Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. has officially introduced its highly anticipated fifth generation of Galaxy foldable devices: the Galaxy Z Flip5 and Galaxy Z Fold5. These cutting-edge devices boast sleek and compact designs, along with powerful performance and countless customization options, setting new standards in the foldable market.
Among the key highlights of the new Galaxy Z series is the innovative Flex Hinge, which enables smooth folding and ensures a solid, aesthetically balanced design. These devices also boast remarkable camera capabilities, including the FlexCam feature that allows users to capture photos from unique angles.
“Samsung is revolutionizing the mobile industry with foldables by setting the standard and continually refining the experience. Every day, more people choose our foldables because they offer an experience people want that they can’t get on any other device. Galaxy Z Flip5 and Galaxy Z Fold5 are the latest devices that prove our commitment to meeting the needs of our customers through innovative technology,” according to TM Roh, President and Head of Mobile eXperience Business at Samsung Electronics.
To meet durability expectations, Samsung has integrated several protective features into both devices. The main screen is equipped with a shock dispersion layer, and the back cover is redesigned for enhanced protection. IPX8 support, Armor Aluminum frames, and Corning Gorilla Glass Victus are applied to ensure the devices can withstand external impacts.
The Galaxy Z Flip5 is a pocket-sized device designed for self-expression. Its new Flex Window is 3.78 times larger than previous generations, offering users a wide range of customization options. The device’s closed form also provides increased usability, allowing users to access useful information and widgets without having to open it fully. The camera experience on the Galaxy Z Flip5 is also top-notch, with a larger Flex Window enabling high-quality selfies and hands-free photos from creative angles.
The Galaxy Z Fold5 offers an immersive, large-screen experience in a thin and lightweight form factor. With improved productivity features like Multi Window and App Continuity, users can seamlessly switch between apps and complete important tasks on the go. The device also comes with the enhanced S Pen Fold Edition, which provides a superior writing experience.
Samsung has taken significant steps to make the Galaxy Z Flip5 and Fold5 more sustainable. Both devices incorporate a variety of recycled materials, including pre-consumer recycled glass and aluminum, as well as post-consumer recycled plastics sourced from discarded fishing nets, water barrels, and PET bottles. The packaging box for these devices is made entirely from 100 percent recycled material.
The technology brand demonstrates its commitment to extending the product lifecycle by offering five years of security updates and four generations of OS upgrades for each device.
