Is the crease on the Galaxy Z Flip5 screen visible?

Yes, the crease is visible at certain angles and can be felt with a finger, but it is not noticeable during normal use (especially when watching content).

How many times can the device be folded?

Samsung has tested the device for 200,000 folding cycles, which means about 100 times a day for 5 years.

Is the Z Flip5 waterproof?

The device has an IPX8 rating, meaning it can withstand submersion in fresh water up to 1.5 meters deep for 30 minutes. However, it is not dustproof.

What can be done with the external Flex Window screen?

You can reply to messages with a full keyboard, use widgets (weather, calendar, music), take selfies with the main camera, and even open certain apps like Google Maps or YouTube.

Does the battery last a whole day?

With moderate use, the battery will last until the evening. As it is a compact device (3700 mAh), intensive use may require additional charging during the day.

Can the screen protector be replaced by myself?

No, removing or replacing the internal screen protector film yourself can permanently damage the screen panel. It is recommended to contact an official service centre.
