Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. on Thursday promised to revolutionise the mobile devices industry with extensive research and development (R&D) as it launched its fifth generation (5G) of Galaxy foldables: Galaxy Z Flip5 and Galaxy Z Fold5 into the Nigerian market.
President/Head of Mobile eXperience Business at Samsung Electronics, TM Roh, who spoke during the unveiling of foldable devices, said many users are increasingly turning to the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) because of the quality of its devices.
“Samsung is revolutionising the mobile industry with foldables by setting the standard and continually refining the experience. Every day, more people choose our foldables because they offer an experience people want that they can’t get on any other device. Galaxy Z Flip5 and Galaxy Z Fold5 are the latest devices that prove our commitment to meeting the needs of our customers through innovative technolog,” Roh said.
The form factors offer unique experiences for every user with sleek and compact designs, countless customisation options, and powerful performance.
According to Samsung, the new Flex Hinge makes the foldable experience possible, while offering an aesthetically balanced and solid design. These remarkable foldable devices unlock extraordinary camera capabilities such as FlexCam to take photos from creative angles. With strong performance and an optimised battery powered by the latest processor, the Samsung Galaxy Z series transforms what is possible with a smartphone – open or closed.
Samsung’s heritage of innovation and dedication to the foldables category has created incredibly versatile devices available. With a strong belief in the potential of the foldable format, paired with world-class R&D and manufacturing capabilities, Samsung has consistently refined and optimised the Galaxy Z series lineup. From content creation on Galaxy Z Flip5’s new Flex Window to seamless multitasking on Galaxy Z Fold5, this series of Galaxy foldables meets and exceeds the distinctive needs of today’s users.
Furthermore, both Galaxy Z Flip5 and Galaxy Z Fold5 are carefully designed to meet durability expectations, the company added.
The main screen is equipped with a shock dispersion layer and a redesigned back for a more solid display, Along with IPX8 support, Armor Aluminium frames, and Corning Gorilla Glass Victus2 applied to both the Flex Window and back cover, Galaxy Z Flip5 and Galaxy Z Fold5 provide the protection consumers expect, enhanced further by Flex Hinge.
This new integrated hinge module features a dual rail structure, diffusing external impacts.
Samsung said it has continued to demonstrate progress toward the company’s environmental vision and accelerate actions that help achieve its goals including reaching net zero carbon emissions by the end of 2030 for the Device eXperience Division.
According to Roh, the Galaxy Z Flip5 and Fold5 feature a wider variety of recycled materials than their previous generations, including pre-consumer recycled glass and aluminium and post-consumer recycled plastics, sourced from discarded fishing nets, water barrels and PET bottles. Even the paper used for their packaging box is made using 100 per cent recycled materials.
These innovations have also been purposefully designed for optimised longevity. Each device comes with five years of security updates and four generations of OS upgrades, helping to extend the product lifecycle.
“The Galaxy Z Flip5 and Galaxy Z Fold5 will be available for pre-order in select markets from July 26th – August 10th, with general availability starting August 11,” Roh said.
