The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5G has recently been released, packing a powerful 5G-enabled Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 Plus chipset into the Galaxy Z Flip body for a stylish result. Available in two colors (Mystic Gray and Mystic Bronze), this 5G version is the natural update to the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip phone that was released in February 2020.
While many of the updates outside of the 5G-enabled chipset are incremental, there's plenty of exciting tech to tempt anyone who was interested by the original Z Flip, but was put off by the 4G SoC. One of the most interesting upgraded features is the Flex mode, which automatically splits the display into two 4" screens, which means you can view content on the top half of the display and control the bottom half yourself.
