Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 review: The foldable leader holds steady
The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 is a worthy successor to the Z Fold 4, bringing a flatter and lighter profile to an otherwise-familiar foldable formula. It's got ample power, versatility, and high-quality components and materials.- It folds flat, Lighter and thinner, A better mobile chipset means even snappier performance
- The cover screen now feels too narrow, The cameras are good but unchanged from the last model, It's expensive and should include the S Pen in the price
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 review
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.- 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...
- 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: Sweet Déjà Vu
Five generations in, Samsung seems pretty much settled (pun intended) with its flagship foldable phone. The Galaxy Z Fold 5 looks a lot like its two predecessors on the outside and, except for the processor and (still) impressive hinge, a facsimile of the Galaxy Z Fold 4 specifications.- Good build quality, Great battery life, High-quality camera performance, Consistent performance, Best Android update policy
- Under-display selfie camera is still noticeable, Design feels stuck in time, 25 W charging is not fast, Still missing a stylus garage, Gets hot under demanding tasks, Still expensive
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.- Premium build, Great performance, Long battery life, Useful software
- Prohibitively expensive, Huge crease in main screen, Awkward, heavy shape, Cameras are bad for the price

Critic Rating 4 CLICK HERE FOR GALLERY User Rating 4.0 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.
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 review
The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 is a minor upgrade over the Z Fold 4. But it's a more polished package than the Pixel Fold or Honor Magic Vs – Samsung's main competition in the West – and it's also the only foldable with stylus input.- Loads of power and all-day battery, Bright, high-quality displays, Reassuringly solid hinge, IPX8 water-resistance, S Pen stylus input
- Narrow cover screen feels cramped, Modest upgrades versus Z Fold 4, Mediocre cameras for the price, Still undeniably expensive

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 review: A marginal improvement
Samsung’s top-end foldable gets pricier but the upgrades are hard to spot- Thinner and lighter than Z Flip 5, Better battery life and performance, Useful new software features
- Even more expensive than last year, Same cameras as last year, S Pen isn’t included in the box
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 review
Samsung's foldable concept is nearing perfection, but who will buy it?- No slippage thanks to improved hinge. Hugely improved battery life. Really faster graphics.
- Most of it is like the Galaxy Z Fold 4. Questionable durability. Incredibly expensive.
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 review
On second glance, the best foldable smartphone? From a design and technical point of view, the Galaxy Z Fold5 has looked to the Fold4 for inspiration. Although Samsung's newest foldable smartphone has improved in only a select number of areas, the Galaxy Fold5 shines with virtues familiar to the...- beautiful OLED panels, premium case, stylus input, long updates, fast SoC ...
