Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 and Z Fold 5: A Review of the Latest Models

The author initially criticized the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 for its limited support of full apps on its Flex Window outer display, unlike its rival Motorola Razr+. However, after a reader informed the author about the Good Lock companion app, which allows the Z Flip 5 to run full apps, the author now finds it incredibly useful and believes Samsung should make it a native feature. The author praises the convenience of accessing favorite social media apps and games through the Flex Window, and highlights the smooth performance of various apps, including games and video calls. The author suggests that Samsung should unlock full app access with the Flex Window in future iterations of its OneUI experience.

"Exploring the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5: A Hands-on Experience"

Samsung's Galaxy Z Flip 5 offers a fully flat silhouette and a redesigned hinge, along with a larger exterior display called the "Flex Window." However, the limited functionality of the Flex Window and the lack of access to apps on the exterior screen leave users wanting more. The phone competes directly with Motorola's Razr+ and is priced at $1,000. While the flatness of the new hinge design is a selling point, the crease is still noticeable. The camera quality is not on par with other high-end phones, but the Flip 5 does offer some fun use-cases with its exterior screen. The Flex Mode has been improved, allowing for app controls in the bottom portion of the screen. Overall, the Flip 5 fails to impress as a foldable phone, and users may consider Motorola's offering instead.
