Galaxy Z Fold5

Released August 2023

The Galaxy Z Fold5 is Samsung's 2023 book-style foldable, with a new Flex Hinge that makes it 13.4 mm thick when folded, a 7.6-inch 1–120 Hz main screen, a 6.2-inch cover screen, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy and a 50 MP camera with a 3x telephoto, suited to anyone comparing foldables.

What reviewers say

Reviewers agree the new gapless hinge makes it flatter and lighter, and praise its screens, performance, battery life and multitasking software. The common complaints are slow charging, cameras carried over from the Fold4 and a very high price; TechRadar and Stuff also found the tall, narrow cover screen awkward next to wider rivals.
