\nSamsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 vs Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4: Design
\nThese two smartphones look so similar, that many people would not even be able to tell the difference. There are two easy ways to differentiate between them, though. The first one is how they look when they\u2019re folded. The Galaxy Z Fold 5 is the first device in the series that folds flat, the Galaxy Z Fold 4 does not. The Fold 5 also has an LED flash on the right side of its rear-facing cameras. The Fold 4\u2019s LED flash is located below the camera island.
\nBoth smartphones are made out of metal and glass, and both have the same form factor and shape. They both also come with flat sides all around. The Galaxy Z Fold 5 is a bit lighter, for about 10 grams, but that\u2019s the difference that you likely won\u2019t notice. Therefore they\u2019ll both feel very similar in the hand, especially when unfolded. The Galaxy Z Fold 5 does have a more durable hinge, though, which should make the phone and its foldable display more durable.
\nThey are basically identical in terms of height and width, that goes for both their folded and unfolded forms. The Galaxy Z Fold 5 is a bit thinner, though, but not by much. It\u2019s still nowhere as thin as some of the competition. Both phones do come with an IPX8 rating for water resistance, and they both feel like truly quality products in the hand. They are both quite slippery, though.
\nSamsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 vs Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4: Display
\nThese two smartphones have the same displays, actually, in all but one area. That goes for both their main and cover displays. A 7.6-inch 1812 x 2176 Foldable Dynamic AMOLED 2X display sits on both phones. That panel offers a 120Hz refresh rate, and supports HDR10+ content. We\u2019re looking at 373 ppi here, in case you were wondering.
\nSamsung Galaxy Z Fold 5
\nThe cover display measures 6.2 inches, and it offers a resolution of 2316 x 904. That is a Dynamic AMOLED 2X panel too, but not a foldable one. It has a 120Hz refresh rate, and it\u2019s protected by the Gorilla Glass Victus 2. The aspect ratio here is rather odd at 23.1:9, which makes the phone very narrow when folded.
\nThe Galaxy Z Fold 5\u2019s main display should be more durable overall, due to some improvements Samsung made, including a new hinge. Still, in terms of usability and image reproduction, they\u2019re exactly the same. They feel the same to use. Now, I\u2019ve mentioned that the two panels are not the same in one specific area. I was talking about the brightness. The Galaxy Z Fold 4\u2019s main panel can go up to 1,200 nits of brightness at its peak, while the Galaxy Z Fold 5 goes up to 1,750 nits. That is a considerable difference, especially when you\u2019re using the phone outdoors.
\nSamsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 vs Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4: Performance
\nThe Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 fuels the Galaxy Z Fold 5, while the phone also includes 12GB of LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.0 flash storage. On the flip side, the Galaxy Z Fold 4 is fueled by the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC. The phone also includes 12GB of LPDDR5 RAM and UFS 3.1 flash storage. The Galaxy Z Fold 5 does have more powerful internals, but how does that reflect on actual performance?
\nWell, we only used the Galaxy Z Fold 5 for a couple of days thus far, but the performance has been solid. We do notice that the apps on the Fold 5 load a bit faster, but other than that, the two phones seem to be on par in terms of performance. They both fly through everyday tasks, while they\u2019re also quite good for gaming. Both phones do get quite warm during gaming sessions, but that\u2019s perfectly normal.
\nSamsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 vs Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4: Battery
\nSamsung opted to stick with a 4,400mAh battery inside the Galaxy Z Fold 5. That is the same battery capacity the Fold 4 offers. The charging speed also remained unchanged, unfortunately. Both smartphones support 25W wired charging, in addition to 15W wireless charging, and 4.5W reverse wireless charging. Another thing to note is that neither of the two phones comes with a charger in the box. That 25W charging can get both phones to 50% in about 30 minutes, while it will take them about twice that much to reach a full charge.
\nWhat about the battery life? Well, it\u2019s similar to what the Galaxy Z Fold 4 offered, at least based on our initial usage. Getting around 6-7 hours of screen on time is doable, as long as you\u2019re not pushing the phone hard. If you\u2019re gaming on it, you can expect noticeably worse numbers on a daily basis. Granted, this is based on our usage, but your mileage may vary considerably. Not only because you\u2019ll use different apps, and have different signal strengths, but also because your usage will be different, and there are two screens included here. It all depends on how much time you\u2019ll spend on the inner screen. We did use the outer screen quite a bit thus far.
\nSamsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 vs Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4: Cameras
\nYou will find identical camera hardware on these two smartphones. A 50-megapixel main camera is included, with an f\/1.8 aperture, and OIS support. A 12-megapixel ultrawide camera also sits on both phones, with a 123-degree FoV. The third camera on the back is a 10-megapixel telephoto unit with 3x optical zoom support. On the main display, there is a 4-megapixel under-display camera, while a 10-megapixel selfie shooter sits on the cover display of both phones.
\nSamsung Galaxy Z Fold 4
\nIn case you\u2019re wondering about camera samples, well, they\u2019re not too different. It\u2019s not exactly a secret Samsung likes saturated images, as do most users. That\u2019s what you\u2019ll find on both of these. The images do seem to be a bit sharper on the Galaxy Z Fold 5, at least based on our initial impressions, but that could just be a placebo effect. We\u2019re in the process of reviewing the Galaxy Z Fold 5, so you\u2019ll get far more info in the near future.
\nAudio
\nWhen the audio is concerned, things are pretty much unchanged on the Fold 5. Both smartphones ship with a set of stereo speakers. Those speakers are tuned by AKG, and they sound more than fine. They\u2019re loud enough, and also detailed enough. We don\u2019t have any major complaints here.
\nWhat you will not find on either phone is a 3.5mm headphone jack. You can always use their Type-C ports for wired audio connections, though. If you prefer to go wireless, though, the Fold 5 supports Bluetooth 5.3, while the Fold 4 has Bluetooth 5.2 support.The post Phone Comparisons: Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 vs Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 appeared first on Android Headlines.
