Another question now, how do the hinges in the new foldables feel? We've had some good competition in that space so I'm hoping we see some refinement from Samsung this year. Which of the two would you most like to daily drive?
I played around with the hinges on the Fold5. It felt solid, but I never really had any issues with the Fold3 or Fold4 either.
I'd pick the Fold over the Flip any day because it unfolds into a tablet. That's not to say that the Flip is bad, just my preference.
I'm also curious about this. I wonder whether there seem to be any noticeable durability improvements as well.
It's going to be hard to answer this based only on a 1 hour demo period (split between all the different devices) but it's something we can answer after getting to use the devices for a bit.
I hear the foldables are now also flavoured and lickable! Please confirm when you get the chance.
Wtf my phone won't turn on anymore after I licked it wat do?
It looks like it's just as durable in terms of fold testing (150k at 60°C, 200k at 25°C, and 30k at -20°C). No improvement, but passing the same tests as the Fold4 with a different hinge is notable.

Haven't had the Fold 5 for long enough to really comment on the hinge durability but I'm not worried about hinge right now though.
As for which device I want to daily drive, I'm most looking forward to using the Z Fold 5 since I do a lot of work on my phone and I think I'll take advantage of the multitasking capabilities.
