Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip 5 finally fixes the foldable’s biggest problem

The Pixel Fold may be my personal favorite foldable of the moment, but the Galaxy Z Flip is the device that made me believe — and you can never take that away from it. The first Galaxy Fold was novel, of course, but the product has always been a bit unwieldy and prohibitively expensive. The first Flip arrived with a take on the space that was new and retro, all at once.
Most of us left the world of clamshells long ago, of course, but the form factor always made sense. Price aside, the distinction between the Flip and Fold is a matter of preference — do you value portability or the largest screen possible? The new Galaxy Z Fold has you covered on the latter, with a 7.6-inch screen to the Flip’s 6.5 inches, which places it more the realm of large phones, rather than tablets.
