Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 review
I will forever have a soft spot for the Galaxy Flip. It’s the device that made me believe that foldables could, indeed, be a viable path forward for the smartphone industry. Respect to the Fold for the tough path it blazed to become the first commercially viable entry, but the Flip flipped the...
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
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.

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?
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 review
The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 builds on the last-gen model with a serious of helpful upgrades. How much better is it?- Relatively durable, Great performance, Sleek design, Good interior display
- So-so camera, Battery is only fine
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 review
Samsung’s fifth version, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 comes from a decent line of the Galaxy Z series.
Samsung’s New Folding Phones No Longer Shine Quite as Bright
Samsung’s new folding phones are better than before, but now that competition among foldables has heated up, these Galaxies have less star power.- Refined folding phones. Improved cameras and displays. External display on the Flip5 is more useful. Long software-update policy.
- Expensive. Flip5’s external screen still has some restrictions, and battery life isn’t great. Fold5’s front screen is too narrow.
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 review
The Galaxy Z Flip 5 still feels somewhat like an experiment, in that the fact that the device folds up is the big selling point. So much so, that Samsung is a little lax on things like camera quality.- Relatively durable, Great performance, Sleek design, Good interior display
- So-so camera, Battery is only fine
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 5G (256GB, Graphite) Australian Stock - Excellent review
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
