Hands on: Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 being held in the full unfolded mode

Can you believe that its been five years since Samsung embarked on what, at the time, seemed like an impossible task; bringing a foldable phone to the mass market? While it wasn't exactly the smoothest launch in history, with an eyebrow-raising price tag and a screen protector that would render the handset unusable if you removed it, we can't deny that Samsung has since learned its lessons and succeeded in popularising the folding phone.

But enough reminiscing, we're looking at the latest and greatest Galaxy Z Fold 5, Samsung's leanest Z Fold phone yet. It's thinner, lighter, brighter and features a better battery life despite not using a bigger cell; so far so good. But what else is new? Well here is where the momentum begins to slow, as the Z Fold 5 is more of an iterative yearly update; Samsung has instead focused on bringing the Z Flip 5 up to date this year.
