Samsung recently hosted its Galaxy Unpacked that featured a line-up of its latest offerings including the Galaxy Z Flip5, Z Fold5,Tab S9 Series, Watch6 and Watch6 Classic. The event featured upgrades and some familiar throwbacks like the rotating bezel in the Watch6 Classic.
If you’re considering to “join the Flip side”, here are some key takeaways that you need to know.
Better design
Smaller hinge - The Z Flip and Fold 5 features smaller hinges allowing the phones to fold flat as compared to previous generations that had a small gap that felt unintentional.
A bigger outer screen on the Flip5 - with a bigger outer screen, the Flip5 is much more functional, allowing for more apps and actions without the need to unfold the device.
Smaller S Pen - without being able to store the S pen within the device can be a hassle. The Fold5 series introduces new cases that store a slimmer S Pen, giving you access to better productivity on-the-go.
Personalisation
Coupled with One UI 5 and a whole range of accessories, the Galaxy Z series is better at reflecting your personal style. A bigger outer screen also allows you to choose what gets displayed.
Creation and productivity
The Galaxy Z Flip5 is a creator’s dream phone. It is ultra portable, it has a big reflective screen to see what you’re capturing, it can stand without a tripod and it takes awesome quality photos and videos.
The Galaxy Z Fold5 on the other hand takes productivity to the next level. With a massive 7.6” screen and 12GB of RAM, it’s like having two phones in one. Multi-windows allow you to perform multiple tasks simultaneously.
Processing and battery life
The flagship Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 addresses the issues faced in prior flagship devices in terms of heating, and performance.
Along with a 4400 mAh battery on the Z Fold5, the device is advertised to last up to 21 hours.The 3700 mAh battery on the Z Flip5 is advertised to allow up to 20 hours of watching videos.
Screen and display
The Galaxy Z Fold5 boasts a stunning display that can go up to 1750 nits in brightness allowing for comfortable viewing even outdoors. The Flip5 however, is not as impressive with a 1200 peak nits brightness that is still good enough but pales in comparison to the Fold.
Conclusion
Foldables are changing the way we experience tech, offering more versatility in terms of what can be achieved without requiring heft.
