As for battery, im positively surprised. Mah isnt that much but even with New phone hype6and heavier usage, it hasnt run out yet during the day, as i aim to only charge My phone over night. I think despite smallish battery, the so2and optimizations really help.
And 100% think that its REALLY far from perfect phone and those Two problems arnt even in the top 5 problems for me.

The hype's wearing off. Seems like Samsung didn't impress the audience even with the bigger cover screen of the Z flip 5.

How are the selfie cameras for yall? I have to say that especially the inner screen selfie camera is the worst I've used in 10 years, no competition. The cover display selfie cam seems a bit better, but still also pretty awful results comapred to my previous OnePlus Nord 2T for example.
Of course I know that unlike with the OnePlus, I can use the main camera in the selfie mode and this will be a superior result but even with the controls on the cover screen while doing it, it's still hardly a convenient way to take selfies with the phone unfolded. Also plenty of apps, such as snapchat, of course does not understand such feature anyways, so you are stuck with selfie cams.

First day thoughts with the Fold 5.
Overall it's pretty neat, and I suppose it'll take some getting used to, but I cant shake the negative feelings about the cover display aspect ratio. The phone is almost like something closer to Surface Duo, where you have no cover display cos you dont want to use it. Doing anything other than maybe answering a call from it does not feel nice.
Also somehow pretty bulky, even if it's dimensions arnt that much bigger than most competition, but I think it's the boxy design that Im not used to either.
Still waiting for S Pen in the mail, but Ive tried that before and liked it.
Inner screen experience is definitely great.

I got my 512GB Icy Blue Fold5 today in Kaduna Nigeria after placing the preorder on Monday. It came with a free charger. I am still expecting my Watch6 Classic, the free slim case with pen and galaxy buds2 pro by next week. I am upgrading from Fold4. I like the blue color and new hinge

shadi, 05 Aug 2023I was so excited waiting the fold 5, but after i knew the ... moreI decided to get the Fold 5 while waiting for the V2. I'll get to use this for a few months (havnt had a foldable before) and then demo out the V2 when it finally comes (hopefully with stylus). I dont care about the waterproofin personally (dont mind if its there but doesnt change my decision one way or another).
However I dont expect to stay with the Fold 5. I want the phone to feel like a full phone when in cover display, not a makeshift cover display while you cant open it. Losing wireless charging will be a bummer, but probably worth it when charge speed goes from 25w to 66w or something.
But lets see, hope i dont fall in love too much with the Fold 5 software in these months.

Big disappointment, do think carefully to buy foldable phone...I has zfold4 with samsung care+ expire Sep 2023. I use for 10 months thr screen protector got bubble on the crease. Sent to Samsung service center and asked to wait 1 month because all service centers have no stock in Indonesia. I asked the staff if need to peel off the screen protector to avoid lcd damage but the staff wait until new screen protector arrive and replace by authorized staff. After 1 week the lcd damage got black on crease from top to bottom and getting wider day by day. I went to ssc again to find the same staff and they made me have to wait LCD another week. After 1 week I check, they said need to wait battery another week where not informed before. It just simply screen protector but this biggest brand has no stock and cause other parts damage and make customers wait for weeks. I won't buy new foldable phone in this 3 years before the phone has improved inner lcd and hinges.

Anyone who bought foldable phone didn't make a mistake. Yes, they have some lacks, but which phone don't! Samsung's Folds are excellent phones, great features, beautiful screens, much more options than "regular" phones. I've had my Z Fold 3 for two years and I am still very satisfied. So, if anyone is planning to buy Z Fold, go ahead, you won't regret. My next will be almost certainly Z Fold 6, or 7...

I've been spending a few different days demoing the Fold 5 and Honor Magic Vs back and forth.
The Fold 5 is surely tempting, but I feel the narrow cover display just isnt very useful and pricing is the other factor. The software really is impressive though and I'm sure I wouldnt exactly be let down with a Fold 5 either. But I just feel it's not a 500€ worth better than some competitors. Really depends on how that Magic V2 turns out as well as what is OnePlus bringing out.

Bought my first foldable phone, the Z Fold5 and I'm loving it. Getting used to such a big screen. Got a 512GB option for the price of the 256GB and additional carrier discount.
