An increasing number of people are switching to foldable phones, specifically, flip phones like the latest Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5. If you’re one of them, you might want some help deciding which color to choose that best represents your unique style.
The Flip 5 is available in four standard colors: Graphite, Cream, Lavender, and Mint. If you buy from the official Samsung website, you can pick from four exclusive colors: Gray, Blue, Green, and Yellow. Let’s take a look at each colorway and see which one fits you the best.
The Graphite version of the Flip 5 is a bit misleading because it’s not actually graphite in color, but looks almost identical to the Phantom Blackcolor option for the Galaxy S23 series. It’s the one to get if you want a timeless and mature color, and don’t want to draw much attention.
A distant onlooker on the street may not even be able to tell that you’re holding a foldable phone—that’s until you fold it shut, of course.
On the flip side, the Cream colorway is bright, minimal, and draws attention—especially when you’re using your phone unfolded since it contrasts with the black cover screen.
You’ll also notice that the hinge and sides replicate the same color. Out of all the colors on this list, Cream will be able to hide fingerprints and minor scratches the best, so you don’t constantly need to wipe it to look clean.
Lavender is perfect for those who want to come across as open, agreeable, and approachable. And if you’re wondering, the color is also available on the Galaxy S23 series in case you wereconsidering buying the Galaxy S23 over the Flip 5.
Mint is the frontman colorway of the Galaxy Z Flip 5; it’s what you’ve seen in the ads for the device. Samsung has clearly opted for a lighter, subtle tone here as opposed to a more vibrant, saturated color—and we think it’s done tastefully. The cool-toned hue gives off a sense of freshness and feels cheerful.
The Gray colorway is perfect for those who want to exhibit a professional, neutral, and unbiased aura. It’s one of the four exclusive colorways of the Galaxy Z Flip 5, available only throughSamsung’s official website. Unlike the standard colors, the exclusive colors come with a matte black coating on the sides and the hinge.
Blue is the second exclusive color variant of the Flip 5 and it looks like a darker and more saturated version of the Bluecolorway available for the iPhone 14.
It’s a good fit if you’re looking to come across as calm and thoughtful. Although, it’s the kind of color that would probably look better on a phone like the S23 Ultra.
Similar to the Blue colorway, Green looks mature and stoic. But we don’t think it looks right on the Flip 5 simply because smaller phones usually look better with brighter and more fun colors rather than darker and more muted colors.
Yellow suits the Flip 5 really well, and it’s easy to recommend given how well it contrasts with the cover screen. It’s lively and playful, and gives a sense of optimism. It’s not the same hue as the Yellow iPhone 14, but more of a mustard yellow.
Pick the Best Galaxy Z Flip 5 Color for You
The Galaxy Z Flip 5 is a fashion-focused device, positioned as an accessory for self-expression. And if that’s the goal, we think the colors Cream, Lavender, Mint, and Yellow are the best picks.
Of course, Graphite (which is actually Phantom Black) is a safe option. But if you’re the sort of person who’s buying a flip phone, we imagine you’re probably more adventurous than most people and would want your phone to look unique too.
