Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 is expected to go official in August this year. We're still months away from its expected launch, however, a concept render of Samsung's upcoming clamshell foldable smartphone has surfaced online showing off its possible design. The Galaxy Z Flip 5 is expected to feature a larger outer display. Last year's Galaxy Z Flip 4 had a 1.9-inch outer display. The Galaxy Z Flip 5 is expected to be powered by a customised version of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC.

A concept render of the rumoured Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 created by Sammobile suggests a large external display covering a wide surface area. The external display of the upcoming handset could be much larger than the Galaxy Z Flip 4's 1.9-inch screen. The huge cover screen could allow users to capture selfies and display notifications such as time, battery percentage, and more.
