Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5: Should you buy it?
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 is a decent option for anyone looking for a flagship device offering a mini tablet-like productivity. With a massive discount of Rs. 60,000, it is an attractive deal for those who could not buy it after launch as it was expensive.

At the front is a massive 7.6-inch AMOLED inner display with a 120Hz refresh rate. The camera is included under the inner display. The user just has to unfold the device to watch content on a huge screen. It can even be used in tent or laptop mode or you can switch to an outer 6.2-inch screen anytime during usage, making it a regular smartphone.
The software has been well optimized for multitasking so you can run up to three apps simultaneously on the inner display. Also, the Edge Panel allows you to access apps and drag them onto the screen, making multitasking seamless.
Powered by Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, which isn’t the latest but a capable chipset, Galaxy Z Fold 5 gives fast performance. If you are a creator, gamer, or someone who needs RAW power, you should opt for Galaxy Z Fold 6 or Galaxy S25 Ultra, but otherwise, Galaxy Z Fold 5 is not very far behind.

Under the hood, the foldable has a 4400mAh battery which has been well-optimized to offer a playback time of 8-9 hours. It supports 25W charging, but the charger isn’t bundled inside the box. Foldables mostly compromise on-camera performance, but Galaxy Z Fold 5 comes with a 50MP main+12MP ultrawide+10MP telephoto sensor at the back. The triple lens setup offers a decent photography experience (review). There is a 4MP under-display camera on the inner screen which isn’t great but serves the purpose of video calls and selfies.
All-in-all, if your priority isn’t getting too much power and your budget is limited, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 with a discount of INR 60,000 is a smart deal.
