MISSISSAUGA, Ontario, July 26, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Samsung Electronics Canada today announced its fifth generation of Galaxy foldables: the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5 and the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5. Thanks to their innovative form factors, both devices offer a unique user experience, sleek and compact design, diverse customization options, and powerful performance.
The new Flex Hinge enhances the foldable experience, offering an aesthetically balanced and solid design while unlocking extraordinary camera capabilities through FlexCam and Flex Window to take photos from creative angles. With strong performance and an optimized battery1 powered by the latest processor2, the Samsung Galaxy Z Series transforms what is possible with a smartphone – open or closed.
“Samsung is revolutionizing the mobile industry with foldables by setting the standard and continually refining the experience,” said TM Roh, President and Head of Mobile eXperience Business at Samsung Electronics. “Every day, more people choose our foldables because they offer an experience people want that they can’t get on any other device. Galaxy Z Flip5 and Galaxy Z Fold5 are the latest devices that prove our commitment to meeting the needs of our customers through innovative technology.”
Thanks to a heritage of innovation and dedication to the foldables category, Samsung has created incredibly versatile devices. With a strong belief in the potential of the foldable format, paired with dedicated R&D and manufacturing capabilities, Samsung has consistently refined and optimized the Galaxy Z Series lineup. From content creation on the new Flex Window3 for Galaxy Z Flip5, to more seamless multitasking on Galaxy Z Fold5, the latest Galaxy foldables aim to meet and exceed the expectations of today’s users.
Further, both the Galaxy Z Flip5 and Galaxy Z Fold5 are carefully designed to meet durability expectations. The main screen is equipped with a shock dispersion layer and a redesigned back for a more solid display4. Along with IPX85 support, Armor Aluminum frames, and Corning® Gorilla® Glass Victus®26 applied to both the Flex Window and back cover, Galaxy Z Flip5 and Galaxy Z Fold5 aim to provide the protection consumers expect, enhanced further by their Flex Hinge.
Galaxy Z Flip5: The ultimate pocketable self-expression tool without compromise
The Galaxy Z Flip5 delivers a stylish foldable experience from a pocket-sized device built for self-expression.
The new Flex Window, now 3.78 times larger7 than the previous generation, offers a range of existing and new capabilities. It provides more customization options including stylish frames and informative graphical clocks that can match the face design of a user’s Galaxy Watch6 Series8. In addition, Galaxy Z Flip5 has a new Flipsuit Case9 that provides device protection with a changeable NFC card, so users can match their Flex Window and case designs for even more personalization options.
From the Flex Window, quickly access useful information. With Widgets, users can check the weather, control music playback, and listen to their favourite music with Media Controller10, or catch up on the latest global stock market updates with the Google Finance widget. View Widgets at a glance and switch between them with a pinch of the screen to activate Multi Widget View. Plus, easily check notifications and access Quick Settings for Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. Without opening the device, you can browse through call history to return missed calls and reply to texts on-the-go using Quick Reply with a full QWERTY keyboard and visibility of chat history. With a quick swipe up on the screen, access Samsung Wallet11 to pay on-the-go, access QR codes and coupons, as well as boarding passes, membership cards, and digital keys12.
With its incredible design and form factor, the Galaxy Z Flip5 also offers the most versatile camera experience on a Samsung Galaxy smartphone. Take high-quality selfies with the rear camera thanks to the larger Flex Window and capture stunning hands-free photos from creative angles with FlexCam. It’s quick and simple to view and edit shots in Flex Mode13 too. Users can review, adjust the colour tone, or delete images easily with the Quick View in the Flex Window. When taking a photo of a friend, Dual Preview14 lets them see themselves in the Flex Window so they can make adjustments in real time to capture their best shot. The camera-stabilizing Super Steady feature enables smooth captures on the go, while Auto Framing15 helps to ensure that no one is left out.
The Galaxy Z Flip5 also adds AI solution improvements to its powerful camera system to bring photos to life in stunning quality. Get creative, even in low light, with improved Nightography capabilities that optimize photos and videos in ambient lighting conditions16. The AI-powered image signal processing (ISP) algorithm corrects visual noise that typically spoils low-light images while enhancing details and colour tone. Even from a distance, take great photos with the Digital 10X Zoom17.
Galaxy Z Fold5: The ultimate productivity powerhouse with a large screen
Offering an immersive, large screen and a long-lasting battery18 in the thinnest, lightest Galaxy Z Fold yet19, Galaxy Z Fold5 is easy to take anywhere, while delivering the most powerful performance in the Galaxy Z Series.
The Galaxy Z Fold has been a pioneer in transforming everyday productivity through a robust, big screen experience, evolving from Multi Window20 and App Continuity21 to a wider range of features including Taskbar22, drag and drop, and optimization of third-party apps. S Pen Fold Edition23 introduced in the third generation Fold in 2021, has also been fine-tuned to be thinner and lighter so it fits easier in your pocket24. These features and tools come together to enable powerful productivity on a large screen that empowers users to complete important tasks, even when on the go.
The improved Taskbar allows for dynamic productivity by enabling users to quickly switch between frequently used apps. Up to four recent apps are at the ready for more efficient working. Newly introduced two-handed drag and drop25 can also help users to ramp up productivity when moving content between apps and screens. Simply touch and hold an image in Samsung Gallery with one finger and use another finger to open the Samsung Notes app to drag-and-drop the image. With hidden pop-up26, an app can continue running in the background, allowing users to watch video content in full screen and chat with friends in a floating pop-up on the side of the screen.
The new slimmer27 and more compact S Pen Fold Edition28 makes real-time annotating and ideation easy while being able to fit more comfortably in the pocket. The Slim S Pen Case29 is nearly the same thickness as a regular case for the Fold and available in a variety of styles and colours30 so users can carry their S Pens in style.
Helping users do more on the go, the 7.6-inch Main Screen31 on Galaxy Z Fold5 provides expansive and uninterrupted viewing so users can enjoy their favourite movie in either portrait or landscape. Plus, peak brightness has increased by more than 30%, which is up to 1750 nits32, for an improved viewing experience outdoors.
Providing users with an immersive gaming experience on the largest Galaxy smartphone screen available, the Snapdragon® 8 Gen 2 Mobile Platform for Galaxy33 enhances graphics and uses AI to enable dynamic gaming and multi-game functionality. The Galaxy Z Fold5 can comfortably handle marathon gaming sessions with its advanced cooling system that dissipates heat for less lag and drop in performance.
Aiming to deliver a more positive impact for the planet
Samsung continues to strive toward the company’s environmental vision, by taking steps in an effort to achieve goals such as reaching net zero carbon emissions by the end of 2030 for the Device eXperience Division.
The Galaxy Z Flip5 and Galaxy Z Fold5 feature34 a wider variety of recycled materials,35 including pre-consumer recycled glass and aluminum, and post-consumer recycled plastics sourced from discarded fishing nets, water barrels and PET bottles.
