Given Samsung's six month flagship release schedule, it’s always been a safe bet that the Galaxy Flip 5 and Galaxy Fold 5 are in the offing.

    They’re just hypeing up a minor spec bump I guess. Great if you’re in the market but doesn’t seem like the 5 is much of an upgrade over the 4.

    I’d probably pay about $300 to upgrade from a 4 to a 5, or $600 to upgrade from a Fold 3 to a 5. Any more than that probably isn’t worth it.

      Oh no doubt. I don’t have one yet though, so I’m watching closely. The new hinge makes it appealing for me, but I know it’ll likely be the 6th gen that introduces more significant changes.

        We all thought that the 5th one would be the significant redesign.

        Personally I like the form factor of the 4 and don’t need it to be too different. I really like being able to hold it in one hand when closed, which I can’t do with many other slab phones these days. I wouldn’t mind it being like 1mm wider, but that’s it.

    i love my flip 4, and i think that maybe i will upgrade to a fold 4 when the 5 series launch. So far my flip 4 is a great phone, solid, really well constructed and it erased all my fears of the folding screen durability. I think that the 5 series will be a little more expensive, and, normally, the 4 will get a discount, so is time for an upgrade from the flip to the fold.
