Samsung is on the verge of hosting its highly anticipated Galaxy Unpacked event, where you will likely see the launch of a pair of its foldable smartphones. Among these is the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5. As we are nearing the launch, the leaks and rumours are boosting the excitement around these upcoming smartphones. So far, a lot has been reported about the display upgrade, cameras, and performance and now, the latest leak has shed light on the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 price well ahead of launch. Here is how much it may cost.

A report by TechManiacs has indicated that the Galaxy Z Flip 5 price may take a substantial leap compared to the price of the Flip 4 last year. The rumoured pricing for the new model stands at €1299 (around Rs. 116440) for an 8GB RAM and 128GB storage variant. It must be noted that the Galaxy Z Flip 4's launch price for the same storage variant was set at €1099. That means it is expected to get an almost 20 percent price hike when compared to its previous avatar.

GSMArena report suggests that there may be a difference in price due to VAT, but that will not translate into more than €30-40 hike. However, the final price will be revealed during the Unpacked event, which is tipped to be held in the last week of July.

One of the most notable and talked about leaks is the cover display! Samsung is expected to upgrade the Z Flip 5 cover display to a whopping 3.4 inches. It will be a massive upgrade over the 1.9-inch cover display of the Galaxy Z Flip 4. Moreover, the new flip is expected to get an upgrade of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset that we have seen in the Galaxy S23 Ultra. Some leaks suggest that the next Galaxy Flip phone will have an IP58 rating.
