[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had an older model of the flip which I decided wasn't for me as I didn't enjoy having to open every single time I needed to do anything beyond the basic functions. However the fold 5 has been my favorite phone of all time. If you were on the fence about foldables because of the hinge worry not. I never need to open it. The slim profile of the phone when closed is perfect. That being said when I want to watch a movie or draw something the opened tablet style mode is perfect for both. I would 100% recommend this or by proxy the newer model.
As for Galaxy AI, I've just started using it but it's been a helpful little assistant so far. Definitely recommend trying it out.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love my Fold. Bigger is definitely better and the ability to open my Fold up for 2x the viewing is unparalled. Trying to do anything significant on a tiny screen is impossible. On my Fold 5 I can edit word and excel documents. I can screen share while sitting at the pool. And because it has great battery life, whatever I'm doing I can do all day long.
On the negative side, it is heavy and a little thick... it's a bit long due pants pockets and a bit heavy for a shirt pocket (but I often carry in one pocket or the other, even so). In one year of use, I've really only had two issue: the fold in screen makes it hard to drag items across without having to regrip them, and, the screen protector on the inside screen separates from the screen after about 9 mths (which is a mfg flaw to me), creating bubbles and an annoying popping noise as the adhesive shifts around. Still, fantastic device and I love it.
Of the Samsung AI features, grammar assist is what I use regularly, but translate and circle to search are also convenient on occasion.
Samsung galaxy fold 5 review (the good or the bad)

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The samsung galaxy fold 5 is a great feeling and looking designed phone that's good. I wish it had a s pen in the device like the s24 that's bad. The AI abilities are getting better and better as time goes on that's good. I am not the best at understanding how to use them that's a bad on me 😅 All the photos I've taken on my fold 5 look so vivid and sharp that is so good. The under display camera not the best photos that is bad. The phone is an amazing buy over all from it's folding display that makes it feel like a tablet and lets you enjoy a show in a bigger screen, the battery that last all day or just how good the AI is and is going to get.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I read the pros and cons before I purchased my z-fold 5 and I still wasn't sure about investing in the z-fold. Due to consistently forgetting my reading glasses, needing a larger screen and not wanting to juggle multiple devices, I made one of the best purchases of my entire life!!!
I absolutely love, love, love my z-fold! My phone is the best of Samsung. It has every camera attribute, voice and Galaxy AI capabilities, Biometric security, it has a long lasting battery. Viewing videos, playing games and multitasking on the z-fold full screen is the best of the best. In my opinion, this is the cellphone ever offered.
I refuse to ever purchase any brand other than Samsung, and since I purchased my z-fold, I am spoiled rotten. So thank you, Samsung!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Z Fold5 is by far the best phone I have ever owned. It is easy to use and the phone itself explains how to use all of its features. The camera is amazing and has so many built in filters and features. I love to use my s pen to edit photos and play games. The Galaxy AI is like having a smart friend that always answers their phone. So helpful! Being able start a project on my laptop and finish it on my phone saves me so much time. I am definitely a Samsung customer for life because of this.phone. I would recommend this phone to anyone.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had the fold 3, and 5. I love the giant screen I can fold in half and put in my pocket. I am a truck driver. I use my phone for all my in truck electronics needs. It is my phone (of course), my navigation, my portal for communication with my dispatcher and customers via text and email. The large screen makes seeing my route and access points on Google maps very convenient. It is fantastic for watching videos and movies in my down time. I wouldn't want to have to go back to a smaller screen again. I don't use the Galaxy AI, but I can see how it may be convenient for some. If I had to find something to gripe about, it would be the screen protector coming up over the fold. It has been an issue since this whole line of phones were released. The screen protector is owner replaceable now though, so at least you don't have to go to a service center anymore, like on earlier models. Just as a suggestion to Samsung, building in a spot for an s pen into the phone would be fantastic. I had the note 1,3,4,5,7,8, and 10 and I loved them just for the built in stylus. Overall I love my fold 5, just like I did the 3 before it
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I honestly never thought id love this phone but i never had the need to use my ipad for work and school now. I can do everything on this phone. The AI really makes it easier for me to study for my grad school. The AI technology on this phone is really amazing.
