After 4 generations, is Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip 5 the “perfect” folding screen phone?
Samsung and Motorola are two of the brands that strongly develop the folding screen phone segment. Currently, the two “big guys” are also preparing to launch the next generation of this flagship line.
The common point between the two brands is the same line of clamshell folding screen phones. So what will the Galaxy Z Flip 5 and Motorola Razr 2023 bring?
The Motorola Razr 2023 is expected to launch on June 1, 2 months earlier than the Galaxy Z Flip 5. Technically, Motorola’s Razr 2023 will be the first phone with an all-screen design on the back. . This is also what the Galaxy Z Flip 5 needs to overcome if it wants to compete more strongly.
Galaxy Z Flip 5 will be the most perfect version of Samsung
The Galaxy Z Flip was a groundbreaking device when it was first launched in early 2020. A modern flip phone. A “dream” is a reality that Samsung has made – an ordinary phone that folds in half is a phone.
Funny enough, at the time, Motorola beat Samsung with the first foldable Motorola Razr in 2019.
At $1,400, the first Galaxy Z Flip is super expensive
Short battery life due to low performance Qualcomm 2020 chip
Low quality camera system
The main screen is easily scratched/damaged
In return, a plus point of Samsung’s first Galaxy Z Flip is the small screen on the back of the device. Smaller than the main screen, the external display only allows users to quickly see the time and control music.
To this day, the latest Galaxy Z Flip 4 brings a much larger external display. However, the outer screen of this folding phone is still too small. In addition, this area also depends quite a lot on the built-in software.

Oppo Find N2 Flip.
Currently, Oppo Find N2 Flip has what Galaxy Z Flip 4 does not have. Oppo phones offer a more “huge” external display, almost as large as the main screen on the first iPhone in 2007; It’s like having a mini iPhone attached to the back of the phone
The big downside on Oppo’s folding screen smartphone is that it doesn’t allow users to use the external screen as a smaller version of the main screen with full functionality.
The external display of the Galaxy Z Flip 5 will change the way users use the phone
Basically, Samsung was late in the “war” of big screens outside. However, the company still has the opportunity to do it better/right.
The technology world expects, users will be able to use the large 6.8-inch screen inside to enjoy content, can also fold the phone in half, step out the door and use the phone with the external screen like a… miniature version.

The advantage of Galaxy Z Flip 5 is its compact design, easy to pocket.
The great convenience on the Galaxy Z Flip is that users do not have to hold in their hands a heavy phone with a large screen that is almost impossible to operate with one hand. If Samsung (and Motorola) follow the path of Oppo Find N2, their “super products” will bring the best to users.
Besides, the Galaxy Z Flip 5 will not simply bring a new external display. Tech enthusiasts also expect:
Higher performance and efficiency (longer battery life)
Improved camera system . (Viewfinder used by an external monitor)
Inner screen creases are less noticeable (thanks to the new teardrop hinge) and there is little or no opening when the phone is folded
No price increase compared to its predecessor
Let’s wait and see if the Galaxy Z Flip 5 (or Motorola Razr 2023) has a large external screen, is it more attractive than the Galaxy S23 Ultra?
