Verdict

Folded small, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5 is a foldable phone that opens to a 6.7 inch screen, so you get a big display in a compact body. At 6.9 mm thick and 71.9 mm wide, it slides into a jacket pocket without a fuss. The 3.2 GHz boost clock keeps apps quick, and the 120 Hz screen makes scrolling smooth. The cameras include an ultrawide lens and optical image stabilization, so handheld shots stay steady. Wireless charging at 15 W is handy, but reverse charging is slow at 4.5 W. The trade-off is zoom and updates: there is no optical zoom, and it gets no direct OS updates. It suits someone who wants a slim phone with a bold screen and everyday photos, not long zoom shots.
