Design and design of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5
Let’s start with what it looks like when it’s still unfolded. Still gets a 6.2-inch screen with a very sharp Dynamic AMOLED 2X. The screen resolution may be a little weird due to the bar design, but it’s still usable. Covered with 2nd generation Gorilla Glass Victus.
The top part of the screen has a speaker for listening to voice calls and a 10 megapixel front camera installed. Various sensor sides fully equipped
The lower part of the screen is the Android operating system control buttons that we can operate by pressing. or swipe touch
The body around the device is made from Armor Aluminum material, but this time, who is using the previous model? If you say that the new model It’s designed to be smooth when closed. and the device is clearly thinner (That is, when it’s not spread out, there will be 13.4 mm. and when unfolded it will be thin 6.1 mm.) The right side has the Power button, adjust the volume at the bottom. And at the top is the SIM card slot.
The left side is a newly designed hinge with a 4-axis mechanism, making the initial opening more stable and durable than before. It claims to be able to unfold and fold up to 200,000 times, and the core has a laser-etched Samsung logo.
Turning to the other side, there are speakers on both sides, but will they be loud? Read on in the picture and sound section. But on the top side there are 3 microphones.
The lower part has a USB along with the main microphone.
Turning over, the back of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5 still has the same matte surface. There are 3 cameras in total and there is an LED Flash and colors to choose from, but this time the Flash returns to the side of the main camera.
When seeing this, you can understand that the case is from Galaxy Z Fold4 It will not work with the Galaxy Z Fold5 case because it will hide the Flash, and the Galaxy Z Fold5 case will not work with the Galaxy Z Fold4 because the edges of the device are uneven.
Let’s open the screen inside.
Spreading the screen of Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5 Found that the hinges had a good weight and were clearly easier to open than the original model. The new mechanism design creates a closer fold, but the folds remain the same. But the 7.6-inch screen uses UTG glass, emphasizing stability. And the good thing is that there are fewer edges on the screen and a little more space, with Samsung revealing that it still has to be there because the design of the device is almost seamless, making it waterproof. Therefore it must be necessary to exist. But the future will fade with each generation of development.
The front camera inside is hidden as usual, has a resolution of 4 megapixels and is a camera hidden in the screen (Under Camera Screen).
Is it waterproof and dustproof?
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5 The device is also designed to be waterproof and dustproof. IPX8 Same as before, equal to being able to go into the water. But the dust must look at the situation. If it’s heavy, you shouldn’t use it. But if it’s light, it’s still bearable. So if anyone says that the screen isn’t smooth, I’d like to apologize. Samsung wants to design the device to be waterproof, so it must have no seams.
Weight of holding / Color of the machine
The entire machine design is thinner. New mechanism design In addition to being strong and easy to open, it also feels 10 grams lighter than the original model (253 grams), so it can be said that this improvement is not a waste of development. Helps to carry easily
As for the colors, there are Phantom Black, Cream and Icy Blue All are Matte colors and there are 2 more colors to choose from through Samsung.com.
A matter of sound and picture
screen of Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5 Both the outside and inside are Dynamic AMOLED 2x, supports colors that match the DCI-P3 level 100% and supports Dolby Vision Meets the needs of watching movies well, no matter what apps, plus a new hinge design to reduce the symptoms of pressing the screen and collapsing easily. When you press the screen to play games There is no swelling like the previous model. Definitely like gaming people.
As for the sound system from two speakers After listening to the test compared to the previous generation Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4, it was found that the smaller speaker holes were not a problem. Because it is expected that the speakers are designed to be vertical. The sound quality has a wider stage, making the sound look better than before. And if you turn on ATMOS, it’s more perfect as well. Plus you can adjust the sound in many different formats.
Performance / Game testing / Connectivity
Choosing the power source Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 For Galaxy That stands out for its very strong Prime Core, which makes playing with a high score. This is compared to the Samsung Galaxy that uses this power. Still considered powerful, but only slightly inferior to the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra. So who will use it to play games? It can be used.

Normally it cannot be done and still Direct Cut out the main scene.
