‘The Galaxy Z Flip 5 experiences a $200 price reduction during Labor Day sale.’
Samsung’s flagship foldable smartphone, the Galaxy Z Fold 5, is currently on sale at a discounted price of $1,500, which is $300 less than its usual price of $1,800. This Labor Day offer is available on Amazon. This version of the Galaxy Z Fold 5 comes with 256GB of storage.
The Galaxy Z Fold 5 is Samsung’s latest iteration of its foldable smartphone series. It features a new Flex Hinge that eliminates the gap between the two halves of the screen, making the device thinner while still offering IPX8 water resistance. The Z Fold 5 also comes with upgrades to various components, including a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 Mobile Platform chipset. It offers improved multitasking capabilities and has received positive reviews for its performance.
In our review, we gave the Galaxy Z Fold 5 a score of 86. While it is a solid phone, there is a sense that Samsung could do more to innovate and lower the base price of its foldable devices. The Z Fold 5 offers notable features such as the Flex Hinge and a lack of a gap between the two sides of the screen. However, it remains somewhat bulky when folded, and there have been no significant updates to the cameras. Additionally, there is no space to accommodate an S Pen.
For those who prefer a vertically folding screen, Samsung also offers the Galaxy Z Flip 5 at a discounted price. The variant with 256GB of storage has dropped from $1,000 to $800. The Z Flip 5 features a document folder-shaped external display and a Flex Hinge, making it a compact and stylish option for users.
Overall, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Z Flip 5 are among the top choices for consumers looking for foldable smartphones. The current discounts on these devices may make them more appealing options for potential buyers.
