Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra vs Galaxy Z Fold 5: The Fold and the Beautiful\u060c<\/p>\n
Contents:<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n First of all: both Galaxy S24 Ultra and the Galaxy Z fold<\/a> 5 won’t differ too much from what one might expect, at least visually.<\/p>\n THE Galaxy Z fold 5<\/span><\/span>on the other hand, made significant design revisions compared to the Galaxy Z Fold 4. Gone is the unsightly gap between the top and bottom panels when the Galaxy Z fold 5<\/span><\/span> is in its folded state, which finally puts Samsung’s foldable on par with most of its foldable competitors. There is a palpable and clearly visible display crease when you unfold the device, so no improvement in this area. <\/p>\n A major difference between the two phones is the S Pen situation. While the Galaxy Z fold 5<\/span><\/span> technically supports an S Pen, you need to purchase it separately. Meanwhile, the Galaxy S24 Ultra<\/span> will come with an S Pen hidden in a silo at the bottom.<\/p>\n Both Galaxy S24 Ultra<\/span> and the Galaxy Z fold 5<\/span><\/span> have IP68 water and dust resistance, which should give you a lot of peace of mind when it comes to their overall durability. In the case of Galaxy Z fold 5<\/span><\/span> this is particularly impressive, because having such protection against penetration on a foldable phone<\/span> remains the exception rather than the norm. <\/p>\n Aside from the fact that we’re comparing a foldable phone to a candybar phone, the only big difference between the Galaxy S24 Ultra<\/span> and the Galaxy Z fold 5<\/span><\/span> could be the much higher maximum brightness that happens at the Galaxy S24 Ultra<\/span>. According to hearsay, the Galaxy S24 Ultra<\/span> will be able to achieve around 2,500 nits of peak brightness, which is significantly higher than the 1,750 nits brightness displayed by the main screen of the Galaxy Z fold 5<\/span><\/span> can potentially achieve. <\/p>\n Apart from that, the Galaxy S24 Ultra<\/span> will be a 6.8-inch phone with high QHD+ resolution and the superb quality properties of Samsung’s OLED displays: great colors and great viewing angles.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, the Galaxy Z fold 5<\/span><\/span> unfolds to a rather large 7.6-inch screen with a visible crease in the middle, which shouldn’t take away from the fact that we’re dealing with a screen perfect for multitasking. And with LTPO support, it can boost the refresh rate between 1-120Hz for a smooth experience. The external display, however, is slightly less impressive with LTPS support for a dynamic refresh rate of 48-120Hz. <\/p>\n In terms of biometrics, both phones rely on fingerprint sensors. While the Galaxy S24 Ultra<\/span> there will surely be an ultrasonic one on the screen, the Galaxy Z fold 5<\/span><\/span> has a fingerprint sensor integrated into the side power button, which means you can easily unlock the phone whether it’s folded or not. Face Unlock as a secondary biometric system is available on both phones. <\/p>\n In terms of memory and storage, we’re looking at 8\/256GB, 16\/512GB, and 16\/1TB options, while the Galaxy Z fold 5<\/span><\/span> comes with 12 GB of RAM in all its 256 GB, 512 GB and 1 TB storage versions. <\/p>\n In terms of software, both devices will receive four major Android updates followed by five years of security patches. <\/p>\n Focusing with the Galaxy Z fold 5<\/span><\/span> isn’t on camera, but even then he’s potentially seriously outclassed by the next one Galaxy S24 Ultra<\/span>. <\/p>\n THE Galaxy Z fold 5<\/span><\/span> relies on a powerful, but rather “normal” camera system, which combines a 50 MP wide-angle camera with a 10 MP 3X telephoto lens and a 12 MP ultra-wide-angle snapper, which provide excellent image quality consistent that still suffers from the scourge of overprocessing that has plagued Galaxy’s most recent flagships. <\/p>\n At the same time, we await the Galaxy S24 Ultra<\/span> coming with a 200 MP wide-angle camera (like its predecessor), a 12 MP ultra-wide, and 3X and 5X telephoto lenses for long zoom. Yes, the 10X periscope is most likely being removed in favor of a shorter, but equally capable, 5X solution, which should still allow the 100X space zoom feature to make an appearance. <\/p>\n When it comes to audio quality, Galaxy flagships typically have very solid audio performance that rivals the best in the field and often sets new benchmarks. Certainly, the Galaxy S24 Ultra<\/span> will be yet another exemplary performer in the region, to what extent exactly remains to be seen. <\/p>\n The same goes for the haptic feedback situation. We have nothing negative to say about the Galaxy flagships and their feedback, it’s always superb. <\/p>\n With a more efficient chipset and a larger 5,000 mAh battery, the Galaxy S24 Ultra will likely improve the battery<\/a> life of the Galaxy Z fold 5which doesn’t do exceptionally well with its small 4,400 mAh battery. <\/p>\n As a reminder, the Galaxy Z fold 5<\/span><\/span> performed well in our custom battery tests, but didn’t impress. In particular, the foldable phone<\/span> lasted 6 hours and 30 minutes in our video<\/a> streaming test, 9 hours and 22 minutes in our web browsing test and only 5 hours and 34 minutes in the gaming test. Totally unimpressive and definitely beaten by the Galaxy S23 Ultra<\/span>therefore the Galaxy S24 Ultra<\/span> will most certainly beat him too.<\/p>\n From a charging point of view, the Galaxy S24 Ultra<\/span> is very likely to retain its predecessor’s 45W wired charging speeds, which would likely allow a full charge in around an hour. Meanwhile, the Galaxy Z fold 5<\/span><\/span> does the same exercise in one hour and twenty minutes. In terms of wireless charging<\/a>, both phones support 15W wireless fast charging. It’s definitely slower, with the Galaxy Z fold 5<\/span><\/span> requiring a 133-minute appointment with the wireless charger. <\/p>\n LPDDR5X<\/p>\n<\/td>\n LPDDR5<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n 4MP internal frontDesign and size<\/span><\/h2>\n
