The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 comes with a 3.4-inch cover screen that’s much bigger than its predecessor’s. It’s no longer just a party trick — with helpful widgets and full apps if you’re adventurous, it’s a powerful tool.

Samsung’s flip phone doesn’t break the mould for its fifth generation, still squeezing a big-screen smartphone into a much more compact folded form. But a collection of small, meaningful changes remove more of the compromises of the still-developing tech, making it feel like a more mature product.

Despite being the most refined expression of Samsung’s clamshell foldable to date, the Z Flip 5 also marks the first time it's felt as though Samsung has had to play catch-up in a category it has, for the longest time, defined. But catch up it has, and now that it’s addressed one of the biggest shortcomings of its predecessors – its folded form factor – it marks a leap in functionality for the series, and offers the best performance and software support in its field, while still leaving door open for further improvement in areas like cameras and, yes, even design.

The collective improvements may not be a giant leap for foldables, but they're enough to propel the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 back into the conversation with its longer battery life, more usable Flex Window and outstanding cameras.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 is on one hand an iterative update - no real change to the main display, the cameras, or battery, a slight bump in the power on offer, while the design overall remains pretty much the same. But the exterior display changes the entire experience. It's a lot more useful than the small screen on the Flip 4 and that has instant appeal. The fact that the Z Flip 5 also folds flat with no gap makes for a much more seamless and considered design, showing just how far this pocketable delight has come since it first launched.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 is a fun folding flip phone that breaks the monotony of glass slab smartphones and is a great choice if you want a smaller phone in your pocket. But there are several compromises here, from the outer screen to battery life to camera quality.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 is a big improvement on the Z Flip 4 with a larger cover display, improved performance and a gapless fold, but with increased competition in 2023, it’s not quite as tempting an option as it once was.

Con una nueva mecánica, una gran pantalla y un sistema fluido, el Flip de este año da en el clavo, aunque eso signifique que tengamos que pagar más. Si Samsung hubiera arriesgado más, permitiendo que más aplicaciones utilizaran la gran pantalla exterior, podría haber obtenido matrícula de honor. Las grandes mejoras de este año están en el

Avec une nouvelle mécanique, un grand écran et un système fluide, le Flip de cette année fait mouche, même si l’augmentation du prix se fait sentir. Si Samsung avait été plus téméraire et avait permis à plus d’applications d’utiliser le grand écran extérieur, le Flip5 aurait pu obtenir la note maximale. Mais presque tout ce qui pourrait être amélioré se trouve dans le logiciel, il y a donc de l’espoir pour l’avenir.

With a 5.4-inch screen, this is the most modern experience you'll get with a compact iPhone. And because we're talking about Apple, you can bet the iPhone 13 mini will last you a long time.
