Samsung Electronics launched the fifth generation of foldable Galaxy devices: Galaxy Z Flip5 and Galaxy Z Fold5. The latest generation of foldable phones offers unique experiences for every user, with a sleek and compact design, unlimited customization options and powerful performance. The new hinge brings unique folding functionality while offering a balanced and solid aesthetic design. These unparalleled foldable phones unlock amazing photography capabilities like FlexCam to take photos from creative angles. With strong performance and an optimized battery powered by the latest processor, the Samsung Galaxy Z series redefines the limits of a smartphone – whether open or closed.

 

“Samsung continues to revolutionize the mobile industry with foldable devices, setting standards and continually refining the foldable phone experience. More and more people are choosing our foldable devices because they offer an amazing experience that they can’t have on another device. The Galaxy Z Flip5 and Galaxy Z Fold5 are the latest devices that demonstrate our commitment to meet the needs of our customers through innovative technology,” said TM Roh, President and Head of Mobile eXperience at Samsung Electronics.

Samsung’s expertise in innovation and commitment to the foldable category has resulted in incredibly versatile devices. Believing in the potential of this type of device, along with a constant commitment to research, development and manufacturing, Samsung has constantly refined and optimized its range of Galaxy Z series devices. From creating content on the Galaxy’s new Flex front screen Z Flip5, to the seamless multitasking of the Galaxy Z Fold5, this series of Galaxy foldable devices meets and exceeds the needs of users.

In addition, both Galaxy Z Flip5 and Galaxy Z Fold5 have been carefully designed to meet expectations in terms of durability. The main screen is equipped with a shock dispersion layer to ensure increased resistance of the screen. Along with the IPX8 feature, Armor Aluminum frame and Corning® Gorilla® Glass Victus®2 glass applied to both the front Flex screen and the back cover, the Galaxy Z Flip5 and Galaxy Z Fold5 offer the protection consumers expect, and the hinge reinforce this protection. This new integrated hinge module features a dual-rail structure that disperses external shocks.

Galaxy Z Flip5: The most compact and performing phone created to express your personality

Galaxy Z Flip5 offers unique and engaging functionality through its foldable and compact design that allows users to best express their personality. The new Flex front screen, now 3.78 times larger than the previous generation, offers an expanded range of existing and new functions. It offers several customization options, including informative digital watch faces and graphics that can be adapted to the Galaxy Watch6 series. In addition, the new Flipsuit Case for the Galaxy Z Flip5 offers protection for the device, including a switchable NFC card, so users can match the design of the front Flex screen and the design of the case for increased customization.

When folded, the Galaxy Z Flip5 offers easier and more versatile use than ever. From the front screen, you can quickly and effortlessly access useful information. With the help of widgets, you can check the weather, control music playback and listen to your favorite music with the help of the Media Controller, or you can keep up to date with the latest global financial market updates with the help of the Google Finance widget. View all widgets at a glance and quickly switch between them using your fingers to zoom the screen and thus activate Multi Widget View mode. In addition, you can easily check notifications and access Quick Settings for Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. Without opening the device, you can browse to view or return missed calls and reply to text messages on the go using Quick Reply with a full QWERTY keyboard and access to conversation history.

With its recognizable design and shape, the Galaxy Z Flip5 also offers the most versatile camera experience on a Samsung Galaxy smartphone. Take high-quality selfies with the main camera thanks to the larger front screen. Users can capture stunning hands-free photos from creative angles with the Flex Camera. Viewing and editing photos in Flex Mode is quick and easy. Users can review, adjust color tone or delete images easily using the Quick View function on the front screen. When taking a photo of a friend, the Dual Preview function allows the subject and the photographer to be seen on the front screen so they can make real-time adjustments for the perfect shot. Users can achieve smooth moving images with Super Steady camera stabilization, while Auto Framing ensures that no one is left out of the frame.

Galaxy Z Flip5 adds AI enhancements to the powerful camera experience, bringing every photo to life with AI solutions. Get creative even in low light with enhanced Nightography features that optimize photos and videos in ambient lighting. The AI-powered image processing algorithm corrects any visual noise that typically affects low-light images, while enhancing detail and color tones. Even from a distance, photos are sharper thanks to the 10X digital zoom.

Galaxy Z Fold5: The ultimate powerhouse in productivity with a generous screen

A large, immersive screen and long-lasting battery in the thinnest and lightest Fold ever, Galaxy Z Fold5 is easy to carry anywhere and offers the most powerful performance in the Galaxy Z series.

The Galaxy Z Fold pioneered the transformation of everyday productivity through a robust experience on a large screen, evolving from functionality like Multi Window and App Continuity to a wide range of features including Taskbar, drag & drop actions, as well as optimizing third-party applications. The S Pen Fold Edition, introduced in the third-generation Fold in 2021, has also been improved to provide a superior writing experience on the Galaxy Z Fold5. These specs and tools deliver productivity on a big screen and allow users to complete important tasks wherever they are.

With the improved functionality of the Taskbar, for increased productivity users can quickly switch between the most frequently used applications; up to four recently used apps are always at hand. Also, the two-handed drag & drop feature has been improved to increase productivity while transferring content between apps and screens. Simply touch and hold an image in Samsung Gallery with one finger and use another finger to open the Samsung Notes app to place the image there. Through the hidden pop-up functionality, an app can continue to run in the background, allowing users to watch full-screen video content and chat with friends in a pop-up window on the screen.

The new slimmer and more compact S Pen Fold Edition makes it easy to annotate in real time, while being comfortable to carry in your pocket. The Slim S Pen Case is almost the same thickness as a regular Fold case and is available in a variety of styles and colors so users can carry their S Pens in style.

Helping users do more on the move, the 7.6-inch main screen provides an excellent viewing experience, allowing users to enjoy their favorite movies in both portrait and landscape formats. In addition, the maximum brightness is more than 30% higher, reaching 1750 nits, ensuring an optimal viewing experience even in bright light conditions, including under the sun’s rays.

To provide users with an immersive gaming experience on the largest screen of a Galaxy smartphone, the Snapdragon® 8 Gen 2 mobile platform for Galaxy enhances graphics and uses artificial intelligence to enable dynamic gaming and multi-game functionality. With Galaxy Z Fold5, you’ll be able to enjoy extended gaming sessions in comfort thanks to its advanced cooling system that intelligently dissipates heat, avoiding lag and ensuring consistent performance.

A positive impact on the planet

Samsung continues to demonstrate progress in meeting its environmental vision and accelerate actions that contribute to its goals, including the goal of achieving net zero carbon emissions by the end of 2030 for the Device Experience Division.

The Galaxy Z Flip5 and Z Fold5 feature a wider range of recycled materials than previous generations, including pre-consumer recycled glass and aluminum, as well as post-consumer recycled plastic from discarded fishing nets, water barrels and PET bottles. Even the paper used for the packaging box is entirely made from 100% recycled material.

These innovations have been intentionally designed to provide optimized durability. Each device comes with five years of security updates and four generations of operating system upgrades, helping to extend the life of the product.
