While the outer screen is useful for checking time, notifications, and key information, it may be redundant to run full apps on the small display.

Summary - The Galaxy Z Flip 5 is a popular and affordable flip phone option, offering a consistent camera, water resistance, extra software updates, and better cover screen widgets. It competes with the Motorola Razr 40 Ultra and Oppo Find N2 Flip, boasting a large external display, Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor, and a gapless fold mechanism. However, the phone has several compromises, including outer screen size, battery life, and camera quality. While the outer screen is useful for checking time, notifications, and key information, it may be redundant to run full apps on the small display.
Overview - Build - Samsung offers two foldable phones, the Galaxy Z Flip 5 and the Z Fold 5, with similar dimensions, aspect ratios, cameras, and batteries. Screenshots reveal the large cover screen, gapless hinge, and widgets for the cover screen.
Overview - Camera - The Galaxy Z Flip 5's camera system is mediocre for a $1,000 phone, lacking telephoto lens and digital zoom. Ultrawide photos are flat in good lighting, and low-light selfies with the main camera are hit-and-miss.

Lewis Painter – Trusted Reviews
07/26/2023
Design - Hinge - The Galaxy Z Flip 5's hinge redesign allows the screen to billow more at the crease, reducing stress on the folding display. Samsung claims the hinge and screen can play together for 200,000 movements without breaking, ensuring over five years of use.
Henry Burrell – Tech Advisor
08/04/2023
Design - Material - The Galaxy Z Flip 5 offers a soft, powdery feel without sticky silicone, but the strappy back adds bulk, but those with previous strappy cases may be used to it.

Battery - The Galaxy Z Flip 5’s battery life remains consistent with a 3,700mAh cell, ensuring a screen time of 4 hours. Setting the battery saver in Bixby routines doesn't affect performance or increase battery life when in the pocket. The device's performance profile can be changed to light in battery settings, which may improve performance without affecting the front screen.
Camera - The Galaxy Z Flip 5 features a 12-megapixel f/1.8 stabilized main camera and a 12-megapixel ultrawide camera. The inside screen features a 10-megapixel selfie camera, but the flip form makes it easy to use the rear-facing cameras for selfies and video calls. The main lens has great dynamic range and is a good camera to carry around for years. The ultra-wide camera is 12MP but has a different sensor with f/2.2 but no OIS, and is not as good in quality. The 10MP front-facing camera cut-out on the main screen is solid and works well with selfies as long as beautifying modes are turned off. Video clips are generally good, with Samsung using AI to improve low-light video quality. The phone is fun to shoot photos and video with, as it can be folded into an L shape for hands-free video or held up camcorder-style. Stabilized footage can process at up to Ultra HD (4K) at 60fps.

Comparison vs. Motorola Razr Plus - The Galaxy Z Flip 5 and Motorola's Razr Plus share a $999 price tag, offering a larger, more useful cover screen. Samsung's flip phone is more durable, has better cover screen widgets, and has a better camera system. However, some apps may not work as well on the Flip 5's display due to the lack of a persistent text input box.
Comparison vs. Oppo Find N2 Flip - The Oppo Find N2 Flip offers smaller, less useful cover screen and uncertain durability compared to the Galaxy Z Flip 5.
Allison Johnson – The Verge
08/07/2023
Comparison vs. Motorola Razr 40 Ultra - The Galaxy Z Flip 5 has a 3.4-inch exterior display, slightly smaller than the Razr 40 Ultra's 3.6-inch panel. It lacks twin cameras and functions similarly. The Razr Ultra offers better value for money, display, charging speeds, battery, and features compared to the Galaxy Z Flip 5.
Comparison vs. Galaxy Z Flip 4 - The Galaxy Z Flip 5 is a decent phone; battery life and cameras are OK. The narrower and longer design is preferred, which is easier to hold and doesn't give notice to the crease at the bottom of the screen. The hinge is impressive, and the screen on the outside is bigger, which is preferred over Motorola. The crease is visible but not noticeable. The phone takes a couple of weeks to understand usage patterns, but results in significant battery improvement after two weeks. The matte feel of the Flip 4 without a case is appealing, while the new 5 feels more fingerprinty and fragile due to the glossy finish and larger screen.
Comparison vs. iPhone 14 & Comparison vs. Google Pixel 7 - The iPhone 14 and Pixel 7's color palettes are more natural to the eyes than Flip phones.
Henry Burrell – Tech Advisor
08/04/2023
Comparison vs. Google Pixel 7 - The Galaxy Z Flip 5 loses in value, camera, display, and battery life compared to the Google Pixel 7, which costs just $599.
Henry Burrell – Tech Advisor
08/04/2023
Comparison vs. Galaxy Z Flip 4, Comparison vs. Google Pixel 7, Comparison vs. iPhone 14, & Comparison vs. Galaxy S23 - The Galaxy Z Flip 5 is similar to the Z Flip 4, and a smartphone with better screen, camera, and battery life is more recommended, such as the Google Pixel 7, iPhone 14, or any of the Galaxy S23 series.
Henry Burrell – Tech Advisor
08/04/2023
Comparison vs. Apple iPhones - Apple has released very similarly designed phones since 2017 with the same candy bar and just slightly different notches, which nevertheless sell well. Samsung is doing the same with its Foldables.
@jun1056 – Marques Brownlee
07/26/2023
Comparison vs. Galaxy Z Fold 5 & Comparison vs. Motorola Razr Ultra - The Galaxy Z Flip 5 offers a refined and fresh look, and the new cover display is more appealing than the Motorola Razr Ultra. Samsung could have potentially upgraded the Z Fold as well, but it is hoped that next year would be the year for a mega upgrade.
@simaknaveedakther8755 – Marques Brownlee
07/26/2023
Comparison vs. Motorola Razr 40 Ultra & Comparison vs. Galaxy Z Fold 2 - The Galaxy Z Flip 5 is a superior product with IP rating, wireless charging, gapless hinge, larger screen, fastest processor, and incredible UI.

Comparison vs. Motorola Razr - The Galaxy Z Flip 5 offers superior processor, battery life, and camera, but Razr users may not see the need for a similar phone.
@Princeton_James – TechTalkTV
07/26/2023
Comparison vs. Galaxy Z Flip 3 - The Galaxy Z Flip 5 has around 4,000 mAh battery capacity and a cover display upgrade from the 3. It may allow for more usage without the Open Phone to Continue feature. However, some argue that it should have a smaller cover display, only allowing notification LEDs and a clock/alarm display.
Comparison vs. iPhone 14 Pro & Comparison vs. Motorola Razr - The Galaxy Z Flip 5 has Android OS, and the same design as other Samsung Galaxy phones which makes them more appealing than the iPhone 14 Pro and Motorola Razr.

Drawback - Battery - The Galaxy Z Flip 5’s 3700 mAh battery is disappointing considering the standard is 4000 mAh.

Drawback - Camera - Some wish Samsung would switch the phone's telephoto and ultrawide sensors for the Galaxy Z Flip 5 as it is considered their most premium device, and as such should have better features.

Drawback - Cover Screen - The Galaxy Z Flip 5’s cover screen, while larger than its predecessors, is considered by some to be an admission of compromise with a flip phone in terms of features.

Issue - Always On Display - The Galaxy Z Flip 5’s Always On Display is taxing on battery life.

Issue - Battery Life - The Galaxy Z Flip 5 lost over 10% battery overnight, possibly due to the always-on function on the cover screen. Samsung's foldable phones' batteries will not change much as long as the phone size doesn't change, and they rely on software and processor to improve battery life. Flip phones in general are not known for their battery life; those with previous S23 Ultra experience will notice a difference.
Issue - Build - Some wish the Galaxy Z Flip 5 and other flip phones used 'glasstic' material as it would make the phones cheaper, lighter, and more durable with easier color options.

Issue - Camera - The Galaxy Z Flip 5's camera is considered a major issue, as it is lacking in comparison to the iPhones' S line.

Issue - Case - The Galaxy Z Flip 5’s case has a bulky design.

Issue - Charging Speed - The Galaxy Z Flip 5 has very slow charging speed, losing to the OnePlus 11 and making it undesirable for those who desire fast charging phones.
Issue - Cover Screen - The Cover Screen of the Galaxy Z Flip 5 is considered unappealing design wise, and worse performance-wise except when using it as a viewfinder to snap a selfie or group photo with its main camera. Opening the phone and operating with its main display is considered better overall. The smaller screens on the Z Flip 4 and the Motorola Razr 40 which don't distract while still displaying key information are much better.
Issue - Crease - The Galaxy Z Flip 5's crease is not noticeable when scrolling, but is when the phone is turned sideways.
Issue - Design - The Galaxy Z Flip 5’s design is considered by some to be sloppy.

Issue - Value for Money - Some consider Samsung's foldables to not get enough criticism as a phone and flagship, and that they do not offer enough for their price which is comparable to the Galaxy Series, which are considered more competent and versatile. Their only appeal is their folding feature, and they fall behind with regard to specifications, considered as an expensive gimmick with features barely justifying their cost.

Limitations - The Galaxy Z Flip 5 offers a new cover screen, new chipset, and new hinge, but everything else is the same as its predecessor.
