Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5G

Overview

Samsung has now officially announced the latest refresh of its epic foldable flagship - the Galaxy Z Flip 5G. The smartphone will come with the same clamshell design with some much-needed upgrades. The smartphone will indeed arrive with the latest Snapdragon 865+ and support for 5G as well. OS optimizations have also been made to enhance the Flex Mode experience with newly added features. Not much from the outside, but from the inside this seems to be a solid refresh.

Design and Display

Galaxy Z Flip 5G will boast an incredible 6.7 inch (17.02 cm) Dynamic AMOLED display with a resolution of 1080 x 2636 pixels. The bezel-less display with a pixel density of 425ppi clubbed with HDR10+ will ensure a detailed and rich viewing experience. The foldable clamshell will have an immersive punch-hole display along with an aspect ratio of 21.5:9 to deliver a seamless multitasking experience.

Cameras

The Galaxy Z Flip 5G will house a dual-camera setup at the back with a 12MP OIS PDAF cameraas the primary sensor. This will be further accompanied by a second 12MP Wide Angle OIS PDAF camera. For clicking selfies, the device will feature a single 10MP selfie shooter on the front. Shipping with the camera are features like Auto Flash, Face detection, and Touch to focus as well.

Battery and Performance

The Galaxy Z Flip 5G will indeed be powered by Qualcomm’s extremely powerful Snapdragon 865 Plus chipset clubbed with an Adreno 650GPU to deliver a smooth and lag-free gaming experience. The device will get 8 GB RAM for faster multitasking along with large internal storage of 256 GB, which sadly cannot be expanded further. The device will however ship with a smaller 3300mAh battery with support for fast charging. It will natively support wireless charging as well.

Software and Connectivity

The Galaxy Z Flip 5G will run on Android 10 out of the box with an optimized version of One UI on top with new features and Flex Mode enhancements. There will be a bunch of connectivity options including 5G support, Dual sim VoLTE support (Nano + eSIM), Wi-Fi 802.11, ax/b/g/n, GPS, and Bluetooth 5.1. The smartphone will surprisingly have a 3.5mm headphone jack as well along with the usual USB Type-C port. NFC support will also be there to make payments easier. Apart from that, we will also get to see a side-mounted fingerprint sensor.
