Short URL: It has been almost a year since launched the Galaxy Z Flip 5 and the Galaxy Z Fold 5. In fact, the launch of their successors is just around the corner, and we won’t have to wait too long. But back then, we only reviewed the Galaxy Z Fold 5, which you can read about here.
However, we also had a unit of the Galaxy Z Flip 5, which we’ve continuously used until this day. And since we didn’t get to review it back then, we decided why not do one now almost a year since we got our hands on it to see how it fairs today. So in this review, we’ll be checking out a well-used Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5, and how it has held up after a year of use.
More importantly, it also begs the question whether or not you should consider buying one right now. Design and Construction We’re all familiar with the clamshell design of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip series. But on the Z Flip 5, Samsung did fit a larger 3.
4-inch screen panel to the front cover. On the previous model, this was only a small 1.9-inch screen, and you were limited in what you could do.
We’ll discuss more about the front screen later though. With the addition of the new larger screen, Samsung had to relocate the camera location. The most subtle but important change Samsung made would be the hinge on the Galaxy Z Flip 5.
The redesigned hinge now allows the Galaxy Z Flip 5 to close almost completely flat without any gap at the rear. The result? You get a cleaner-looking phone when it’s closed. It’s also a few mil.
