What reviewers say

Reviewers agree the gapless hinge and much larger cover screen are real improvements, alongside strong performance, good cameras and better battery life than the Z Flip4. The common complaint is that running full apps on the cover screen takes workarounds; Tom's Guide still wanted longer battery life, and GSMArena found heavy throttling under sustained load.
