Samsung has released the Galaxy Z Fold 5. And it looks great! But I'm going to keep on using my GooglePixel Fold. Here's why.
This story is part of our Samsung Galaxy Unpacked 2023 coverage Samsung has had a jam-packed Galaxy Unpacked event in Seoul, South Korea. We now have three new tablets with the Galaxy Tab S9 series, two new Galaxy Watch 6 wearables, the compact but capable Galaxy Z Flip 5, and of course, the Galaxy Z Fold 5.
On the other hand, I never liked the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 cover display, which is too tall and narrow with the 6.2-inch size, and Samsung has not changed that with the Galaxy Z Fold 5. This super narrow screen means a smaller, more cramped keyboard that I could never get used to, and it is harder for me to use one-handed as I have smaller, petite hands.
When I’m out and about, I prefer just using the cover display rather than having to open it up every time I want to use the device. It’s easy to do this on the Pixel Fold, but not with Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold options. However, one of the things that I’ve noticed with all of the Samsung devices I’ve tried is the fact that it tends to make colors oversaturated, bright, and vibrant. Now, this doesn’t sound bad at first, but when you take a photo on a bright and sunny day with a Samsung device, those vivid colors can be a little too intense.
It is possible that improvements to the image signal processor with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip will help the Galaxy Z Fold 5 in this regard. However, considering the images I got with the Galaxy S23 when I reviewed it earlier this year, I’m not holding my breath for any massive changes.
