Those who seek a premium foldable experience should quench their thirst with this bad boy in hand. It’s exquisite through and through, with an improved hinge design over its predecessor, the Z Fold 4.
The handset features two gorgeous screens. On the outside, you get a 6.2-inch AMOLED 48-120Hz cover screen. Unfold it to reveal the 7.6-inch foldable Dynamic AMOLED display with 1-120Hz frame refresh rates. With high resolutions, both screens provide vibrant and sharp colors. Plus, you can customize the colors for a punchier or more toned-down visual experience via the color calibration settings.
What’s that humming under the hood? Nothing other than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. And it’s the fine-tuned version for Samsung, nonetheless! The Z Fold 5 blows competition out of the water in almost every test in our performance benchmarks. Indeed, this puppy is capable of quite a lot. Moreover, its triple rear camera setup with a 50MP main sensor is equally impressive.
However, if solid battery life is what you need in a foldable, we wouldn’t recommend this Samsung phone. If anything, competitors like the Pixel Fold offer a similar premium experience with better battery life, too.
Premium, powerful, and equipped with two gorgeous screens, the Z Fold 5 is a fantastic phone despite its not-so-impressive battery life. If you need one right now, know that Best Buy offers one at a delicious $360 discount.
