The phone is great, however less than 3 weeks after the phone arriving, there is a black dot in the middle left side of the screen that is growing. I'm going to have to send the phone back. I'm pretty angry about it too. This phone should not do that. It's way too expensive and apparently it's not a unique problem to my phone.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

My wife and I really like the phones, but it's Samsung changing the software from the S23 that drives us crazy. They changed to Google text messaging, so now I can't delete most of a text with one or two clicks, I have to click each one, in one person's stream, to delete them. I can't get rid of outgoing text message sounds, unless I also get rid of incoming. Adding photos to a text has changed, and copying a text message requires a new step that is explained NOWHERE. In fact, the Samsung repair guy didn't know how, and had to ask someone else in the store. As with upgrading any electronic, there's a learning curve and we'll get through it. There are some cool features for sure, but I miss some of the older simpler stuff. Looking at pictures of videos on the double screen is really nice.
Like its slimness when folded for putting in my purse. Then having the larger screen when opened. Maybe the only negative is Solitaire/Poker games don't spread out evenly -- tend to get bunched at the bottom of screen, even when turned to the side. I've learned to work around it. The fingerprint is easier on the side than on the front of screen. Thus far battery holds up well and phone doesn't get too warm. Even though I plan to buy phone cases, still wish these came in a prettier variety of colors.
The phone is decent. The camera is no where close to the camera available on the S22 though. The rest of the features are decent enough and the bigger screen does make things easier for using office software such as excel. Gaming is average.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Keep your Z Fold 5. Not worth the upgrade to Fold 6.
