Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE is perhaps one of the worst deals in the foldable market, but the company isn’t helping its case with a revival of the Galaxy Z Flip 5 which is even cheaper, and far more worthwhile.
Samsung usually celebrates Earth Day by offering its previous generations of flagship smartphones through its “Certified Re-Newed” refurbishment program, just as it did this year with the Galaxy S24. In a first for the company, though, Samsung’s also offering refurbished foldables through this same program, though you’ll still need some serious cash to pick one up.
After multiple delays halted the process, Samsung has gone down the list of devices that need One UI 7. It appears the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Z Flip 5 are now getting the One UI 7 update in Korea, with more regions to come.
Samsung is launching a special edition of its Galaxy Z Flip 5, with the “Retro” edition paying tribute to one of the company’s most popular flip phones.
Galaxy Z Fold/Flip 5 users have been twiddling their thumbs, waiting for the One UI 6 beta to come. Unfortunately, it might be a little longer than initially expected, with Samsung noting a One UI 6 beta delay until sometime in October.
Samsung and MrBeast have officially partnered up to promote the company’s lineup of Galaxy devices. Going forward, the massive YouTube Channel will use Galaxy devices for certain vlog-style shots where “real” cameras aren’t convenient.
The Galaxy Z Flip 5 lacks the “Bespoke” customization that’s been popular on past Flip devices, but there is still some customization to be had. The “FlipSuit” case for Galaxy Z Flip 5 allows users to use cards to change the look of their case, and now there are a lot more options available.
Foldable flip phones have proven to be a hit, and the two best options on the market right now are Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip 5 and the Motorola Razr+. Both devices have a lot to offer, and it’s a tough call between the two. Here’s what you should consider when weighing things out between the two.
Just a week after their official launch, Samsung is rolling out the first update to its new Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Flip 5, with the August security patch in tow.
Samsung is today launching seven new devices in the Galaxy Z Flip 5 and Fold 5, Galaxy Tab S9 series, and the Galaxy Watch 6 series, and we’ve got a full breakdown of the best deals available on launch day.
One of the biggest criticisms of foldable smartphones from Samsung and others over the past couple of years has been durability, as stories of spontaneously broken displays have made their way through the web. More torture tests of the Galaxy Z Flip 5 and Galaxy Z Fold 5, though, continue to show that Samsung’s devices are more durable than they’re given credit for.
Samsung’s latest foldable phones seem to be a hit, with the Galaxy Z Flip 5 and Fold 5 together breaking pre-order records with over 1 million orders in the company’s home country of South Korea alone.
Foldable flip phones are the form factor that really seems to be catching on, and the new Galaxy Z Flip 5 is a near-perfect version of the idea. Or, at least, it would be if the software hadn’t fallen short.
Widgets are a core part of the new “Flex Window” cover screen on the Galaxy Z Flip 5, but it’s limited out of the box. Thanks to a new update to the third-party project CoverScreen OS, though, you can use any widget out there, and even ahead of the formal release.
When you look at Samsung’s new Galaxy Z Flip 5 and Fold 5 in the context of the past couple of foldable releases, they’re really boring, but that isn’t a bad thing, at least for now.
Most phones need to hit a certain mark in testing before the design ends up in your hands. Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Flip 5 go through the same durability tests, and the company has chronicled them in a sort of tame torture test video.
Mobile payments have become pretty much commonplace, but if you were hoping to use Google Wallet on the Galaxy Z Flip 5’s new “Flex Window” cover display, we regret to inform you that Samsung completely blocks the app from opening.
The Galaxy Z Flip 5’s outer display is a massive upgrade over past models, in part because it supports a select few full apps. Among those supported without major modification are Google Messages and Google Maps, which can be very useful on the Galaxy Z Flip 5.
The Galaxy Z Flip 5 has a cover display that’s four times larger than previous models, but out of the box, it’s still not that useful. Luckily, a Good Lock module that Samsung offers for the Galaxy Z Flip 5 allows you to run any full Android app on the outer display. Here’s how it works.
The big upgrade on Samsung’s new Galaxy Z Flip 5 is the debut of a new, much larger cover display that’s actually capable of doing some useful things. But, what can you actually do on it? Here’s a quick look at all of the built-in features.
Samsung’s latest foldable smartphones have arrived in the Galaxy Z Flip 5 and Galaxy Z Fold 5, and they’re very iterative. Here’s what’s actually new and what you should care about in any capacity on Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Flip 5.
