New upgraded processor

The device comes with a more powerful processor than Galaxy Z Flip 4's Snapdragon 8+ Gen1, the new device will be more energy efficient. The device gets a new 8Gen 2 Soc processor, which makes the phone more efficient and enhances its performance across the board.

Flex Hinge

Samsung has redesigned its Galaxy Z Flip 5's hinge, allowing the device to close completely. The new Flip 5 now closes completely without leaving any substantial gap. 

The device is a bit slimmer as compared to its predecessor, making its weight the same. Unlike the Find N2, which required some effort to open the device with one hand, that's not the case with Z Flip 5. 

Flip 5 Shortcomings

The device looks worth buying, but it does have some points where Samsung could do better.

The Galaxy device seems identical in terms of Cameras, batteries and display to its predecessor. The device still comes with its 25W charging, which is quite low compared to its competitors.

Even after all these shortcomings, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 is one of the best flip phones developed by Samsung, and it's the most refined as well.

It will be interesting to see whether the Flip 5 will out-compete its competitors at a hefty cost of Rs 99,999.
