From the Brand

Gapless design, Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy and Gorilla Glass Victus 2 – that’s the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5 in a nutshell. But could the small step for the Fold lineup become a giant leap for the foldable segment.

The Galaxy Z Fold5 addresses one of the major issues of the lineup so far – the unsightly and impractical V-shaped gap when closed shut is finally gone and you get the gap-free body to finally match the competition.

It is still only matched by the Huawei Mate X3 with its IPX8 rating, while its Armor aluminum frame and Victus glass exterior are the most reassuring in the market. The chipset has been upgraded to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy model with higher CPU and GPU clocks, while storage has been boosted to UFS 4.0.

The rest is copy-pasted from the Fold4. The foldable AMOLED screen remains the same – 7.6-inches of Dynamic AMOELD 2X goodness with 373ppi, 120Hz dynamic refresh rate and HDR10+. It has a clever under-display 4MP camera to avoids interruptions, and it supports S-Pen input. In fact, the new slimmer S-Pen case, while not part of the phone itself, might be one of the bigger upgrades we are getting this year.

On the outside you get the same 6.2-inch Dynamic AMOLED display with 120Hz refresh rate and HDR10+. There is a punch hole here, but no S-Pen support.

The rear camera setup is another thing to have been lifted straight from the Fold4. The 50MP OIS primary, 12MP ultrawide, and 10MP OIS 3x telephoto combo will be hoping the new Snapdragon chipset will help it improve image quality with its computational muscle.

Another area where improvements can only come from the new chipset is battery life as the Fold5 features the same 4,440mAh battery with 25W wired and 15W wireless charging support.
