Is the Galaxy Z Fold 5 a better tablet or phone? I used it over the weekend to find out

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 open and closed.

For a while, I've had two phones at the ready — an iPhone 14 Pro Max and a Galaxy Z Fold 5. When I turn to the iPhone, I use it as I would any handset. But that hasn't been the case with the Galaxy Z Fold 5, which has I treat more like a tablet when I'm using it.

That probably isn't all that surprising — I’ve never had a foldable phone before, so there's a novelty factor to using the full 7.6-inch interior display. But it also turned out to be somewhat limiting, as I've been less inclined to take the Galaxy Z Fold 6 anywhere or use it for tasks other than watching videos or reading the occasional article.
