The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 (stylized as Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5, sold as Samsung Galaxy Fold 5 in certain territories) is an Android-based foldable smartphone that was announced by Samsung Electronics on July 26, 2023, alongside the Galaxy Z Flip 5, Galaxy Tab S9 and Galaxy Watch 6. The unveiling marked the first time that the Galaxy Unpacked event was held in the company's home country of South Korea. The phone was released on August 11, 2023.
Along with the Galaxy Z Flip 5, the Galaxy Z Fold 5 is the final foldable phone to support 32-bit applications.
The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 features a book-style foldable design and is constructed with an Armor Aluminum frame and Gorilla Glass Victus 2 on the cover screen and back panel. Compared to its predecessor Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4, the device is thinner and lighter when folded, due to a redesigned hinge mechanism that minimizes the gap between screens.
The hardware of the Galaxy Z Fold 5 is structured around a foldable main display and an external cover screen, with internal components divided across performance, power, and camera modules detailed below.
The Galaxy Z Fold 5 features a triple rear camera system, along with front-facing cameras on both the cover and inner displays. Among its features is Dual Preview, which is supported on the native Camera app for devices running One UI 2.1 and later.
