It is a very sadistic matter to payhuge money for this phone in such a way. For example, 1 week back, my phone (Fold5) 512 camera lens wheel popped up during the opening of the official Samsung S Pen slim case. How ridiculous are the results from an expensive phone's built architecture? However, I noticed in the camera lens hole that there was glue drying, so next I had to pay to fix this at the Samsung Care Service Center.

add my comment above
6. Shock foam, there's new shock foam that can reduce impact on usage and pressure, prolonging the display life span
7. Better hinge which is smooth
8. Better camera, in 8 gen 2 samsung phones the 50mp is automatically use enhanced pixel mode like on s22 ultra and fold 4 series, it's quite sharp

User from fold 4 to 5, any review? i use fold 4 before but dropped it and cause to have greenline so i sold it in a loss, looking at the fold 5 but the upgrade is minor but all around
1. Better battery life even if it's still same 4400mah and same 25w charging speed, the 1.5 hours charge time is a pain but if the fold 5 have better battery life than fold 4 (my fold 4 SOT around 4 hours) i'm gladly count it as advantage
2. Better gaming performance due to 8 gen 2 and better VC, the VC in fold 5 not only larger but thicker in 3D vs old fold 4 is still 2D
3. Performance also based on benchmark it's on par with other 8gen 2 in stress test so is cool for a foldable
4. The chip 8 gen 2 itself does came with a lot of power saving, better AI model, better power efficient, cpu , gpu , ai, ram and UFS, this add avantage with better battery life than fold 4
5. Better design, close flat, less weight (10gram) and more compact design which give better handling
Any else? the charge time can vary from review, i see 1 hour 1x minutes or 1 hour 2x minutes using official 25w

Never ever again a Samsung, I purchased the fold 5 in Dec 23. I loved the 2 screens, ver handy. Battery life pretty bad, from 7 am lasted to abt 4 pm.
Had a Invoice from Dec 23. After 10 months of use suddenly half of the main screen blacked out and flickered.
Samsung support via WA could not help, had to pass by a Samsung store. In the meantime something came loose from within the phone and came under the foldable screen. You could feel it. Of course after closing the phone it destroyed the screen which had afterward two bright lines.
Samsung store said they it was out of warranty, it was first registered in August 23 (I bought it new and have the invoice). They said that to replace the screen I also had to replace the front screen as per Samsung's policy. ( There was nothing wrong with it) Cost: US$ 1980!!! (nineteen hundred eighty), more expensive then a new one. Rest of the Samsung shoppers enjoyed my opinion about their shameless proposal and worthless guarantee. Never ever again, US 1500 through the drain. Before of other foldables as they are using Samsung screens as well.
