Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5 breaks cover in spy shot

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5 has had no shortage of leaks and the latest one is a live look at the device in its folded form. We can see the phone propped inside a protective case that’s common amongst pre-release phones and it seems the cover screen display design rumors were in fact true.

Galaxy Z Flip5 is equipped with a folder-shaped cover screen which takes up a significant portion of the top half of the device. Based on previous rumors, this is a 3.4-inch AMOLED display with 720x748px resolution and Samsung will be looking to take advantage of the larger screen by letting users run Google-optimized apps including Google Maps and YouTube.

Apart from the large cover screen we can see Z Flip5 sports dual cameras believed to be the same 12MP wide and ultrawide sensors from the Z Flip4 and an LED flash next to them. We can also spot the volume and power buttons with the latter likely also doubling as a fingerprint scanner.
