As you might expect from the usual annual update schedule, the Galaxy Z Fold 5 is a better, faster, thinner, and more efficient phone than the Z Fold 4. The new hinge design allows it to fold completely flat — previous generations folded into a wedge shape — and that makes the phone 2mm thinner overall and several grams lighter. It's a notable difference, especially if you've already been using a Fold.
It's also got the fastest processor with the most consistent performance in any foldable phone, and its new brighter displays will almost certainly amaze you in any light. So long as you're not sensitive to Samsung's flickering displays like I am, of course. Plus, the phone launches with a new S Pen case that finally solves the problem of where to store the S Pen on a large foldable.
