The Light Blue color variant might be a new color option for the Galaxy Z Fold 5, as the predecessor Galaxy Z Fold 4 came in Gray Green, Phantom Black, and Beige.
The Galaxy Z Flip 4 was released in Bora Purple, Graphite, Pink Gold, and Blue color options last year. And according to Ross, we might see a couple of different colorways this year, like Light Green and Beige. In addition to the new colorways, analysts further indicate we might see a bespoke edition Z Flip 5 next to some lower-volume color variants, likely Samsung-exclusive colors.
It will be exciting to see if Samsung opts for the aforementioned color options for its Galaxy foldables this year. It allows the company to lure more consumers into purchasing their next clamshell devices, especially with the rise in competition competing to make the best foldable devices in 2023.
As previously indicated, the launch is still several months away. However, a report that emerged earlier today revealed that the Galaxy Z Fold 5 is said to weigh 13 grams less than the device it replaces. According to the report, the Z Fold 5 will use a new hinge mechanism that is supposedly lighter and thinner, enabling the phone to fold flat and measure just 1 mm slimmer.
