SAMSUNG GALAXY Z FLIP 5. Available for only a few weeks, the latest foldable smartphone from Samsung is already available at very attractive prices at Fnac or Rueducommerce.
Is the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 the best foldable smartphone around? In any case, this is what many specialist media report who were able to test the phone for several weeks. Its large external screen, its unusual format and its software capabilities make the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 an excellent choice for users who want to equip themselves with a foldable phone.
But the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 isn’t cheap. Its base price, set at €1199, is a barrier for many people. Fortunately, and as is often the case with the company’s phones, the Z Flip 5 saw its price drop in the space of a few weeks. It is now possible to find it for less than €900 on certain websites.
The new Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 has been officially available since August 11 in four colors: graphite, cream, lavender and sea green. Discover all the new features of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 with its new design, performance, price and availability.
The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 has several new additions. First of all, the biggest new features of the smartphone lie 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’s a done deal 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 device’s two photo modules.
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 (notably 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 nice daily photos 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 photographs 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 of up to 25W and compatibility with wireless charging of up to 10W. However, it will be necessary to test the efficiency of the new Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor and its impact on the battery in view of the latter’s performance on previous smartphones released this year (notably the S23 Ultra which has excellent battery life!).
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 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 compared to previous generations. The two available models (256 and 512 GB) see their prices rise by several tens of euros on approved sales sites. The new prices of 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 benefiting from great promotions. It is currently available from several merchants at a reduced price on our dedicated Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 article.
