If you've been keeping an eye out on the next-generation Galaxy Flip and Fold devices, the latest rumours about them revolve around the colour options. DSCC CEO Ross Young claims the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5 will come in Beige, Gray, Light Green, and Light Pink, while the Galaxy Z Fold5 will be available in Beige, Black, and Light Blue. Young claims Samsung will give these colour options "some good flashy names when launched along with some bespoke and lower volume colours," which is typical of what Samsung does for its foldable line.

Previous rumours about these foldables include a larger cover screen for the Flip5, while the Fold5 will get a droplet-style hinge to reduce the gap when the phone is folded.
