Everything I need in more than I expected

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Perfect for someone who needs the functionality of a tablet without a committing to a second device. I use my phone for everything, so buying a tablet turned out to be a mistake. But this phone has proved to be all I could ever want. I use the unfolded screen everyday for studying, research, and videos. Often all 3 at once. The ability to display 3 apps at a time has made repetitive jumps between apps a thing of the past. It has saved me so much time to have everything I need displayed on one screen. Very grateful to have joined the Z fold family, and I hope to enjoy this device for a long time.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The first day I got this phone, I used the unfolded phone to look at spreadsheets. I absolutely love this phone as I was thinking of purchasing a tablet. I watch media on this phone and it is unlike anything else. The sound is great, great connectivity in the with Android Auto, the only complaint I have, when opening the phone, sometimes it does not switch to the inner screen. I reset the phone anytime it happens, maybe once a week. I'm sure an update will fix it in the future but extremely happy overall.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] 2nd time trying out the fold. Hoping that this will last longer than 3 months before the screen breaks.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love using the wider screen to play games and watch videos. Everytime I use my phone, everyone keeps on asking me about it. Fold 5 is my absolute favorite
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The device felt great when I opened it up. The hinges are awesome and inspire confidence and smiles. The small outer screen was a good fit for my smallish hands but the lack of actual real estate contributed to a cramped experience when using the front screen. Not a deal breaker but I felt I was gradually being pushed away from my typical phone activities unless I wanted to engage in them in tablet mode. The Fold 5 is a pretty good tablet but not a great tablet just yet, although I'm sure it will be someday. But I figured that going in. I was OK with buying a flagship phone with decent tablet capabilities. What I didn't realize was that its a decent tablet with middling phone capabilities. Also one that ran very hot when surfing the web or charging it and produced inadequate sound when playing media. After a lot of tweaks it still underperformed the Z Fold 4 in my home. After all that I was still willing to buy in until I read a book on it. The experience was great and I could see myself using it for this purpose a great deal. All doubts resolved, until I realized I was holding the most expensive e-reader in the world. I love it when flagship phones and other devices have other capabilities like a tablet for instance. Its not a good idea for the flagship device to minimize its functionality to be average at another function. I know this mostly boils down to what you want out of your device. Ask the Fold 4 lover in my home. Its considered he best gift I've ever given.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use my fold5 to stream games from home. The screen is huge and I can see all the details. Reading substack and books is great, the screen is very easy to see and the letters are clear. I can track notifications and respond to messages quickly on the outside screen. The device is extremely fast.
