New to foldables, I've got a wishelist
on August 15, 2023
Posted by: Samsungluv
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love my new z fold 5 but there are 3 things missing (all stemming from the s pen)
1. A bluetooth s pen for foldables. I got the slim case bc I wanted the s pen but it's not bluetooth. The only other portion is to get the S pen Pro but that is inconvenient since there is no where to store with the phone (like in the phone case or in the phone) bc it's so large. I've used s pens for over a decade. I have had every Note series and every S series (except s23) and I miss the gestures and camera operation.
2. S pen built in like the previous Note series and the S series
3. Capabilities of using s pen on cover screen

Solid device with room to improve
on August 13, 2023

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you're familiar with Samsung smart phones, this phone will feel familiar but with an exciting foldable screen. I have no complaints over speed or battery life. Build quality is great as i would expect from Samsung. Screen is pretty too look at.
Improvement areas. Weird aspect ratios make the experience feel unrefined. Just make the fold screen something i can watch movies without a black bar. Super long screen in front is awkward and still requires 2 hands to use. Change the dimensions of the device to feel like a normal phone on outside and tablet on the inside. I had issues with wifi6e, the device kept reconnecting. Seems like Lte, 5g, lte+ would constantly keep switching however that may be my location. Spen case makes the phone thick. I wish it was just built in to phone. Cameras could use improving a they're not as good as the s22/23 line

Moved from a galaxy s21 ultra to the galaxy fold5
on August 13, 2023
Posted by: Tapper
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Had a galaxy s21 ultra for about 3 years and was interested in the fold phones due to screen size etc. The 3 days ive had this phone and have 0 regret on moving over to the fold! Big screen! Playing games has been amazing! They run so smooth and look amazing! Movies and even YouTube looks great also! 10/10 recommend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Samsung Fold 5 has been a great addition to my electronic arsenal. It's basically like having a laptop in your pocket! Definitely worth buying an S pen.

Amazing device
on August 14, 2023

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Fold5 is a great phone! It's awesome to have a mini tablet in your pocket. One complaint would be that the outer screen is a little narrow but the inner screen makes up for it.

It's not the fold it's the screen
on November 6, 2023
Posted by: Grezwal
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got my fold 5 a few days ago and so far so good. The most striking thing about this phone isn't the folding feature it's the outside phone screen. It's been a long time since I used a small phone screen and switching to the fold 5 gave me some serious nostalgia just from the front screen. I can do everything I need that involves social media and texting on the out screen and unfold when I want to read,watch a movie, or scroll through reddit.

From the note 20 ultra it's worth the upgrade
on August 21, 2023
Posted by: Loafglenn
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I upgrade to the fold 5 after my trusty note 20 ultra cracked the front screen and the repair cost just as much as a newish device.
I am upset that there's no SD memory card support on the fold 5 but the 512gb storage is good enough so far.
I see that outer screen is smaller than the n20u but the inner screen makes up for that. I got the case with spen and it works great but only on the inner screen and it doesn't have the Bluetooth connectivity like the n20u where you could use the spen to take pictures remotely.
So far the battery life and processing power the fold5 has last me a whole day as a self proclaimed power user. I get about a good 12hour+ screen on time mixed between the inner and outer display. I take it off the charger to head to work around 6am and I don't see my self charging it constantly like the n20u.
The inner screen allows me to use the split screen apps as if they were full size on a regular phone. One app on either side.
There's a few things that I'm still trying to customize to my muscle memory but I'm working on it.
I noticed that some apps don't work on the inner screen as the inner screen puts them in a tablet like mode. Such as Amazon shows up with borders on the sides and some apps just shut down saying that they're not compatible until I only use them on the outer screen.
The cameras are OK. They're not the ultra flagship super grand quality but they work and make acceptable pictures.
This being my first foldable I do get looks.
