Samsung’s new phones, the Galaxy Z Fold5 and Z Flip5 are here - and you can purchase them on Singtel!
These are the flip phones which Samsung is famous for – unless you’ve been living under a rock, you probably know what we’re talking about 😉
These phones can prop themselves up on a table when you want to take a selfie, and you can use the top and bottom screens to multi-task and run different applications.
In this article, we discuss the Z Fold5 and Z Flip5 details and tell you how to purchase them via Singtel.

We’ll go into these points in detail later on, but here’s a quick summary of the leaks to date:
The Galaxy Z Flip5 looks a lot different from the Z Flip4, while the Z Fold5 looks largely the same as the Z Fold4
Both the Z Flip5 and Z Fold5 will be able to fold completely flat (no more gap!)
The phones will be available in Phantom Black, Cream and Icy Blue for the Galaxy Z Fold5 and Lavender, Mint, Cream and Graphite for Galaxy Z Flip5
Prices are predicted to be similar to the Z Flip4 and Z Fold4 prices
The Galaxy Z Flip5 is rumoured to look very different as compared to the Z Flip4.

If rumours are true, this is what we can expect:
A large cover screen (way larger than the Z Flip4’s 1.9” outer screen)
A vertical dual-camera module (compared to the Z Flip4’s horizontal module)
Most importantly, it is rumoured that the Galaxy Z Flip5 will be able to fold completely flat (with no gap next to the hinge).
This is supposedly due to a new “waterdrop-style hinge” that Samsung is implementing.
Why does this matter?
As flip phone users will know, when there’s a gap, this results in a “crease” that’s a bit of an eyesore when you watch videos in full-screen mode.
Without the gap, watching videos will be a lot more enjoyable.
And if you’re a gamer, you’ll also appreciate flip phones with no gaps – this means that it’s easier to use the touchscreen, and you can get more precise when you’re gaming.
Galaxy Z Flip5 aside, the Z Fold5 is also said to be able to lie flat with no gap when the device is closed.
That seems to be the main change for the Z Fold5 – we haven’t heard about any other major changes.
