This is a device I am so so excited to own. I have wanted the Samsung Fold since the first model 5 years ago, watching all the reviews year on year. The competition is picking up but the Fold 5 still looks like the best, so this year I thought I would take the plunge!

This is the 256gigabytes model with 12gigabytes of ram, and has the latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor, which is the fastest in the market!

Like other Samsung devices, it uses Android 13, layered with Samsungs own user interface... With alot of improvements vs Vanilla Android.

The phone looks beautiful closed, and fits perfectly in the hand and pocket.
The outer screen is narrower then conventional phones, like the S23, but it's easy to hold and use. Ideal for notifications, sending messages or watching a video. Also perfect for controlling your favourite tunes on the move.

The inner screen is a 7.6ins and looks amazing. It's perfect to browse the web and watching favourite videos at home or commuting to work.

Setting up the handset was ease being a seasoned android user, but I've read it easy to move over from iOS.

The device is expensive and an investment, so I purchased a Samsung case which also includes a SPen, which is slim and easy to install. so can be used with your fingers or with a special Pen.

The device also has a great camera. Photos can be taken using the out or inner screen. The quality is amazing and still looks like one of the best on the market. You can use the fold as a stand when taking photos. Very useful when taking a group picture.

With regards to daily usage - I spend mornings commute 1hr on a train and this phone is perfect for reading and sending work emails. The Fold5 makes it very easy, especially when I am sent a spread sheet! No more zooming in and out!! It's also great when wanting to catch up on my fav shows while on the move.

What's my over all impression? Well... This is an amazing device, and far better then what I expected.
Like all the 2023 Samsung models, it's fast, easy to use and an amazing build which feels great to hold and use.
Did I make the right choice buying this item... Definitely!!
