Comparison review
The Galaxy Fold has a general score of 97.6, which is a lot better than the Samsung Galaxy Note 5's score of 79.3. The Galaxy Fold body is incredibly newer and just a little thinner, but noticeably heavier than the Samsung Galaxy Note 5. Both of these phones include Android OS (Operating System), but Galaxy Fold has a newer 9.0 Pie version and Samsung Galaxy Note 5 has Android 5.1 version, so it counts with some extra features and enhanced performance.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 5 features a more vivid screen than Galaxy Fold, because although it has a much smaller screen, it also counts with a better pixels density and a little higher 2560 x 1440 resolution. Galaxy Fold features a quite better hardware performance than Galaxy Note 5, because it has a greater number of cores and a greater amount of RAM.
Samsung Galaxy Fold has a much bigger memory capacity to install games and applications than Samsung Galaxy Note 5, because it has 512 GB internal memory. Samsung Galaxy Fold features a much better battery duration than Samsung Galaxy Note 5, because it has 4380mAh of battery capacity. Galaxy Fold captures clearer videos and photos than Galaxy Note 5, because although it has a worse 3840x2160 video definition and a back-facing camera with much less mega-pixels resolution, it also counts with a way bigger camera aperture to take better low-light photography and videos and a larger back-facing camera sensor.
Although Samsung Galaxy Fold is a better device, it is way more expensive than Galaxy Note 5, and it doesn't have such a good quality/price relation as Galaxy Note 5. So if you want that extra features, you can buy Samsung Galaxy Fold, but if you don't you can save a couple dollars and get the Galaxy Note 5, resigning a couple features and specifications.
