Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5: Hands On & First Impressions

The latest Samsung Galaxy Unpacked brings us a lot of flash and a lot of folds. Samsung’s latest Z Fold 5 phone may look very similar to last year’s counterpart the Korean electronics giant is betting that a few tweaks to last year’s model will entice a new crowd of buyers. The phone’s next iteration features a near-flat folding design along with UI updates that could make this the best option for the phone-tablet hybrid we’ve seen yet—all for the high (starting) price of $1,800.

The Galaxy Z Fold 5 sure does look a lot like the excellent-though-expensive Fold 4, at least on its rather thin face. Perhaps the biggest difference between the old Fold and the new is the different folding mechanism. Previous versions of the Fold had a sagging display, and the phone did not fold completely flat. The new Z Fold 5 does fold flat…ish. There’s still a very slight gap between the edges closest to the hinge where light gets through. The Z Fold 5 is much, much closer to the ideal, but it’s not all the way there, if it ever could be. Otherwise, the new model, slightly thinner than last year’s, clamped shut at .53 inches compared to the 4’s .62.
