Description:
If you're not taken by the aesthetic appeal of the Z Flip 5 yet, keep an eye 
out for this rumored new variant.

FULL STORY
======================================================================

We didn't find much to complain about in our Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 review , 
but it looks as though Samsung is planning another variant of the flip 
foldable  and it's apparently going to be marketed as a 'retro' edition. 

This comes from MSPoweruser (via Notebookcheck ), and there are pictures 
attached. The images add to the credibility of the claim, but as always, 
nothing is official until it's official (and company plans can always 
change). 

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 Retro Edition is explained as being "a nod to the 
past, but with a modern twist"  in terms of telephones that might get you 
thinking about rotary dials and extendable antennas, but apparently only the 
colors and finish are changing. 

This foldable will apparently come with a blue color panel and a matte finish 
on the frame. Everything else is the same, and according to MSPoweruser we 
can look forward to the refreshed handset showing up "in the coming weeks". 
More colors 

You can currently pick up the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 in Mint, Lavender, 
Graphite and Cream, with Gray, Blue, Green, and Yellow also available on the 
Samsung website. This new 'retro' blue looks to be a darker shade to the 
existing blue. 

New color options seem to be an easy win for smartphone manufacturers: 
minimal retooling is required as far as the production lines go, the phone 
gets back in the news cycle, and more consumers might be tempted to pick one 
up. 

You might remember Samsung pulled a similar trick when it added a new Bora 
Purple option to the Samsung Galaxy S22 last year. Apple likes to do this as 
well, most recently pushing out a yellow shade for the iPhone 14 back in 
March. 

No other leaks have corroborated the existence of this phone, and MSPoweruser 
doesn't have the most prolific track record with leaks (although it's by no 
means a newbie either)  but this sounds plausible enough to be actually 
happening. You might also like Samsung just made getting your Galaxy devices
