Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5 Hands-On: Pre-order Offer and Release Date

Samsung has unveiled the all-new Galaxy ZFlip5, a device that boasts numerous positive changes to enhance the user experience. Notable upgrades include a larger external screen, a new hinge that allows for complete flat-folding and software improvements to cater to user needs.

External display with significant improvement

The most significant improvement lies in the external display, which has been greatly enhanced compared to Galaxy Z Flip4 (Hands-On). Measuring 3.4 inches, the Super AMOLED Flex Window provides a wider and clearer view. The rear camera cluster’s horizontal rotation ensures maximum utilization of the external screen.

This enhanced external screen offers a more viewable live view interface for taking photos with the rear camera. The device’s operation with this screen is also more natural and comfortable. Additionally, the Galaxy ZFlip5 supports swipe gestures, as well as zoom-in/out multitasking operations.

Alongside the large external screen, Samsung has optimized the software to provide a smooth experience when using the device. Users can do more on the external screen, such as replying to messages with a miniature QWERTY keyboard and viewing content from third-party applications like YouTube and Netflix.

The new Flex hinge gives a compact look

The new hinge design called the Flex hinge, allows the Galaxy Z Flip5 to fold completely flat, eliminating the middle gap found in previous Galaxy Z devices. This results in a thinner and more elegant appearance when folded. The device retains its characteristic design, featuring a Dynamic AMOLED 2X, 6.7-inch FHD+ main screen with a 120Hz frequency and an in-screen selfie camera.

The Galaxy ZFlip5 offers a beautiful design with an additional mint green color, alongside black and purple options. It is powered by a Snapdragon 8 Gen2 (4nm) chip, tailored by Qualcomm for high-end Galaxy devices. With its powerful configuration, including 256GB of internal memory and a 3,700mAh battery with 25W fast charging, the device can handle daily tasks and gaming with ease.

The Galaxy Z Flip5 also boasts impressive camera capabilities, featuring a 12MP main camera with f/1.8 aperture and OIS optical stabilization, a 12MP ultra-wide-angle camera with f/2.2 aperture, and a 10MP selfie camera.

In conclusion, the Galaxy Z Flip5 presents valuable and worthwhile changes, making it a compelling choice for those considering an upgrade. Its larger external screen, flat-folding design, and powerful configuration cater to users’ needs and preferences.
