In the many flip or clamshell folding phones, in my eyes the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5 is the best on the market. First only Samsung offers a device like this in Malaysia, secondly the good One UI support for flip devices and thirdly the large external screen.
Speaking of the large external screen, the Galaxy Z Flip5 now uses the name Flex Window and no longer "cover screen". The size is 3.4-inches and now the phone can be used without unfolding. For example, you can now reply to WhatsApp using the keyboard and type whatever text you want instead of being limited to emojis only.
WHAT ELSE?
Not only WhatsApp can be used on this device. If the open state of the Galaxy Z Flip5 supports the FlexCam camera mode, in the closed state there is also an interesting feature. The beautiful moments you want to keep in memory are now accessible by simply pressing the power button twice to access the camera and raising your hand to activate the shutter with gesture control.
If you feel tired to use this Flex Window, Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5 also supports interesting customization to further personalize this flip phone. You can add various widgets, change the theme, change the watch face, change the background image like a Samsung Galaxy Watch6 smart watch or even use your own video as a moving background.
Good Lock Gives a Good Look to Your Flip5
You may not know about this. Samsung has a Good Lock application that allows you to completely customize the interface of the device. This application has been around for years, only recently launched for the Malaysian market.
With Good Lock you can make your device look beautiful or good looking. In addition to offering a variety of interesting themes and adding new features that were not in One UI before, Good Lock can also bring any application you want to Flex Window.
This means that you can play Genshin Impact, Monopoly Go, open Facebook, access Waze, use Instagram, TikTok or X directly on the external screen with a similar user experience when using the Galaxy Z Flip5 in the open state.
Don't worry, if you just want to listen to music – the Spotify app is also fully accessible on Flex Windows. To me it brings back memories of using old devices that had roughly the same screen size but were more powerful. Even Netflix you can watch, how do you remember to stream your favorite movie or TV series quietly in the office? But don't forget to wear Galaxy Buds to avoid the boss.
Samsung X Google
Everyone knows that Samsung and Google have collaborated in making software for foldable phones a success. Because it's only on the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5 exclusively, Google applications have been optimized for use on the Flex Window.
You can access Google Messages, Google Maps and YouTube with the appropriate interface. I've been using this Galaxy Z Flip5 for months and when driving I only have Google Maps on the Flex Window then put the device on the car dashboard.
Flex Window Is A "Window" For You To See A Bright Future
This large probe screen is like a magic mirror in any fantasy movie. It can do almost anything that the inner screen can do. For a good flip phone, this Flex Window has become a benchmark that no competitor dares to do. With software updates up to 4+5 years, your future with this device is also guaranteed.
