SAMSUNG GALAXY Z FLIP 5. Released just a few weeks ago, Samsung’s new foldable phone is already enjoying excellent promotions with nearly 200 euros less on its base price.
The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 has been available since August 11. Samsung surprised its community by unveiling its new foldable smartphone with a much larger external screen than on previous generations. An important decision when we know that the competition has become more and more aggressive in the segment of foldable smartphones in recent years.
The release of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5, however, comes with an unpleasant surprise: its price. As a result of inflation or the new external screen, the Z Flip 5 comes at a higher price than its predecessors. Fortunately for consumers, it is already possible to find excellent promotions. The best price of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 seems in particular to be on the side of Rakuten.
The new Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 is officially available since August 11 in four colors: graphite, cream, lavender and water green. Find out what’s new in the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 with its new design, performance, price and availability.
The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 gets several new additions. First of all, the biggest novelties of the smartphone are in its design and its processor. Samsung intends to continue to offer a foldable phone that can compete with its new competitors.
Samsung was eagerly awaited on the external screen of the Galaxy Z Flip 5. After the arrival of very promising competitors like Oppo or Motorola who now offer larger external screens, Samsung had to review its famous foldable smartphone in clamshell format. It is therefore done since the external screen of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 is equipped with a 3.4-inch Super AMOLED panel which sits right next to the two photo modules of the device.
Who says new generation of smartphone says new processor. The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 is no exception and is equipped with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip (the latest processor from Qualcomm) to deliver high performance in your applications and games. Widely acclaimed by a wide range of manufacturers, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 has already proven itself in the past (especially in the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra) thanks to its excellent performance.
Like previous generations, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 has two photo sensors on the back of the device (a main lens and an ultra wide-angle). The latter each have 12 Mpx to take pretty everyday shots and will benefit from all the algorithmic processing of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor to improve their quality.
The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 also has a 10MP selfie camera so you can take photos even when the smartphone is unfolded.
The battery of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 does not change this year and continues to have 3700 mAh. The smartphone still has wired charging up to 25W and compatibility with wireless charging up to 10W. However, we will have to test the efficiency of the new Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor and its impact on the battery given the performance of the latter on previous smartphones released this year (including the S23 Ultra which has excellent autonomy!).
The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 is officially available for sale online and in stores since Friday, August 11, 2023. This release date was not very surprising. Samsung had notably announced its Galaxy Z Flip 3 and 4 at the beginning of August 2021 and 2022. We therefore see that the firm generally launches its foldable phones in the middle of summer.
The rumors were well founded: the price of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 is up from previous generations. The two models available (256 and 512 GB) see their prices go up by several tens of euros on approved sales sites. The new prices for the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 are as follows:
The recent release of Samsung’s latest foldable smartphone also impacts the previous version. The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 is now enjoying great promotions. It is currently available from several merchants at a reduced price on our dedicated Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 article.
