Galaxy Z Fold5: The ultimate in productivity with a big display
Offering a large wrap-around display and long battery life in the thinnest and lightest Fold to date, Galaxy Z Fold5 is easy to take anywhere while delivering the most powerful performance in the Galaxy Z series.
Galaxy Z Fold has pioneered the transformation of everyday productivity through a robust large-screen experience, evolving from Multi Window and App Continuity to a wide range of features including Taskbar, drag and drop, and third-party app optimization. S Pen Foldable Edition introduced on the third generation Fold in 2021, has also been refined to deliver a superior typing experience on the Galaxy Z Fold5. These features and tools come together to deliver powerful productivity on a large screen and enable users to complete important tasks from anywhere.
The enhanced Taskbar enables dynamic productivity by allowing users to quickly switch between frequently used apps. Now, up to four recent applications are ready for more efficient work. The new enhanced two-handed drag-and-drop feature can also increase productivity when moving content between apps and screens. Simply press and hold an image in Samsung Gallery with one finger and use the other finger to open the Samsung Notes app and drag and drop the image. With pop-up hidden (hidden pop-up window), an app can continue to run in the background, allowing users to watch full-screen video content and chat with friends in a floating pop-up window on the side of the screen.
The new slimmer and more compact S Pen Foldable Edition makes it easier to annotate and brainstorm in real time, while fitting more comfortably in a pocket. The S Pen Slim Case is about the same thickness as a regular Fold case and is available in various styles and colors so users can carry their S Pen in style.
The 7.6-inch Main Display offers a wide, uninterrupted view so users can enjoy their favorite movie in portrait or landscape format. In addition, the maximum brightness has increased by more than 30% to 1,750 nits for an optimal outdoor viewing experience, even in bright sunlight.
The Snapdragon® 8 Gen 2 Mobile Platform for Galaxy, which offers users an immersive gaming experience on the largest Galaxy smartphone display, enhances graphics and uses AI to enable dynamic gaming and multi-gaming functionality. Galaxy Z Fold5 can comfortably support marathon gaming sessions thanks to its advanced cooling system that dissipates heat more intelligently for less lag and no drop in performance.
