Samsung has taken the wraps off its highly anticipated foldable flip phone, the Galaxy Z Flip5, introducing a series of remarkable upgrades compared to its predecessor, the Galaxy Z Flip4. Among the standout enhancements, the most significant lies in the expanded size of its cover screen!
The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5 now boasts a 3.4-inch Flex Window cover screen, elegantly occupying a substantial portion of the smartphone’s upper surface. This uniquely asymmetrical design not only provides ample space for its dual cameras but also delivers a seamless user experience. In contrast, the cover screen of the Galaxy Z Flip4 measured a mere 1.9 inches.
Continuing the trend of improvements, the Galaxy Z Flip5’s hinge mechanism has undergone a makeover. The newly incorporated Flex Hinge ensures a tighter closure of the screen, leaving no gaps near the hinge area. Certified by Bureau Veritas for up to an astounding 200,000 open-close cycles, the durability of the Flex Hinge is undoubtedly top-notch.
The Galaxy Z Flip5 has also succeeded in reducing its thickness by approximately 2mm when folded, a welcome addition for increased portability. Remarkably, the device maintains its weight at around 187 grams, identical to its predecessor, the Galaxy Z Flip4.
Now, let’s delve into the specifications of this innovative device. As mentioned earlier, the Galaxy Z Flip5’s cover screen spans 3.4 inches, adopting Super AMOLED technology with a resolution of 720 x 748 pixels and a refresh rate of 60Hz. In a notable first for the Z Flip Series, this cover screen supports HBM, ensuring a peak brightness of up to 1600 nits, further protected by the robust Gorilla Glass Victus 2.
Meanwhile, the primary inner display remains unchanged from its predecessor, featuring a 6.7-inch Foldable Dynamic AMOLED 2x panel with a resolution of 2640 x 1080 pixels and a versatile refresh rate ranging from 1 Hz to 120 Hz.
As for its camera capabilities, the Galaxy Z Flip5 sports dual cameras on the back, including a 12MP Wide Camera and a 12MP Ultra Wide Camera. On the front, within the main display, a 10MP selfie camera with a punch-hole design beautifully captures your precious moments. The camera specifications retain their excellence, maintaining the Z Flip Series’ reputation for stellar photography.
Powering the Galaxy Z Flip5 is the powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset for Galaxy, drawing similarities to the acclaimed Galaxy S23 Series. Coupled with two variants of RAM and storage options – 8 GB/256 GB and 8 GB/512 GB – this device effortlessly handles multitasking and storage demands. The device houses a robust 3,700mAh battery with 25W charging capabilities, complemented by Fast Wireless Charging 2.0 and Wireless Power Share features.
Regarding connectivity, the Galaxy Z Flip5 excels with its 5G support, Wi-Fi 6E compatibility, and Bluetooth 5.3. While it accommodates a single tray for a Nano SIM, users can still utilize Dual SIM functionality with eSIM. Additionally, the Galaxy Z Flip5 proudly holds an IPX8 certification, rendering it impressively water-resistant.
With the Galaxy Z Flip5’s extraordinary advancements, Samsung once again demonstrates its commitment to pushing the boundaries of foldable phone technology, providing users with an unparalleled mobile experience.
