Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5 Specifications

Galaxy Z Flip5 Design and Display

Samsung has established a distinct visual identity for their flip phones. It is easy to differentiate Flip 5 from other flip phones due to its all-gloss, flat design. Only the edges of the frame and display have a distinct circular curve, resulting in a contemporary, material design aesthetic.

The Samsung galaxy z flip 5 is equipped with a full-screen display that is 6.72 inches in size and has a full-HD+ (1,920 x 1,080 pixels) AMOLED screen with a 386ppi pixel density. The screen has a 2400 x 1080 pixel resolution and is protected by Corning Gorman Glass 5. The Galaxy Z Flip5 smartphone has a secondary screen that is placed on the top clamshell of the phone. The phone also has a built-in fingerprint sensor and a face unlock feature for security.

This foldable retains its ability to absorb fingerprints and grease at the same rate as before, however, this is a cost that must be taken into consideration when making a purchase. The only alteration to this foldable is that it is now easier to read in direct sunlight.

Galaxy Z Flip5 Cameras

The latest flagship smartphone is equipped with a dual camera system, featuring a primary sensor of 12MP and a secondary lens of 12MP, as well as a front-facing shooter of 10MP for selfies and video conferencing.

The difference is immediately apparent in night photography, where the ultrawide camera is not only the primary camera but also shines. The contrast in the photos is much higher than the images clicked by the Flip 4. Additionally, the processing is fast and efficient, with crisp and well-exposed images.

If you take low-light shots, you’ll notice some distortion around the corners. You’ll also need to make sure you protect the lenses on the Flip 5 because they’re really easy to scratch as they stick out of the camera. The camera will definitely highlight the greens, blues, and magentas in your photos, so if you’re someone who likes a more muted colour palette, it’ll take some getting used to. The 10MP ‘low-resolution’ front camera sensor is surprisingly good in both indoor and outdoor lighting.

Galaxy Z Flip5 Battery and Connectivity

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 is equipped with a battery capacity of 4,100mAh. Additionally, the device is equipped with USB Type-C charging support for fast charging. Connectivity options include 5G (5G VoLTE), Wi-Fi (Wi-Fi), Bluetooth 5.2 (Bluetooth 5.2), A-GPS (A-GPS), GLONASS (Glasses), dual-SIM, and more.The maximum screen-on time of the Flip 5 is five hours, which is a significant improvement over the previous generation, without any increase in battery capacity. Sticking to an always-on display significantly reduces the battery life of the Flip 5.

Galaxy Z Flip5 Performance

Qualcomm’s flagship processor, the QS 8 Gen 2, is the primary source of power for the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5. This chipset is composed of four cores, including the Cortex A510 CPU, the Cortex X3 CPU, the three cores A715 CPU, and the four cores A510 CPU. To further enhance the performance of the phone, it is equipped with an Adreno740 GPU. Additionally, the Galaxy device has a storage capacity of 12GB and 256GB, respectively.

Additionally, the device is powered by Android 13 and is equipped with the most up-to-date One UI interface. The software support is really good here. It’s a Samsung flagship, so you can count on your phone getting updated until at least Android 17, and then you’ll get monthly updates for the next 3 years. After that, you’ll get one security update every 3 months.
