Samsung FLIP 5

The latest generation of foldables from the Korean company advances cautiously, but the Flip feels like the more significant upgrade. This is largely because the clamshell model now features a much-needed cover screen enhancement, with the larger screen greatly improving usability (with some limitations). Another major development is the new hinge design, allowing the Flip5 to fold flat instead of forming an edge. That’s the main gist.

Yes, the Flip5 includes a new chipset, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, which is expected. The base storage has been doubled to 256GB, a very welcome improvement. There are minor tweaks in the camera system, but it remains largely the same. Similarly, the internal display may have received a brightness boost, but this is not a groundbreaking change.

However, expecting radical changes may be unrealistic, and the Z Flip5 introduces just the right amount of differences and improvements to make it a worthy successor. That’s what we’ll be exploring in the following sections.
