One of the main reasons I’m rocking the S23 Ultra is because it proudly keeps one of my favorite parts of the now defunct Galaxy Note series alive –– the S Pen. It seems like a crying shame that Samsung’s treating one of my favorite accessories like an afterthought.
We saw an average of 807 nits for the Z Fold 4’s brightness while the Pixel Fold pulled off a surprise win of 1,172 nits. The Fold 4’s Cover Screen got 146.7% on the DCI-P3 color gamut compared to the Pixel Fold’s 90.1%. While we don’t have any benchmarks for the Fold 5 yet, its predecessor could provide a small hint as to what we can expect. I don’t know, I was expecting a bit more I guess. However, Samsung hasn’t really added any notable updates to enhance the functionality. And scanning through notifications is a breeze. I could type with ease, which would definitely come in handy for texting on the fly. In practice, the Cover Screen was smooth with crisp detail. Although not as large as the main display, the 6.2-inch panel isn’t a slouch, in fact, it can go head-to-head with many smartphones currently on the market. When you’re on the go, or just don’t feel like going through the hassle of opening up your device, the Z Fold 5’s Cover Screen has you covered. Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 Cover ScreenĪnd while the interior display is unquestionably lovely, one shouldn’t forget the Cover Screen which has its own unique appeal.

If this turns out to be true in benchmarking, the Fold 5 could be one of the brightest smartphones if not the brightest we’ve ever tested. Samsung claims that it’s increased the Z Fold 5’s brightness by 30% up to 1,750 nits, making it ideal to use in direct sunlight. The Pixel Fold's Adaptive Brightness result was much dimmer at 435 nits. The Fold 5 is also pretty bright averaging 901 nits with Adaptive Brightness enabled. If I have to go by the Fold 4’s benchmarks, I don’t have much to worry about as the foldable reproduced 158.7% of the DCI-P3 color gamut compared to 88.4% on the Pixel Fold. That means if you’re reading a book, the panel will refresh at a lower rate, but if you’re doing something a bit more taxing like playing a game, it’ll ramp up accordingly.
And you have the Adaptive Refresh Rate that automatically adjusts the refresh rate between 1-120Hz according to your recent activity. The Infinity Flex panel has a 2640 x 1080-pixel resolution with a 21.6:18 aspect ratio. And when the spell is cast, I’m left with a stunning 7.6-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display. Seeing the pattern unfurl like a graceful Rorschach test is absolutely mesmerizing, especially with the crisp blacks and rich color. I have to say, opening a foldable with as pretty a screen as the Z Fold 5 just does it for me. It cannot, however, be exposed to salt water so take Z Fold 5 for a beach day at your own peril, especially since it’s also not dust resistant. That means it can survive a dunk in a toilet and the subsequent panic and disgust that ensues as you decide whether or not to fish your nearly $2,000 phone from the toilet. The foldable is also rated IPX8, which means the phone can withstand being submerged in up to 1.5 meters of freshwater.
