Industry’s slimmest foldable, measuring 9.9 mm when closed and 4.7 mm when opened, with a 5000mAh battery inside.
Cropping on the 50MP sensor may not be as impressive as it sounds. The new 50MP sensor has smaller 0.7 μm pixels. As a result, pixel binning is used reducing the resolution to only 12.5MP.
The high resolution telephoto sensor is slightly bigger than the old 10MP one. It uses pixel binning in dimmer situations, like the main sensor.
The stacked battery assembly utilizes the space better, resulting in higher battery capacity within the same space.
The phone is still thicker than all other mainstream devices and has the crease on the display.
The Z Flip 5 is a compact device giving a great in-hand feel without much sacrifice, but the Z Fold 5 is still bulky and is still a phone, not a PC-like powerhouse for multitasking either.
The upcoming Galaxy S24 series is most likely to bring back Exynos to certain markets, just like in the past.
The Galaxy Z fold 5 and Z flip 5 are protected from temporary immersion in fresh water in up to 1.5m of depth for 30 minutes. However, neither of the devices are completely waterproof.
The Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Z Flip 5 are IPX8 rated, where the ‘X’ means no protection against dust or granular substances. So the devices aren’t dust resistant.
The Flip 5 will only be worthy as an upgrade if you are okey with ditching your current device just for the bigger cover display and gapless design.
The Snapdragon 8 Gen2 is more than enough, but considering it as ‘PC-like power’ is a bit exaggeration.
The new hinge allows the phone to shut gaplessly while offering a thinner and lighter form factor.
After ditching the custom Mongoose cores from the Galaxy S21 series in 2021, they are set to return with new custom CPUs again from 2027.
The Galaxy-exclusive chip is a customized form of the Exynos 2500 and is likely to be an iterative improvement than a technological breakthrough.
