Samsung has been a leading player in the foldable phone market, but the competition has been catching up rapidly. With the introduction of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5, Samsung aims to solidify its position and silence any doubts about its foldable legacy. This blog explores the impressive features, specifications, and expected price of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 in Nepal.
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 Design and Build
After four years of innovation, Samsung has achieved a gapless hinge design on the Galaxy Z Fold 5, making it sleeker and lighter than its predecessor. The new “Flex Hinge” reduces the crease on the main display, improving the overall design aesthetics. The device retains the “Armor Aluminum” frame but now features Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2 for enhanced drop resistance. The phone is also IPX8 water-resistant and has undergone rigorous testing for durability, capable of withstanding at least 200,000 folds. The Galaxy Z Fold 5 comes in “Icy Blue,” “Cream,” and “Phantom Black” color options, each featuring a matte finish at the back and glossy side rails.
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 Display
The Galaxy Z Fold 5 boasts a 6.2-inch Dynamic AMOLED panel on the cover, offering a 120Hz adaptive refresh rate and HD+ resolution. The main display measures 7.6 inches with a 120Hz adaptive refresh rate (LTPO) and a QXGA+ resolution. The main display also boasts a peak brightness of 1,750 nits, providing an excellent viewing experience even in bright conditions. The device is S Pen compatible, although the stylus is not housed within the phone. Instead, Samsung offers a slim S Pen case that complements the slimmer and lighter design.
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 Performance
The Galaxy Z Fold 5 comes with the special “Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy” processor, which provides roughly 5% better CPU and GPU performance than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 in general. Along with 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB of UFS 3.1 storage, the device includes 12GB LPDDR5 RAM. It runs on One UI 5.1.1 based on Android 13, promising a smooth and efficient user experience. Samsung guarantees 4 years of OS and 5 years of security updates, ensuring the phone remains up-to-date for an extended period.
Cameras
The Galaxy Z Fold 5 retains the camera setup from its predecessor, featuring a 50MP primary sensor, a 12MP ultrawide sensor, and a 10MP telephoto lens with 3x optical and 30x digital zoom. The main and telephoto cameras offer optical image stabilization for steady photography and videos. The cover display houses a dedicated 10MP front-facing camera, while a 4MP unit is tucked beneath the main display for selfies.
Battery and Charging
Despite the slimmer build, the Galaxy Z Fold 5 houses a 4400mAh battery, providing ample screen time. The phone supports up to 25W wired charging, 10W wireless charging, and 4.5W reverse wireless charging. A side-mounted fingerprint sensor ensures secure and convenient unlocking.
