Galaxy Z Flip 5 size comparison

The Galaxy Z Flip 5 builds upon the success of its predecessor, the Galaxy Z Flip 4, but this time, it's packing even more upgrades. The first thing that catches the eye is its impressive zero-gap design, addressing a notable concern from previous models. Plus, the phone is slim and light, making it a delightful choice for those seeking a pocket-friendly device.

Not only that, but when folded, the Galaxy Z Flip 5 claims its spot as one of the smallest smartphones around. Let's dive into a size comparison with its predecessor and other clamshell foldable smartphones on the market.

We couldn't resist making a comparison between the Galaxy Z Flip 5 and Galaxy Z Flip 4. In terms of size, there's not much difference to note. However, where the real magic lies is in the design upgrades and internal improvements.

When it comes to the newly launched Motorola Razr Plus, it looks like it won't be dethroning the Galaxy Z Flip after all. While the front screen on the new Razr Plus is a game-changer, allowing you to do everything, including, for example, using TikTok and Maps, without having to unfold the phone, the Galaxy Z Flip 5 has stepped up its game and now too can run apps on its cover screen. The Galaxy Z Flip 5 and Motorola Razr Plus both feature gapless closure to prevent dust entry. The Galaxy Flip 5 has flat sides, and the Razr Plus has curved edges which makes it slightly easier to open due to its inward-curved flaps. Both phones share the same thickness and weight of 6.7 ounces (189 grams), but the Razr Plus stands taller.

Let’s not forget the Oppo Find N2 Flip, boasting a compact body, seamless hinge, and a generous external screen. What's more, it comes at a slightly more affordable price compared to the Galaxy Z Flip 5 and other clamshell foldable phones in the market. It's definitely a contender worth considering, although it is heavier and slightly bigger. 

So, to put the battle to rest, the most compact contender is undoubtedly the Galaxy Z Flip 5, but it still has some tough competition to face.

Because of its smart flip design, it's easy to compare the Flip 5 to regular smartphones that don't fold. While the outer screen doesn't fully work like a regular display, we'll mainly focus on the foldable inner screen for our comparison. Let's see how the unfolded Flip 5 competes against regular smartphones.

Even when unfolded, the Galaxy Z Flip 5 remains surprisingly small, though it stands tall. The Flip 5 is generally smaller than most Android smartphones in terms of its size. The Galaxy S23 comes close in size and if you are trying to decide between Samsung's new flip phone and a regular smartphone, take a look at our comparison: Galaxy Z Flip 5 vs Galaxy S23. When you put the Flip 5 next to the Galaxy S23 Ultra and the Google Pixel 7 Pro, you'll quickly see how pleasantly small the Flip 5 truly is.
