Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 has also launched around the globe alongside its smaller sibling, the Z Flip 5. Compared to the Z Flip 5, however, the Z Fold 5 is more of an incremental update, bringing refinements rather than an overhaul.
The Galaxy Z Fold 5 now uses the similarly named Flex Hinge as the Z Flip 5, which allows it to shut completely flat after 5 years, making it slimmer and safer from dust particles. It also uses an Armor Aluminum frame and Gorilla Glass Victus 2 on the front and inner screen for more protection.
Speaking of the displays, both of them retain their respective specifications. The exterior features a 6.2-inch Dynamic AMOLED with a resolution of 2316 x 904 px and an adaptive refresh rate ranging from 48 to 120Hz.
On the inside, there’s a 7.6-inch Foldable AMOLED with a resolution of 2176 x 1812px and an adaptive refresh rate between 1 and 120Hz. The aspect ratios of the displays have also remained the same.
If nothing, the main screen is at least 30% brighter than before, according to Samsung’s claims. The new S Pen is slimmer and smaller than before and can be attached to the phone with a special S Pen case just like before.
The new Galaxy Z Fold 5 is equipped with the most advanced mobile chip currently available, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 Mobile Platform for Galaxy, the same as in the Galaxy S23 series. However, the larger Fold 5 is likely to perform better in terms of heat dissipation, due to its revamped cooling system and its greater surface area.
You can have up to 1 TB of storage on the Z Fold 5 and there is only a single 12 GB RAM option. You get Android 13L and One UI 5.1.1 for software, the same as the Galaxy Z Flip 5.
The entire camera system appears to be the same as in 2022. It includes two selfie cameras: a 10MP f/2.2 1.22μm unit built into the cover screen, and a 4MP f/1.8 2.0μm under-display camera on the inside.
On the back, you will find a 50MP f/1.8 1.0μm wide-angle shooter, a 12MP f/2.2 1.12μm ultrawide camera, and a 10MP f/2.4 1.0μm camera with 3x zoom.
The battery maintains a capacity of 4,400 mAh, with support for 25W wired charging and 15W wireless charging. These features allow the battery to charge up to 50% in just 30 minutes, although this is somewhat underwhelming by current standards.
However, the battery life should be marginally improved, thanks to the more power-efficient Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip.
The phone is available in Icy Blue, Phantom Black, and Cream color options. Pricing depends on the memory and storage configurations: a 12 GB RAM/256 GB storage variant is priced at $1,800, the 12 GB/512 GB model costs $1,920, and the top-tier 12 GB/1 TB version is priced at $2,160.
