Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Samsung has just revealed the newest generation Flip and Fold phones. The smaller of the two foldables, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 starts at £1,049 and is available to buy now.
While the bigger, beefier and more expensive Galaxy Z Fold 5 has only received a few minor upgrades for 2023, the compact and clamshell-style Galaxy Z Flip 5 is being treated to a few more interesting updates.
The biggest change is to the cover display, which has been exanded to almost completely fill the front of the phone when closed. The 3.4in screen is now big enough to accommodate larger and more-complex widgets, letting you check the weather, keep an eye on your favourite stocks, change tracks on Spotify or see your upcoming calendar events, without opening the phone.

The embiggened cover display also means you can quickly reply to messages, using a full-width on-screen keyboard, as comfortably as you would when the phone is unfolded. Meanwhile, integration with Samsung Wallet (previously Samsung Pay) and Google Wallet lets you show a boarding card or a loyalty card on the front of the phone.
