Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 review
With a larger cover display, boosted performance and new fold-friendly features, the Galaxy Z Flip 5 has seriously kicked things up a notch- Large cover display, Thinner and lighter than Z Flip 4, Improved performance
- No 128GB model, Prominent crease in flexible display, Same cameras as Z Flip 4
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
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.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 review
Samsung's flip phone finally gets a bigger cover screen, making that $1,000 price easier to swallow.Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 review
The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5 features welcome upgrades that elevate it to be the premier mainstream foldable phone for 2023. With a redesigned gapless hinge, a large cover display as well as a beefy Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy chipset, this is the de facto mainstream foldable phone to buy.- New hinge lets it fold flat with no gap, Excellent performance with chipset, Larger and more versatile cover display, Improved camera performance especially in night mode
- Tinkering needed to launch apps beyond the limited selection on the Cover display, No DeX mode, Not cheap

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 is a big improvement on the Z Flip 4 with a larger cover display, improved performance and a gapless fold, but with increased competition in 2023, it’s not quite as tempting an option as it once was.- Premium look with no gap when folded, Powerful Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy chipset, Much more useful 3.4-inch cover display, You want a foldable that doesn’t compromise on power: The custom Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy is incredibly powerful, delivering some of the best benchmarks we’ve seen from...
- Same 12MP cameras as Z Flip 4, Middling battery life, even for a foldable, Cover display software is surprisingly limited, You want a foldable with great cameras: The dual 12MP lenses are fine in well-lit conditions, but they don’t quite hold up in low-light scenarios – even compared to the best...
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
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 review
With the Galaxy Z Flip 5, Samsung has debuted a new larger cover display which makes it easier to handle notifications, check the weather, control media and more, without opening the phone.- Huge Cover Screen is a welcome addition, Still one of the few foldables rated at IPX8 for water resistance, Good battery life, Great software support from Samsung, Good camera, but a step down from other flagships, New hinge allows it to fold flat, no gap, Base storage doubled to 256GB
- Not all apps run on the Flex Window, The crease is still fairly large, Still no telephoto camera
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
