We’ve now had a week with the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5 and some thoughts have formed. While we’re doing our tests and completing the review, we had a few watercooler thoughts about the new foldable. So here’s our early impressions.

It’s now time for small refinements.
Still, the Galaxy Z Fold5 looks nearly unchanged from its predecessor. Even worse, it feels identical as well. Samsung played it way too safe with the Galaxy Z Fold5.
Many people expected a move to a shorter and wider body style, similar to the new Google Pixel Fold, but Samsung stuck to the same formula. And while the Galaxy Z Fold5 is perfectly okay to use, its outer display is undoubtedly worse than competing horizontal foldables.
