Top 3 Reasons To Flip Out

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5 flips the script on a regular smartphone, and it ups the ante on its insanely popular predecessor too. There’s never been a better time to upgrade. Here’s why a new Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5 could be the one for you.

#1 Flip For Portability

How compact is the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip? When opened, it’s a full-screen phone, but snap it shut and you’ve got pocket-sized perfection with the largest external cover screen of any Samsung flip phone yet. That boosted outside screen will keep you in the know, allowing you to check the time or your messages, take selfies and receive app notifications on the go. A zero-gap hinge creates a seamless screen when it’s open, and extra-strong glass plus IPX8 water resistance keep it safe and scratch-free.

#2 Flip For Customised Covers

Make your phone your own by mixing and matching accessories with your unique cover screen and main screen displays. Clip it to your bag or belt loop to step up your style.

Style meets function when you make your Galaxy Z Flip5 your own by mixing and matching accessories with your unique cover screen and main screen displays. Accessorise by clipping it to your bag or belt loop and feel great about a phone that lets you express yourself.

#3 Flip For Hands-Free Fun

Thought the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5’s only trick was the flip? Wrong. Fold it, flip it or stand it for next-level selfies, group shots and videos. Flex Mode lets you release your inner influencer and shoot content hands-free from almost any angle, so you always find your right light and everyone’s in frame. Upload straight to your socials when you’re done.

#1 Fold For Big-Screen Entertainment

Whether it’s your favourite TV series (again) or the latest all-action game, you’ve got the immersive screen to turbocharge your downtime. Unfold from a smartphone screen to a huge 7.6-inch tablet-like display with a zero-gap hinge for uninterrupted picture quality. Add an ultra-fast refresh rate and improved cooling capabilities, and you’ve got a phone ready to entertain you anywhere, anytime.

#2 Fold For Productivity

Need to achieve more on the go? With the Galaxy Z Fold5’s Multiview window feature you can make video calls while comparing documents side-by-side, or check your emails while getting news updates. What else? Quickly drag and drop content between apps and pin your most used apps to an easy-access Taskbar for job support that goes wherever you do.

“The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5 is among the best smartphones for quick navigation and multi-tasking,” says John Wong. “Unfolded, it’s like having dual screens to work across, so you can open multiple tabs and work seamlessly between apps and documents.”  

#3 Fold For Extra Accessories

Does Samsung Z Fold have a pen? Yes, the Samsung Z Fold comes with an additional accessory - the S Pen, which is perfect for paperless note-taking, making it an environmentally-friendly option. This supersmart stylus can convert your handwritten notes to text, let you annotate charts and PDFs fuss-free, and edit videos and images straight from your phone screen.
