And ask for an opinion
For Fold 5
It seems bright and vivid
With good expression of bright colors
Finally, for Fold 6
Drum roll, please
Fold 6 performs well
In bright conditions
And appears to have minimal reflection
I think the color expression is the brightest among the three models
When watching the same video
With the same settings in a bright outdoor environment
All three products were comfortable to watch
Still, there was an opinion that
Fold 6 was slightly better in a bright environment
Please note that there may be differences depending on the viewing environment and circumstances
Basic Test : Battery (Not Sponsored Review!)
[Test outline] Compare the battery drain times for each device after fully charging them
And running games, video playback, and the 3D MARK TEST
(Power saving mode was not enabled All the settings are the same on all products)
First, the battery capacity of each product is
4,400mAh, which is the same
What difference might there be when actually used?
With all devices configured to the same settings
We first ran games and the 3D MARK TEST
Approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes used with gaming and testing
Fold 5's battery dropped to 50%
While the Fold 4 is at 53% and the Fold 6 is at 58%
Next, we'll continue with the 3D MARK TEST and gaming
And also watch 4K videos
[Total usage time of 4 hours and 55 minutes] This shows the remaining battery level
[Z Fold 4 18% / Z Fold 5 15% / Z Fold 6 30%] After an extra 3 hours and 10 minutes of use
So far, the Fold 5's battery drain rate is relatively fast
We continued to keep it running
[Total usage time of 8 hours and 50 minutes] After an additional approximately 3 hours and 55 minutes
[Z Fold4 7% / Z Fold5 5% / Z Fold6 21%] The remaining battery is at this level
Even now, the Fold 5 has the fastest battery drain rate
While the Fold 6 still seems to have more battery life remaining
Since there's not much battery left, let's continue watching 4K videos
While watching the video
[Total usage time of 13 hours and 53 minutes] Z Fold4 was the first to run out of battery
At this point
[Z Fold4 0% / Z Fold5 4% / Z Fold6 19%] The battery levels are approximately 4% for Fold5 and 19% for Fold6
Let's continue
Which Fold will survive until the end? Drum roll, please
[Total usage time of 18 hours and 16 minutes] Fold 5 was the next to drain
[Z Fold4 0% / Z Fold5 discharged / Z Fold6 15%] The remaining battery on Fold6 is at 15%
The Fold 6 was the longest lasting
Final results of the three Z Fold models
Let's summarize the Fold series
First, here are the differences in CPU and GPU
Benchmark scores between the products
When comparing heat levels
Using the 3D MARK TEST
All devices surpassed 40°C
But Fold6 exhibited slightly lower temperatures
Also, when running apps simultaneously
Fold4 was relatively slower compared to the other two devices
While Fold 5 showed faster performance
With more demanding apps
Additionally, the Fold 6 had faster performance
With lighter apps, including booting
In the same environment and settings
the difference was that
Fold4 generally had a higher saturation
With a more intense color palette
However, when taking portraits and recording videos
The results were disappointing
Fold5 stood out with its vibrant and bright colors
And it was strong and vivid when shooting indoors
It provided the best results for portrait photography
But there was a noticeable difference from the colors seen with the naked eye
Fold 6 exhibited excellent sharpness
And generally displayed clean and well organized colors
The results in night mode were generally good
There were instances of slight haziness depending on the conditions and setting
For viewing in bright environments, the display brightness
On Fold6 was the best among the three products
Finally, the Fold6 also had the longest battery life
