It's good, but can be improved

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This device handles multitasking well. I regularly have multiple apps and games running and it handles it with ease. The inside screen is large enough to view any content you consume (videos are weird, but more on that later) and you will never notice the bend unless the screen is off. The screens can be adjusted to an eye watering brightness and that's perfect for outside use. I'm always able to see my phone clearly outside or inside.
The battery life is really good for being such a big phone. It's got about 8-9 hours with continual usage.
My issues are with the dimensions of the phone. The exterior screen is much too small to be usable with the larger screen set by standard phones today and will not work with the S-pen. The interior screen has a weird dimension to where videos will not full display on the screen. The top and bottom cut off the video and it only let's you watch at a regular phone size. If you try to fold the phone to use both screens, you find yourself with the same problem as the exterior screen. They're just too small. These problems can be fixed with future devices and it would vastly improve my score. It would probably be the perfect phone if the dimensions weren't messy.
I've used the Galaxy AI a few times. It's good for what it does. The crop and generate feature is really cool.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Galaxy ZFold5 has been a priceless asset for me on a daily basis. I trade stocks and using the unfolded version of the ZFold 5 helps me be able to trade on the go so much easier.
The new GalaxyAI feature is a can't miss feature whether I'm researching companies or just searching the web.
Samsung Galaxy has been a mainstay for me since.the Galaxy I. Samsung can do no wrong in my eyes.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really do love this phone. But not long ago, I opened my bigger inside screen. And it made a horrible sound and the middle where it folds turned black. Now I am unable to use the bigger screen. And I'm very disappointed.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the ZFOLD. The screen is perfect no matter what I'm doing. It's an all-in-one device. I haven't used a separate ebook reader since I got it. Have not tried the Galaxy AI yet, but will do so soon. I would not own any phone but a Samsung Galaxy.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The phone is excellent especially the multiple screens that can be used at the same time. I am a truck driver so I'm able to check my logs on one screen, have my stops on another and use maps all at once. Many phones don't have options like these I can't wait to see the new functions of the new version as well as see how galaxy AI performs.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The fold, app adaption may vary, is pretty great as an actual miniature tablet in your pocket. Folded, the size is great for single handed use. Open and the phone is basically a mini tablet or monitor if you're watching anything. Also better to play any mobile games on if you've ever gripped about how small the screen is for gaming.
Only down fall is finding the perfect case for it. There's a wide variance, with the biggest problem being that you have to have a way to have two covers in one, there's many attempts at figuring out how to keep the frame attached to the phone. Or if the frame is too thick, it's noticeable around the edges and you will slowly grow frustrated trying to swipe on the sides.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the portability and features and the Galaxy AI features i have had 3 of them starting with the Z-fold 3 and the 4.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Z Fold5 has came a long way since the initial fold device with a sturdy hinge increased screen protection to prevent creasing and amazing camera. I'm glad I selected this model with it being the the best Samsung device I've owned.
