Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 (& Flip 5) The 2023 Samsung foldables

You're one of the people who got your trade in stolen in Texas like my husband did and like I did with my defective return. Does the idea of having that happen again deter you a bit? It definitely does us. That and not wanting to give up the 10x zoom on my S23 Ultra for the flip form factor. I'd still have the S22 Ultra with the s pen and zoom but I still don't want to do it.
This is one of the reasons my husband hasn't budged from his Fold 3. Edit: his fold is not the Fold 4.

Quite the GF5 backlash online.
I think people really want a wider cover screen and a
better inner camera. I’m assuming we get both with the GF6.
I personally feel the new hinge, brighter inner screen, and lower weight are huge upgrades. If the OPO ends up being lame for some reason I think I’ll get the GF5. But I’d rather get the OPO for the wider cover screen and the triple speakers. We shall see.

Just do it. It's not always about a single feature like the best camera, best display, best battery life, etc...I changed over to a Flip because I was tired of the slab form factor. People who buy a flip typically can buy any phone they want, and are fully aware of their options. The flip just gives you a refreshing "new" way of using your phone. Opening and closing the phone to make and take calls is just satisfying. The compact form factor is so convenient and a pleasure to have. In my opinion, Samsung's software is the best in the business for privacy (secure folder) and customization. Nobody has a sandboxed feature like secure folder. Really looking forward to what One UI 6 will bring.

And the odd thing is… Z Fold 4 received a wider cover screen from the previous generation. So, I didn’t expect Samsung to do it again consecutive years. What it all comes down to is the fact that there is competition… and the Pixel Fold has been well received by the public due to its cover display.
And the UDC should have been improved OR the selfie camera on the outer display. They didn’t touch neither of the cameras across the device… inner selife camera, outer selfie camera nor the main camera. Although, S22U and S23U were nearly identical… they at least improved on the main camera.
I’m just surprised a new hinge and the crease still looks about the same. Other brands with new hinges their crease looks far better.
I don't think Samsung cared much for the Fold this time around.
It's strongly rumored the Fold 6 will be a redesign. I hope Samsung listens to it's fan base (which they usually do), and include top notch cameras. Huawei's foldable has periscope camera. I'm hoping to see the same for the Fold 6.

Yeah fair. Plus my phone carrier is offering a free Galaxy Watch 6 Classic with the purchase.
I think the Flip 5 will sell well. The larger cover display is a massive win. The Fold 5? Not sure why anyone would buy it when they can get basically the same exact phone (minus a few details) with a Fold 4 and save a TON of cash.
A lot of people (even hardcore Samsung'ers) are upset that the 5 is almost exactly the same as the 4 except for a new processor (congrats, you can open Twitter .00004 seconds faster now) and the new hinge.
Cover display is the same, cameras are the same, battery is the same, etc,etc,etc is the same. The Fold 5 is a massive fail from Samsung.

I agree! I think Samsung attention were more toward the Flip this time around.
But this one guy had a chance to see some Fold 6 prototypes....
Thanks for the info..
I prefer Samsung OS and would buy the GF6 at launch if they fix the terrible tall and skinny cover display.. The Pixel Fold is almost perfect in that regard and while I don't expect Samsung would copy them, the GF6 needs to be wider and shorter for me to consider it.
Come on Samsung, you can do it!
Looking like I'm the only one who likes the changes they made to the Fold 5.
The trade in fiasco is definatley on my mind! A friend of a friend has a Flip...and just like the Fold he has to constantly flip it open to use the phone. I think that might wear on me after a while to be honest. Just my personal thing though.
Wider is coming I believe it...now let's get a nice color on these phones hehe
If they implement a wider aspect ratio with that S-pen slot. Game Over!!!!
I just realized that the education discount doesn't do checks.
Add that to the existing $1,000 trade in. A 512GB Z Fold 5 is $600.

Well, if that is the Fold 6, then maybe I'll have to switch back from the Pixel fold. Hopefully they make the outer display also compatible with the SPEN.Wider is coming I believe it...now let's get a nice color on these phones hehe
Amen ! preach on.... I mean the form factor is so important I think a lot of people don't realize it until they have a phone in hand and using it daily with front display properly...
If you guys want to have some entertainment lol forward through Flossy's video when he's doing the one-handed flip mode open on the foldables lmao..
Foldable tech never really been something that’s intrigued me enough to actually want to get one. They are expensive and I do understand it’s exciting technology but it just doesn’t really interest me. Although it’s nice to see how well it evolves over time but it is in its infancy to a degree.
I personally wouldn’t find myself getting one. 1 being cost and 2 being how scared I would be to take the thing places like the beach for example.
