Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5: Design, Features, Performance, And More!

Here’s all you need to get excited about the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5. 

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 is the newest generation of Samsung’s flip-format smartphone. With a more prominent outer display, a redesigned hinge, and a better processor, the new foldable is expected to compete with recent products from Oppo and Motorola.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5: Design

It will resemble the Flip 4 in terms of design largely. It has been upgraded to a 3.4-inch Super AMOLED 60Hz screen. It features a resolution of 720 x 748 and a pixel density of 306 PPI.

The Galaxy Z Flip 5 is available in Graphite, Cream, Mint, and Lavender. This bigger cover screen displays your clock and alerts more clearly and allows you to use widgets for numerous Samsung, Google, and third-party apps.

Many activities will still need you to open the phone, but the widgets let you accomplish more than ever without opening the Z Flip 5.

In addition, the hinge that allows the Z Flip to flip is slimmer and incorporates a waterdrop design, allowing the phone to fold up tighter.

Aside from the hinge, Samsung has upgraded the front and rear panels to the newest Gorilla Glass Victus 2 toughened glass and the inner display to a more rigid ultra-thin glass (UTG) layer.

These join the Armour Aluminium frame and IPX8 water resistance. Unfortunately, there is no official dust protection rating for Samsung’s new foldable.

Price and Availability

On July 26, Samsung introduced the Galaxy Z Flip 5 at its Galaxy Unpacked launch event. 

Anticipate them to be rather expensive because they are among the greatest foldable. The Galaxy Z Flip 5 starts at $999.99 for the base model and goes up to $1,099.99 if you want to double the storage space.

The Galaxy Z Flip 5 will be available for pre-order on July 26 but will not arrive until August 11.

Camera and Battery Features

The photographic package on the Galaxy Z Flip 5 is the same as on the Galaxy Z Flip 4: a 12MP primary camera and an ultrawide camera with 12MP on the rear of the device, with a 10MP front camera on the other side.

However, all the cameras are technically selfie cameras since the expanded cover display’s preview window makes it much simpler to capture selfies with the main or ultrawide sensors, adjust between standard and warm color tones, and like or delete images as you take them.

With wireless charging and 25W wired rates, the battery is a 3,700mAh one that almost equals the quality of the Galaxy Z Flip 4 – no upgrade here.

Performance

The Samsung Galaxy Flip 5 is powered by the anticipated Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy. Prepare for top-tier performance and a battery that lasts a long time. It is available in both 256GB as well as 512GB of storage.

 In any case, you get 8GB of RAM, which your programs will appreciate. If you need more RAM or storage, the top Samsung phones offer much more.

There are the usual frills. Rapid charging up to 25W and fast wireless charging are available. It includes Android 13 with One UI 5.1.1, and Samsung promises to keep it updated for five years with security upgrades and four years with software upgrades.

Verdict

The Galaxy Z Flip 5 has several enhancements and is shaping to be a good upgrade over the previous iteration.

It doesn’t shift the needle in the clamshell folding area, but Samsung has done sufficiently to position it as a viable competitor to the expanding competition.

It’s also worth noting that Samsung managed to keep the Galaxy Z Flip 5’s starting price at $1,000.
