The Samsung Fold 5 has a narrower screen than the Fold 6. As a result, it feels different than a regular smartphone when you hold it. On the Fold 5, you'll receive security updates for 3 fewer years than on the Fold 6. The Fold 5 lasts less long as a result. In addition, the device weighs 254g. That's about 1.5 times heavier than a regular smartphone. This makes the Fold 5 feel heavy after using it for a while.

Fold 4: less fast, short lifespan

Fold 6 of Fold 5

The Fold 4 appeared in 2022. The device has a processor that was really fast at the time. Nowadays, apps require more of your smartphone. As a result, this device is no longer suitable for all apps. Apps for image editing and 3D games slow down regularly, for example. The Fold 4 will receive software support until August 2026. This makes its lifespan much shorter than that of the Fold 6 and Fold 5.

Fold 3: heavy device, lesser camera

Fold 6 vs Fold 3

The Fold 3 has lesser cameras than its successor. The telephoto lens allows you to zoom in 2 times without losing quality, for example. With the successors, you can zoom in 3 times. With a 271g weight, the Fold 3 is very heavy for a phone. As a result, the foldable smartphone isn't very comfortable to hold. Samsung provides software support until August 2025. After that, you'll no longer receive security updates. This means that your devices won't be secured anymore.

Conclusion

In terms of design and software support, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 is the best Samsung Fold smartphone. The screen of the other Samsung Fold devices is narrower, so you have less space for your apps. The Fold 4 and Fold 3 are less fast and don't receive software support for as long. That's why you can no longer use these smartphones safely.
