Mishaal Rahman and FragmentedChicken are in South Korea for Samsung Unpacked!

It’s weird with time zones but they’ll be on for the next hour or so. They’re juggling on-the-ground stuff at the press conference so post any questions here and they’ll respond once they can!

Edit: We’ve left the hands-on area, but feel free to continue posting your questions. We’ll continue to answer them if we can, and might have another opportunity with some of the devices.

    Another question now, how do the hinges in the new foldables feel? We’ve had some good competition in that space so I’m hoping we see some refinement from Samsung this year. Which of the two would you most like to daily drive?

      I played around with the hinges on the Fold5. It felt solid, but I never really had any issues with the Fold3 or Fold4 either.

      I’d pick the Fold over the Flip any day because it unfolds into a tablet. That’s not to say that the Flip is bad, just my preference.

      I’m also curious about this. I wonder whether there seem to be any noticeable durability improvements as well.

        It’s going to be hard to answer this based only on a 1 hour demo period (split between all the different devices) but it’s something we can answer after getting to use the devices for a bit.

      Haven’t had the Fold 5 for long enough to really comment on the hinge durability but I’m not worried about hinge right now though.

      As for which device I want to daily drive, I’m most looking forward to using the Z Fold 5 since I do a lot of work on my phone and I think I’ll take advantage of the multitasking capabilities.
