One minor yet key change that makes the Galaxy Z Fold 5 a joy to use

You may feel that there aren't a lot of major changes that Samsung has made to the Galaxy Z Fold 5. That's not a true representation of the company's top-of-the-line foldable phone, though. There's more to the Galaxy Z Fold 5 than meets the eye.

Samsung has made considerable changes under the hod that go a long way in improving the user experience. That's the key theme with the Galaxy Z Fold 5 this year. Among the many minor yet meaningful changes is one that's going to make the new foldable phone a joy to use.

Galaxy Z Fold 5 peak brightness gets a major jump

If you've been using conventional flagship smartphones for a long time now, you'll be quite used to very bright display panels. For example, the Galaxy S23 series launched earlier this year is capable of reaching a peak brightness of 1,750 nits.

There are several differences between conventional and foldable display panels. The technology gap meant that the foldable panels wouldn't have the same peak brightness. This meant that when you used the phone, particularly outdoors and under direct sunlight, it wouldn't be as comfortable to see what was on the screen.

Take last year's Galaxy Z Fold 4 for example. It reached a peak brightness of 1,300 nits. Even though the panel size and dimensions are similar, the Galaxy Z Fold 5's foldable display panel is much more superior. It now boasts peak brightness of 1,750 nits which means that Samsung has brought its foldable phones at par with its Galaxy S23 lineup.

That's a serious achievement, and one that's going to make it a lot more comfortable to see the screen when using the Galaxy Z Fold 5 out and about. It's minor yet meaningful changes like these that make smartphone upgrades worthwhile. If you're considering an upgrade, go ahead and pre-order the Galaxy Z Fold 5 from Samsung so that you can take advantage of the best pre-order deals available right now.
