Score SummaryApex Premium Flagship ($850 and above)
Hardware Score:8.8 / 10

The clamshell foldable revolution with huge 3.4-inch Flex Window and zero-gap hinge.

The Galaxy Z Flip 5 is the clamshell that perfected pocketable foldable design. Its dramatic 3.4-inch external Flex Window screen lets users reply to full messages, navigate with Google Maps, and preview selfies with the high-resolution primary camera without ever unfolding the phone. Samsung’s redesigned tear-drop Flex Hinge allows the phone to fold completely flat with zero gap, dramatically improving pocketability and dust ingress resistance. Powered by the overclocked Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy with IPX8 water resistance, it is stylish, durable, and highly capable.

Key Strengths

  • Massive 3.4-inch outer Flex Window allows full widget and app multitasking when folded
  • New Flex Hinge closes completely flat with zero visible gap
  • High-performance Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy processor
  • Hands-free FlexCam mode allows tripod-free video calls and photography
  • IPX8 water resistance rating ensures peace of mind against spills

Points to Consider

  • 3700 mAh battery capacity requires conservative usage to last a full day
  • No dedicated telephoto optical zoom camera lens
  • Inner screen crease is still tactilely noticeable when scrolling
