And if Samsung has made many improvements to its folding smartphones, the manufacturer also offers many advantages for their launch. Along with a trade-in bonus and discounts on several of its products, Samsung is giving away a pair of Galaxy Buds 2 Pro Bluetooth headphones.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5, thin, but powerful
As you don’t change a winning team, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 takes up the very beautiful and well thought out design of its predecessor. So we end up with a luxurious smartphone, neat and above all more pleasant to handle.
Indeed, the integration of a new teardrop-shaped hinge allows the Galaxy Z Fold 5 to fold completely. It thus gains in finesse, now 13.4 mm thick and weighing 253 grams. Suffice to say that it slips very easily into a pocket, jacket or even pants.

If the external 6.2-inch AMOLED screen remains the same as that of the previous generation, the internal 7.6-inch AMOLED panel gains in brightness.

Another notable metamorphosis: its external screen. This has grown to 3.4 inches diagonally. From now on, the user can navigate between his applications and his widgets as on a classic screen without having to open the phone. Contactless payment, video, Google Maps, weather… Everything is accessible from the external screen.
If it takes up the iconic design of its predecessor, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 becomes more solid. It also obtains an IPX 68 certification. In terms of performance, it is not left out since it features a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip, with 8 GB of RAM, 128 GB of storage and a 3,700 mAh battery. A muscular technical sheet that ensures the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 years of very good performance.
