The Galaxy Z Flip 5 was launched with the aim of further improving Samsung’s compact folding line, by bringing some specific improvements and maintaining the features that already worked in its predecessor, the Galaxy Z Flip 4.
By putting the two generations side by side, do we have a good evolution from one year to the next? The TudoCelular Comparative tells you the answer in detail now.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5
If when opened, these devices have the same dimensions, when closed, we already see the first change between them. The Korean has improved the hinge of the Z Flip 5, to make the smartphone fully closed and reduce the width compared to its predecessor.
Like the Z Flip 4, the newest one also features aluminum construction and a glass rear, which now has the Gorilla Glass Victus 2, more recent than the Victus Plus of the old model. IPx8 certification is present in both, to guarantee protection once morest water.

On the back, Samsung has changed the orientation of the two cameras to horizontal, which leaves more space for its larger secondary display. The notch in the form of a hole has not changed at the front, as well as the fingerprint reader on the side, integrated into the power button. Too bad the crease wasn’t improved and is still quite noticeable.
These cell phones remain without offering storage expansion, due to the lack of a microSD card slot. In connectivity, sixth generation Wi-Fi and NFC technology integrates the two, while Bluetooth has evolved from 5.2 to 5.3 in the latest Galaxy.
With advances to the fifth generation, the Z Flip 5 takes the lead in this duel.

If we were to consider the internal screen, this would almost be a draw. That’s because Samsung put a 6.7-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display in both generations, with the same Full HD+ resolution and support for HDR10+ technology, to improve streaming playback.
The refresh rate also remained at 120 Hz, which delivers satisfactory fluidity for system animations and compatible games. What will change from one to the other is the brightness rate, which has now received improvements and is much stronger than its predecessor.
When we go to the external panel, the differences are much bigger. The Z Flip 4’s 1.9-inch Super AMOLED display has evolved to a 3.4-inch in the fifth generation, with higher resolution and better scratch protection. A pity that the rate of this secondary display is still at 60 Hz.
This is an easy spot for the Z Flip 5.

As
Samsung preferred not to touch the sound part and kept a stereo system consisting of two speakers. In other words, the good immersive experience is present in them, regardless of which of the duo you choose.
With the same sound, we can say that the power has not changed either and remains satisfactory. Their quality doesn’t disappoint either and provides a good balance between bass, mids and highs. The manufacturer has not inserted a physical headphone jack into these devices, nor does it send any adapted accessories in the box.
No differences between them, we give one point for each.

System
The Z Flip 5 already has Android 13 as a native operating system, while the Z Flip 4 still contains version 12 of the “little robot” pre-installed. As both are part of the brand’s list of cell phones that will receive four software updates and five years of security packages, we will have a slightly greater longevity on the latest Galaxy.
The mobile network supports 5G technology in these devices, to ensure always fast internet. Fluidity won’t be a problem in these models either, due to the 120 Hz rate they have.
In terms of features, both have some already famous brands. We are mainly talking regarding Edge Screen shortcuts and customizations with Good Lock. Too bad the Korean still left out the DeX mode of the Flip line.
With the external panel, what used to be just inserting elements with avatars, now the experience is more complete. The 2023 Galaxy is capable of showing the temperature, controlling music, using Samsung Wallet for payments, activating Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, in addition to answering messages directly from the secondary display.
It’s point for the Z Flip 5 in system.

Performance
The Z Flip 5 comes equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, as expected from the successor of the Z Flip 4 with its Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1. Has there been a practical advance in performance as well? In our multitasking tests, we noticed a very modest evolution, with just one second of speed more for the recent Galaxy.
In the benchmarks alone, we will see this improvement be greater. The fifth-generation foldable scored 48% higher than its predecessor on AnTuTu. In terms of games, both are capable of running all the games we’ve tried at maximum quality and with great fluidity.
The point goes to the Galaxy Z Flip 5.

Battery
Samsung preferred not to change the battery and kept the same with a capacity of 3,700 mAh in each other. Does the newer hardware have any impact here? We realize yes. Our standardized tests showed a gain of two hours more autonomy for the Z Flip 5, which closed in almost 24 hours of total duration.
When we go to charging, both are limited to the brand’s 25W power adapter. Even so, we’ve seen the latest Galaxy take nearly 20 minutes less in the socket to complete the process.
With better autonomy and faster charging, the Z Flip 5 scores the point.

The Korean was also conservative in this regard and inserted the same set consisting of a main camera and an ultrawide camera with the same resolution of 12 MP each in both.
At least, the software is better on the newer Galaxy and is now capable of less aggressive post-processing on images. The result appears in photos with more detail in shadows and even more vivid colors. Apart from the night mode that avoids more noise on the Z Flip 5 than on the fourth generation.
Ultrawide also takes superior pictures on the 2023 model, especially in low-light locations. Too bad this wider lens of the two doesn’t have an autofocus, to record macros with better quality.
The Z Flip 5’s improvements give it the camera point.

Photos taken with the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5
The camcorder of these smartphones supports recording in 4K at 60 fps with the main one, or at 30 fps with the ultrawide one. The quality pleases in general, either in the image or in the sound capture of them. The duo still delivers efficient optical stabilization to deal with shakes and agile focus.
Without major differences, we are tied in videos.

The front camera of both is the same 10 MP. What has changed is the focal aperture, which has become larger on the Z Flip 5 and allows you to record clearer selfies in night environments. At the very least, you’ll have an efficient portrait mode with good cropping no matter what you choose.
Another advantage of the 2023 Galaxy is in the frontal shooting in 4K at 60 fps, while the older one does not go beyond 30 fps here. Remembering that both can take advantage of the rear set for selfies, with the external screen as a guide.
We have one more point for the recent model.

These two generations of Samsung foldables officially arrived in Brazil. The Galaxy Z Flip 5 was available for a suggested price of BRL 8,000, a little more expensive than the BRL 7,000 price tag at the Galaxy Z Flip 4 launch. and it can already be found in the range of R$ 3,000, practically half of what we still see in its successor.
So the Z Flip 4 scores the last point.

In the confrontation of generations of Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip line, the fifth generation showed that it had a consistent evolution in relation to the predecessor cell phone.
The Z Flip 5’s design is more compact when closed; the inner screen is brighter, and the outer screen has increased in size; the latest system allows for greater longevity; performance is faster; the battery lasts longer unplugged and takes less time to return to 100%. Not to mention its set of cameras that take better photos and selfies in any environment, thanks to the Korean software improvements.
The Z Flip 4, on the other hand, has the price as its main point in its favor. That’s because it costs half of its successor and can be a good option for those who want to enter the world of folding, but don’t care regarding the newest evolutions, nor do they want to pay the price of the current generation at this time.
RESULT
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5: 9 POINTS
More modern and compact design when closed Brighter inner screen and larger outer Screen Powerful and balanced stereo sound System with greater longevity and extra resources Better performance Longer battery life and faster charging Rear cameras with more details during the day and less noise at night Videos in 4K at 60 fps with good stabilization and snappy focus Clearer night selfies and front-facing footage in 4K at 60 fps
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4: 3 POINTS
Powerful and balanced stereo sound Videos in 4K at 60 fps with good stabilization and agile focus Lowest price in the current Brazilian market
