The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 has landed, but was it worth the wait? Here are two things I hate about the new foldable — plus a couple of things I love.
This story is part of our Samsung Galaxy Unpacked 2023 coverage Samsung is in its fifth generation of selling foldables. While the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 is its biggest upgrade to the clamshell form factor, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 is an experiential upgrade this year – which might cause some problems for Samsung.
Related Two major misses for the Galaxy Z Fold 5 I wrote a wishlist for the Galaxy Z Fold 5 earlier this year that included improvements to two major pain points with the Galaxy Z Fold 4. Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like Samsung delivered. Secondly, no foldable sports a flagship-grade camera system when compared to the flagship slab phones. The Pixel Fold features Google Pixel 7a’s camera hardware; the Honor Magic VS, Vivo Fold, and the Oppo Find N2 don’t have the same camera system as their respective flagship slab siblings.
In my time with the Oppo Find N and N2, every time I opened the phone, I was reminded that the web is built for taller phones and not wider phones. You need to rotate foldables with wider form factors to the taller side to get a better experience on the web. Although I still consider the Honor Magic VS, Magic V2, and Vivo Fold to be the ideal form factors for me because of the wide cover display and a tall aspect ratio, the Samsung software on Galaxy Z Fold is unparalleled … at least for now.
