The flip-flop mobile phone, revisited
In the early 2000s, flip phones were all the rage. However, the latter ended up disappearing from radars with the arrival of smartphones, with increasingly large touch screens.
Some consumers, nostalgic for the famous * Clap *, still crossed their fingers that this type of model would return one day. Their wish is now granted with the arrival of the Galaxy Z Flip 5G , a furiously familiar mobile, which does not lack style ...

If the Galaxy Z Fold2 from the South Korean manufacturer offers a folding screen to transform the smartphone into a tablet, the Z Flip 5G uses this same technology to offer, conversely, the most compact phone there is.
Unlike other models on the market, Samsung's retro-futuristic (clamshell) mobile packs very easily when folded up, slipping into any purse or clothing pocket. Like old-fashioned!
A folding screen offering multiple advantages
Unfolded, the Z Flip 5G reveals a sublime 6.7-inch Infinity Flex screen. Folded up, it becomes an ultra compact object that can be stored anywhere. And that's not all, because Samsung's folding mobile has other advantages…
The Flip is the king of multitasking! It is possible to use two different applications - one on the lower part of the screen and another on the upper part - at the same time on the smartphone.
An interface (Flex Mode) has even been specially designed to take advantage of the unique format of the mobile, with some apps cleverly splitting in two.
Thanks to its adjustable hinge, the Z Flip can also lock in one position, and thus offer a hands-free experience.
You can choose an angle of 90 degrees and place your smartphone on a surface to make video calls via Google Duo, watch videos on Youtube or even take photos - using voice control or by showing the palm of your hand - without needing to hold the phone.
The other undeniable advantage of the Z Flip 5G is its form-factor. When folded up, the smartphone protects itself against possible scratches and screen cracks.
The mobile's hinge, incorporating a unique sweeping structure, finally offers clever protection against dust.
Compatibility with the 5G network
Long announced, 5G is now deployed in many cities and will eventually cover the entire French territory.
However, subscribing to a 5G plan with a mobile operator is not the only condition for enjoying the broadband experience.
Equipping a compatible phone is also essential. And that's good sincethe Galaxy Z Flip 5G, like the Galaxy S21 and Galaxy Z Fold2, is one of the Samsung models ready for 5G .
Samsung's clamshell mobile 2.0 is indeed equipped with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 chip, compatible 5G. The latter not only offers top-flight performance, but also offers a loading speed up to 10 times that of the 4G network, to download and watch content in a flash.
A perfectly equipped photophone
Despite its compact size, the technical sheet of the Samsung Z Flip 5G is up to the task! The mobile has a 3,300 mAh battery with intelligent consumption, compatible with wireless charging, fast charging and reverse charging (Wireless PowerShare) to charge other devices such as connected watches or Bluetooth headphones. The smartphone is able to accommodate a dual Sim card, and even an e-sim!
On the photo side, the smartphone has a dual rear photo module with two sensors of 12 Mpx each, as well as a 10 Mpx front camera, to take superb photos and videos whatever the light conditions.
As mentioned earlier, the folding format of the phone allows it to put it anywhere. No more need for a tripod (or a friend who sacrifices himself) to take a selfie or group photos! And that changes everything.
