Came from a Fold 3. This iteration is a good improvement over it. Starting with the Screens, the front stays mostly the same, it is narrow but that is perfect for swipe texting one handed. The inner screen feels different but only time will tell how long the protector will hold up as it did NOT on the Fold 3. Best thing I really the increase in brightness by 700 nits! The lack of bezels is also a plus.
Hardware it self feels new and improved. Opening and closing is more secure but the crease looks the same. The gapless hinge is a huge bonus as now it allows for a slimmer profile especially with a case on, although I prefer caseless.
A few things about the software/cpu. It is overall a lot smoother but that usually happens with a new release. The animations seem slow at 120hz but you can fix that by lowering to 60hz or opening Dev Options and removing them altogether for a faster feel. Having more apps show in the taskbar is useful for those who switch around a lot. This thing handles multi apps open like a champ without much heating. Games run without a stutter the battery so far gives me 6-8hrs SOT depending on my gaming habits.
Camera is a huge improvement over the old Fold 3. Look at youtube reviews and see that it almost keeps up with the S23U in bright and low light, front cam and videos but falls short of the zoom, which I don’t plan to take pics of the moon so not a negative for me. Minimal blur and sharp images of moving objects is what I need and so far so good.

The telephone meet all the requirement of a foldable phone. The out side screen is sufficient enough to make me use it with one hand. Acutally, I like it because it is much ergonomics when I am making a call. It does not feel like I am holding a brick compare to those 6.5 screen phone. I am very satisfied with it that I wish the make one similar in height but a bit wider.

The perfect combination with it's narrow external screen fits perfectly in hand. Then when unfold it becomes one of the largest phones an actual tablet with the power and functionality of a computer. That fits in any of your pockets comfortably. Providing you with the power to communicate or multi-task in a very stylish form factor in any situation.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5 in Phantom Black is a true marvel of modern technology. I recently purchased it from Best Buy, and I couldn't be more impressed.
The foldable design is the standout feature, allowing me to seamlessly transition between a compact smartphone and a spacious tablet with a simple fold. The Phantom Black color gives it an elegant and sophisticated look, making it a head-turner wherever I go.
The 7.6-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display is breathtaking, delivering vibrant colors and crisp details. Whether I'm watching movies, playing games, or multitasking, the display ensures an immersive experience every time.
Performance-wise, the Galaxy Z Fold5 doesn't disappoint. With its powerful Snapdragon processor and ample 512GB of storage, it handles everything I throw at it with ease. Apps open quickly, and multitasking is a breeze.
The camera system is impressive, capturing stunning photos and videos in any lighting condition. Whether it's landscapes or close-up shots, the Galaxy Z Fold5 delivers exceptional results.
Battery life is solid, easily lasting me through a full day of use. And when it's time to recharge, the fast charging capabilities get me back up and running in no time.
Overall, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5 is a game-changer in the world of smartphones. Its innovative design, stunning display, powerful performance, and versatile camera make it a standout choice for anyone looking for the ultimate mobile experience. If you're considering purchasing one, I highly recommend it.

Best Fold yet - more than just a minor upgrade

This is my 3rd Fold device. I have kept upgrading due to the excellent trade-in value. (Best Buy gave the $1,000 trade-in for Fold 4).
This phone in my experience was much better than just a minor upgrade of the Fold 4.
It is significantly lighter in weight, thinner when folded, and the hinge is much improved.
The phone is significantly faster than the Fold 4, the camera is more stable, and the screen is better. The icy blue color tops it off. Best Buy staff was extremely helpful in store helping me transfer and trade-in.
Very satisfied with the upgrade and will enjoy it for at least the next year.

Fast device. Good battery life. Beautiful hardware. Screens are great, and speakers are as well. Cameras are phenomenal, with solid video quality.
Price is still too high, and no charging brick in the box is horrible.

Nice phone, excellent for entertainment. Great battery life and screen display. ONLY knock against it, is the camera is not the best phone on the planet....and for the price I paid, I'd expect nothing but the best. Still a great cool phone. May not be worth the high price. Had this and the Google Fold, I liked my Samsung better....not as heavy and software was better.

I upgraded from my z fold4 to the z fold5..so far so good..i will say the display color contrast is different on the z fold 4 from the z fold 5..they both look great but i do like the color contrast better on the z fold4..
But of course the Multi-tasking is Amazing on both devices and the adaptive brightness works better on the z fold5 and Snapdragon 8Gen 2 is snapper and more battery efficient..

I got this phone for not only entertainment purposes, but also for work. The bigger screen is amazing and is so clear. I use office programs like work and excel and they are so easy to use. The full until with a case is smaller then my old phone but i can open it up and enjoy the bigger screen.
