Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5 Expert Review Summary
Expert Rating:
![Deepak Dhingra]()
Verdict
While the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5 bears the same design as its predecessor, the cameras aren`t top-notch, and charging speeds could have been better... the new phone shines in terms of most core aspects of the foldable experience. Improved build quality and hinge, a brighter screen, S Pen features, software tweaks designed to aid productivity, all mated to buttery-smooth performance, reliable battery life and decent cameras make it a no-brainer if you covet a book-style foldable.
Pros
- Brighter screen
- Smooth performance & decent battery
- Slimmer & lighter
- Feature-rich
Cons
- Pricey
- Same design as before
- Cameras aren`t amazing
Design and displays
+
It's a familiar look no doubt. The Galaxy Z Fold5 doesn't stray far from the design DNA adopted by the Z Fold4 from last year, and dare I say, even the models that came before it, provided you ignore the cover screen. As things stand though, you won't really be able to distinguish between the Z Fold5 and the Z Fold4 easily. It's a thick device with a tall outer display when folded, turning into a mini tablet when you open it. When folded, you'll find the Type-C port in the middle of the bottom half, with the volume rocker and power key placed on the right spine. Speaker vents can be seen on two extreme ends of the folded portion on top. On the left is the hinge, bearing Samsung branding. And on the back, you'll see the three camera rings and a flash. The device folds flat, without any gaps in the middle, and the crease on the main screen seems less prominent than before.

Cameras

The Z Flip5 is no slouch when it comes to camera capabilities, offering a 50MP, f/1.8 primary sensor with OIS, along with a 10MP telephoto with 3X optical zoom and a 12MP ultrawide. There's also a 10MP selfie shooter integrated into the centrally-aligned punch hole on the cover display, plus another 4MP in-display camera hidden under the top right portion of the main screen. These specs look unchanged from the previous model, though the newer ISP included with the refreshed chipset this time should be able to offer some improvements – both in terms of speed and image quality.

Software

The Z Fold5 runs Android 13 with OneUI v 5.1.1 (as of the time of writing this), and you get the same intuitive interface you might be accustomed to seeing on other Samsung phones. It's loaded, feature-rich, customisable, and yet, easy to understand even if you're migrating from a different smartphone brand. It does come with a fair share of pre-installed apps, but nothing you can't get rid of with a simple uninstall.

Performance and battery life
+
As the torchbearer of Samsung's smartphone lineup and the super-premium flagship it is, the Z Fold5 is befittingly equipped with the latest top-end SoC from Qualcomm, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. There's 12 gigs of RAM, and up to 1 terabyte of storage. And as you might expect, these are specs that deliver a silky smooth, fluid usage experience on the Z Fold5, regardless of the app, task or game you choose to use. The phone does warm up a bit when stressed, but not so much so as to make it uncomfortable to hold.
