The two devices were officially presented at a show in South Korea which thus renews its foldable portfolio with the new Flip Z 5 and Galaxy Z Fold 5.

Let’s start with the Z Fold 5, which is about the size of a phone when closed and unfolds to become a larger device. What’s new here is mainly about a improvement of technical specifications and a new “double Flex Hinge” system. The new hinge design makes the phone look more like most other foldable devices. When closed, the support plates under the screen fold move, allowing the folded display to adopt a softer teardrop shape rather than being pressed into a rigid crease. This means that the phone can close flat, leaving no gaps. Most hinges of this type have a groove or gap in the center of the screen anyway, but this solution is less stressful for the display.

Foldables are pretty big devices to carry in your pocket, and thinness is an important consideration when it comes to potentially doubling the weight and thickness of a regular phone. The folding hinge and some tricks to make the phone thinner they bring the Z Fold 5 to a thickness of 13.4 mm when closed. With a 4400mAh battery, not a particularly impressive result. In the US, the Pixel Fold manages to be just 12.1mm thick with a 5000mAh battery.

As for the technical specifications, we find a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 “For Galaxy” processor, just like the S23. It’s a lucrative deal between Samsung and Qualcomm: Samsung gets slightly boosted versions of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor, while using Qualcomm chips internationally and neglecting its Exynos chips. The phone has di 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB of internal memory. There are a main camera from 50 MP, a 10 MP telephoto camera with 3x zoom and a 12MP ultrawide. The slim 120Hz front screen measures 6.2 inches, while the 120Hz internal screen has a diagonal of 7.6 inches. The price remains at $1,799.

Galaxy Z Flip 5

Now let’s move on to the other foldable one, the Z Flip 5. It’s a modern clamshell phone, which means it’s full-sized when open and becomes a compact square when closed. The Z Flip 4 had a tiny 1.9-inch front screen that could only run mini-applications, similar to those on a smartwatch. This year, the Flip 5 features a much larger 3.4-inch front screen. It’s mostly used for Samsung’s custom “widgets,” like timers, weather forecasts, and calendars, but you can turn on the apps “lab” feature, which lets you run stripped-down versions of six apps: Google Messages, Samsung Messages, WhatsApp, Google Maps, Netflix and YouTube. You can use a keyboard, but only one from Samsung.

The rectangle of the screen is as large as possible on the front without interfering with the cameras. The screen also fits the area to the left of the cameras, creating a space for a shortcut bar. This is in contrast to the Moto Razr+, which simply extended the whole screen around the front facing cameras. Samsung uses this extra area to display a row of buttons, usually for navigation.

Even the smallest phone adopts the “gapless hinge” treatment. It has the same processor Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 boosted, 8GB RAM, 256GB internal storage, and the big drawback of clamshell phones – a rather small battery, only 3700 mAh. As for the cameras, we have a 12MP main, a 12MP ultrawide, and a 10MP front camera. The internal screen is still a 6.7-inch OLED with 120Hz refresh rate.
