New Design and Larger Cover Screen
The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5, upgraded for 2023, is the latest iteration in Samsung’s foldable lineup, featuring a new gapless design and a significantly larger outer screen. The phone now folds down to the size of a Post-it note and sports a 3.4-inch cover display that nearly fills the front when closed, allowing users to reply to messages, check notifications, and access apps like Google Maps and WhatsApp without unfolding the phone.
Performance and Specifications
Powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor, the Galaxy Z Flip 5 maintains 8GB RAM and storage options of 256GB and 512GB. The main display is a 6.7-inch AMOLED with a 120Hz refresh rate, while the cover display operates at 60Hz. The hinge redesign eliminates the previous model’s wedge-shaped gap, giving the phone a sleeker and more polished look.
Camera and Battery Features
The Flip 5 retains the same camera setup as its predecessor, with a 12MP ultrawide and a 12MP main lens, enhanced by software features that leverage the larger cover display. Despite the unchanged 3,700mAh battery, the device offers reliable all-day performance.
Pricing and Availability
The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 is available in mint, lavender, graphite, and cream, with additional colors available online. Starting at £1,049 for the 256GB model, the price marks a £50 increase from the previous version, pushing the device into four-figure territory for the first time. This model is best suited for those looking to upgrade from older foldable or make the switch to a flip phone for the first time.
