Samsung Galaxy S22 Plus vs Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5
Our Verdict: The Galaxy Z Flip5 and the Galaxy S22 Plus are 17 years apart, which is enough for a real difference. The S22+ 5G leads on camera hardware with a 50MP main sensor to the Z Flip5 5G's 12MP, and there's more battery in the S22+ 5G, 4500mAh to 3700mAh, which should mean longer between charges in day-to-day use. Storage goes higher on the Z Flip5 5G, up to 512GB against 256GB, and the Z Flip5 5G has the sharper display at 426 PPI to 390. If you're on the Z Flip5 5G, the S22+ 5G is a real step up, but only worth it if the changes above matter to you.
Buying outright, the S22+ 5G starts at £225 SIM-free.
