The foldable smartphone was a flawed novelty only a few years ago, but recent models have truly married innovative design with solid reliability and usability.
When the first folding smartphones arrived, they looked and felt like something from the future. Now, just a few years after those early models were made available in limited quantities, these exciting devices have been steadily refined and improved so they’re ready for everyday use. While prices are dropping as the technology matures, they’re still expensive purchases, so making the right buying decision is imperative.
Samsung has been in the foldable game longer than almost everyone else, and it's easily made the most folding devices so far, with each iteration adding something new. The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 isn't the biggest leap in foldable tech, but it does introduce some major changes that make it even better than ever before.
The 4,400mAh battery will give you a full day and some change on a single charge, and the 25-watt fast charging is good, even if you won't get that speed with the charger in the box. The phone is fully compatible with the S Pen stylus , making it a good choice for sketching when combined with the larger inner screen.
The Tensor G2 chip is inside, along with 12GB of RAM. You can get it in either 256GB or 512GB storage capacities. Thanks to the G2 chip, performance is powerful for everyday tasks, and the device is quite responsive. You also get great results with photos due to Google's powerful AI and computational photography processing techniques. On the camera side, you get a 48MP main camera, a 10.8MP ultrawide camera, and a 10.8MP telephoto camera with 5x optical zoom. The cover display has a 9.
As with the Z Fold 5, Samsung has eradicated the gap where the displays meet at the hinge, so the Z Flip 5 now sits completely flat when folded shut. This also means the phone is slightly thinner than before, which helps it to sit better in pockets. There's also a stronger sense of quality in the Z Flip 5, with parts just feeling more solid than before, and even more so than the Motorola Razr Plus.
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 Best folding flip phone More Motorola Razr Plus Best folding flip phone runner-up Motorola Razr Plus Review Pros Cons Why you should buy this: Motorola's Razr Plus is one of the few competitors for Samsung in the flip smartphone market, and it's a great phone in its own right.
The cameras aren't super great, as you only get a 12MP main camera, a 13MP ultrawide camera, and a 32MP selfie camera. Pictures will come out fine for the most part, but the colors may be slightly off from what you see in reality, and the phone may not capture motion shots very well. Models like the Galaxy Z Flip 5 are also versatile, just in a different way. Open, the screen is the same size as a large non-folding smartphone, but you can fold the phone in half when it’s not in use. It’s the perfect phone for anyone who values convenience but doesn’t want to sacrifice a useful, modern, big screen in their quest for a more pocketable device. Non-folding smartphones can’t match this level of versatility.
