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

[Tulani]

Why? Because of the chance the crease will still exist? The new water-drop hinge design helps improve on the screen durability not to out-right eliminate the crease.

The current hinge design puts so much stress on the inner-display which causes the screen protector to loosen up… there’s so many post in the reddit thread regarding this.

Galaxy Z Fold 5 display crease could be even less of a non-issue

Yeah, but according to the tipster it's only a 15 percent decrease.

As I've stated before if you hoping the Z Fold 5 will eliminate the crease all together... then you would be extremely disappointed. The crease will still be visible from certain angles, but from personal experiences... when I use the Fold it doesn't take away from the content I'm viewing. That's why the best course of action is to try and experience it for yourself.

more on the crease

Galaxy Z Fold 5 hinge might not solve the biggest problem that plagues Fold 4

So you are telling us the new hinge will impact a useful function and not noticeably minimize the crease?

it is getting more exciting

Fair enough.

But I’m curious have you ever tried out the Fold? Because it was one instance where a user was against the crease… even criticized Samsung heavily for it. But when they decided to give it a try… realized it wasn’t as bad as the public claimed it to be.

One week with the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 and my iPhone love will never be the same again

It’s a weird flex, but ok.

I'm guessing they was given the Fold to try for a week or two to write something up then return afterwards? Because they mentioned having to go back to the iPhone.

But I found this part interesting.

What was also fascinating to me was that my family, who are also die-hard iPhone users, didn’t share my enthusiasm for folding phones at all, and I think that’s when it hit me — folding phones are for geeks. And I’m a geek!

I have a different experience when interacting with iPhone users personally... they are enthusiastic about a folding phone especially when i show them some of the things i can do with it. From the S-Pen, customization and multitasking features. But the fact that it's Android... removes the idea of pursuing it. However, they are intrigued by it.

Counterpoint: Flip Phones Are a Dumb Idea

Now, I agree for the most part of what Gruber says about the flip phone... but its the intangiables he's missing. For the record, I've never owned a fliip phone... but from the reviews I've read about. They like the idea of flipping the phone open and closing it... something that can't really be explain, but experienced.

Then with the flex feature being able to take group photos or maybe do a recording for a quick presentation. And then there's the ability to use main camera to do selfies.

What Gruber is ignoring 50-70 years of history of the fashion industry

There was a fundamental change in clothing that led to currency notes being folded opposed to kept flat

It's something we take for granted now but no one keeps their dollar bills flat and the evolution of folding wallets and other personal affects that are pocketable

(You know the comment why fold your $$$'s in half they just become twice as thick square ........ )

Folding phones follow this simple yet learned trend of convivence that the masses of today use unquestionably other than critics of folding phones

Where's Miranda Priestly when you need her LOL

........It’s a relief to see Samsung bring the mechanically rotating bezel back. While there are bezel haters out there, it’s one of the most intuitive and distinctive smartwatch designs out there. Nobody else does it, which has historically helped set Samsung apart from the competition..........

Bezels are okay if it provides a function behind it (not a fan of Pixel Fold inner screen bezels). And that’s what Samsung has done for their Galaxy Watch with the rotating bezels.

It’s similar to how Apple designed their Dynamic Island around the hole punch out… I think Samsung should have took a page out of Apple book and added a name to their rotating bezels feature lol.

Slight price reduction? Seems kind of vague.

But nevertheless... I welcome any price reduction whether it's 20 bucks or 100 regardless if I'm not planning on purchasing it. Because bringing down the price of the Z Fold 5... would perhaps lead the Z Fold 6 being the same in cost.

"According to the report from Revegnus, the Fold 5 is expected to be priced at $1,699, which is $100 less than the price of the Galaxy Z Fold 4 when the phone was launched."

Even though I'm sticking with the Fold4, I'm happy for the price reduction and think it's a good business decision,too.
