A wise man once said, “You’ve gotta know when to hold ’em, know when to fold ’em.” During its Galaxy Unpacked event, Samsung opted for the latter, as it announced the release of the Galaxy Z Fold 5.
The latest iteration of Samsung’s foldable smartphone series comes with a thinner design and new hinge technology, runs on a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor and boasts a 6.7-inch FHD+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X main display made from Gorilla Glass Victus 2. You can check out Gizmodo’s Australia in-depth look at the Fold 5 here.
During the Unpacked event, Samsung also announced the Fold 5’s sibling, the Galaxy Z Flip 5, along with the Watch 6 and Watch 6 Classic, and the Galaxy Tab S9, S9+, and S9 Ultra.
Ahead of its release, here is every preorder plan for the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 that’s available from Telstra, Optus and Vodafone.
