With a larger cover screen, improved hinge design, and Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor, Samsung aims to refine the foldable experience. But is it worth the investment?

Let’s dive into my experience with the Galaxy Z Flip5, covering its camera, battery life, performance, and more, while comparing it to other flagships like the iPhone 15 and Google Pixel 8 Pro.

Vantagens

Pros

  • Improved Cover Screen: The 3.4-inch cover screen is significantly larger, making it more practical for notifications, quick replies, and even using apps without unfolding the phone.
  • Durability: Samsung’s new hinge mechanism feels more solid and crease-less than previous models, making the folding experience smoother.

  • Compact and Stylish: The flip design offers a compact form factor, ideal for those who prioritize portability and unique design.
Desvantagens

Cons

  • Battery Life: At 3,700mAh, the battery is smaller compared to most flagship phones. Heavy use will require a midday top-up.
  • Camera Performance: While the 12MP cameras are solid, they don’t quite match up to the 200MP systems on phones like the Galaxy S23 Ultra or the iPhone 15 Pro Max, particularly in low-light settings.
  • No Telephoto Lens: Unlike other flagship devices, the Z Flip5 lacks a telephoto lens, limiting its zooming capabilities.

Key Features of Galaxy Z Flip5

 

1. Cover Screen

The standout feature of the Galaxy Z Flip5 is its much larger cover screen. At 3.4 inches, it allows users to access notifications, reply to messages, use apps like YouTube or Google Maps, and even take selfies without opening the phone. It’s one of the most practical implementations of a secondary screen in a foldable yet.

2. Performance

Equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor, the Galaxy Z Flip5 holds its own in terms of performance. From gaming to multitasking, the phone runs smoothly without any noticeable lag. Compared to Google’s Tensor G3 on the Pixel 8 Pro, the Snapdragon still edges out in terms of raw power and efficiency.

3. Durability and Design

Samsung’s improved hinge mechanism reduces the visible crease on the main display, which has been a common issue with foldables. The phone feels solid when folded and unfolded, and the hinge feels durable enough for everyday use. The design continues to be sleek and pocket-friendly, offering a refreshing alternative to traditional smartphones.

4. Camera

The Galaxy Z Flip5 features dual 12MP cameras – a main and an ultrawide. While the cameras are capable, they don’t match up to flagship models with high megapixel counts or telephoto lenses. In good lighting, the photos are sharp and vibrant, but in low light, the performance lags behind competitors like the Google Pixel 8 Pro or Galaxy S23 Ultra.

5. Battery Life

The 3,700mAh battery is decent but may struggle to last a full day under heavy use. Moderate users will find it sufficient for everyday tasks, but if you’re using the cover screen a lot or gaming, expect to charge before the day’s end. Phones like the Galaxy S23 Ultra with a 5,000mAh battery offer more endurance, but the Z Flip5's compact design comes with a trade-off.

Meus pensamentos finais

Depois de usar o Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5 por algumas semanas, fica claro que a Samsung continua a refinar sua linha dobrável. A tela de cobertura maior e o design aprimorado da dobradiça tornam este o melhor Z Flip até agora, enquanto o Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 garante excelente desempenho.

No entanto, ainda existem compromissos - mais notavelmente, a bateria menor e o desempenho da câmera em comparação com outros carros-chefe. Mas se você está procurando um telefone elegante e compacto que seja um iniciador de conversas, o Galaxy Z Flip5 é uma opção fantástica.

Para mim, o Galaxy Z Flip5 oferece uma experiência inovadora que vale a pena considerar para aqueles que valorizam design, portabilidade e o formato flip exclusivo. Embora possa não ser a melhor escolha para usuários avançados ou entusiastas da fotografia, ele se destaca como um dobrável sólido no mercado atual.
