In addition, to help differentiate it from the nearly-identical Z Flip before it, the Z Flip 5G came in two colours that weren’t available before. Samsung gave it an up-to-date flagship processor and 5G connectivity. The second Z Flip device was the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5G, which saw some under-the-hood upgrades.
