Editorial report

Samsung Galaxy Fold 5G technical sheet

The Samsung Galaxy Fold 5G suits buyers looking for a foldable phone with strong hardware, provided 15 W wired charging—below average for phones of its time—is an acceptable trade-off. Unfolded, it offers a 7.3-inch Dynamic AMOLED display; its 362 ppi density is below average, and at 276 g it is among the heaviest phones of its time.

Performance is among the best of its time, backed by 12 GB of RAM and 512 GB of storage. The camera setup has 2x optical zoom, among the best of its time, and an f/1.5 aperture, among the brightest. The main camera’s 1/2.55″ sensor is smaller than average, though the camera overall is better than most phones of its time. Its 4,235 mAh battery has more capacity than most, while 15 W wireless charging is among the best.

Connectivity is better than most, with 5G, Wi-Fi 6 and USB 3.1. Design and display overall are average, while hardware ranks among the best and the camera is better than most. Its NeoScore is 6.3. This is a fit for buyers who value the foldable format, generous memory and multiple camera options, and can accept a heavy phone and modest wired charging. The mix puts hardware and versatility ahead of lightness and charging speed.
