The verdict, & two little voices
Should you actually get the 256 GB Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5 on AT&T?
The editor weighs in — flanked by the optimist on her shoulder and the cynic on the other.
“7.6 inches of inner display with a 3x telephoto remains a practical tablet-phone combo for the right owner.”
“Two chip generations old at $1,799 - Samsung left the Fold5 on the shelf so long the sticker price became a punchline.”
