Galaxy Z Flip5 and Fold5: Delivering Positive Impact for the Planet @SamsungMobileSA #JoinTheFlipSide

Hi Guys, 

Samsung is on a journey to open more possibilities for people and the planet, and essential to this journey is creating a human-centric mobile experience with more recycled materials, without compromise. The new Galaxy Z Flip5 and Fold5 represent yet another step in this commitment to design technology that breaks barriers while aiming to minimize our impact on the environment.

A Wider Variety of Recycled Materials in More Components

Earlier this year, we expanded our innovative use of recycled materials in product design with the Galaxy S23 series, introducing new materials to more components. The Galaxy Z Flip5 and Fold5 advance these efforts, featuring a wider variety of recycled materials1 in more internal and external components than previous Galaxy Z series smartphones. The newest foldable smartphones incorporate pre-consumer recycled aluminum and post-consumer recycled plastic sourced from discarded fishing nets, water barrels and PET bottles. They also scale our use of Corning® Gorilla® Glass Victus® 2, which contains an average of 22% pre-consumer recycled glass content.

Not only did we add more types of recycled materials used in each device, but we also more than doubled the amount of device components that use a minimum of 10% post-consumer recycled plastic or pre-consumer recycled glass, or an average of 22% pre-consumer recycled glass. Both the Galaxy Z Flip5 and Fold52 use recycled materials in 15 device components, an increase from 6 internal components in the Galaxy Z Flip4 and Fold4.

When it comes to packaging, we continue to advance our efforts to reduce the presence of single-use plastic. That’s why the paper for the packaging box3 is made using 100% recycled material4. We also switched to recycled paper material for the front and back cover protector.

A Device Lifecycle that Lasts Longer

The Galaxy Z Flip5 and Fold5 continue Samsung’s work to optimize the longevity and improve the upgradability of our smartphones. Each device comes with five years of security updates and four generations of OS upgrades, helping to extend the product lifecycle.

As a result, we hope that the Galaxy community can reliably enjoy their devices for a longer period of time, while enabling them to make eco-conscious choices in their daily lives.

Aum Namah Shivay!

Till next time...Aashish
Thanks! Cheers!!!

How Different is Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 from Flip 3? @SamsungMobileSA #GalaxyZFlip4 #GalaxyZFlip3

Hi Friends,

I have been using the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip3 for the last year or so and this is my day-to-day main smartphone since that time. I have a love and hate kind of relationship with the device. I do love the fun and features it offers but not a big fan of the camera quality and the battery life on this cute little yet powerful device. Although this is so cute to flip the device that the hate goes away in one flip to see the technology marvel in my hands courtesy Universe who gifted me or granted me with one. Thanks, Samsung! 

Let's do a quick comparison on the new version which was launched yesterday in South Africa by Samsung and will take some time to arrive in your hands. I got to see the smartphone in person at the experience zone at the launch event. I too will try to see if I can get a review unit later in the year. Let's quickly divide the same into pointers for easy analysis - 

1. Battery - The Galaxy Z Flip 4 has 3700mAh which is 400mAh better than the Galaxy Z Flip3 which only has 3300mAh. The difference of 400mAh is enough to take you another 2-3 hours considering the Z Flip3 was lasting 6-8 hours and now with the new device, it can last for around 10-12 hours based on the usage. 

2. Selfie Camera - It's the same no changes done. 10MP F2.4/ Pixel Size 1.22um; FOV 80 degree. 

3. Rear Ultra Wide Camera - It's the same no changes done on the top camera and still is 12 MP F2.2/ Pixel Size 1.12um; FOV 123 degree. 

4. Rear Wide-angle Camera - Though the 12MP Dual Pixel AF/OIS configuration is similar to this one but the sensor has been improved to contain more pixels from 1.4um to 1.8um now in the Galaxy Z Flip4. I can assure you the low light and the overall camera quality is much more better in the new device due to this change as well as software upgrades and processing power. 

FlexCam was hugely featured in the launch event as they told about the various new ways to take your photography and videography game ahead using the new Galaxy Z Flip4. 

5. Aperture - The single aperture has been made into a dual aperture leading to better photograph and video capabilities in the new smartphone. 

6. Overall weight - The weight has only been marginally increased by 4 grams to 187 grams from 183 grams in Galaxy ZFlip3 considering there is a battery improvement of 400mAh this is awesome! 

7. Overall Size - The dimensions of the new device are slimmer than the old one. Folded is 71.9x84.9x17.1 mm (Hinge) - 15.9 mm (Sagging) and when the device is unfolded the dimensions are 71.9x165.2x6.9mm. 

Galaxy Z Flip3 has 72.2x 86.4 x 17.1 mm (Hinge) - 15.9 mm (Sagging). Unfolded 72.2 x 166.0 x 6.9mm 

When the new Galaxy Z Flip4, when flipped has the length is a little bit less by about 1.5mm which is great and there is a reduction in breadth by about 0.3mm making it slimmer and better. The overall length is also reduced when unfolded or open by about 0.8mm. The hinge's dimensions remain the same though the whole hinge mechanism has been changed to make it better and more durable. 

8. Cover Screen - It's the same with no changes but now has more features like Portrait photos can be taken on Galaxy Z Flip4 as portrait mode also comes when you slide to the camera options. Also, the messages, Whatsapp can be reverted back using the cover screen itself which was not there in Galaxy Z Flip3. 

9. Display Screen - It's the same with no changes but the software and apps have been enhanced to provide a lot of multi-apps and multi-tasking opportunities which was not that prevalent in the Galaxy Z Flip3. Samsung Galaxy Display is a wonderful marvel for your eyes and I have never seen a display like the ones on Galaxy top devices. 

10. Colours - The Galaxy Z Flip4 has 4 main colours but there is an option to choose between 5 Bespoke colours too. The main colours are Blue, Graphite, Bora Purple and Pink Gold. So the Cream and Green are taken away from the Galaxy Z Flip3 to make way for the Pink Gold and Blue colours in Galaxy Z Flip4. If you go the Bespoke route for this device, then the probabilities of colour combinations are much higher. There are going to be 2 stores - one in London and the other in New York where you can walk into the buy and customize your devices in the coming months. 

11. Internal Memory - A new third version to have 8GB of RAM and 512 GB of internal storage has been added to the 128GB and 256GB internal storage variants this time for Galaxy Z Flip4. Both the smartphones are 5G and accommodate nano-SIM. 

12. Wireless Power Share - It's available in both versions. It also has now fast wireless charging 2.0 and 

13. Water Resistance - IPX8 is the same in both versions. This time it was not showcased as the main feature of the smartphone as well. 

14. Processor - The new 4nm octa-core processor is driving the new Galaxy Z Flip4 smartphones whereas in Galaxy ZFlip3 it was a 5nm 64-bit Octa-core processor. The new Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 is much better than the Snapdragon 888 on Z Flip 3. 

15. Glass - The new version of corning gorilla glass victus+ is used in Galaxy Z Flip4 making it stronger than the old device. 

Overall, this is something you always wanted in a foldable device and if you have not bought the Flip phone yet, you can definitely try this one out. I am not going to upgrade to this one from Samsung Galaxy Z Flip3 as I will compare Flip to the new Galaxy Fold 4 before I make up my mind as the Fold has been improved significantly in terms of camera configurations as compared to Fold3 in my initial analysis. Look forward to the same and give me a like on my YouTube channel! Cheers!!!

#GalaxyZFold3 5G: Unfold Next-Level Productivity and Entertainment Experiences @SamsungMobileSA

Hi Friends, 

A new chapter has opened in Samsung’s innovation journey. Building on the groundbreaking features of its predecessors, Galaxy Z Fold3 5G is taking the foldable experience to the next level.

Featuring an immersive 7.6-inch Infinity Flex Display, Z Fold3 is a true multitasking powerhouse with unrivalled performance. With Under display camera technology, you can now enjoy uninterrupted viewing experiences and stay fully engaged in your favourite content.

Furthermore, for the first time ever, Samsung is bringing the S Pen experience to a foldable smartphone. By combining the Samsung fan-favorite S Pen with an expansive display and the functionalities enabled by Flex mode, Z Fold3 delivers new ways for users to power their productivity and creativity.

Built with Armor Aluminum and equipped with IPX81 water resistance, Z Fold3 brings together the very best of Samsung’s innovations to deliver a mobile experience unlike any other. Check out the infographic below to learn more.

S Pen is now much more advanced equivalent to or maybe better than the Apple Pencil which also I have not used ever. I have been a fan of the Samsung Note series and bought Samsung Note 8 on the birth of my son in January 2018 and it's time now that I get upgraded to this one. Let's see what the future of 2021 holds for me.

Cheers!!!

The Next Era of #Smartphone Innovation is About to Unfold #SamsungUnpacked @SamsungMobileSA

Hi Friends, 

At last August’s Unpacked event, I (TM Roh) shared my strategy to bring more empowering mobile technology to as many people as possible, especially at a time when they needed it most. Now, around one year later, our world is slowly but surely preparing to reopen in many ways. We’re all yearning for freedom and the possibilities that this new world has to offer thanks to advancements in technology that are set to make our world bigger than it ever was.

This past year, new technologies continued to reshape the way we live. Our collaboration with trusted industry partners allowed us to drive seamless experiences that offer more personalization and versatility than ever. As we enter this new era of agile transformation, I believe that open ecosystems are the only way to accelerate innovation and give people more freedom to create their own experiences that are best for their lifestyles.

Samsung Electronics is poised and ready to unveil visionary, purposeful mobile technology for a better world. In a few weeks, we will unleash our latest and greatest Galaxy Z series to reshape the smartphone category and completely reimagine your experiences.

Life Opens Up with Galaxy

Today, the world needs flexible technologies that give people room to explore. At Samsung, people are at the heart of everything we do. We’re constantly listening to you to ensure that any new device and experience we create really bring meaningful innovations. We want to enrich everyone’s life, not just the lives of a select few. From epic cameras and vivid, immersive viewing experiences to long-lasting batteries and strong security, we’re focusing on what really matters to you.

As we explore new ways to empower you, we often venture into uncharted territory. That’s how we ended up creating a brand-new category with the launch of the Galaxy Fold. And we didn’t stop there. We kept improving the category with our second generation of foldable, the Galaxy Z Fold2 and the Galaxy Z Flip, with more screens and more of the features you now know and love. I’m excited to say our third generation of foldable devices will open up amazing new multitasking capabilities and enhanced durability for even more people around the world.

Samsung is Bringing More People into the Fold

This will be especially important as the world leapfrogs into new frontiers of connectivity that demand open ecosystems and reliable mobile experiences. At Samsung, “open” and “secure” are never mutually exclusive. In fact, our collaborations with trusted industry leaders like Google and Microsoft are why we are able to deliver mobile technology that is secure and optimized for today’s rapidly evolving and interconnected world. We constantly work with key partners to create cutting-edge security solutions that keep your devices and data safe every step of the way. This allows us to give you even more control over your apps, data and privacy, so you can curate your own experience — with total peace of mind.

Collaboration enables us to build mobile experiences that make your life easier and better. It fueled the development of a new unified wearable platform, which we built jointly with Google. On top of your favourite Galaxy apps like Samsung Health and SmartThings, there will be so many others in the new Google Play Store. Furthermore, our One UI Watch user interface is deeply integrated with our other Galaxy devices and provides consistent connectivity between your Galaxy Watch and Galaxy smartphone.

We are also working with Google to enrich our foldable ecosystems with popular apps and services. For our third generation of Galaxy Z phones, we have lined up even more partner apps that make the most of the versatile fold-out format. From hands-free optimized video calling with Google Duo and watching videos in Flex mode on YouTube to multitasking in Microsoft Teams, our foldable ecosystem will offer a wealth of seamless and optimized experiences.

A New Chapter in Smartphone Innovation Is Here

The upcoming Galaxy Z Fold combines the very best that smartphones and tablets offer and delivers completely new ways of working, connecting and creating, while the upcoming Z Flip exhibits an even more refined style, armed with more durable, stronger materials. I firmly believe these devices will answer the call for the versatile mobile technology we need as we navigate the open road ahead.

We are out to set new heights and open up a whole new world of exciting experiences for even more people. I hope you’ll join us as we debut our next Galaxy Z family and share some foldable surprises — including the first-ever S Pen designed specifically for foldable phones. Instead of unveiling a new Galaxy Note this time around, we will further broaden beloved Note features to more Samsung Galaxy devices. In the meantime, mark your calendars and tune in to our Unpacked event on August 11 to see what unfolds.

Cheers!!!
