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.

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.

I had the fold 4 before the fold 5 and while it failed me near the 1 year mark (full refund from Samsung) I still went with the newer model, because of the refund.
This model may or may not fail me later but it is so much better on my eyes at 64 years old that I don't want to go back!

My granddaughter was just so grateful. Arrived in great condition and no problems. My granddaughter was soooo happy. She had waited for so long for me to get my funds together. It also was in perfect crisp shape. Came a couple days after ordering it. Over a week early then stated. Thank you!!!

It has so many new options it can be overwhelming. I am sure with time I will be able to just automatically go to the area that I need. Keep up the good work.
