Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 launched with improved hinge, Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC

Samsung today held its annual Galaxy Unpacked event in Seoul, South Korea. The event witnessed the launch of several new products, including the most awaited Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5. Debuting as a minor upgrade over the Galaxy Z Fold 4, the foldable brings a new hinge that lets it fold flat. You also get the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy chip from the flagship S23 series. Here are the details.

If you have seen the Galaxy Z Fold 4, you have also seen the Galaxy Z Fold 5. The camera module on the rear is the same as last gen model and so is the ingress protection (IPX8). What is not the same on the phone is the hinge. The company has opted for a new teardrop-shaped hinge that allows it to close flat. It will also let you use the phone at any angle. The Z Fold 5 measures 13.4mm thick when closed whereas the Fold 4 was 14.2mm thick. It has also lost some weight and is 10g lighter than the Z Fold 4, which weighs 263g.

The display on the phone hasn’t changed much either. The outer display measures 6.2 inches and offers a 2316x904px resolution. The AMOLED panel has a 120Hz adaptive refresh rate. On the inside, you get a 7.6-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X with 2176x1812px resolution, and an adaptive 120Hz refresh rate. The main screen can reach a peak brightness of 1,750 nits.

The new Galaxy Z Fold 5 is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 Mobile Platform for Galaxy but that’s about all. The camera system remains unchanged. There’s a 50MP primary shooter on the rear, accompanied by a 50MP wide-angle sensor, and a 10MP zoom camera. For selfies, you get a generous 10MP shooter on the cover screen and a 4MP under-display camera on the inside.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 is fueled by the same 4,400mAh battery with support for 25W wired and 15W wireless charging. It runs Android 13-based One UI 5.1.1 on the software front with a redesigned taskbar, a two-handed drag-and-drop feature, among other features. The S Pen for the foldable has also been made 40% thinner.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5 can be pre-ordered in select markets today and it will start shipping from August 11. The phone is offered in Icy Blue, Phantom Black, and Cream. Talking about the price, Galaxy Z Fold 5 comes priced at $1,799 for the 256GB variant, $1,919 for the 512GB version, and $2,159 for the 1TB storage option.
