Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5 review: What’s new?

With the new Fold5, Samsung has not gone for a design overhaul or added new hardware elements. But there are important changes. The most visible one is in terms of the Flex Hinge. Samsung’s latest version of this hinge lets the phone close more tightly than before and this means the device is about 2mm thinner when folded. This makes the Fold5 way more portable than its predecessors — the two sides now fold flat without any space between the two. Samsung has also made the S-Pen thinner, though you need to invest in an additional cover to get hold of one.

One other change that is significant is the addition of an app dock at the bottom of the screen when you are using the phone unfolded. This means you have one-tap access to your most used and recent apps, instead of cycling between them as we are used to with Android phones. And this bar is where you are browsing, writing notes, or just scribbling with the S-Pen. It is almost like the dock on a Mac, and as useful. This also means the phone now handles multitasking and natural user behaviour like drag and drop much better — you can use two fingers to drag items now on this screen.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5 review: How do you use the extra large screen?

The Fold series phones have always reminded me of the extra large 7-inch phablets with calling that used to be the rage a few years back. There was nothing more awkward than holding a screen as large as your head to your ears to make a call.
