The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 has officially been launched and people are only a few days away from getting their new devices delivered. Of course, this is a pricey device, something that we all expected given our experience with the previous models, so it's fantastic when you can save a bit on your order.
The new Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 delivers some massive improvements over last year's model, starting with its sleeker design, slimmer frame, and larger screen. The new model also features a more powerful processor, so you can expect a faster and smoother experience when using a ton of apps. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy chip is the same that powers the S23 line this year, so we already know that it works great and delivers on all its promises.
Since you'll likely be using many apps for work and fun, you'll also need to have a good battery, which you'll find with the Z Fold 5. With a 4400mAh battery and a lot of screen, you'll get up to 7-8 hours of screen-on time.
Unlike previous models, this time around, you're no longer going to see a gap in the middle when folding your phone. Therefore, there's a lower chance of dust getting in there and the screen developing bumps and dents over time.
