The company experimented with different options
As part of yesterday’s Galaxy Unpacked event, Samsung Electronics showed attendees different prototypes of the Galaxy Z Fold5 and Galaxy Z Flip5 , which the developers experimented with before settling on the final version.
In particular, the company looked at the different screen aspect ratios of the Galaxy Z Fold5. The foldable phone could be available in any of 19.5:9, 21:9, 22:9 and 23:9. Samsung even had 3D printed ones in 22.5:9 and 21.5:9 aspect ratios.
Galaxy Z Fold5 and Flip5 could be very different: Samsung showed prototypes
As a result, the Galaxy Z Fold5 will appear on store shelves with an aspect ratio of the outer screen of 23.1:9, which gives the internal display an aspect ratio of 21.6:18.
Samsung also experimented a lot with different combinations of color, material and texture for the Galaxy Z Flip5 clamshell. Glossy and matte variations of various colors were considered. Small body design changes are also noticeable, such as a more curved back panel that didn’t make it past the prototyping stage.
Russia has already begun accepting pre-orders for the Galaxy Z Fold5, Flip5 and other Samsung novelties .
