Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5 and Galaxy Flip5 to be unveiled on July 26
We've read multiple reports claiming the early launch of Samsung's foldables this year, possibly in late July. And while none provided an exact date, South Korean publication Chosun Media claims Samsung will unveil the Galaxy Z Fold5 and Galaxy Z Flip5 on July 26, with sales commencing on August 11.
The publication further claims that Samsung will host the Unpacked event to unveil these foldables in Seoul, South Korea this time instead of the US.
Moreover, citing an industry insider, the source said that the reason for unveiling the foldables early this year is the sluggish performance of Samsung's semiconductor business, which makes it important for the Korean conglomerate's mobile division to perform well.
Launching the Galaxy Fold5 and Galaxy Flip5 earlier than usual will create enough gap between the foldables and Apple's iPhone 15 lineup, expected to go official in September, which could help Samsung sell more of its foldable smartphones.
