JAKARTA – The stretching of foldable screen smartphones is getting stronger day by day. There are currently numerous models of smartphones with a foldable screen on the market, the ones that have just been launched are the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 and the Google Pixel Fold.
Both smartphones have their advantages. So what are the specs for both and which is superior? To find the answer, consider the following explanation, compiled from various sources, on Monday (7/8/2023).
Project
Even though both have 7.6-inch full screens, the details of the two are very different. When the screen is closed, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 tends to be taller and thinner while the Pixel Fold looks more like a normal smartphone.
Samsung has made the screen slightly taller than it is wide, and Google has taken the opposite approach. So, for those who like to have a foldable smartphone that looks like a regular smartphone, the Google Pixel Fold can be an option.
Samsung sticks to its approach of making a slightly thicker foldable device with thinner bezels. The Fold 5 is 30g lighter than the Pixel Fold, weighing in at 254g, which drastically reduces the Pixel Fold’s 283g.

Screen
The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 has a vertically elongated 6.2-inch OLED external display with a resolution of 2316 x 904 and a refresh rate of 120Hz. Pixel Fold uses a 5.8-inch OLED screen with a resolution of 2092 x 1080.
For the internal screens, the two smartphones both have a 7.6-inch 120Hz OLED, but again the resolution of the Galaxy Z Fold 5 is higher at 2176 x 1812 compared to the Google Pixel Fold which has a resolution of 1840 x 2208 for the landscape.
Appearance-wise, Samsung’s UI allows users to make the most of the large screen from a productivity standpoint, especially when opening multiple apps side-by-side.
But overall, the Google Pixel Fold has the edge here on screen alignment, while the Fold 5 will likely make better use of that screen through its foldable UI.
One of the features that will give the Fold 5 an edge in the eyes of some users is S Pen support. Users can use a special version of the Samsung stylus to express their creativity and productivity.
Camera
Pixel Fold has an edge in the camera sector thanks to its triple camera system. The smartphone has a 48MP main camera that captures bright and sharp shots, 10.8MP ultra wide-angle and 10.8MP 5x telephoto.
In the camera sector, the Galaxy Z Fold 5 features a 50MP main camera, a 12MP ultrawide camera, a 10MP telephoto camera, and a 10MP selfie camera. This line of cameras is no different from its predecessors.
Both phones also have an external display selfie camera. However, all of this is due to the foldable nature of the two smartphones, which allows users to prefer using the main camera rather than the selfie camera.
perform
The Google Pixel Fold comes with the same Tensor G2 processor found in the Pixel 7 range. While this is a capable processor, it will certainly be squashed by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor in the Galaxy Fold 5.
Qualcomm processors clearly have a much higher benchmark. Google often tries to cover this gap by stating that the strengths of the Tensor G2 lie in artificial intelligence and machine learning applications.
Even if this statement is true, for raw performance, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 is the best. The South Korean manufacturer’s smartphone rink is also getting “wow” thanks to 12GB of RAM and up to 1TB of internal storage.
For the Pixel Fold, Google has basically rebuilt core apps like Maps, Gmail, Photos, Home and Drive, and they all look great. While multitasking is easy, this smartphone only allows two applications to run side by side.
Drums
The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 packs a 4,400mAh battery making it significantly smaller than the Pixel Fold’s 4,821mAh cell. Google Pixel Fold can serve up to 15 hours, longer than the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 which can only last 13 hours.
Price
As for the price, the 12GB/1TB variant for the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 costs IDR 29,999,000, while the 12GB/512GB variant costs IDR 26,999,000, and the 12GB/256GB variant is sold for IDR 24,999,000. while the Google Pixel Fold is priced at $1,799 or around Rp. 27.4 million.
