3 Reasons to Pre-Order the Galaxy Z Fold 5 & 4 Reasons to Wait

Wait for Long-Term Galaxy Z Fold 5 Reviews

Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 5 looks like a solid replacement for its predecessor, but some of you might want to hang back and wait for long-term Galaxy Z Fold 5 reviews.

Some have already gone hands-on with the devices, but plenty more, us included, will have a chance to test the phones before, or shortly after, they hit shelves.

Early impressions and reviews are useful, but most people shouldn't base a decision off a review that comes hours, or even a few days, after handling new devices.

Digging into long-term feedback about smartphones is extremely important, especially when you're spending this kind of money on a gadget that you might be stuck with for a year or more.

If you aren't completely sold on buying a Galaxy Z Fold 5 model right now, we recommend skipping the pre-order period while you wait for long-term feedback from critics and early adopters.
