Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 vs. Apple iPhone 15 Pro
Overall Specs
The Apple flagship is a compact smartphone with tons of features, whereas the Z Fold 5 is a foldable phone with a primary and cover display. When comparing displays, we'll only consider the main display of the Z Fold 5. There is a whopping price difference of $800 between the phones, so it's important to keep this in mind before comparing specs.
Displays
Both of the brands are known for their stunning display panels. You are going to get a 120Hz OLED panel on the iPhone 15 Pro and a bigger 7.6-inch main dynamic AMOLED display on the Z Fold 5 with a similar refresh rate. Since both come in different form factors, the displays are catering to different needs.
If you like to jot down notes on the go, the foldable display is going to be a big help. In terms of colors, both displays are highly capable and have good color densities.
Cameras
The camera module on the new iPhone 15 series is really impressive. This is the device of choice for $999, even if you are a casual photographer and want to up your mobile videography game. On the other hand, the Z Fold 5 has the capacity to capture crystal-clear photos in different modes.
One important thing to note is that software optimization is spectacular on both devices, but the optical image stabilization is better on the latest iPhones.
Performance
Both devices have capable processors. The iPhone 15 Pro is supported by A17 Pro bionic, and the Z fold 5 carries the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. On paper, it looks like the Z Fold 5 has a better performance because of its 12GB LPDDR5X RAM. On the other hand, the iPhone 15 Pro has 8GB LPDDR5 RAM.
It doesn't change the fact that both are good in daily usage, but for gaming, the Z Fold 2 might be a better option, considering the bigger display and RAM.
Battery
iPhones have never had a reputation for long battery lives. We can expect a similar trend from the latest series. The change from the lightning to a C-type port makes charging your device more accessible. On the other hand, the batteries on the Z Fold 5 might seem smaller, but the 4 nm-based Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 is really power efficient.
Verdict
If you are fine with spending extra bucks for a state-of-the-art foldable phone that gives you access to a bigger display and an S-pen, the Z Fold 5 is the right choice for you. On the other hand, the iPhone 15 Pro is an all-round device that is compact with an amazing functional OS. It also doesn't leave a large hole in your pocket and has the potential to take amazing, vibrant photos.
