ZonaJakarta – Foldable phones were once the wild experiment of the tech world. People weren’t sure if they’d stick around or just be a cool fad. But now? It’s 2025, and Samsung’s Galaxy Z Series has not only stuck around—it’s thriving.
So what if you’re curious about the foldable world or you already own one and wonder, “Should I upgrade yet?”—well, not necessarily.
Many of Samsung’s Z Series phones from recent years are still absolutely worth using or buying in 2025, especially if you’re looking to jump into the foldable game without paying flagship-just-launched prices.
Let’s take a look at the Z Flip and Z Fold models that are still killing it this year, and why they still make a whole lot of sense.
Galaxy Z Fold5 (2023): A productivity dream that still folds like a boss
The Z Fold5 may not be the newest foldable in the room anymore, but it’s still a top-tier device for multitaskers and power users in 2025.
Samsung refined everything in this model—making it lighter, slimmer, and with an improved hinge that closes flat (finally!). Inside, the massive 7.6-inch screen still gives you that tablet-in-your-pocket magic, perfect for reading, editing, watching, or working on the go.
It’s fast (thanks to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip), has S Pen support (sold separately, but still a win), and multitasking feels smooth and futuristic.
Why it’s still worth it in 2025:
– Large inner display = perfect for work, play, and everything in between
– Durable hinge design improved from earlier models
– Still fast, powerful, and gets Samsung’s software updates
Best for: Power users, multitaskers, productivity lovers, or anyone who wants a phone and a tablet in one sleek device.
Galaxy Z Flip5 (2023): The most stylish and fun phone that folds—and still slaps
The Z Flip5 didn’t just bring style—it brought functionality to the flip-phone vibe. The big leap with this model was the larger outer screen, which finally made the cover display actually useful.
You can check messages, reply to texts, control music, take selfies, and even run full apps—all without opening the phone.
When opened, the full-size 6.7-inch AMOLED screen is smooth and vibrant. And despite being tiny when closed, the Flip5 is anything but weak under the hood—it runs on the same fast chip as the Fold5.
Why it’s still worth it in 2025:
– Outer screen is super functional and fun
– Compact, stylish, and fits in small pockets (finally!)
– Premium feel + flagship-level performance
Best for: Fashion-forward users, social media lovers, casual users who want something different but powerful.
Galaxy Z Fold4 (2022): Still a solid folding workhorse
Okay, the Fold4 might be a little older, but don’t count it out. It still has a massive inner display, a very usable outer screen, and great multitasking tools.
The design might be slightly bulkier than the Fold5, but it’s still impressive in 2025—especially for someone looking to experience the folding tablet-style phone without splurging on the very latest model.
It’s also S Pen compatible, great for productivity, and has great camera performance. Plus, you can usually find it for a great secondhand or discounted price.
Why it’s still worth it in 2025:
– Affordable way to get into the Fold game
– Solid performance, multitasking, and media experience
– Software updates still ongoing
Best for: Budget-conscious tech lovers who want a Fold experience for less.
Galaxy Z Flip4 (2022): Cute, compact, and still totally usable
If you’re more into style, compactness, and uniqueness, the Z Flip4 is still a solid pick in 2025.
Sure, it doesn’t have the big cover screen like the Flip5, but it still has a functional preview window, strong performance, and the same folding wow-factor. It’s also durable (with upgraded hinge and water resistance), and comes in tons of fun colors.
The battery life could be better, but for casual users who want a fun and fashionable phone that gets attention—this one still slaps.
Why it’s still worth it in 2025:
– Compact, eye-catching design
– Affordable entry into the flip world
– Solid camera and performance for the price
Best for: Casual users, trendsetters, people who want a unique phone without breaking the bank.
So… Should You Still Get a Z Series in 2025?
Absolutely—if you choose smartly. Samsung’s Z Series has matured a lot, and the devices from 2022–2023 are still fast, fun, and future-forward.
Whether you want the large-screen multitasking of a Fold or the stylish compactness of a Flip, these phones aren’t just about looking cool—they’re about doing more in a cooler way.
So don’t let the new model hype make you feel like your Fold4 or Flip5 is obsolete. In fact, they’re still way ahead of many slab phones on the market. (*)
