Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5G is coming to Canada on Aug. 7 for $2,019

The first foldable device with 5G connectivity is here. Samsung officially unveils the Galaxy Z Flip 5G ahead of its upcoming Unpacked event on August 5. This new model comes just five months after the release of the original Galaxy Z Flip. It's launching in Canada on August 7, with a retail price of $2,019.99. Available in the new Mystic Bronze and Mystic Grey colours, the Galaxy Z Flip 5G will be sold at Samsung Experience Stores, through major Canadian carriers and retail partners, and online at samsung.com/ca.

The Galaxy Z Flip 5G gets a processor upgrade with the 5G-capable Qualcomm Snapdragon 865+ chipset while retaining 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. In other respects, the foldable phone keeps the original device's features, too. It still has a 1.1-inch LCD screen in front, a 6.7-inch foldable clamshell display, and a 3,300mAh battery. But if you want the new chipset and 5G support, that might be enough to sway you to get the Galaxy Z Flip 5G.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5G leaked in new 'Mystic Bronze' colour

Samsung has been rumoured to be developing a 5G variant of the Galaxy Z Flip. The foldable phone launched last year as an LTE model only. But this time, we've heard talks of a 5G variant. Reliable phone leaker Evan Blass shared the upcoming device in a new colourway called "Mystic Bronze." It looks almost identical to the LTE model, but it'll supposedly be taller and thicker and run on Qualcomm's new Snapdragon 865 Plus processor. Everything else, though, will reportedly be the same. Samsung has an Unpacked event on August 5, and if these constant barrage of rumours are anything to go by, we might see this device at the online launch.
