I own the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4. I bought it day one, actually, because Samsung made an offer I just couldn't resist. It has been a great phone for me, other than a frustrating experience trying to get it fixed after a hinge malfunction killed the display (foldable pains, unfortunately). I haven't really felt any desire to upgrade it leading up to the launch of its successor — every leak pointed to a boring, iterative upgrade.
Now, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5 is official! Yeah, it's a boring upgrade. Still, I find myself hovering over the "checkout" button on Samsung's website yet again, solely because the company's pre-order deals and discounts are just that good. Sure, I don't need a new phone, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't enjoy getting one. Here's what you can expect from the Z Fold5, and why it's so tempting to preorder it.
