The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 is a vertically folding phone with two screens: one regular phone-size screen on the inside and a half-size screen on the outside. This unique form factor recalls the popular flip phones of the early 2000s but with big upgrades in power and usability. The Flip 5 features a top-of-the-line Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip that easily handles demanding content creation workloads, multitasking, and mobile gaming.

A folding phone sinks or swims based on the quality of its folding mechanism and how well the screens integrate with it; the Galaxy Z Flip 5 snaps open with a satisfying click and feels quite sturdy. What’s more, the hinge in this edition of the Flip 5 was updated to provide a gapless closure in the folded position, eliminating a prior point of criticism.

One unique feature of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 is that the vertically folding design allows users to set up the device in a half-folded position to take selfies and group shots.
