When it comes to foldable smartphones, there is absolutely no competition for Samsung’s Galaxy Z devices. Despite this, the South Korean giant continues to bring innovations to the handsets each year, continuously making a stronger case for their adoption by enthusiastic smartphone buyers. This year, the Galaxy Z Fold5 and Galaxy Z Flip5 arrived with enhanced display protection, improved hinge design, tougher outer build, and IPX8 water resistance. These durability features add a new dimension to these phones’ selling propositions.
Let us take you through everything that makes these foldable handsets worthy of your daily usage, without worrying about wear and tear.
- Certified by Bureau Veritas for 2 lakh folds
The prized positions of both these phones are their Dynamic AMOLED 2X displays, so it’s natural that there’s heavy safeguarding around them. They have been designed to ensure that you can use fold and unfold their displays all day long. It is not a surprise then that Bureau Veritas has rated the Galaxy Z Fold5 and Galaxy Z Flip5 to easily survive 2 lakh folds over their lifetimes. In case you have not been able to quantify that number, it means that the phones can unfold more than 100 times a day, over the next five years at least.
- Groundbreaking Flex hinge & dual rail hinge structure
A significant difference between this year’s Galaxy Z handsets and their predecessors is the zero-gap profile they exude when closed. This zero-gap flex hinge adds an extra layer of beauty to their profiles while making the device lighter and slimmer. This is an integrated hinge module featuring a dual rail structure that diffuses any small external impacts that may befall your Galaxy Z handset. The smoother movement granted by this flex hinge contributes to enhancing the overall user experience and pushes the limits of what foldable phones can accomplish.
Moreover, the state-of-the-art hinge also ensures that the phones help in clicking amazing photos. The FlexCam feature of Galaxy Z Flip5 allows you to click extreme angles easily, which would not have been possible with a flat phone. This is possible with the flex mode that gets activated when the free-standing angles of the device are from 75 to 115 degrees to click stunning hands-free shots.
- Protected by Armor Aluminium & Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2
Enhancing the durability of Galaxy Z Fold5 is the latest Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2 that is present on its gorgeous 7.6-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X cover screen display. Additionally, the same protection can also be found on the device’s rear surface, safeguarding from falls and scratches.
The Galaxy Z Flip5 that boasts of being the most pocketable self-expression tool also comes with the Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2 protection. It can be found on the top and bottom of its rear surface, giving robust safeguarding to its 3.4-inch Super AMOLED Flex Window display. This upgraded glass is ideal for protecting the phone from drops on rough surfaces.
Further, Samsung has made use of Armor Aluminum for constructing the frames of these Galaxy Z smartphones.
- IPX8 water resistance
The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5 and Z Flip5 also hold the distinction of being the world’s first water-resistant foldable smartphones. Their IPX8 rating means they should be able to handle being submerged in 1.5 metres of water for up to 30 minutes. Such worry-free usage gives them a unique appeal and proves yet again that Samsung has done incredibly well in enhancing the durability of its new foldable smartphones.
- Sustained performance with vapour cooling chamber
The Z Fold5 comes with a bigger vapour cooling chamber compared to its predecessor. This allows the device to offer sustained performance over hours of usage and ensures there’s no heating when playing graphically demanding games. While we’re speaking of performance, you get plenty of it on both the Galaxy Z Fold5 and Z Flip5 as they tout a flagship & custom-made 4nm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset.
