Welcome to the flip side. There’s still time left to pre-order Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip 5 and Z Fold 5 before the phone drops on (Aug. 11). Last month, Samsung tweeted photos of BTS’ Jimin, RM, J-Hope and Suga debuting in ads for the latest iteration of Samsung’s foldable phones announced during Samsung Unlocked on July 26.
The new Galaxy Z Flip 5 and Fold 5 are equipped with a few upgrades. For example, Galaxy Z Flip 5 has a slimmer hinge design that makes it lie completely flat and enhanced camera capabilities including Flex mode, Flex Cam, Astro Photo and the ability to take hands-free photos.
Galaxy Z Flip 5 ($999.99) is available in 256GB and 512GB and comes in four colors including graphite, cream, lavender and the mint green phone which happens to be J-Hope’s “favorite.”
As Samsung’s “thinnest and lightest” phone to date, Galaxy Z Fold 5 ($1,799.99) has a massive 7.6-inch, multi-screen design and an option for a floating window page. It features an all-new Flex Hinge design, Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2 and Armor Aluminum, and runs on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 Mobile Platform. The Z Fold 5, which Suga is holding in the photo below, is available in icy blue, phantom black and cream.
Suga and RM are seen holding the Z Fold 5 in Samsung’s Twitter thread posted on July 26. “Every moment is a great moment to wear his brightest smile and take the best selfies on the #GalaxyZFlip5,” reads one caption, while the other notes, “As the rapper and songwriter in BTS, it’s no wonder that SUGA loves multitasking features on #GalaxyZFold5 – great when he’s writing lyrics on the go!”
“Samsung is revolutionizing the mobile industry with foldables by setting the standard and continually refining the experience,” TM Roh, president and head of mobile experience business at Samsung Electronics said in a news release. “Every day, more people choose our foldables because they offer an experience people want that they can’t get on any other device. Galaxy Z Flip 5 and Galaxy Z Fold 5 are the latest devices that prove our commitment to meeting the need of our customers through innovative technology.”
Also unveiled during Samsung Unlocked: the Galaxy Watch6, Galaxy Watch6 Classic, Galaxy Tab S9, Galaxy Tab S9+ and Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra.
