Samsung's latest folding screen flagship, the Galaxy Z Fold5, with its avant-garde design and excellent thin and light experience, meets the various needs of users for high-end flagship phones, and has become one of the most anticipated folding screen phones on the market. As the culmination of Samsung's technology precipitation in the field of folding screens over the years, Galaxy Z Fold5 is not only avant-garde and thin in hardware design, but also comparable to top flagships in terms of intelligent experience, coupled with reasonable pricing, it will surely become a new benchmark for foldable phones in the future.
The hardware design is ingenious
The design of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5 is nothing short of spectacular. It adopts a new super-closed Seiko hinge design, which makes the hinge more compact and durable as a whole through a dual-track integrated structure. Compared to its predecessor, the Z Fold5 is 10 grams lighter to 253 grams and 2.4 mm thinner in the folded form, making it the thinnest and lightest model in the Galaxy Z Fold lineup. The new waterdrop hinge design allows the phone to fit seamlessly when folded, greatly improving the protection performance and making the whole device more refined.
In addition to the excellent hinge design, Samsung has also put a lot of effort into the choice of materials. The bezels and hinged lid of the Galaxy Z Fold5 are made of high-strength armor aluminum, while the exterior screen and back panel are covered with Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2 glass. This combination of materials not only gives the phone excellent pressure resistance and overall durability, but also gives it a premium feel. Samsung has also further expanded the use of recyclable materials, including pre-consumer recycled aluminum and glass, as well as post-consumer recycled plastics, effectively reducing the environmental impact of the production process and demonstrating the concept of sustainable development.
The intelligent experience is transcendent
In terms of smart experience, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5 is definitely the top in the industry. It is equipped with Qualcomm's latest flagship processor, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy chip, which not only has extremely fast performance in system computing and image processing, but also has increased the power of GPU and NPU by 32% and 25% respectively, helping triple-A masterpieces to be easily controlled. Far surpasses the previous performance, and also deeply empowers scenarios such as multitasking and image creation.
Paired with an optimized 4400mAh battery and an upgraded cooling system, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5 delivers a long-lasting and smooth experience. In the flight test, it can play music for up to 73 hours and watch movies for 21 hours, and the power can support long-term use on a single charge.
The Galaxy Z Fold5 also has a large 7.6-inch second-generation Dynamic AMOLED display that supports a high 120Hz refresh rate and a peak brightness of up to 1750 nits, making it visible even in direct sunlight. The display has a 100% accurate DCI-P3 color gamut that optimizes color and contrast, and the display is outstanding. Whether it's gaming, audio-visual entertainment, or office learning, this large screen can bring an immersive experience.
Outstanding cost performance, leading peers
Not only does the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5 lead the pack in terms of hardware and experience, but its pricing is also quite competitive. In Taiwan, the Z Fold5 is available in 12GB+256GB, 12GB+512GB, and 12GB+1TB storage variants, with corresponding prices of NT$56,888, NT$60,888, and NT$67,888, respectively. Compared with other domestic brands of folding flagship models, Samsung's pricing can be described as quite affordable.
Even the entry-level 256GB version is only a few thousand yuan higher than the ordinary straight board flagship model, but it brings a large screen, multitasking, games and other all-round upgrade experience. For those who need a large screen, excellent performance, and a great imaging system, the Galaxy Z Fold5 is definitely a great value for money. Samsung's years of precipitation and technology accumulation in the field of folding screens have given Z Fold5 an absolute advantage in terms of cost performance.
