HIGHLIGHTS

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 could see a major design upgrade over its predecessor.

This design change of it feels reminiscent of Motorola Razr 40 Ultra.

While we are at comparing the phones, let’s take in all the clamshell foldable phones launched this year.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 renders have leaked again. This time it appears to be the official marketing material. This gives us an idea of what the Z Flip 5 design would be like. Let’s compare the design with that of its competitors. That includes the Motorola Razr 40 Ultra, Vivo X Flip, and Oppo Find N2 Flip.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5’s design highlight is how big its outer display is. This is expected to be a 3.4-inch panel. You could get to control music playback, use Google and other apps, get notifications, and see the date and time, as well as other widgets. 

The phone could ship with Android 13-based OneUI 5.1 that’s optimized for the folding format and particularly for this cover screen. 

Samsung is expected to equip the clamshell folding phone with a 6.7-inch FHD+ 120Hz AMOLED display, Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC, a 3700mAh battery with 25W fast charging, dual 12 MP cameras at the back and a 12MP selfie shooter.

Motorola Razr 40 Ultra

Motorola Razr 40 Ultra is already out in the Chinese market. It is set to launch in India soon with the “world’s largest” cover display. That is 3.6 inches diagonally. There are widgets here for music controls, weather, etc. You can also see Google Maps navigation marks, calls, messages, and app notifications.

Vivo X Flip

Vivo X Flip is outfitted with a 3-inch screen. So, it isn’t as big as the above ones. There is a massive circular camera island below this screen. The screen doesn’t envelop this island.

Besides supporting some first-party apps, you can also reply to chats with text, audio, emoticons, and GIFs, play lightweight games, make cashless payments, see navigation guides, unlock cars, and see cute pet wallpapers.

This is not available in India.

Oppo Find N2 Flip

Oppo Find N2 Flip’s cover screen is vertical, unlike the rest of the phones in this list. It officially has a Spotify widget, a speech-to-text feature on certain messaging apps, and the usual timepiece and weather widgets as well as notification alerts. However, thanks to a 3rd party app called CoverScreen OS, you can enjoy voice dictation, a full QWERTY keyboard, and any app on its 3.2-inch screen.
