Samsung Galaxy Unpacked event has just concluded and Samsung has introduced the world to the next chapter in its foldables saga. After looking at these new handsets, it won't be wrong to say that Samsung seems ready to leave the competition in the dust as the newly launched Galaxy Z Flip5 and Galaxy Z Fold5 represent an evolution in the design blueprints followed by their industry-leading predecessors, somehow bringing even more innovation into the mix. However, these new handsets do not deviate from their core principles of providing users with brand-new experiences thanks to their unique form factor. As we gear up for the sale of these ultimate flagship smartphones, let us take you through what makes them the design marvels that they are.
The new and bigger cover screen goes incredibly well with the balanced grid design of the phone. At 3.4 inches, it's 278 percent larger than the 1.9-inch Cover Screen of its predecessor. And the new software experience on this Flex Window brings a new paradigm for self-expression. You can complete the most essential of your daily tasks without even opening the flap of the handset. That's because Flex Window doesn't just support widgets but also allows you to open apps. Moreover, there's even third-party app support, so we can't wait to see what the developers come up with.
Competing with Samsung in the design department is almost a futile task for other manufacturers. Just like every year, Samsung has blessed its new handsets with exceptional craftsmanship that beautifully marries looks with usability. The first thing you will notice about the Galaxy Z Flip5 is that it's visibly more compact than its predecessor. So compact, in fact, that it fits even more easily in your pocket than its predecessor, which says a lot about it. Samsung has done incredibly well to shave off the chunks and make the device extremely pocket-friendly. This is all thanks to its new Flex Hinge design that takes its thickness down to 15.1mm from 17.1mm.
Charm is exuded by every corner of the Galaxy Z Flip5 and that's not just thanks to its elegant design cues but also due to the alluring new colours Samsung has blessed it with. The Mint, Graphite, Cream, and Lavender colour options are the perfect choices to attract Gen Z audiences who are always on the lookout for gadgets that can act as extensions of their unique personalities. Owning the Galaxy Z Flip5 is surely going to be a fashion statement on its own.
Samsung's foldables have truly revolutionised the smartphone photography experience. With their agile angles and high-end cameras, it's a delight to capture photos and videos in myriad new ways on these devices. And it's thanks to this that selfies need not be frustrating to capture as they can easily be captured in the best quality possible using the rear cameras of the phones. This means, even low-light and night-time selfies will come out looking stunning. The Galaxy Z Flip5 features a Pro-grade main sensor which allows it to capture up to 3x more light compared to leading flagship smartphones. In addition to this, it leverages enhanced AI solutions to reduce noise giving you clearest possible pictures & adaptive VDIS that enables more stable videos.
And then there's FlexCam, Samsung's versatile and hands-free camera experience. It allows users to make the most of the various angles that the Galaxy Z Flip5 can stay steady at to capture group shots, selfies, and videos from mind-blowing perspectives. No matter how far away you are, you can freely shoot any composition thanks to FlexCam.
The Galaxy Z Flip5 has also been blessed with great zooming capabilities this time around. Users can take advantage of up to 10x digital zoom to get incredibly close to their subjects without moving an inch. There are upgrades in the video department as well. While daylight videos are as stunning as ever before, the new Night Videography trait blends the power of AI Enhanced Noise Reduction (Dedicated ISP & VIULL) and Adaptive VDIS to render dazzling night-time footage that's both highly detailed and incredibly steady. There's tremendous versatility to the leading-edge camera tech onboard this phone.
And those fond of portraits can also rejoice since the Galaxy Z Flip5 lets you capture DSLR-like portraits with its AI Stereo depth feature. This trait expertly gives your subjects a clear and natural outline while separating them from the background. Additionally, it gives a gradual blur to the background, adding another touch of authenticity. The result is studio-quality portraits that can be spruced up further with various stunning lighting effects.
Thanks to its focus on maximum productivity, the Galaxy Z Fold5 allows you to get things done quickly without flipping back and forth between apps. Combined with the S Pen, the phone offers an ultra-slick user experience. And this new S Pen happens to be a good 41 percent slimmer than its predecessor. Additionally, even carrying the phone around is a lot easier since the special S Pen case that you can get with it is 27 percent slimmer this time around.
The advanced toolbar at the bottom of the Inner Screen is also a hugely impressive feature of the Galaxy Z Fold5, as it allows you to seamlessly focus on what you need without steering you away from what you're doing. You can customize the list of apps you wish to keep on the toolbar and even decide the order in which they appear. Further enhancing the multitasking experience of the Galaxy Z Fold5 is the Pop-up View feature that lets you open apps in the form of pop-up windows that you can drag and resize as you perform other tasks on the rest of the Inner Screen. These floating pop-ups really allow you to streamline your multitasking on the device. Further, the drag and drop functionality is easier than ever and allows you to move items effortlessly.
And then there's the unparalleled productivity that comes from the OneUI and the Galaxy Ecosystem that allows Galaxy devices to team up easily to help you do the things you love better than ever. Take for instance the Samsung Apps Continuity feature that allows you to seamlessly take calls, send and receive messages, quick-transfer files, stream audio, and much more, no matter what Galaxy Ecosystem device you're using.
