The Galaxy Fold is an older and incredibly heavier device than the Xperia 5 II, but Samsung managed to make it somewhat thinner anyway. Xperia 5 II counts with a bit more vivid display than Galaxy Fold, because although it has a bit smaller display and a bit lower 1080 x 2520px resolution, it also counts with a quite better pixel density.

Galaxy Fold counts with a quite bigger storage capacity for apps and games than Xperia 5 II, because although it has no SD card slot, it also counts with 384 GB more internal storage capacity.
Xperia 5 II takes slightly better photos and videos than Samsung Galaxy Fold, because although it has a smaller camera aperture which is not so good for low light photography and videos, and they both have the same video resolution and a 12 megapixels resolution back camera, the Xperia 5 II also counts with higher 120 fps video frame rate and a much larger sensor capturing more light and vivid colors.
The Samsung Galaxy Fold features just a bit better battery performance than Sony Xperia 5 II, because it has a 10% more battery size.
Although Galaxy Fold is a better device, it costs a lot more than the Sony Xperia 5 II, and it doesn't have such a good quality/price relation as Sony Xperia 5 II. If you are trying to save some dollars, you can get the Sony Xperia 5 II, giving up some specs and features, but you'll get the most out of your savings.
