Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5 Retro: Features

Sporting the same indigo blue and silver colour scheme as the E700, the Z Flip5 Retro comes loaded with nostalgic pixel graphics and cityscape animations on its Flex Window cover screen.

In essence, the device serves as a perfect blend of the old and new, capturing Samsung’s innovation story or so the company says.

The packaging is a collector’s delight. Inside a specially designed box adorned with logos of both the Z Flip5 and the E700, you’ll find Flipsuit cards with stickers showcasing various Samsung logos from years gone by.

The package also includes an exclusive Samsung E700 collector card, which is engraved with a unique serial number.

Apart from that the Z Flip5 Retro is basically the same phone in terms of specifications as the regular Galaxy Z Flip5.

This includes the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset, a bigger 3.4-inch display on the outer side, a 50MP primary camera, and more.
As of now, there is no word on an Indian launch.
