The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 (stylized as Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5, sold as Samsung Galaxy Flip 5 in certain territories) is an Android-based foldable smartphone that was announced by Samsung Electronics on July 26, 2023, alongside the Galaxy Z Fold 5, Galaxy Tab S9 and Galaxy Watch 6. Its unveiling marked the first time that the Galaxy Unpacked event was held in the company's home country of South Korea.[2][3][4][5] The phone was released on August 11, 2023.[6]

Design

[edit]

The device features a clamshell-style foldable design with a redesigned hinge that allows the device to close completely flat, reducing the visible gap when folded.[7] The exterior is constructed with an Armor Aluminum frame and protected by Gorilla Glass Victus 2 on both the cover screen and back panel. The device also carries an IPX8 rating for water resistance.[8]

It is available in multiple color options, including several online-exclusive variants:[9]

Specifications

[edit]

Display

[edit]

The Galaxy Z Flip 5 features a 6.7‑inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X main display with a resolution of 2640 × 1080 pixels (21:9 aspect ratio) and a pixel density of approximately 425 ppi. It supports a variable refresh rate from 1 to 120 Hz, enabling adaptive performance based on content type. The display also supports HDR10+ and is protected by Ultra Thin Glass (UTG).[10][11]

Cover Display and FlexMode

[edit]

For the first time in the Galaxy Z Flip series, the device's cover screen now features a 3.4-inch Super AMOLED display with a folder-like shape, upgraded from the rectangular-shaped 1.9-inch found on its predecessor, the Galaxy Z Flip 4.[12] The screen is protected by Gorilla Glass Victus 2.[13]

Alongside the upgraded cover screen, it also introduced several improvements optimized for the new cover screen. These include Flex Mode (which enables the device to stay partially folded at various stable angles, and the app's user interface automatically adjusts when supported),[14] Flex Cam (enhancing camera functionality for hands-free use, such as when the device is partially folded and placed on a flat surface to take selfies or record videos),[15] and support for widgets (and certain apps[16]) on cover screen without unfolding.[14]

Performance

[edit]

The device is equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy, which was first used on the Galaxy S23 series and also on the Galaxy Tab S9 series.[17] The device is only sold in 8 GB of RAM, and storage options either in 256 GB or 512 GB (both with UFS 4.0[18]), being the first Z Flip device to drop the 128 GB option (which was last offered on the Galaxy Z Flip 4).[19]

Battery

[edit]

Just like its predecessor, it has a 3,700 mAh dual-cell battery. It also supports 25W fast wired charging and 15W wireless charging.[20]

Camera

[edit]

Also similar to its predecessor, it inherited the same dual camera setup, consisting of 12 MP wide angle sensor and a 12 MP ultra-wide camera sensor. Camera features include LED flash, HDR, and panorama.[21] On the front, the main display includes a 10 MP front-facing selfie camera.[22]

The device supports camera functionality through the external cover display. Using the Flex Window interface, users can preview shots, take selfies with the rear camera, and access selected camera features without opening the device. The Flex Mode enables hands-free shooting by positioning the phone at different angles.[23]

Software

[edit]

The Galaxy Z Flip 5 was released with Android 13 and One UI 5.1.1. The software includes features designed for foldable use cases, such as Flex Mode support and cover screen interactions through the Flex Window interface. Alongside the Galaxy Z Fold 5, Galaxy S23 and Galaxy Tab S9 series, they are the last Samsung flagships to support 32-bit applications[24] and are set to receive 4 OS upgrades and 5 years of security updates (support ending within 2028).[25] It also marks the last time these devices will receive this level of support, as its successors all had 7 years of support.[26]
