EDITORIAL: Samsung is making small improvements by giving the Z Fold the next processor, 2 much brighter LTPO screens, better protection against dust and water, and industry leading 7 years of OS update promise. Sadly, the battery size is the same as last year and LTPO tech couldn't offset the high brightness enough to deliver any meaningful endurance improvement.
PROs
excellent compact build, fast Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 with UFS 4.0 performance, >1600nits bright LTPO AMOLED screens with HDR10+ tech, improved IP48 (dust >1mm, down to 1.5m for 30min) protection, reliable pics from a 50MP 23mm main + 10MP 66mm telephoto (both OIS PDAF) + 12MP 12mm ultrawide that also acts as a very good selfie, up to 7 years of very stabile and feature rich OneUI OS, excellent DeX included, stylus support, fast USB-C 3.2 port with OTG
CONs
lighter but with same size battery as Z Fold 5, barely a day of endurance from a small 4400mAh old-tech lithium battery with almost 90min slow 25W (15W wireless) charging, no full dust protection, no AF on ultrawide, mediocre selfie cameras in and out, average video recording, no memory expansion, no stylus slot - it has to be attached to a case or carried separately

EDITORIAL: (this is a pre-test listing based on reasonable expectation of battery, charging, screen and imaging performance) Google improved the 10 Pro Fold by making it narrower, thinner and almost 20g lighter, upgraded the processor and made screens brighter and their bezels thinner. The imaging is the same but battery lost some 200mAh to fit into a smaller body (Google stonewalls Si-C battery tech). At least wireless Q2 charging boy a body from 15W to 25W.
PROs
excellent build with full water & dust protection, very bright ~2000nits sub-400ppi 120Hz LTPO AMOLED screens (inner one is HDR10+ too), IP68 protection, reliable 48MP 24mm OIS main + okay 10.8MP 112mm OIS telefoto + below -par 10.5MP ultrawide setup, 2 10MP 23mm PDAF selfies, average video recording, 7 years of updates for stabile and feature loaded OS, basic desktop replacement functionality built into Android 17, fast USB-C 3.2 port, Satellite SOS Service
CONs
mediocre Tensor G6 (3nm) with UFS 4.0 performance, barely a day endurance from a 4800mAh lithium battery with 90min slow 30W (25W wireless) charging, no expandable memory, limited market availability
