[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Aloha, this phone is great. A bit hard to hold on its own But with the case it's all good. The features suit my needs and processing speed is great. Seems to be pretty sturdy soo far, although a black dot has appeared in the middle of the big screen. We shall see what that is soon... camera could be a little better yet still take good pics and vids. Gaming is seamless until I get laggy...
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the inside screen, great for watching movies or just scrolling. I can never go back to a standard phone, I have been spoiled with this one. I'm pretty new to Galaxy AI, so far it seems very interesting
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The phone has worked for everything that I've needed it to it does really cool things it really gets the attention of everybody around it's a fun that I would recommend to everybody
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am now a second time Fold owner, very happy. Its been my goto device for just about everything, love the inside large screen, the versatality and funtionality of a phone and tablet in one. And now it has Galaxy AI. Another enhacement to my galaxy. Just started checking it out. Overall I am super satisfied...may even trade up to the upcoming Fold 6 just because I have been happy with the Fold since 3
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It's been half a year since I purchased my Z Fold 5 and it has been a wonderful experience. My only gripe is the cover screen... When I first purchased it, the screen was easily scratched by my keys. It wasn't on purpose I forgot my keys were in the same pocket as my phone. Otherwise, the phone has performed very well. I love it's features including the main big screen. Battery could be better as well but it's okay overall. Also, Galaxy AI is hands down one of the best features I've had on this phone. Using search without going to the home screen is amazing 9/10!!!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The two elongated screens is OK, however I would prefer a more square shape so when it was folded out it would be closer to a 16:9 ratio for watching movies in the "default" position as some applications won't rotate during video watching.
The availability of using a pen is a MUST for me as I do sometimes miss the tactile sensation of writing. I think the pen feature is what has brought me back to Samsung ever since the Note2
The one lost star is a SIGNIFICANT one: the over heating when closed and riding in a car if it has a case on. Now, don't get me wrong, I think the issue is industry wide in lack of planning for cases in the over heating element. However, it really is the only downfall I find, but sadly, in Texas, I find that every drive between June and October I get alerts of over heating.
It is hot down here people, and folding phones ESPECIALLY seem to feel it. So if you can try to emulate this and/or create a standard of rating for phone cases that are "protecting but allow for optimal functioning" that would be ideal.
I haven't embraced Galaxy AI as of yet, but that's mostly because I feel confident in my communication style and self research.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall the phone is okay. Has decent performance, good quality screen, good sound, nice response, decent photos.
The fold part has a niche application focused primarily on gaming. Wanted it for more business application but found the S23 Ultra better suited to business tasking. I also found the performance on the S23 Ultra faster and easier to hold with most games.
The larger folding screen does a great job at hiding the crease when it's open and lit, does a good job at blending...but I do hope it gets better in the future. There is some subtlety to the area that can be improved in future generations.
Not too happy with how fat the phone is, sticks out in the pocket. Found a belt holder is better to keep it from digging into the hip. The price for the phone doesn't meet the provided perks. You pay a significant premium for the folding novelty that somehow represents more of a status (or debt) indicator.
