The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 still has some way to go, but Samsung is considering how to fix some of its biggest flaws based on the latest leaks. According to leaker Lanzuk, Samsung may be using a new material to make its next-generation foldable devices.
The Galaxy Z Fold 4 is our top pick for the best foldable phone right now, but there’s no denying it’s still a bulky phone. At 9.28 ounces, it’s lighter than the 9.5-ounce Fold 3, but still significantly heavier than the 8.5-ounce iPhone 14 Pro Max. To be fair, though, the iPhone 14 Pro Max has a 6.7-inch display, while the Fold’s foldable panel is 7.6 inches. Using lighter materials will help offset the phone’s large size and allow for extra features to be added without making the phone too bulky.
What extra features might these be? For a potential answer to this question, we can refer to a report from a recent Samsung Mobile Experience (MX) Vendor Conference, reported by TheElec. While painting a rosy picture for current and future foldable phone performance, Samsung at the conference still recognized room for improvement in its foldable phones, noting some of the challenges it expects its suppliers to overcome in future foldable phones . That includes making foldable phones that are lighter, thinner, and more durable, with smaller display creases, which are all the complaints we and other users have had since the original Galaxy Fold.
More interestingly, Samsung also agrees that a built-in S Pen slot is a key feature, and it reportedly wants to add one to the Galaxy Z Fold 4. It doesn’t explain why not, but hopefully that’s a good sign the Galaxy Z Fold 5 will have this feature.
Samsung also highlighted the importance of improving its foldable camera. The Galaxy Z Fold 4 has improved the camera from the Galaxy Z Fold 3, but Samsung was apparently held back by the weight and thickness of the device. Perhaps by using the aforementioned lighter materials, Samsung will feel comfortable adding a better camera to the Galaxy Z Fold 5. For example, we could see a more powerful telephoto camera like the one offered by the Galaxy S22 Ultra or a higher-resolution main camera.
Finally, Samsung mentioned that the more square inner screen aspect ratio of the Z Fold series requires more software to adapt. This isn’t just a problem for Samsung’s foldables, but as more rivals launch and ship foldables to the US, UK and Australia, Samsung has to stay ahead of the foldables market if it wants to stay on top. overcome this problem.
