Photo sensors (rear)

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 is equipped with three different photo sensors. On the one hand, it is possible to capture images with a 23 mm equivalent wide-angle lens (f/1.8) accompanied by a 50 Mp sensor. All with optical stabilization by sensor shift.

For long-distance photos, Samsung relies on a telephoto lens (f/2.4) with a 12 Mp sensor, overshadowing the iPhone 14 Pro Max with similar capabilities.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5 finally offers a telephoto lens backed by a 10 Mp sensor.

When we compare the processor of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5 to that of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4, we see that the manufacturer has moved to a higher generation, including for the drop hinge of water that allows the device to be flat, 2.4 mm thinner and 10 grams lighter.

The internal screen is significantly more durable – we are talking about particularly resistant Gorilla Glass Victus 2 and aluminum armor technology, which should reassure customers in the category. Samsung claims that the screen is 25% more resistant. Its new-generation hinge has been tested to withstand 200,000 openings and closings by Bureau Veritas.

It is certified to be resistant to immersion in fresh water (IPX8) for a maximum of 30 minutes. In addition, the device contains many more recycled components. Its repairability index is also evolving favorably, at 8/10.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5 is a folding smartphone, with the fold in the vertical direction. Folded, the device offers a screen with a very elongated ratio because the unfolded format is almost square. The idea here is to replace your tablet on public transport or as soon as you have the opportunity to switch to the larger display, while the mobile version of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5 is more compact and fits in all pockets.

The large 7.6″ internal screen of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5 will be ideal for watch series, play games or even for productivity tasks. It has an exceptional brightness of 1750 nits compared to 1300 last year, which puts it on a par with the Galaxy S23 Ultra screen.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5 is powered by the Android 13 operating system, with Samsung's One UI 5.1.1 overlay . It is supported for 4 years for Android updates and 5 years for security updates.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5's precise battery life is still unknown, but the foldable smartphone packs the same slightly larger battery as the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4, at 4,400mAh. We can assume that this capacity will last the day like its predecessor.

The Galaxy Z Fold 5 is equipped with 12GB of LPDDDR5X RAM, regardless of the version.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold is powered by a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor, engraved with a precision of 4nm. It's also the chip that equips the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra.
