I mean; but we'd love that to be more!” Nick Porter, vice president of product management and commercial operations at Samsung U.K. and Ireland, laughed as we talked about the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Galaxy Z Flip 5 just ahead of the official launch over a Microsoft Teams call.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 vs. Motorola Razr Plus: don’t make a mistake
