The Elec as reported that shipments of the new Galaxy foldable screen phone were 8% to 10% higher than the Galaxy Z Flip and Z Fold 4 in the same period last year. Additionally, the outlet claimed that the Galaxy Z Flip 5 accounted for 60% to 65% of shipments, while the Z Fold 5 accounted for 30% to 35%.

However, Samsung may also face some challenges. According to reports, Samsung originally expected to order parts for 12 million to 13 million Z5 series folding screen phones by the end of this year, but this number may be reduced by 1 million units as the global economic recession may affect the sales of folding screen phones.

Nonetheless, the media believes that if the shipments of Z Fold 5 and Z Flip 5 in 2023 are 10% higher than their predecessors, then Samsung’s annual shipments of Galaxy foldable screen phones will be expected to exceed 10 million units for the first time.

The outlet also claims that Samsung will start producing components for the Galaxy S24 series in mid-October. Additionally, in preparation for the release of the iPhone 15 series, Samsung may release the Galaxy S24 series a month early.

Since the Galaxy Z Flip 5’s outer screen is bigger and better than its predecessor, JerryRigEverything first tested the outer screen. The results were decent, with only noticeable scratches under the Mohs 6 tool, thanks to the protective layer of Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2.

It is noticed that under the pre-installed screen protector, the machine’s inner folding screen had obvious scratches under a tool with a Mohs hardness of 3, which also explains why Samsung will prompt Users to pay attention to the protection of the folding screen and the company recommends not to press the protective film too much when using the folding screen. In addition, there is a layer of plastic that wraps the display screen, which is also easily scratched. It acts as a buffer to protect the folding screen from damage when it is closed. This is especially important because Samsung has narrowed the gap between the screens in this generation of models.

In the test, JerryRigEverything also conducted a scratch test on the aluminum frame, rear case and newly designed hinge, and the results were also easily scratched. Another extreme test is the sand test. JerryRigEverything sprinkled sand on the entire device, including the hinge, folding screen and outer screen. Surprisingly, the Flip 5 was not affected too much, because the machine has an IPX8 protection rating, although Not dustproof, but sand doesn’t affect it much.

Finally, the Galaxy Z Flip 5 successfully passed the crucial reverse bend test, making it one of the few foldable phones to pass this test. That’s a testament to Samsung’s redesigned hinge, as well as the strength of the glass on the back of the device, which prevents the device from bending backwards too much.

It is noted that the USB ports on both the Galaxy Z Flip 5 and Galaxy Z Fold 5 support version 3.2 of the standard, which means that video signals can be output and external monitors can be connected. This is very convenient for users who want to watch videos, play games or make presentations on a big screen.

However, the Galaxy Z Flip5 does not support running Samsung’s DeX Mode, a feature that turns your phone into a computer and requires higher performance and cooling capabilities. The Galaxy Z Flip5 does not support DeX Mode because it is not designed to meet these requirements.

To realise the external monitor function, users only need a cable that supports USB 3.2 standard to connect the phone to the monitor, without any other hardware or software. This is a very simple and practical feature that makes folding screen phones even more powerful.
