The brightness difference between the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Z Fold 4 is quite significant, particularly in everyday usage scenarios.
Brightness Specifications
- Galaxy Z Fold 4: Peak brightness of 1,200 nits.- Galaxy Z Fold 5: Peak brightness of 1,750 nits, representing a 30% increase over its predecessor[1][2][5].
Impact on Everyday Use
1. Visibility in Direct Sunlight: The Z Fold 5's higher brightness makes it notably easier to read and interact with the screen outdoors, especially in bright sunlight. Users have reported that the Z Fold 5 remains legible even under direct sunlight, while the Z Fold 4's display can struggle, leading to reduced visibility[3][10].2. HDR Content and Media Consumption: The increased peak brightness enhances the viewing experience for HDR content, providing more vivid colors and better contrast. This is particularly beneficial for users who frequently watch videos or play games on their devices[2][5].
3. User Experience Variability: Some users have noted that while the Z Fold 5 is technically brighter, the color saturation may appear less vibrant compared to the Z Fold 4. This could be due to personal preferences regarding display settings or inherent differences in how the displays render colors[4][11].
Overall, while both devices offer impressive displays, the Galaxy Z Fold 5's increased brightness significantly enhances usability in bright conditions and improves media consumption experiences.
