Delhi : The world has been talking about foldable smartphones ever since Samsung, a South Korean tech titan, introduced its foldable Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 on July 26. The latest flip-style foldable innovation from Samsung will undoubtedly increase competition. Some people even believe that the Flip 5 is the best foldable smartphone available. 

Cost of the Galaxy Z Flip 5

The smartphone is offered by Amazon and the official Samsung website for Rs 99,999.

Specifications for the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5

Flex Window

When compared to its predecessor, Samsung's foldable smartphone boasts several improvements. The little 1.9-inch panel has been replaced with a larger 3.4-inch AMOLED display called the Flex Window. The Flex window can be customized by the user to display settings like as notification, battery, time, etc.

Other widget possibilities include weather, a fast dialer, an alarm, a health widget, and more. Don't forget that the cover screen itself also allows you to reply to messages.

New upgraded processor

The new gadget will use less energy because it has a more powerful chipset than the Snapdragon 8+ Gen1 found in the Galaxy Z Flip 4. The phone receives a new 8Gen 2 Soc CPU, which improves the efficiency and overall performance of the gadget.

Flex Hinge

The hinge on Samsung's Galaxy Z Flip 5 has been changed to enable full closure. The brand-new Flip 5 no longer has any noticeable gaps and shuts entirely. Despite being slightly thinner than its predecessor, the device weighs the same. Z Flip 5 is easier to open with one hand than the Find N2, which needed considerable effort to do so. 

Flip 5 drawbacks

Although the product appears to be worthwhile, there are few areas where Samsung could improve. The Galaxy gadget appears to have the same cameras, battery, and display as its forerunner. In comparison to its rivals, the device's 25W charging capacity is still relatively low. Even with all these flaws, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 is still one of Samsung's greatest and most sophisticated flip phones. It will be fascinating to see if the Flip 5 will outperform its rivals despite costing a whopping Rs 99,999.

Expensive repairs

Despite being one of Samsung's top products, the gadget requires expensive repairs. The primary (inner) screen costs Rs 21,188, while the price of the exterior screen is Rs 5,507.

The price of the back glass panel is Rs 1,136, while the motherboard repair starts at Rs 27,444 for the 256GB storage variant. The price to fix the battery is Rs 1,513. The GST and service fees are not included in any of these rates.
