Galaxy Z Flip 5 features superior memory technology
If you look at the Galaxy Z Flip 5 vs Galaxy Z Flip 4 comparison, you'll find that both of these devices come with 8GB of RAM. While you can get more internal storage if you want to pay extra, you can't get more memory, as Samsung only ships the device with 8GB.
However, not all memory is created equally. Even though both models have 8GB of RAM, the new foldable phone has superior technology. The Galaxy Z Flip 5 comes with 8GB of LPDDR5X RAM whereas the Galaxy Z Flip 4 has 8GB LPDDR5 RAM.
As you're probably aware, Samsung is the leading supplier of memory solutions for mobile devices, and its smartphones feature Samsung memory chips. Samsung unveiled the industry's fastest LPDDR5X RAM late last year, boasting transfer speeds of up to 8.5Gbps. It's 33% faster than LPDDR5 which results in significant performance improvements.
You may not notice it immediately but the effects of this superior technology will be felt as you use the device over the long term. You'll enjoy more seamless multi-tasking, apps will open much faster, the gaming experience will be elevated, the AI features will be more capable, and the device won't feel bogged down as much when it's full of apps and content.
The LPDDR5X RAM coupled with the new Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset make the Galaxy Z Flip 5 a bonafide flagship smartphone. You can go ahead and pre-order the Galaxy Z Flip 5 from Samsung now. It's best to get your orders in early because the best deals are available directly from the company.
