Abstract: The launch of the Samsung Galaxy Flip in 2020 might be seen by many as the start of the flip phone revolution. It almost was, if it wasn't for the revamped Motorola Razr that surfaced in 2019. Jump to 2023 and there's still a tussle between Motorola - whi...
Gorgeous and sturdy build,Brilliant performance,Super useful outer display
Battery backup is average,Slow charging,Crease on display is still very prominent
So that was my detailed review of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5. This, by all means, is the most refined flip smartphone in the market right now. Samsung's new approach towards this form factor has worked extremely well for the brand. Yes, we saw a similar...
Good, Vibrant displays, folding display is durable, Compact design when folded, Top-tier performance, Fast wireless charging for a foldable, Water-resistant design, Good quality primary camera
Cover screen functionality is limited, Battery barely lasts a day, Relatively slow wired charging, No macro camera
Overall, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 manages better image and video capability than the Motorola Razr 40 Ultra. But neither should be purchased for this reason alone as both are quite average compared to the competition. If you seek good camera and video...
Abstract: Samsung's Galaxy Z Flip 4 was a big upgrade over the Galaxy Z Flip 3. It managed to turn, what was a more fashion-forward foldable, into a very useful and practical smartphone with major improvements to its cameras and battery life. With the new Galaxy Z...
The Flex Window Display is really it, about darn time,Improved Hinge and Gapless finish,Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 Experience for 2023,RM 100 increase from its previous Z Flip 4 pricing makes it pretty justifiable
Rest of the phone remains to be the same with little improvements from the Z Flip 4,That 25W Fast Charging gets to you at some point,Still no DeX support to be seen for the Z Flip Series
It takes every two generations for Samsung to improve its foldable. It's kind of like Apple's strategy, we see granular improvements for 2-3 generations, and then we finally get a significant refresh and then it repeats again. Samsung is following the sam...
Practically gapless design, Improved Flex hinge, IPX8, Strong performance, Much larger outer display with Flex Window, Excellent main display, Great cameras, enhanced even further with Flex Mode, Battery life has improved
Charging speed could be better, A bigger battery would bring even more significant improvements, Throttles quite a bit with heavier games, Can't run all apps on Flex Window unless you use a workaround, No Samsung DeX support
On an overall level, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5 has all the necessary ingredients to be a reliable daily driver, and then some...
Abstract: While doing our usual tests to gather data, I realized that this phone has a lot more upgrades that Samsung didn't even mention. I'm going to share all of them with you here today.Let's start with the obvious – the new Flex Window. As mentioned by cou...
