Galaxy Z Flip 5 Takes on Motorola Razr+: The Battle for the 2023 Foldable Smartphone Throne!

Samsung's popular folding-screen Z Flip phone returns for 2024 with a faster processor, extended battery life, and enhanced AI capabilities. The   Galaxy Z Flip 6 , the smaller of Samsung’s two new folding phones launched alongside the   Z Fold 6 , retains the flat sides and slab-like design of the Galaxy S24+, folding it in half to create a compact clamshell from a large-screen phone.
