The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5 launched in 2023 as Samsung's fourth-generation flip-style foldable, aimed at buyers who wanted a compact phone in the pocket and a full-size display when opened. It's known internally under SM-F731U1, F731U, and SM-F731W depending on carrier and region. The larger cover screen was the headline change from prior Z Flip models, and that alone keeps demand for this generation steady among buyers who want foldable hardware without the bigger price of a Z Fold. Foldables also carry more moving parts than a slab phone, so condition of the hinge and both screens matters more here than on a typical trade-in. Pick your carrier and storage configuration above, along with an honest condition grade, and you'll see a live cash offer instantly.

Confirm you have the Galaxy Z Flip5

Open Settings → About phone → Model number on the device. That string tells you the exact variant and, often, the carrier lock status. If the phone won't power on, the model number is also printed in small text on the SIM tray or the original retail box, and it's listed in your Samsung account order history if you bought it new.

SM-F731U1

  • US unlocked variant
  • Sold factory-unlocked, works across US carriers
  • Common on Samsung.com and unlocked resale listings

F731U

  • US carrier variant
  • Sold through AT&T, T-Mobile, or Verizon
  • May ship carrier-locked until account paid off or unlock requested

SM-F731W

  • Canadian model number
  • Sold through Canadian carriers and retailers
  • Functionally identical hardware to the US variants

Prefer a visual check? The Z Flip5's cover screen spans nearly the full front panel edge to edge, a clear jump from the small rectangular cover display on the Z Flip4. The hinge also closes with no visible gap when folded. Color options include Mint, Graphite, Cream, and Lavender, with a few brighter shades sold only through Samsung.com.

Audio: Stereo speakers tuned by AKG, no headphone jack.

Security: Side-mounted fingerprint reader built into the power button. Face recognition is available as a secondary option.

5G Foldable AMOLED 3.4-inch Flex Window IPX8 water resistance Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy Wireless charging Side fingerprint reader

Battery, build & more

Battery: 3700mAh, supports wired fast charging and Qi wireless charging, plus reverse wireless charging to power accessories like earbuds.

Build: Armor Aluminum frame with a foldable glass main display and a hinge rated for repeated folding. IPX8 water resistance, no dust ingress rating.

Software: Launched on One UI 5.1 over Android 13. Later Android and One UI updates apply depending on when the phone was sold and activated.

Known issues: The pre-applied protective layer on the inner display is part of the panel, not a removable screen protector, and peeling it damages the screen. A visible crease at the fold line is expected on every unit, not a sign of damage.

Frequently asked questions

01 How do I find the model number or exact configuration?
Go to Settings → About phone → Model number. That string identifies whether you have SM-F731U1, F731U, or SM-F731W, and often shows carrier branding if the phone is locked. Storage tier appears under Settings → About phone → Storage, or Settings → Battery and device care → Storage. If the screen is unresponsive, check the SIM tray or original retail box, which both print the model number, or pull it from your Samsung account order history if you registered the device.
02 How do I tell it apart from the Galaxy Z Flip4?
The clearest tell is the cover screen: the Z Flip5's Flex Window spans nearly the entire front panel, while the Z Flip4's cover display is a small rectangle tucked next to the camera lenses. Internally, the Z Flip5 runs the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy versus the Z Flip4's Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1, and the Z Flip5's hinge closes with no visible gap when folded. If you're unsure, the model number under Settings → About phone settles it immediately.
03 Can I sell it with damage, a weak battery, or an account lock?
Yes, in most cases. Cracked cover glass, a battery that drains fast, a damaged hinge, or a phone that won't power on can still qualify for an offer, and the condition picker above adjusts the quote to reflect it. What you cannot ship is a phone still tied to a Samsung account or Google account, or one with Find My Mobile or Google's Factory Reset Protection active. Remove those locks before shipping, since a locked device usually can't be tested or resold and may be rejected.
04 What raises the trade-in value the most?
Storage tier and unlock status matter most. A 512GB unit in clean condition typically outperforms a 256GB one, and a factory-unlocked phone appeals to a wider pool of buyers than a carrier-locked one. Beyond that, hinge condition counts heavily here since this is a folding phone: a hinge that closes flat with no play, an inner display free of scratches or air bubbles under the pre-applied layer, and an intact cover screen all support a stronger grade. Original box and charging cable help but matter less than the phone itself.
05 How do I erase it, remove my accounts, and get paid?
Back up anything you want to keep, then go to Settings → General → Reset → Factory data reset and confirm. Before that, remove your Google account under Settings → Accounts and your Samsung account under Settings → Accounts and backup, and turn off Find My Mobile so the device isn't locked to you after reset. Once your quote is accepted, shipping is free and insured, and payment goes out after inspection by PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, CashApp, or check. Full steps, including how to confirm the wipe took, are on the data erasure protocols page.
