Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 review
Here we are, staring at the fifth generation of Samsung’s Galaxy Z series of foldables and still asking the same question: Are phones with flexible displays ready for the mainstream?
A half screen on the front makes Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5 double the fun to use
Samsung has put in a lot of thought into making the Flip form factor more usable. This time it has tackled the main pain point users have had over the years.
The Galaxy Z Flip 5 is the Tesla of smartphones
The Galaxy Z Flip 5 is naturally Samsung's best flip-style foldable to date, but other manufacturers are starting to best Samsung at is own game.- Larger Cover Display is great, Zero-gap hinge, Lovely design
- Subpar cameras, Shortish battery, Still has a prominent display crease
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5: Flips the script in style
The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5 may not be a smartphone revolution, but it's certainly an evolution worth applauding. With its sleeker design, smoother Flex Hinge, and an innovative Flex Window for real-time information at your fingertips, it's a quirky and practical folding phone.
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 (Review Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5)
A big, fun phone in a small, subtle package- Beautiful design and finish, Excellent performance, Sharp screens, Surprisingly rugged build
- Outer display functionality is limited by default, Poor app continuity between screens
Beyond the Hinge: Everything New with the Galaxy Z Flip 5 Review!
Samsung made the right move towards usability with the new Galaxy Z Flip 5. In a clamshell-type smartphone, the ability to fully capitalize on the compact form factor is definitely key to success. I tested the Z Flip 5, and here's why I believe this generation is worth the investment.- Truly useful cover display, Improved hinge mechanics, Balanced display image quality, Fluid software experience, Above-average camera quality
- Slightly larger crease in the display, Only average battery life, Charging time exceeds one hour, No charger included in the box
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 review
The Galaxy Z Flip5 and Z Fold5 run on Samsung's One UI 5.1.1 skin on top of Android 13. Although we much prefer Google and Moto’s simple, lightweight, and close-to-stock Android user experience, One UI 5.1.1 delivers a comprehensive set of features that cater to a broader range of users.
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 5G (256GB, Graphite) Australian Stock - Excellent review
The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 is on one hand an iterative update - no real change to the main display, the cameras, or battery, a slight bump in the power on offer, while the design overall remains pretty much the same. But the exterior display changes the entire experience.- Premium and improved design, Exterior display is excellent, Great performance, Brilliant battery life
- No optical zoom lens, Display durability could still be an issue, Charging could be faster
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 review
Samsung’s flip phone doesn’t break the mould for its fifth generation, still squeezing a big-screen smartphone into a much more compact folded form. But a collection of small, meaningful changes remove more of the compromises of the still-developing tech, making it feel like a more mature product.- Pros: a great large screen that folds in half, big cover screen, folds fully shut, IPX8 water-resistant, decent camera, good software with five years of updates, nano sim and esim, fun.
- Cons: less durable than a regular phone, no telephoto camera, battery life a day but short of best, expensive.
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 review
Can a colossal new cover screen make what was an already fab foldable even better?- Sublime design and capable cover screen, Flagship-tier performance, Streamlined software makes good use of flip form factor
- Cameras haven’t stepped up in a meaningful way, Battery life is just fine, and charging speeds could be better, No 128GB option means higher price barrier
