The upcoming Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5G has been listed on Geekbench and appears to be a big step up from the original model

According to the listing, the new Z Flip is powered by Qualcomm's latest and greatest mobile chipset, the Snapdragon 865, complemented by 8GB of RAM The multicore score is 3,183, a marked improvement from the original model's 2,759

The LTE version of the Z Flip is powered by a Snapdragon 855+ CPU, which is faster than the Galaxy Fold, Galaxy S10, and Galaxy Note 10 series, but not as fast as the latest Galaxy S20 series with the 865 z Flip 5G benchmark was revealed by SamMobile

The Z Flip 5G is expected to be unveiled at Samsung's upcoming late summer "Unpacked" hardware event, where the Galaxy Note 20, Galaxy Fold 2, Galaxy Watch 3, and possibly other wearables and accessories will also likely be announced Galaxy Note 20, Galaxy Fold 2, Galaxy Watch 3, and possibly other wearables and accessories will likely be unveiled That showcase is said to be on August 5, according to a post by leaker Ice Universe

Even without 5G connectivity or the fastest chipset, the existing Galaxy Z Flip is a great foldable and the first product we really fell in love with on Tom's Guide It feels sturdy, thanks to its Ultra Thin Glass-protected display, and it's built far better than the Motorola Razr in the same price range With an even more powerful processor, the Z Flip should be even better - especially if Samsung can keep the price under $1,400

However, one thing Samsung will likely fail to improve with this patch of the Z Flip is the device's poor battery life; the original model, with only a 3,300mAh battery, failed Tom's Guide's custom web surfing test in multiple trials, it lasted an average of only 8 hours and 16 minutes The handsets on our best handset battery life list last more than 11 hours

It is unlikely that Samsung will be able to increase the size of the battery in the new Z Flip Or, it might be better to wait for the larger Galaxy Fold 2 to make it last longer
