Why we chose the Galaxy Z Flip 5: Samsung has been hitting it out of the park with its Galaxy Z Flip series, and this year's Flip 5 takes everything that was great about its predecessor and makes it even better, refining the design and user experience in small but meaningful ways.

Galaxy Story

FlexCam refers to camera experience using Flex mode. Flex mode supported at angles between 75°and 115°. Based on the following features not found in other vertical flip phones: 3.6" screen size, up to 144Hz refresh rate, and 1056 x 1066 resolution

Measured diagonally, Galaxy Z Flip4's Cover Screen size is 1.9" in the full rectangle and 1.8" accounting for the rounded corners; actual viewable area is smaller due to the rounded corners. Know what you care about most:Is it screen size? Camera quality? Battery life? This will help narrow down your choices. If you're interested in a foldable phone, design and screen size should be more important to you than camera quality Typical value tested under third-party laboratory condition. Typical value is the estimated average value considering the deviation in battery capacity among the battery samples tested under IEC 61960 standard. Rated capacity is 4270mAh for Galaxy Z Fold5, and 3591mAh for Galaxy Z Flip5. Actual battery life may vary depending on network environment, usage patterns and other factors. Motorola has also pulled out all the stops in giving the Razr Plus an incredible cover screen experience, putting in a 3.6-inch pOLED HDR10+ display with a 1066 x 1056-pixel resolution and a 144Hz refresh rate. That's enough to watch movies and play games if you're willing to squint a bit, and unlike Samsung's Z Fip 5 cover screen, Motorola lets you run any Android app on it without the need to jump through complicated hoops. It's the best cover screen you can get in a foldable right now in size, quality, and versatility.

Long battery life is one of the biggest advantages of a traditional flip phone. While most smartphones need to hit the charger every night, the battery on a feature phone can last for a week or longer without a charge. Since they don't need to show as much information or play high-definition movies and games, flip phones can use smaller and more durable screens than their all-glass smartphone counterparts. This makes them ideal for folks who want to ensure they can stay connected on long trips or work in remote areas under challenging conditions. Typical tested battery life of at least 40 hours. Actual battery life varies by network environment, features and apps used, frequency of calls and messages, the number of times charged, and many other factors. Estimated against the average usage profile compiled by UX Connect Research. Independently assessed by UX Connect research between 2023.06.19-2023.06.29 in US with pre-release versions of SM-F946 and SM-F731 under default setting using LTE and 5G Sub6 networks. On the inside, you get a 6.7-inch AMOLED 2X display with a resolution of 2640 x 1080 pixels and a 120Hz refresh rate that's brighter than ever, so you'll have no problem seeing it outdoors. However, you won't need to worry about that nearly as often since the Z Flip 5 now boasts an expansive 3.4-inch Super AMOLED 720 x 748-pixel cover screen that can show you almost everything you'll need to see at a glance. It's so big, in fact, that you can run full Android apps on the Flip 5 cover screen ... after a bit of tweaking, that is. All battery life claims are approximate and based on the median user tested across a mixed use profile (which includes both usage and standby time) under optimal network conditions. Actual battery performance will vary and depends on many factors including signal strength, network and device settings, temperature, battery condition, and usage patterns. With a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 inside — Qualcomm's premium late-2022 mobile platform — it easily holds its own against nearly any other flagship smartphone on the market when it comes to performance, and it also offers one of the cleanest and most effortless software experiences you'll find outside of Google's "pure Android" Pixel phones, making it a joy to use.
