I ordered my first folding smartphone, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5, in February of this year. I was excited, but I was also more than a little apprehensive. This was an entirely new form factor for me, as I’d never used a folding smartphone before. I’d used phones, I’d used tablets, but I’d never used both of them at the same time.
