The Galaxy Z Flip 5 is Samsung's latest clamshell foldable star. It packs a stylish design and top-tier specs, giving it a monstrous performance despite its tiny dimensions.

However, one of the drawbacks of the clamshell foldables is that they don't exactly fall in the battery champ category. And given the fact that your Galaxy Z Flip 5 will literally become a paperweight that can fold in half when its battery dies, you are probably wondering whether Samsung's latest foldable has a good battery life, how long it lasts on a single charge, and does it have better battery life than its predecessor, the Galaxy Z Flip 4? Well, let's see.
