Short description Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5G

This is a smartphone on Android 10 with a very fast and productive processor, with a huge touchscreen size, with a good camera that has 2 modules (12 MP Wide, 12 MP UltraWide), and the front camera here turned out to be absolutely ordinary. The body of Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5G has received a non-standard form factor: folder (flip phone) with a flexible touch screen. This type of case began to be popular in 2019-2020, this became possible primarily due to the technologies, and, of course, marketers had to justify the inflated expectations of customers for new products. And Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5G has such features: additional small screen with a diagonal 1.1" Super AMOLED, a slot for two SIM cards, folding screen (so that the phone body can be folded), cut-out notch above the screen (so that a selfie camera, speakers and additional sensors are placed there).

Versions: SM-F707B (International); SM-F707U (USA); SM-F707U1 (USA Unlocked); SM-F707W (Canada); SM-F707N (South Korea); SM-F7070 (China, Hong Kong).

Android version and market relevance

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5G was announced by the company Samsung in July 2020 and in the same year official sales began in stores. The device was placed in the series of smartphones Samsung Galaxy Z. Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5G works on Android 10, but, unfortunately, this version of the software has not been updated. And before listing all the main characteristics of this model, it is important to note that in Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5G implemented support for working with two SIM cards and support for 5G networks (all 5G-smartphones).

And if you want to look at the competitors of this smartphone, then in our catalog on the page “Smartphones of the year 2020” all models of the same year are presented. And it will also be useful to look at the page with smartphones at a similar price, like Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5G — this is the price segment page “Flagships smartphones from $500”.

Screen, body and battery

Please note that the body of the smartphone has a flip-shape form. Yes, we were not mistaken. Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5G is really a flip smartphone on Android. This feature of the body affects many other parameters of this model. Here is a list of the most important:

  • The diagonal of the main screen in the open position can be doubled, because the screen is flexible (see the catalog for all smartphones with flexible screens);
  • The smartphone has an additional 1.1-inch Super AMOLED-screen, which you need when the flip body is folded (all smartphones with two screens are also collected in our catalog);
  • Higher battery capacity because there is more physical space for the battery;
  • The weight of the device has become one and a half or even two times more than that of similar models;
  • The main camera can be used as a selfie camera, so you get better quality portrait photos;
  • And, of course, the high price of this model, because the cost of manufacturing technology for smartphones with flexible screens is still very high.;
  • But, the undoubted plus of such a flip smartphone is the uniqueness and interest of the friends, colleagues and partners around you, perhaps even some special status.

We advise you to immediately watch the video reviews and photos from real life of this smartphone. All promotional materials from the manufacturer will only show the pros of this flip smartphone. But with its high price, you need to find out both the pros and cons of this model before buying. Now let’s move on to describing other important characteristics in more detail.

It is worth paying attention to good flexible 6.7-inch capacitive Dynamic AMOLED touchscreen smartphone Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5G. A real shoveler, which is great for watching videos, surfing the Internet and full-screen games. You will be very surprised at how much information is placed on one screen. But, unfortunately, with one hand you will not be comfortable with using a smartphone. In addition, Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5G has very small frames around the screen (speaking in numbers, the screen occupies from 80% to 90% of the area of the entire front panel. And an almost invisible hole in the screen adds recognition to the smartphone and increases the screen area, but does not increase the physical size. The thickness of the case is 17.3 mm. This also accommodated a battery capacity of 3 300 mAh.

Main camera and selfie camera

A selfie camera is located in front of the screen with one lens: 10 MP Wide. Among all the cameras, this we attributed to the segment weak cameras.

The main camera got several modules (dual camera smartphones): 12 MP Wide + 12 MP UltraWide, located on the back of the body. We defined it in the segment very weak cameras at the moment. If you have a little more money, then we suggest adding and buying one of the camera phones, which we sorted separately in our catalog. Why do you need a camera with multiple modules in a smartphone? And what are the advantages of such a camera? This allows you to take very beautiful portraits with bokeh (blurred background) effect. And an additional lens with a different focal length provides a high-quality approximation (zoom) for photography. In addition, software algorithms can improve the quality of the photo after processing frames from each camera module.

Processor and Internal Memory

The speed of the smartphone affects not only the optimized software (the newer Android, the better), but also the characteristics of the hardware: the processor and the amount of RAM. Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5G has 8-core Snapdragon 865+. RAM here with size 8 GB.

The amount of built-in memory in the smartphone is 256 GB and there are no other options to choose from.

Price for Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5G: buy or not to buy?

Life is fleeting, and the life of a smartphone on the mobile market in general can be compared with the life of a butterfly. And all because the producers of android-smartphones do not always want to support their devices and prefer to release a new model in six months. Therefore, our task is to help you choose the actual smartphone today, which is being sold and will be still relevant for at least the next six months. If Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5G you find among DROID smartphones in our catalog, you can safely buy it now, and if you do not find it, then its better already do not buy.
