Samsung has long been a popular force in the world of foldable phones. They were among the first to bring a folding device to market, and have consistently made upgrades and improvements since then.

The next generation of these devices is due to launch in around a month – and we may have just got a first glimpse of one of the devices. Well, okay, not the first first glimpse. We saw leaked renders of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 earlier this month. But this is the first time one appears to have been spotted in the wild.

The image was provided on Twitter by noted tech leaker, Tech_Reve. It shows what appears to be the Z Flip 5 – complete with its unique cover display design – in a case on a wooden table. 

There isn't too much we can gleam from the image in terms of specs or features. The file-shaped cover display is shown off, along with the dual rear camera setup. However, we've already heard a fair amount about the device thanks to a series of leaks and rumours.

We wont have to wait long for a proper look, either. With the next Samsung event scheduled to take place at the end of July, we're only a few weeks away from the grand unveiling. Expect to see more leaks and rumours in the run-up, too.
