Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5 and Z Fold5

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5 and Z Fold5

Samsung took to the stage earlier today to announce new devices in its Galaxy Unpacked event in Seoul, South Korea. New foldable, smartwatches and tablets got launched and here’s everything you need to know.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5

The Z Flip5 took all the attention as it was the most anticipated device. It comes running Android 13 and One UI 5.1.1 upgradeable all the way to Android 17.

Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy powers the clamshell-style foldable coupled with 8GB of RAM and an additional 5GB of Virtual RAM with either 128GB or 256GB storage.

The Z Flip5 comes with a 3700mAh battery and 25W charger.

The biggest change was the new hinge that lets the phone close completely and a new large cover screen sitting at 3.4 inches.

The inner display remains at a 6.7-inch OLED screen

The waterdrop hinge means that the Flip5 has a slimmer and flatter design. It has IPX8 rating.

The cover screen now supports more widgets, mini-apps and access to a full keyboard.

At the back are two 12MP dual cameras – a wide with OIS support and an ultrawide.

A 10MP selfie camera sits at the front of the 6.7-inch inner screen.

Pricing starts from Ksh 193,000

It comes in various colours including Mint, Lavender and Graphite and Cream

Like the Z Flip5, the Fold5 has the same waterdrop hinge that allows for a zero-gap when closed.

The crease is still there but less visible.

It comes running on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy. It also has 12GB RAM and UFS 4.0 storage options including 256GB, 512GB and 1TB. Android 13 powers the phone with One UI 5.1.1 upgradeable all the way to Android 17.

It has a 7.6-inch Dynamic AMOLED(2X) inner display sporting a 120Hz refresh rate and HDR10+ support. The outer screen is a 6.2-inch Dynamic AMOLED(2X) screen with the same 120Hz refresh rate and has Gorilla Glass Victus+ protection.

The brightness has been increased to 1750 nits.

Other features include a side-mounted fingerprint reader, IPX8 rating and stereo speakers.

Galaxy Tab S9 Series

The Tab S9 series are all powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy like the new foldables. They come with 12GB RAM and storage options starting at 128GB with the option to expand via microSD cards.
