The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5 loses the gap, gains a much larger cover display

26 July 2023
The new Flex Window is 3.78 times larger than the Z Flip4 display. Also, the new closes tight and makes the phone thinner.

    Maybe they'll add it later?
    I had it on my desk and someone thought it was a hard drive. Imagine connecting it with a cable for DEX.
    Still think it's a no brainer to trade in my Flip 4 for the better chip, outer screen, flat hinge, fresh battery and fresh warranty - all for $99 😀.

      The hardware is nice but the problem is the software,
      worst Android I have ever used (flip4).

          YUKI93, 26 Jul 2023I remembered the rumours about Z Flip5 getting DeX support,... moreWhoever at Samsung making this decision to ditch DeX support on Flip phones should be fired. Well I guess my money will go to another company than.

The Dex mode on the Flip would make a game changer, I remember that the competition, at least some of them, including Huawei has it.

                    I remembered the rumours about Z Flip5 getting DeX support, so I thought I checked that out. It took me to the Samsung Business USA website to confirm it's not happening (yet again)*.

                        So US prices are not listed in the article, but it's $999 for the 256GB SKU (same as base model last year) and $1199 for 512GB. Current promotion is a free storage upgrade (512GB SKU for $999), plus bundle offers ($300 off with a Tab S9 Ultra, up to $190 with the Galaxy Watch6, and $180 off with Galaxy Buds2 Pro).

                          Very awful I want next flip to have 4,120 mah battery and triple 50 mpx camera what a Shame Samsung

                            Guys, you can run, as expected, every app on the outer screen through Good Lock. "Ben's Gadet Reviews" already reported this in his hands-on. The out-of-the-box configuration/presentation does not show the actual possibilities.

                              A little bit underwhelming unfortunately.
                              Bigger outer screen with not so much functionality.

                              Battery and cameras the same as previous year.

                              The only positive changes are the Snap 8 Gen 2 and better max brightness.

                              Also base model is 8/256.

                                  Anonymous, 26 Jul 2023It’s impossible to a foldable not having a crease just thinkOther Android OEMS like Oppo, Xiaomi and even the Pixel Fold have minimized the depth of the crease. Meanwhile, Samsung still stuck with that ugly crease that could fit an underwater submersible in it.

                                    So the front screen can only do widgets? Fail. They should allow full Android Home Screen at the front. Making it only for widgets is almost as useless as a small screen.

                                        So, basically no improvements on the inner display on the Flip 5. They should just call it the Z Flip 3SS.

                                        Epic fail. All hype on the leaks but still no fix on that ugly center crease. lol.
