To make changes in the future, we need to take notes from our past. This is a message that rings true for many industries – especially tech.

Samsung is a pioneer in creating smart devices that innovate and elevate user experiences in a way that propels convenience and style.

Their latest flagship the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5 is no exception to this. We got our hands on the exciting new device packaged in a familiar Y2k format to get a closer look at what it can do.

WATCH as we unbox the new Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5 below:

Flex your capabilities…

With so many exciting features to sift through – Samsung takes the best of its predecessor Galaxy Z flip and fold phones and takes them to the next level.

One of the key stand-out features is the 3.4-inch Super AMOLED 60hz external screen that’s protected with Gorilla® Glass Victus® 2 – known as the ‘Flex Window’. This feature allows you to scroll through some of your favourite apps, make quick calls, watch videos, and take pictures with ease and convenience without having to open your device fully.

And paired with a 6.7-inch dynamic AMOLED foldable display screen that doesn’t wane on vibrancy and quality – users can play, watch, and work all in one pocket-friendly device ecosystem.

Bolstered with a camera that's kitted for any light setting – you’re able to get crisp and vibrant images in the day and night – especially with the nightography setting. While the selfie camera on the opened phone offers you a 10-megapixel resolution for smooth and vibrant selfies, you’re also able to up your selfie game using the external screen and camera.

The back camera that sits on your external screen offers you a 12-megapixel main camera and ultra-wide camera – allowing you to get landscape and selfie images that fit in the entire scene or your entire friend group with ease.
