Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5

Folding phones used to mean compromise, but the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset here runs the same flagship silicon you'd find in non-folding phones this year. Paired with 8GB RAM and 256GB storage, it handles multitasking and heavier apps without much fuss. The 6.7-inch foldable AMOLED display hits 120Hz and peaks at 1750 nits, so scrolling feels smooth even under direct sunlight, and it folds down to a compact 85.1 x 71.9 x 15.1mm when closed.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 price in Malaysia starts from RM2588. The dual 12MP rear cameras (wide and ultrawide) cover the basics well, with OIS on the main lens helping steady shots and 4K video up to 60fps. Battery capacity sits at 3700mAh, modest for a flagship but typical for the form factor, with 25W wired charging getting you to 50% in half an hour.

IPX8 water resistance and a Gorilla Glass Victus 2 back add some durability reassurance for a phone that hinges in the middle. It ships on Android 13 with One UI 5.1.1, and comes in eight colours depending on where you shop.
