’. Furthermore, VideoCardz , which also picked up on this, informs us that Gainward, another card maker, has also listed the updated GPU variant AD103-301 in its product specs. With two separate third-party graphics card makers mentioning this new spin on the GPU in their specs, it seems pret...
