Samsung has officially lifted the lid on its 2023 book-style foldable, the Galaxy Z Fold 5, a similar-looking phone to the Z Fold 4, with modest updates including a closed-hinge-gap design, a lighter, slimmer body, updated internals, and an improved big-screen interface.
While the Z Fold 4 had very little competition when it launched in 2022, with Huawei being the only other phone maker selling big-screen foldables in the West, now, it's a different story. Honor dropped the lower-cost Magic Vs earlier in 2023, and the Google Pixel Fold is also taking the fight to Samsung with a periscope camera and Google's much-loved imaging system.
