Folding screen technology is to "cram" as large a screen as possible in a limited volume. The general idea is to double the screen size in common phone sizes, similar to the Galaxy Z Fold. The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5G and Motorola's Rarz reduce the fuselage area by half under the condition of normal screen size.
The Galaxy Z Flip 5G's technical route is to pursue the ultimate lightweight portability. Its real machine also did, weighing 183g and only 6.9-7.2mm in deployment. The handle after unfolding is so thin that people can't put it down.
parameter
Galaxy Z Flip 5G can basically be understood as a "core changing" Z Flip, which directly uses a large number of Z Flip hardware. In addition to the new color matching, the appearance is almost the same.
The main change is that the SoC of Galaxy Z Flip 5G is upgraded to Snapdragon 865+and WiFi 6 is added. But the camera hardware lags behind the Samsung S20/Note20 series. The main camera is not the IMX555 of 1.8 μ m, the S5K2L3 of 1.4 μ m ultra wide angle, nor the telephoto, and the front aperture is smaller (only F2.4). Of course, users who will buy this camera should pay more attention to the bulge of the camera than to the quality of photos.
In terms of price, the Galaxy Z Flip 5G is 12499 yuan. For Galaxy Z Flip, the official store of JD now costs 9999 yuan. For users interested in this type of product, the previous generation seems to be a more cost-effective solution (potential buyers of Z Flip 5G: do you teach me how to do things?)
appearance
Galaxy Z Flip 5G Fog Gold Back Cover, emmmm, How to put it? There is texture, but beauty is far from enough.
The projection of the camera is very slight. The previous generation of hidden auxiliary screen is now decorated with gold rings.
General interface layout, right volume, power, left sim card slot. The whole middle frame inclines towards the back cover, and the body is very thin, so that the middle frame in the Type-C interface area is still extended.
Personally, the most textured part of the whole machine is the shaft. Different materials and surface treatments complement each other.
The 2636 * 1080 AMOLED flexible screen on the front has a ratio of 21.96667:9, which is dwarfed by Sony Dafa. However, the proportion is not long enough. The APP is still too flat when split up and down.
When folding, there is also a fixed strip that will bend in the opposite direction on the central axis of the curved screen, interesting。
The border on the front of the screen was dyed in black and gold, which was "incomprehensible". The earpiece on the top has a thin hole, and the corner at the bottom of the screen has a unique feature of the clamper - cushion.
A circle of black border wider than Note20 Ultra is reserved around the edge of the screen and the camera.
Surprisingly, the Galaxy Z Flip 5G is not only equal in width on all sides, but also has good border control.

The color and brightness of the folded area of the curved screen are normal when bending.
The screen indentation in the folded area is relatively obvious. In the scene with good light, it is easy to find even if it is directly opposite. In addition, the color of the screen is familiar to Samsung.
In terms of hand feel, the Galaxy Z Flip 5G is really cool, comparable to the Galaxy S20 series, so thin that you can't help playing with it. It will feel foreign matter when folded and stuffed into the pocket, but it is not too thick. But I guess it's more suitable for ladies' bags.

Super night view can improve dark details and better noise reduction, but there will be some sacrifice in picture details and contrast, which shows the waiting time of night view mode. Usually, it is recommended to use the full automatic mode.
user's experience
For such rich and elegant mobile phones, their sub project reference line is not a flagship product. As long as there are no big and short boards, the flip and fold screen experience will be successful:
The hardness of the Galaxy Z Flip 5G screen is OK, slightly harder than the normal plastic film for mobile phones. It's not a big problem to poke your nails lightly, but you can't scratch them (don't ask me how I know, listen, my heart and wallet are crying);
The screen pivot allows the phone to be folded and fixed at various angles, which can be used like a makeup mirror. However, due to the gender difference, I can't understand what experience improvement this folding form can bring. The sleeve length mobile phone screen is only "relatively suitable" for split screen use. After split screen use, the APP will still be "square" and not very practical.
The system is the One UI with the longest user manual on the earth. It is still very easy to use with a little effort. It's only 8GB of memory. Under Samsung's ancestral memory destruction technology, I don't know how long it will last.
What else can Snapdragon 865+say about performance? If you don't play a large game, you can keep it smooth for two years (when the system is not vulnerable).
It's hard to say how long it will last and how much it will charge. The 3300mAh battery is small on a 4G mobile phone, not to mention a 5G mobile phone with a 6.7 inch screen. The power is still dropping violently. It is still the ancestral 9V/1.67A, 15W, and really awesome.
The camera is the normal level of Samsung last year, with heavy image sharpening, high contrast and saturation, and gorgeous colors to please the eye. It is superior to the mid-level standard of the current flagship, which requires no trouble in taking photos. Ultra wide angle usability is OK, far better than that of iPhone.
summary
In 2020, the folding screen will be more perfect than the original product of the previous year, but it is not suitable for normal users for the time being.
Even if you can afford to use the "iPhone 11 Pro Max 512GB Dark Night Green National Bank's first full-size non Hainan duty-free version", the Galaxy Z Flip 5G is a "affordable, but not repairable" mobile phone. Every new scratch will be accompanied by a background sound of "120GB NVMe SSD-1250GB NVMe SSD-1500GB NVMe SSD-1".
After all, unlike Cui Yehe, the director who has already lived in No. 1 Shenzhen Bay, I am just a poor Swan Castle resident. I have to be careful when using the Galaxy Z Flip 5G. I'm still too poor. I have to fold it before putting it in my pocket when I take it out, which seriously affects the portable experience I should have. However, it is not convenient to take out Gucci, Chanel, LV, Herm è s and Prada's bags at any time, which seriously affects the elegant experience that should be.
More expensive may not be better, but the money does make a very different phone. The Galaxy Z Flip 5G is a phone with physical recognition. The Galaxy Z Fold 2 is a bit commercial and Geek like. However, the Galaxy Z Flip 5G uses 2/3 of the money for less than 1/3 of the screen area, which shows that we are indifferent to the cost performance.
It is also a lightweight and foldable Galaxy Z Flip 5G, rich and elegant.
