Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5 Expert Review Summary
Expert Rating:
8.0/10

Verdict
With the Galaxy Z Flip 5, Samsung offers you a cover screen that is actually usable, although not all apps are worth using. The new hinge allows the phone to fold flat, enhancing the overall design even more than before. The snappy chipset and dependable cameras round out a nearly complete package.
Pros
- Large, usable cover screen
- New hinge removes gap
- Excellent cameras
- Good software experience
Cons
- Not all apps work well on cover screen
- App transition between screen not seamless
- Average battery life
Cover screen
+
Let's talk about the biggest, most noticeable upgrade on the Galaxy Z Flip 5: the cover screen. It is now a 3.4-inch Super AMOLED screen as compared to the 1.9-inch screen on the Z Flip 4 and the Z Flip 3. This is a much-needed upgrade and instantly makes the cover screen a lot more attractive and useful. While the screen isn't a perfect square (there's an awkward cutout for the cameras), it still manages to cover a good portion of the exterior top half.

Main screen
+
Unfolding the Galaxy Z Flip 5 reveals a familiar 6.7-inch Dynamic AMOLED display that supports FHD+ resolution and up to 120Hz refresh rate. It's an edge-to-edge screen with only the border acting as bezels. It's a vibrant and sharp display, in case you were wondering. The main screen's 22:9 tall aspect ratio makes it less useful for consuming entertainment as you'll see thick black bars on either side. It's a nice screen for any app that requires you to scroll.

Design
+
The overall form factor and foldable shape aren't all that different from its predecessor. Samsung has improved the hinge design in a way that the phone closes flat without showing any visible gap where the two halves meet. To recall, the Galaxy Z Flip 4 and older versions had a noticeable gap, which made it easier for dust to enter. The Galaxy Z Flip 5 is IPX8 rated, which means you can immerse it in water when you go swimming but try not to drop it in the sand when you're on a desert safari!

Cameras
+
The cameras on the Galaxy Z Flip 5 are actually impressive. There are two 12MP sensors on the cover screen, one for regular 1x photos and the other for wide-angle shots. The primary camera manages to capture lively photos in daylight, offering pleasing colours and good dynamic range. I was quite happy with low-light shots as well, with the camera offering just the right amount of brightness and contrast to make nightlife scenes look vibrant. The wide-angle lens doesn't drastically change the colour scheme of a wide-angle scene, bringing some consistency between the two lenses. That said, you won't get the best detailing when you zoom in on wide-angle shots.

Performance and software
+
A new flagship phone means a new chipset, and the Galaxy Z Flip 5 features the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. Rest assured that this chipset delivers snappy performance no matter what tasks you throw at it. However, I don't see the Galaxy Z Flip 5 being used for intensive gaming or heavy workloads of any kind. It's simply not designed for that purpose. But even if you do use it for said purposes, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 will not disappoint.

Battery life
+
Samsung has upgraded a lot of things about the Galaxy Z Flip 5, but the battery isn't one of them. You get the same 3,700mAh battery that was present in the Flip 4 as well. It is good enough to take you through a full day with regular usage, but not more than that. You should be able to get anywhere between 4 to 4.5 hours of screen time. If you're upgrading from the Galaxy Z Flip 4, you might notice some improvement in the battery life thanks to the power-efficient processor.
