Not too long ago, Samsung released a line of foldable smartphones, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5 and Z Flip5. These innovative devices became instant hits with tech nerds and anyone who had an original Razr flip phone, wished they did, or grew up watching Paris Hilton in the early 2000s. But there was just one issue: the price tag. At nearly $2,000, these phones weren't exactly accessible. (Though financing is almost always an option nowadays.)

It has a 7.6-inch display when unfolded and a smaller 6.2-inch cover screen when folded. It features dual-app viewing and multitasking capabilities, allowing you to effortlessly switch between apps and tasks. View two sites at once, stream videos and scroll Insta, or drop a photo into a text message without missing a beat.

So, if you're an artist or designer or just prefer to take handwritten notes rather than texting or typing them out, the Galaxy Z Fold5 offers a unique and convenient experience.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5 folds vertically, making it compact and easy to slip into your pocket or bag. It's known for its selfie-taking capabilities, and you can also use the Flex Window feature to view notifications, check the time, and control music without having to open the phone fully. The Flex Mode feature allows you to do even more, like hands-free video calling.
