The time is finally here, and Samsung has decided to unveil the Galaxy Z Flip 5 at Galaxy Unpacked today. Now is the time when the company puts all the rumors to rest as we have got full coverage on what the latest clamshell foldable brings to the table, and if you have been looking to upgrade, now is the right time because Samsung has really improved the latest device to provide you with a better experience.
The Galaxy Z Flip 5 is one of the best foldable phones you can pick up right now
Let's get the obvious out of the way as the latest Galaxy Z Flip 5 ships with Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy. This is the same overclocked version found in the Galaxy S23 series. You are getting 8gigs of RAM, and powering the device is a 3,700 mAh battery that Samsung claims will give you up to two days of usage, which is definitely something a lot of users would want to go for.
Now, for the Galaxy Z Flip 5, the show's star happens to be the latest Flex Window, this is the name Samsung has given the cover screen, and it's massive. The screen spans 3.4 inches, covering almost half of the upper frame. As expected, you will be able to use a full-screen keyboard, you will also be able to customize the Flex Window based on your requirements, and there will be a lot of widgets too.
Everything ranging from a media player, weather, calendar, alarms, steps, recent calls, dialer, routines, Google Finance, and more will be available straight to your Flex Window without actually having to open the phone. The screen can even be used for selfies, which would allow you to unfold the phone into Flex Mode and use the camera on your phone. You can even connect your device with the Galaxy Watch 6 for a better overall experience.
On the inside, the Galaxy Z Flip 5 brings a 6.7-inch display with a 120Hz refresh rate, so if you are looking to enjoy the content at a better refresh rate, you can always unfold the phone and get started without any issues whatsoever. For the cameras, you are looking at a 10-megapixel selfie camera, with a 12-megapixel ultra-wide and a 12-megapixel standard camera.
Foldable phones have already suffered from average to poor durability, but the good news is that Samsung has improved it all thanks to some new additions. The Galaxy Z Flip 5 is equipped with an Armor Aluminum Frame for better protection of the overall device. The new Flex Hinge is the star of the show since you are getting a new hinge design that ensures that the phone is perfectly folded flat, this hinge mechanism is also known as the waterdrop hinge that we have seen on other devices, and you are also getting water-resistant. Sadly, there is no dust protection, so you must be careful.
The Galaxy Z Flip 5 is going on preorder starting today and will be available in Graphite, Mint, Lavender, and Cream. The phone will be available in either an 8/256GB configuration or an 8/512GB configuration. Availability will start from August 11, next month.
