We’re only a few weeks away from the alleged launch date of the Galaxy Z Flip, and the leaks just keep coming. Today’s batch includes a bunch of small but interesting features that already make the Z Flip look like a worthy rival to the Motorola Razr.

Max Weinbach, who somehow hasn’t run out of things to say about the Z Flip despite all the leaks he’s already provided, revealed the following information in a new series of tweets. He’s proved pretty reliable in the past, sothere's a solid chance we'll see these specs on the final model.

Firstly, there will be a capacitive fingerprint sensor on the side of the Z Flip. This is what the Galaxy Fold used, and given the difficulty of implementing flexible displays as it is, we weren’t expecting Samsung to add in its ultrasonic fingerprint sensor.

The cameras will be a pair of 12MP sensors: one wide, the other ultra-wide. This matches other leaks, but if the second camera is meant to be the internal selfie camera, then we have a contradiction, as other rumors have said this will be the usual 10MP sensor Samsung uses for this purpose. 

If you would like a recap of everything we’ve heard about Samsung’s next foldable phone, then our Galaxy Z Flip rumors page has all the news and leaks that have been published so far.
