My Fold 5 has arrived! (updated)

[ironass]

The Eagle has landed!

My pre-ordered black international Fold5, F946B, has been delivered here, in the sunny Cotswolds of the U.K. by DPD.

Let the fun begin!

(Can't fault Samsung and DPD for their prompt delivery at the date and time promised. Worth every penny of the £5 I slipped the chairman of Samsung )

First impressions

The SIM card tray is a bloomer to load with 2 SIM cards. Very fiddly to get them to sit correctly.

The hinge on the Fold5 is a big improvement on the Fold4. Very smooth opening and closing with a positive feel to it.

Side-by-side it is very difficult to tell the Fold4, (on the left), from the Fold5. The only difference is the gap when closed on the Fold4 and the positioning of the flash next to the top camera on the Fold5.

It's difficult to get the SIM card lined up in my Flip 3 as well... the tray doesn't want to hold it in properly. Not the best design for sure... but the rest of the phone is top notch

Same here, mine arrived this morning at about 9.45, as usual DPD were spot on now I've just got to get used to it

Do you feel the weight difference? Probably very small but it should be there as far as feeling it.

Less of a crease over the Fold 4?
I know the pixel Fold feels like it has .

Tough one @mustang7757 .

I will go with the Fold5 having less of a crease than the Fold4.

With possibly the world's worst photo, see the image below with the Fold4 (on the left) vs Fold5 Sorry about the quality of my photography!

Yeah it looks like it does, the hinge from the front of the glass looks identical to Fold 4 but we know it is completely different

I'm so tempted to trade in my Fold 4 for the 5 as with trade in and credit I can get the Fold 5 for 550.00 lol the Fold 4 is in mint condition.
I don't want to do it , damn it .

Yeah! As I mentioned in my, "First impression", post, above, the hinge feels so much better on the Fold5... more positive and without the gap of the Fold4, a more satisfying clunk to close it.

Re: my earlier reply to the, "crease". Now that I am web browsing and playing videos, it is less noticeable than the Fold4

You're not gonna rest until you get it, so add it to the cart and watch the forums like a hawk until it arrives. We're wired (and weird) like that.

I invite you to type out what you will gain when you lose those $550

Who would have ever thought I would be the angel on someone's shoulder lol

 

[Katrina White1]

It's (almost) unanimous. Stang, grab the Fold 5 and meet us in the S24 forums in a few months to do it all over again.
