The design of the Galaxy Z Flip5 and Galaxy Z Fold5 has been carefully crafted to fully meet expectations for the devices’ durability. The main screen features a shock-dissipating layer, and the back panel has been redesigned to make the display more durable. With IPX8 support, a reinforced aluminum frame and Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2 covering the Flex screen and back cover, the Galaxy Z Flip5 and Galaxy Z Fold5 offer a level of protection that exceeds expectations. Also affecting the durability of the devices is the new Flex hinge, a strong and reliable mechanism that allows the smartphones to fold virtually gap-free.

Galaxy Z Fold5: maximize performance with a bigger screen

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5 features a large screen for a fully immersive content experience and a long-lasting battery. It’s the thinnest and lightest smartphone in the Fold series, maximizing portability while delivering the highest performance in the Galaxy Z series.

With its large screen, the Galaxy Z Fold series has fundamentally changed the way users work on a smartphone. It has evolved from Multi Window mode and App Continuity to a wide range of features including taskbar, drag-and-drop and third-party app optimization. The S Pen Fold Edition electronic pen, introduced in the third-generation Fold in 2021, has also been enhanced to give a superior writing experience on the Galaxy Z Fold5. All of these features and tools allow users to work efficiently on the big screen and accomplish important tasks wherever they are.

The improved Taskbar delivers dynamic performance, allowing you to quickly switch between frequently used apps. Now users always have up to four apps they’ve recently launched at their fingertips for more efficient work. The new two-handed drag and drop feature also improves productivity when moving content between different services or screens. For example, simply tap and hold an image in the Samsung Gallery app with one finger and open the Samsung Notes app with the other to drag an image into it. In hidden pop-up mode, the app can run in the background so you can watch full-screen videos while chatting with friends in a pop-up window on the edge of the screen.

The new, slimmer and more compact S Pen Fold Edition electronic pen makes it easy to take notes on documents and capture ideas in real time, while fitting more comfortably in your pocket. The Slim S Pen Case is almost as thick as the standard Fold case and is available in a variety of designs and colors to enhance each user’s personal style.

The 7.6-inch main screen offers a wide, borderless field of view so that users can enjoy watching their favorite movies in portrait or landscape orientation. In addition, its peak brightness has been increased by more than 30% to 1750 nits, so the picture is displayed in optimal quality even in bright sunlight.

Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 mobile platform for Galaxy

The new Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset delivers a vast gaming experience on the largest screen in Galaxy smartphone history, enhances graphics quality and applies artificial intelligence to dynamic games and custom features. The Galaxy Z Fold5 easily withstands gaming marathons thanks to an advanced cooling system with smart heat dissipation that reduces lag without compromising performance.
