Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5 and Fold5: The ultimate brew of form and functionality | 91mobiles.com

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.

Samsung Galaxy Flip5 – The best tool for self-expression

Innovative premium design – Fresh new look!

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.

And then there’s the bigger cover screen that 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.

Best selfies in your pocket

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.

Added durability – Put your mind at ease!

To alleviate user concerns about the device protection, Samsung has added crucial durability features to its foldable phones this year. The new additions make the Galaxy Z Flip5 stronger than any foldable smartphone out there, letting you confidently use it in any way you want. The Flex Window screen has been coated with Corning’s Gorilla Glass Victus 2 on both the front & the back, which features greatly improved drop performance on rough surfaces like concrete. As for the Inner Screen, it’s 25 percent stronger than its predecessor and its integrated hinge module is certified by Bureau Veritas for a whopping 2,00,000 folds.

Additionally, Samsung has used aircraft-grade Armor Aluminum for the construction of this phone’s frame and hinge. This material doesn’t just add new levels of durability but also reduces weight while offering resistance to scratches. Speaking about the new hinge, it now completely removes the U-shaped gap between the two halves of the phone in folded form. Lastly, Samsung has retained the IPX8 rating, granting the device protection against water splashes.

The past Galaxy Z Fold devices have offered an unparalleled immersive screen experience that revolutionised the way we interact with our devices. The Galaxy Z Fold5 takes a new step forward with its 7.6-inch display that’s equipped with cutting-edge foldable technology. This helps the phone seamlessly transition between a compact smartphone and a spacious tablet, providing users with a versatile and dynamic visual experience. The large and vivid AMOLED panel also comes with increased brightness. Its peak brightness of 1,750 nits does wonders for its outdoor visibility. Playing games or watching content during your travel hours is going to be a splendid experience.

This big screen is also ideal for gaming. The large surface takes immersion to the next level and the phone even features machine-learning algorithms that are meant to optimize the gaming experience. What is incredible is the phone’s gaming prowess fueled by its custom Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor. Its robust nature allows the device to offer an 18 percent increase in CPU power and a 24 percent rise in GPU power, compared to the Galaxy Z Fold4, and that alone is saying a lot.

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.

Spectacular design and high-level durability

The fresh design of the Galaxy Z Fold5 makes it an extremely slim yet aesthetically balanced handset. The new Flex Hinge enables a gap-less fold, giving it a flat look that’s complemented beautifully by its aligned edges.
