Samsung Galaxy Z Fold2 5G - Bronze SM-F916BZNAXNZ review
Of all the manufacturers to try and create a folding smartphone with one big tablet-sized screen inside, the Galaxy Z Fold 2 is the most complete package. It's a huge improvement on the first-generation device in terms of design, but issues remain with the flexible display market still being...

- Big screen is a great platform for reading and games
- More split-screen room for multi-window multi-tasking

- Versatile camera system
Cons:
- Plastic screen film causes excessive smudging and feels 'sticky'

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 review: Your new flexible friend
Of all the manufacturers to try and create a folding smartphone with one big tablet-sized screen inside, the Galaxy Z Fold 2 is the most complete package. It's a huge improvement on the first-generation device in terms of design, but issues remain with the flexible display market still being relatively young. Oh, and it's really expensive.
Pros:
- Big screen is a great platform for reading and games
- More split-screen room for multi-window multi-tasking
- Well-built hinge and more durable than first-gen
- Outer screen more useful this time around
- Versatile camera system
Cons:
- Plastic screen film causes excessive smudging and feels 'sticky'
- Main screen isn't the most responsive
- Quite chunky in hand when folded
- Very expensive

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold2 5G - Bronze SM-F916BZNAXNZ review
In a year nobody could’ve predicted, where each day seemed hell-bent on eclipsing the former with fresh horror, surprise, or both, it’s been tough to stand out as a category-defining gadget.
Pros:
- Foldable display actually feels usable now
- Multitasking on a tablet-like screen is great
- Build quality is more reassuring
- This feels like what the future could be
Cons:
- Very expensive
- Cameras not up to Samsung's non-folding flagships
- Foldable display still requires some TLC
- Third-party apps still have to catch up

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold2 5G Mystic Bronze SM-F916BZNAXNZ review
The best way to describe the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 is that it's a powerful handset and a pleasure to use. It may not have the best battery life or the most impressive camera, but it does successfully deliver a reliable smartphone that transforms into a tablet.
Pros:
- Versatile app layouts thanks to Flex Mode, Sturdy hinge and bigger screens, Decent camera system
Cons:
- No Micro SD card slot, Average battery life, Bulky in size and weight

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 Review: Déjà vu
The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 can best be described as an iterative upgrade. Sure, it fixes long-time issues with the Fold series by getting rid of the gap and impressive software support, but it’s near-identical in most other areas, making the £100/$150 price hike a particularly hard pill to swallow.
Pros:
- Large 7.6-inch foldable display, Most powerful foldable phone around, Better app support than other book-style foldables, You want to use the foldable display to its fullest: Samsung’s exceptional push to get developers to integrate support for the boxy inner display shines through, with plenty of...
Cons:
- Very similar to the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4, £100/$150 price increase, Identical camera setup, You want the best photography experience: Boasting the same camera tech as the Z Fold 4, the foldable delivers fine (but not particularly exceptional) images, especially compared to the Google Pixel Fold .

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 review
The Galaxy Z Fold 5 is a very good folding phone but it’s still a niche, expensive device. Samsung’s foldable software impresses, but the cameras are disappointing.
Pros:
- Premium build, Great performance, Long battery life, Useful software
Cons:
- Prohibitively expensive, Huge crease in main screen, Awkward, heavy shape, Cameras are bad for the price

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5 long-term review: Practical and consistent
Critic Rating 4 Back in August, when launched the Galaxy Z Fold5, it came as a surprise among people how similar the Galaxy Z Fold5 looks and feels compared to the Galaxy Z Fold4, in terms of design. For many, there was nothing new apart from that 2.4 reduced thickness at the thickest point.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold2 5G - Bronze SM-F916BZNAXNZ review
The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold2 5G is a piece of the future that you can try out right now. That may be great, but it comes at a price. Samsung wants just under €2,000 for its innovative smartphone, for which you will receive a premium device that still has a sensitive folding screen.
Pros:
- great
- flexible hinge
- high-quality build
- large screens with narrow bezels
- good software customisation
- precise GPS module
- plenty of power
- fast Wi-Fi performance
- good memory capacity
- balanced speakers
- long battery life
Cons:
- the screen is still sensitive
- awfully expensive
- bulky to carry around in a trouser pocket
- throttling under load
- average microphones
- Dual-SIM connectivity only with an eSIM
