After five generations of product iterations, Samsung seems to have basically nailed down the positioning of its flagship foldable phone (pun intended). The Galaxy Z Fold 5 looks very similar to its two predecessors, and aside from the processor and the (still) impressive hinge, the rest of the specs are exactly the same as the Galaxy Z Fold 4. How 2023 interacts. Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5
Good Good build quality, Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 long battery life, high-quality camera performance, consistent performance
Best Android update strategy
Bad Under-screen selfie camera still noticeable, design feels stagnant, 25W charging isn’t fast, still lacks a stylus garage, gets hot under demanding tasks
Still expensive
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 release date and price
Like the rest of Samsung’s lineup, the Fold series is well established and has a regular annual update cycle. In 2023, Samsung actually chose to launch the Fold 5 earlier than usual, which left the flagship phone without Qualcomm’s traditional mid-year processor update, which Qualcomm usually provides for Folds. Worse, the shorter development time seems to have held back upgrades to the camera, screen, Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 battery, and charging compared to the 2022 model.
Samsung spent most of its energy highlighting the technically impressive Flex Hinge on the 2023 Fold 5, which allows the phone to fold flat without the gap between the two halves that have been present in all of the company’s previous foldable phones.
The Galaxy Z Fold 5 follows the overall design of the Galaxy Z Fold 3 and 4, with the camera module undergoing a minor cosmetic change. However, its new “Flex Hinge” is new to the series and leaves no noticeable gap when the phone is closed. The Galaxy Z Fold 5 still has an IPX8 water-resistance rating, but it’s not dust-proof. An aluminum frame returns, holding the Gorilla Glass Victus 2 back and cover display together (up from Victus+ on the Fold 4). In daily use, those who “join the flip (folding?)” will need time to get used to the extra weight compared to a regular smartphone, but it’s worth noting that the Fold 5 is noticeably lighter than the Google Pixel Fold I tested a few weeks ago. The same overall design means the ergonomics are well-tested, and the placement of buttons when the device is closed is perfectly fine, including the fingerprint reader.
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 display
The Galaxy Z Fold 5’s inner and outer cover displays have the same diagonal dimensions of 7.6 inches and 6.2 inches, respectively. One noticeable change compared to the Fold 4 is the peak brightness, which reaches an impressive 1750 nits, which is more than enough for outdoor readability. Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 performance
Samsung continues to equip its Galaxy Fold phones with the best processors available for Android, and for 2023, that means a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip. Memory specs are similarly high-end, with 12GB of LPDDR5 RAM and up to 1TB of UFS 4.0 storage Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 Camera
Anyone who read the Fold 4 review here at nextpit will probably have a strong flashback when reading the Galaxy Z Fold 5 camera impressions. We’d like to believe Samsung liked the camera suite on the Fold 4 so much that they thought it deserved another round: the 50-megapixel wide-angle, 12-megapixel ultra-wide-angle, and 10-megapixel 3x zoom telephoto lenses are back with similar results to last season. Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 Battery
Samsung announced an “optimized” Samsung Galaxy batteryfor the Galaxy Z Fold 5, but didn’t say what that meant. In our testing, the flagship foldable performed very well, especially when using the cover display primarily. On paper, though, Samsung retained the same specs we found in the Fold 4.
Pros:
The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 has great Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 battery life. PCMark’s battery test confirmed our real-world impressions, with an excellent score of 17 hours and 14 minutes on the external display and 10 hours and 21 minutes on the internal screen of the Galaxy Z Fold 5. Oddly, the latter score is exactly the same as the Google Pixel Fold, which scored 14 hours and 30 minutes on the external display.
