Hey guys! Many of you are asking about the dynamic wallpaper and where to get it. Just go to settings on your device and search for Samsung Themes. Here you can purchase lots of different ones. The one in the video is called "Elite Black" 🔥
As an Apple fanboy myself, I gotta tell you, after I played with that foldable Samsung, in our local electronics shop, I though, maybe this will be my next phone. Beautiful piece of tech.
If your thinking about the switch, just do it! There are always work arounds for everything. I've just traded the 14 pro max in for the fold 5, no regrets. Doesn't take long getting used to the front screen!
This is my first time watching your video, and i am pleasantly surprised. i love how honest you are. easpecially being an apple fan, you are not being obnoxious or unreasonably bias like some of the reviewer on here. your honest review is really helpful. i've been an apple fanboy myself for more than 15 years and have recently switched to S23 ultra and i had a very similar experience. I kept going back to my iphone because of the primary sim card. However, i switched it to S23 ultra completely and loved it. I am loving S23 ultra so much and already pre-ordered the Fold 5. once again, this review is amazing. thank you for sharing.
I've had the Z Fold 5 for about a week now. I'm blown away. It's hard to imagine going back to a normal slab style phone. Software optimization is just amazing. Such a smooth UI experience. Running Ofice 365 and editing spreadsheets on the go with the large display is just a game changer. Very pleasantly surprised with battery life as well. Well done, Samsung!
@@Lesspaw41Apparently I'm the only one. I prefer the candy bar phones over fold. Ive gotten used to the 5 after returning my 4 last year to go back to my Note. But my phone was dying and it was cheaper to trade for the 5 than it was a S23U. I actually went to Best buy to check out an A54 because it looks and feels just as good as a S23+. Don't need the power of the fold, just wanna be able to quickly pull my phone out and use one handed.
I have a fold 5 and feel the same way, I just love using it, I take it out just to use it because I miss not using it haha. Excellent device and easily my favourite phone if all time
I absolutely love these kinds of videos. It doesn't matter if you switch back in the end. There's just something super fun to watch when someone tries something completely different and new for the first time. Theres definitely a lot of apps that can replace certain apple only apps. Just need to do a bit of work, but it pays off in the long run!
Hate how Apple are always behind the curve with this stuff. Remember when they used to innovate?! Why no iPhone flip or fold yet? Great video, very tempted to switch myself.
Was a iPhone fanboy per sa for years. When the Galaxy S10 hit, that's when I switched. As you mentioned, all the iPhones felt the same, overpriced (at the time) for the same type of phone just newer chip. Then when the lawsuit hit Apple for slowing down older iPhones so that users will upgrade, that was the straw that broke the camel's back. Been a Galaxy fan since and can't wait for the fold 5 to arrive. Welcome to the Samsung family. Will also help your channel diversify itself with other products.
Same for me, I was apple all the way until they admitted to slowing down their phone. That matched when my iphone slowed down and I thought "OK apple, you want me to change phone? I will change phone. I'll get a Samsung." Haven't looked back since. I'm still macbook all the way, but that's where it ends for me.
It’s a big stretch to assume that Apple was downgrading batteries to encourage people to buy new phones. That was never established. The mistake they made was not telling people about it, and that’s what got them in hot water. I don’t believe apples intentions were ever nefarious in nature. But as batteries get older in phones, you can experience unexpected shutdowns when the phone requires a big draw from the battery, and the battery is unable to provide it. Apple was actually trying to make the user experience better. That whole situation was badly blown out of proportion. For the record, their phones still do the same thing. They throttle down the performance of the phone as batteries get older.
I currently have the S23 Ultra but decided to order the fold 5 and the new Galaxy watch 6 because I got a pretty good trade in deal. It will probably arrive tomorrow. This will be my first foldable phone and ever since the fold 1 came out way back in 2019 I got really interested but chose to stick to traditional smartphones. I can´t wait for it to arrive!
@jeffdaly9365 same her.i went 22 ultra to 23 ultra because we got 8 gen 2 instead of exynos. Which we always get. Huge difference. I want to make this my first fold. Still a little nervous
Upgrading to the Fold5 after having the Fold2 since release in 2020. Looking forward to it...can't decide what colour S Pen case to get! This was the first vid I could find which properly showcases the black case.
I did switched my iphone 14 pro max to flip 5 and no regret at all. I haven't regret single bit. I know it's still couple weeks from arriving but I just plan to stick around with android from now. I realized after using PC, ecosystem isn't important. Apple kind of brainwashed me and captivate me to their ecosys but now I just don't want to be bound anymore. Just like I've missed my samsung note 5 back in the day, I'll continue forward with samsung. also selling my apple watch ultra, throw away my 30 dollar useless and creepy airtag but will still keep my airpods 1st gen just because. they share the same purpose to listen to music.
Ive also made the switch as a long term iPhone/mac ecosystem user… looking forward to more videos on this phone! I expect some frustrations but I was just so bored of the iPhones
Congratulations on your purchase! I did the same I have the 14 Pro Max the Fold 3 and Flip 5. It's simply so different from iPhones. Amazing. I will replace my Fold 3 when Samsung changes the design. I love both my foldables. Great job Samsung.
I've been deep in the ecosystem too. But when I held the ZFold5 in one of the Samsung stores, I immediately fell in love. Pre-ordered already and I'm excited for the release 😍
@@Mario-gy4wxtbh most people have had Android once in there life. It’s not hard to adjust whatsoever. The issue is that you prolly just prefer Apple which is completely fine too
@flowfactoryinc07 meaning take your time to configure your device properly to you. For example, if you don't want to use Google messages, use samsung messages, it's the closest to IOS in terms of design. Learn about sharing drive files, links to images, and more. Plus. If you are "missing" something you liked on your iPhone, I promise there is an app or workaround to get that feature on your Fold. Trust me, it is amazing what you can do on android, and will love the OneUi interface.
@flowfactoryinc07 basically meaning you can have ANY feature you desire with proper research. For example, the shortcuts app on iPhone to rename apps doesn't come by default on samsung android, but you can add it
Great video. I preordered my Z Fold 5 last week and will be my first ever Fold device and android device as had iPhones for over 10 years and got bored with Apple making little to nothing changes. Looking forward to learning how to use a new device.
I've been on the fold series since the 3 , and have been rocking my fold 4 without a case for the last 3 months . Sturdy phone, if your not prone to drops , should be good to go . The new s pen and case look so nice , I pre ordered with my fold 5 . Enjoy, their is no going back from a foldable phone imo .
I stay with the Apple ecosystem for one main reason: the iTunes Store. You see, I hate streaming music. I’m old-school, and I want to own my music, and when I hear a song, I just wanna buy it and then have it. I don’t wanna rent my Music No other company has anything even close to the iTunes Store, and never will.
I have only used Mac computers and only used Samsung phones for several years now. The dichotomy is definitely a tricky one to navigate, but I love each of those devices enough to deal with the inconveniences. I use cloud storage for my photo and video projects, so that is my go-to for "quick" file transfers. I enjoy the phone way too much to cave into the Apple ecosystem. Welcome to the club!
@@PatrickRambles While I agree that Apple devices integrate together better than any other experience, what Apple does even better is making their products not integrate with anyone else. This just rubs me the wrong way because all the various other companies' Android and Windows devices work reasonably well together and you can mix and match with reasonable assurance that they will work. Unfortunately, Apple has made it so you have to choose between all Apple or no Apple.
The answer for those with Apple devices looking at an Android phone, is to stay in the Apple ecosystem while also using Google, Microsoft and third party apps to bridge IOS to Android. You don’t need to leave your Apple World. You can keep it, and travel between worlds. I have a Mac, iPad and have had a Samsung Phone for 3 years. Firstly, back up Samsung photos to Google Photos (or/and OneDrive or other depending on preference). Then sync Apple photos to Google Photos (or/and Outlook). This allows you to access any photo or video taken on any device to be accessed on any device. In this process, you will choose a back-up cloud service on your Samsung phone, like Google Drive, OneDrive or Other. Add this cloud service to your Apple devices for Syncing. Secondly, sync Apple calendar to Google Calendar (or/and Outlook). Anything entered on Google calendar on your Samsung phone will automatically show up in Apple Calendar on your Apple devices, and vice-versa. Important if either calendar links to any particular third party productivity apps. Thirdly, choose a third party email on Samsung phone (GMail, Outlook, other), and you can add these to Apple Email. I don’t use Apple email so this was easy. Fourth, prefer to use third party apps available on both the Apple Store and Google Playstore, avoiding both apple and Samsung specific apps unless you have favourites for specific device and use cases. This is for Notes, entertainment, productivity, password manager, etc. Fifth, keep using predominantly iCloud and apple Files, with your additional cloud service when you may need to drag and drop something for access on your Samsung phone. You can drag and drop a file from apple files to Google Drive, which still leaves the original file in apple files unless you additionally drag that original file to Bin. And finally, allow some time to un-learn what you’ve always been doing so far, to relearn new tricks, relearn that muscle memory… in order to eventually be able to operate cross-platform, no matter what technology throws at you. Stay with Apple, but also enable surprises with Samsung or Google or Other to enter your overall ecosystem, that may come your way😊 Just need to finally add, Samsung Pay is legit on Samsung Phones, and it’s recommended you use it in conjunction with Samsung Pass for security purposes. You can still have Google Pay on some apps, you can still have Apple Pay on Apple devices, it all comes from the cards you enter on whatever device. All have excellent safety. I’ve never had Samsung Pay let me down.
This can also replace your iPad, and potentially even your laptop (when you’re not video editing) with Samsung DeX. AirDrop has a similar feature on Android called NameDrop, and you can also have a workaround with Windows that uses iMessage (don’t know what it’s called but it works, just not all that good IMO). And the S Pen is also useful for the camera feature set (believe it or not, found that out from AlexGear&Tech) - there is so much you can do with this.
Lol. "there's a workaround for this, you can tweak this, you can use this third party app, this is kinda like Apple, there's another workaround for that...." No thanks. I'll stick with my flawless Apple ecosystem where everything just works, and works together. I always lol at android users listing their 50 tweaks to get their phones to work similar to Apple.
@@chris7077 Everything works out of the box no workarounds needed. And what workarounds are we even talking about? Let's say some feature in Android A device is better than Android B or iPhone there were work arounds. The reason for no workarounds in apple is because they keep you locked in and tells how to use your device and not how you like the device to be(till today). Suppose if some feature in Android are good and want to have it in iPhone then only option is to jailbreaking your device(assuming that feature is available). But Android being open sourced lot of devs do some creative stuff and open source their code and release apks. You've to wait for years until good features from android come to apple.
@@chris7077I don't know what you or the commenter are on about, but Samsung and Google both have their versions of Airdrop and sync with other devices. In my experience, the Google one does tend to work better though.
Good luck with it loving the screen wallpaper thanks Alex 😂 enjoy Patrick . I’m afraid 2 change in case I loose my stuff everything is on my I phone 👏🇮🇪😎
Excellent video Patrick. I am getting my Fold 5 on the 11th. Can’t wait. Will be interesting to see your full hands on review of the Z Fold 5. Cheers buddy.
Really looking forward to your video about Android apps that are equivalent to iPhone apps - been having the same struggle moving from iPhone to Android because of that reason. The stock Apple apps are so well done that any equivalent Android apps seems clunky - specifically Reminders, Notes, and Calendar. Great video as always - thank you!
@@PatrickRambles I second @dw7970. I just switched to the Pixel Fold and I'm loving it. But everything else I have is Apple. I am using AirMessage to help with my iMessage switch. Most people in the states, where I am, don't use something like WhatsApp, so I it either messaging on Android or iMessage out here. I would love to see a video focused on switching over from iOS to Android or how you handle using both devices, because I too kept my iPhone as a secondary phone to work with my Apple Watch Ultra. I can't give that up. Always look forward to your videos, Patrick! Thanks for all your hard work you put into them - and thank you to anyone else on your production team (if anyone else).
One note, google calendar and Samsung has its own calendar and reminders app some how all my events and calendar info transferred from apple to Samsung
Shouldn't really be that hard. I have both iphone 14pm and s23ultra and I have no issues running apps, esp notes and calendars. Most apps run fantastic on both now unless you are using device specific apps that are obviously only on each device. It's not about which phone is better per se, it's more of which device fits your needs better. I'm not tied into any eco system and use things like Google and one drive so I can access anything I need from any device albeit apple or windows ios or android.
The poorly designed Android apps are my reason for sticking with iOS. Nothing in Android compares to Notability nor Goodnotes. OneNote is stripped of tools on Android and sucks compared to iOS. Samsung Notes is pretty good but after using Notability you realize just how clunky it is. The iOS stock note app just keeps getting better and better.
😂 I also find myself whipping mine out to play with it!!! … hilarious!! I have the Z Fold 4 & I’m having trouble moving away from this phone. The Z fold 5 is gorgeous, but not sure I’m going to upgrade. You’re kinda selling it to me!
I currently have an iPhone 14 Pro Max, Apple Watch Ultra, latest iPad Pro 11 inch and a 15 inch Macbook air M2.... and I'm getting so stinking bored with the ecosystem. But I feel locked in... so kudos to you for venturing outside the walls!!
Last time I used a Samsung product was for the Galaxy S5 and it was such a great phone and can’t wait for this Fold 5, they really have stepped it up over the years !
Hi Patrick. Great review and insights to your journey. I'm a fan of Alex also and like him I switched from my focus on iPhone to the S23 Ultra. I'm waiting for my Z Fold 5 to show up. I'm everything Apple but I have really loved Android and I'm relegating my iPhone as simply my Apple Watch Ultra connection and the Z Fold will be my main device. I'm testing Beeper and Sunbird on my S23U currently. I've followed you as well and will enjoy learning about your journey. Hope I can add value along the way.
Thanks for the clip mate. I am on S23 ultra. I am a Note user for.. 4 ever. I tried fold 3 for a day but did not convinced me. I am now thinking for a switch to the fold 5. Hope I will not regret it. Just I thought its worth a try.
Found this video last night and immediately subscribed. The question I would have right off the bat was where did you find that cool lock screen that you're using? You mentioned the person that you got it from but I can't seem to locate where to get it. Or is it something that's not publicly available?
I had both Samsung S22 Ultra and Iphone11. However, since Fold5 is also Dual Sim, I have ordered one And planning to ditch both my older ones for Single Fold5 in pocket.
Very interesting video. I was thinking about making the same change when they announced it. I still haven’t bought it, waiting to see what apple announces next month, but I doubt I’ll be upgrading to and iPhone this year
It looks like it won't be a mind blowing update. Just USB C and some minor improvements in the hardware. I'll review it of course. I think 2024 will be a major year for Apple. They have no choice.
Thnx voor je review! Ik heb de Fold 5 gisteren binnen gekregen. Geweldig toestel! Vraagje.. Waar kan ik die dynamic wallpaper vinden? Bij Alex kan ik niks vinden :(
Great video! I’m in the same situation as you where I am fully in the apple ecosystem, thinking of going for this fold 5 tho as it will help me with work and stuff on the move main sticking point for me is the Apple Watch ultra that I don’t want to drop, will have to check on the new Samsung watch and see how that is. Will keep an eye out for your update, subbed and liked 👍
I found your channel because I‘ve been looking for my first smartwatch and I couldn’t decide which one. Right now I‘m using a Galaxy Note 10+ so it would be dumb not to get an Android smartwatch for it. But I will get a new phone soon and I can’t decide between the upcoming iPhone 15 Pro or the Galaxy S23 Ultra/Fold 5 so it would be dumb to get an Android smartwatch if I decide to get the iPhone and it would be dumb to buy the Apple Watch Ultra if I get the S23/Fold. I‘m not fully in either ecosystem as I use an iPad and a windows laptop. I love your videos as you say what you think and not favor one brand because you used it for longer. Can’t wait to hear your long term verdict using the Fold 5!
😂 Nice review, I have made the switch from iphone 14 pro max to the Fold 5 and love it. However, my daughter did ask what kind of video i was watching! Whipping it out of my pocket and playing wirh it.😂😂😂
I love my galaxy fold 4. I have seen other brands making them as thin as an iPhone when closed. Also I do have a feeling that Apple will adopt this foldable feature in about 2 years. They just gotta see the tech getting better.
If Apple allowed iMessage to be used on android, they’d lose 30% of their iPhone users immediately. Add a true Airdrop feature, and a lot of people would look at androids. I use both and really wish I could just use my Fold
Not even remotely true. iPhones sell because of the Apple ecosystem that works flawlessly with all other Apple products and FaceTime is another big reason. "Yeah but if Apple let android use iMessage, airdrop, FaceTime, Apple Pay and Apple Watch a lot of people would look at androids" LMAO
@@chris7077 Um, I said add the two most popular parts of the Apple ecosystem and you said "Apple ecosystem"... I'll give you that the Apple Watch is another big one but I'm an Apple Watch user and could live with an Android Wear alternative. Apple Pay is NBD because Samsung Pay,etc work at all the same places in my experience.
@@chris7077I'm a high schooler in NYC. iMessage is quite literally THE ONLY reason people get an iphone, and one of my friends actually did so last month. It really does feel like iMessage is the reason people don't text me sometimes, whether it's true or not. I've never heard of ANYONE using Facetime either.
I am also a long term iphone user that just set up my z fold 5 yesterday. I've tried android years ago and didn't like it, but this phone got me excited. Seems like Android has come a long way since last I have tried it and I am loving it so far!
@@Mario-gy4wx I am still enjoying the phone and android. I don't miss apple stuff too much. Everyone that asks about my phone thinks its really cool. However, I definitely don't take advantage of everything it can do. I mostly open the phone to watch videos at this point which don't take up the whole screen, so my money was probably better spent on a regular phone and a tablet for that. But overall I am still enjoying the phone
I have been using iPhone since the iPhone 3G, and made the switch to the Fold 4 just a month ago. Will be upgrading to the Fold 5. But I love Apple and what they stand for. Will switch back to Apple once they release a Fold, although I'm guessing they would more likely release a Flip.
I left Iphones back in 2021 with the Z Fold2 and it was the Best choice I ever made..it was easy for me to do because I did not get into the Apple Eco system..
I've been an android user since the Note 2, I recently purchased an iPad. Airdroid which let's you airdrop files to an android is the way 2 go. Also, I use Google drive instead of icloud to backup my iPad.
All time iPhone user here, started on the 3g. I moonlight a galaxy s9(forced to for work.) I stopped upgrading after the 11 pro max, I’ve been waiting for another phone to come out that peaks my interest. I had made up my mind about getting a folding phone when the ZFold came out, but it wasn’t polished enough. I am so happy that I preordered the ZFold5, I can’t wait!
Me too acutely since 11 pro max i decide to go for the 120HRZ but i upgrade to Xiaomi because he gives huge upgrade Fast charger 120W Light in hand 196g Easy to use as iphone Very sharp chip& gpu But now after 3 years of Xiaomi i decided to have the Fold 5 Now i have him already 1 month, it's very powerful phone/mini tablet But i miss the fast charg as wel ( only 25W ) I miss the battery life ( Z fold is only 4400 & it's absolutely crab ) I charge the phone 2 time per day minimum since first day so i don't know what's gonna happened after 1 year using 😐
I am on the fence, really like the folds and this one seems so refined. Been an iPhone user for ages and was also waiting for the 15, though not many new feature from my 13 pro max. One thing I would miss is the ApplePay I know u have SamsungPay but not sure if it’s used as much or is as secure?
@@jonnycarlson9555That’s great, it’s just that if your on the web or an app if a phone payment option is given it’s generally Apple Pay, thats my main concern that Apple Pay seems be the go to payment option rather then Samsung or Google?
Brother man...Great Video...Please direct me to that Launcher/wallpaper you're using with the ZF5..That opening/closing animation is NEXT LEVEL 🔥!!!.. Disregard bro...Just saw the one above mine😅
I do wish the fold series was a little shorter and a bit wider for the front display. The narrow screen ratio isnt for me. I like the flip 5 but again that display seems a bit to narrow. As someone who always has my tabs8 u and soon to be s9u in there edc bag i dont really need a fold device and my iphone 14pm and s23u are utulize for their purpose. But i can see the functionality for some with the fold series. The flip was cool but then it took up more space in the pocket when folded in half and after awhile i stopped using it because of the fact i had to flip it open for every single use or id just leave it unfolded. The nostalgia wore off quick.
I just got the Z fold 5 less than a week ago, I've been an apple user for the last 10+ years and let me tell you the Z fold 5 is a breath of fresh air. Love the Z fold 5, i dont think im ever going back to apple. The versatility, the screen, the features are great. Apple hasnt done anything innovative or impressive in years. Still have plenty of tips and tricks to learn but im excited to learn how to really use it
Looks great. I just got the s23 Plus. But eventually perhaps in 2025 I will transition to the fold. Also I too love SwiftKey But I have to tell you Google is doing everything to restrict SwiftKey users from being fully effective especially on Samsung phones. I try to use SwiftKey on my s23 Plus and the voice to diction doesn't work as well as the Gboard Mic. This really sucks because SwiftKey seems more practical especially for business use. Thank you for the video😊
Just came across your channel by luck. My F5 comes next week. Airdrop is revolutionary to be fair, the closest thing we have on Android is Samsung Flow. It works with your PC etc but it can be a bit finnicky.
@PatrickRambles oh my bad, I forgot about QuickShare. Which is the literal equivalent to Airdrop, except it doesn't work with Micrsoft soooo kinda renders it useless in comparison.
Some contrasting utility shifts, Airdrop : nearby share , files cloud : google drive or one drive for file ecosystem, rest of it samsung is a smooth shift...if this helps
Wow awesome*** you're reviewing this- I like Apple and they seem to keep coming up with niffy little things you can do-more so I really miss innovation and an open platform -- Google is very good at this - their hardware seems to lack mileage though- so I very much have looked closely at the Fold 5 and dig the whole scene-S Pen and all- I support where the EU is going with Apple to open up the garden- your reviews are very unique really interested to see more of your take on the Fold 5 - Samsung might not realize what an asset your review is****
That's is growing up. Good for you. I did the same a year ago. I was an apple fan boy since apple Power PCs and apple Motorola stars computers. Now , if I use my apple 13 promax it's feels son 2008. Have fun welcome to 2023.
Google has Nearby Share, which I use like Airdrop between my phones, tablet and even my Windows laptop. I don't think it works with any Apple products, though.
I wasn't an early adopter of the iPhone. I waited till the iPhone 3GS came out (ok it's a chain of a long line of phones). I will give you that Samsung is really at the top of its game when providing "flashy" screens (high res, deep, color saturation, fast refresh rates), new charging methods, and quick shortcuts. Absolutely! Apple is always lingering even when they didn't have the fierce competition that Samsung always provides today. Apple "lurks" when it comes to technology...just peeks and finally comes out with it (maybe even years later). Some say it's "to get it right", others say "soak in the profits", and on. Even Siri is just sooooo tired and old. I think the number one reason that I'll stick with Apple is integration. They do the integration better than anyone. Yes they too have even had "best intentions" go bad..the've had some "stinkers" as far as products. So Apple is far from perfect. I've always thought of the Android operating system as a "tech guru's" wet dream...Highly customizable. So much so that they have distribution problems with their phone OS (highly inconsistent distribution). Eh...To each their own..I'll stick with my iPhone for now.
Oh same story here. I've been a big fan of Apple since iPhone 2 then 3 to 3GS, it was a total blast to me at that time. Then went for Macbook unibody, too good. But now switched to Lenovo Yoga Slim 7i pro, and much much better than Macbook pro, waiting for my first ever Android phone is Z fold 5 late this month too, excited. No more Apple things in my house, for sure, from Steve Jobs to just a scamming company. The biggest one is when they cut down a charger, on behalf of environmental protection, totally bs!
The Zfold 5, as well as other samsung phones don't come with a charger anymore. They also don't have a headphone jack, something I still hate as I like nice headphones.
Great video. Last couple of year's i have been updating yearly. Am trying not to as I love my s23 ultra. I want a fold. And this year I am thinking of making this my first foldable. Just nervous. The way people go on about the cover screen. Nice to see you use it. I think it is OK. Obviously you want to open it. But the front is still usable
I have an iPhone 13 mini and I’m on the fence about leaving Apple for Samsung. I looking for something new 🙌🏾 and Apple is nice especially with this iOS 17 beta.. but that’s not enough to keep me. I have the 5th gen iPad Air, SE Apple Watch, AirPods Pro & air tag & 2 iPhone 6s.. so I’m not to worried that but man I’m def in need of something new 💯
I'm looking to switch from a Note 10+. I've been waiting to get a Fold 4 on sale when the 5 dropped. But now I want the Flip 5! But looking at this video the Fold looks so good!!! I don't know if I want enhanced functionality (I do want that) Or a minimalist abstration layer for my phone that make me more present day to day. Curious about your thoughts on that?
I upgraded to fold 5 from note 10 plus as well. For me to buy these expensive phones only makes sense if you can atleast use them for 4-5 years. Just to get the money's worth. I really think flip4 was the flip that convinced me that we are good with foldables but still didn't have the confidence in fold 4. However fold 5 is a different story, I felt as assured with fold 5 as I was with flip 4. I am pretty sure, as was with me that I couldn't think of going back to normal phone after note, you would appreciate same with fold 5. For me personally, apple is and was always a sham.
Right! If Apple comes out with a killer foldable I might switch right back. I'm not THAT much of a brand loyalist, I just like interesting tech and lately, Apple is sleeping on it.
Hey guys! Many of you are asking about the dynamic wallpaper and where to get it. Just go to settings on your device and search for Samsung Themes. Here you can purchase lots of different ones. The one in the video is called "Elite Black" 🔥
iPhone user here. 😁 Can you please post the link for this dynamic wallpaper, if it’s not too much of a hassle?
iPhone user here. If it’s not cumbersome, can you please share a link?

You didn't even mention Dex. Why do you need a Mac unless it's super heavy video editing? The Dex can handle other things.
@@user-fs8lz9re2q look, Dex is neat, but let's not act like it replaces a computer.
As an Apple fanboy myself, I gotta tell you, after I played with that foldable Samsung, in our local electronics shop, I though, maybe this will be my next phone. Beautiful piece of tech.
Same. But I work for Apple😅
I'm tempted as well. The only thing holding me back is... airdrop.
@@Mehwhatevr Yep..I know what you mean! Yep, that's what holds me back too, as we use AirDrop in my fam a lot, since we're all on iOS.
If your thinking about the switch, just do it! There are always work arounds for everything. I've just traded the 14 pro max in for the fold 5, no regrets. Doesn't take long getting used to the front screen!
@@kennyzraht5804 What does Airdrop do?

Running Ofice 365 and editing spreadsheets on the go with the large display is just a game changer. Very pleasantly surprised with battery life as well. Well done, Samsung!
Yep, it's a fantastic device
Going back to a slab phone would be like going from fiber optic internet to DSL 😂
@@Lesspaw41Apparently I'm the only one. I prefer the candy bar phones over fold. Ive gotten used to the 5 after returning my 4 last year to go back to my Note. But my phone was dying and it was cheaper to trade for the 5 than it was a S23U. I actually went to Best buy to check out an A54 because it looks and feels just as good as a S23+. Don't need the power of the fold, just wanna be able to quickly pull my phone out and use one handed.
Hello. How’s the battery life after a few months? Thanks
I have a fold 5 and feel the same way, I just love using it, I take it out just to use it because I miss not using it haha. Excellent device and easily my favourite phone if all time
Absolutely loved hearing your take on the fold 5 Patrick! I hope you continue to enjoy your time with it! Great video 🔥
I absolutely love these kinds of videos. It doesn't matter if you switch back in the end. There's just something super fun to watch when someone tries something completely different and new for the first time.
Theres definitely a lot of apps that can replace certain apple only apps. Just need to do a bit of work, but it pays off in the long run!
Hate how Apple are always behind the curve with this stuff. Remember when they used to innovate?! Why no iPhone flip or fold yet? Great video, very tempted to switch myself.
Samsung has its own feature that works like Airdrop.
Yep, quick share and link share. Both work great, most folks just aren't used to these options even being there.
Quick share is for Samsung to Samsung. Share link is with any device (even iphone) from my understanding.
Quick Share is better than Google's solution
QuickShare can UWB to share files significantly faster than apples garbage

Was a iPhone fanboy per sa for years. When the Galaxy S10 hit, that's when I switched. As you mentioned, all the iPhones felt the same, overpriced (at the time) for the same type of phone just newer chip. Then when the lawsuit hit Apple for slowing down older iPhones so that users will upgrade, that was the straw that broke the camel's back. Been a Galaxy fan since and can't wait for the fold 5 to arrive. Welcome to the Samsung family. Will also help your channel diversify itself with other products.
Thanks!
Same for me, I was apple all the way until they admitted to slowing down their phone. That matched when my iphone slowed down and I thought "OK apple, you want me to change phone? I will change phone. I'll get a Samsung." Haven't looked back since. I'm still macbook all the way, but that's where it ends for me.
It’s a big stretch to assume that Apple was downgrading batteries to encourage people to buy new phones. That was never established. The mistake they made was not telling people about it, and that’s what got them in hot water.
I don’t believe apples intentions were ever nefarious in nature. But as batteries get older in phones, you can experience unexpected shutdowns when the phone requires a big draw from the battery, and the battery is unable to provide it. Apple was actually trying to make the user experience better. That whole situation was badly blown out of proportion.
For the record, their phones still do the same thing. They throttle down the performance of the phone as batteries get older.
@@DanLetts97 Well...as an iPhone user, I have an idea. How about don't focking slow down my phone for any reason!
😆@@slten12
I currently have the S23 Ultra but decided to order the fold 5 and the new Galaxy watch 6 because I got a pretty good trade in deal. It will probably arrive tomorrow. This will be my first foldable phone and ever since the fold 1 came out way back in 2019 I got really interested but chose to stick to traditional smartphones. I can´t wait for it to arrive!
My first one too 🙌
@@PatrickRambles How´s the battery life? How much sot can you usually get out of it? I usually get around 7-8 on my s23 ultra
wooohoooo same here........!!
I'm trading my S23 Ultra too. I'm nervous about the decrease in battery life and camera quality, but I want to carry on! :)
@jeffdaly9365 same her.i went 22 ultra to 23 ultra because we got 8 gen 2 instead of exynos. Which we always get. Huge difference. I want to make this my first fold. Still a little nervous
Upgrading to the Fold5 after having the Fold2 since release in 2020. Looking forward to it...can't decide what colour S Pen case to get! This was the first vid I could find which properly showcases the black case.
I did switched my iphone 14 pro max to flip 5 and no regret at all. I haven't regret single bit. I know it's still couple weeks from arriving but I just plan to stick around with android from now. I realized after using PC, ecosystem isn't important. Apple kind of brainwashed me and captivate me to their ecosys but now I just don't want to be bound anymore. Just like I've missed my samsung note 5 back in the day, I'll continue forward with samsung. also selling my apple watch ultra, throw away my 30 dollar useless and creepy airtag but will still keep my airpods 1st gen just because. they share the same purpose to listen to music.
Ive also made the switch as a long term iPhone/mac ecosystem user… looking forward to more videos on this phone! I expect some frustrations but I was just so bored of the iPhones
Congratulations on your purchase! I did the same I have the 14 Pro Max the Fold 3 and Flip 5. It's simply so different from iPhones. Amazing. I will replace my Fold 3 when Samsung changes the design. I love both my foldables. Great job Samsung.
I've been deep in the ecosystem too. But when I held the ZFold5 in one of the Samsung stores, I immediately fell in love. Pre-ordered already and I'm excited for the release 😍
Same
How did it go? I made it through 3 months of frustration with the horrible integration before switching back.
@@Mario-gy4wxtbh most people have had Android once in there life. It’s not hard to adjust whatsoever. The issue is that you prolly just prefer Apple which is completely fine too
congrats on making the switch. I felt the exact same way as you. Great video!
I just recently switched from being DEEP in the apple ecosystem and it was such a nice update. Plus, with the right apps anything is possible.
Can you explain what you meant by “with the right apps anything is possible”? I’m about to switch to the fold 5 from the iPhone 12
@flowfactoryinc07 meaning take your time to configure your device properly to you. For example, if you don't want to use Google messages, use samsung messages, it's the closest to IOS in terms of design. Learn about sharing drive files, links to images, and more. Plus. If you are "missing" something you liked on your iPhone, I promise there is an app or workaround to get that feature on your Fold. Trust me, it is amazing what you can do on android, and will love the OneUi interface.
@flowfactoryinc07 basically meaning you can have ANY feature you desire with proper research. For example, the shortcuts app on iPhone to rename apps doesn't come by default on samsung android, but you can add it
Great video. I preordered my Z Fold 5 last week and will be my first ever Fold device and android device as had iPhones for over 10 years and got bored with Apple making little to nothing changes. Looking forward to learning how to use a new device.
Awesome! My first fold too.
I was always an apple user bud decided to switch to the fold 4 and i am freaking loving it.
One I can tell for sure is this guy ain't a fanboy. He's super objective. Kudos Patrick 🎉🎉🎉
I've been on the fold series since the 3 , and have been rocking my fold 4 without a case for the last 3 months . Sturdy phone, if your not prone to drops , should be good to go . The new s pen and case look so nice , I pre ordered with my fold 5 . Enjoy, their is no going back from a foldable phone imo .
I stay with the Apple ecosystem for one main reason: the iTunes Store. You see, I hate streaming music. I’m old-school, and I want to own my music, and when I hear a song, I just wanna buy it and then have it. I don’t wanna rent my Music
No other company has anything even close to the iTunes Store, and never will.
I have only used Mac computers and only used Samsung phones for several years now. The dichotomy is definitely a tricky one to navigate, but I love each of those devices enough to deal with the inconveniences. I use cloud storage for my photo and video projects, so that is my go-to for "quick" file transfers. I enjoy the phone way too much to cave into the Apple ecosystem. Welcome to the club!
Dropbox is pretty quick these days. I'm sure there are workarounds. Apple is just so good ad removing all friction - that's hard to beat.
@@PatrickRambles While I agree that Apple devices integrate together better than any other experience, what Apple does even better is making their products not integrate with anyone else. This just rubs me the wrong way because all the various other companies' Android and Windows devices work reasonably well together and you can mix and match with reasonable assurance that they will work. Unfortunately, Apple has made it so you have to choose between all Apple or no Apple.
Getting my fold 5 on Friday along with the galaxy watch 6 classic 47mm in sliver, can't wait
As a iPhone user for over 14 years I just ordered the Samsung z fold 5 1TB so excited!
I have been an iPhone user since iPhone 1 came out. The fold 5 made me switch too :)
The answer for those with Apple devices looking at an Android phone, is to stay in the Apple ecosystem while also using Google, Microsoft and third party apps to bridge IOS to Android. You don’t need to leave your Apple World. You can keep it, and travel between worlds. I have a Mac, iPad and have had a Samsung Phone for 3 years.
Firstly, back up Samsung photos to Google Photos (or/and OneDrive or other depending on preference). Then sync Apple photos to Google Photos (or/and Outlook). This allows you to access any photo or video taken on any device to be accessed on any device.
In this process, you will choose a back-up cloud service on your Samsung phone, like Google Drive, OneDrive or Other. Add this cloud service to your Apple devices for Syncing.
Secondly, sync Apple calendar to Google Calendar (or/and Outlook). Anything entered on Google calendar on your Samsung phone will automatically show up in Apple Calendar on your Apple devices, and vice-versa. Important if either calendar links to any particular third party productivity apps.
Thirdly, choose a third party email on Samsung phone (GMail, Outlook, other), and you can add these to Apple Email. I don’t use Apple email so this was easy.
Fourth, prefer to use third party apps available on both the Apple Store and Google Playstore, avoiding both apple and Samsung specific apps unless you have favourites for specific device and use cases. This is for Notes, entertainment, productivity, password manager, etc.
Fifth, keep using predominantly iCloud and apple Files, with your additional cloud service when you may need to drag and drop something for access on your Samsung phone. You can drag and drop a file from apple files to Google Drive, which still leaves the original file in apple files unless you additionally drag that original file to Bin.
And finally, allow some time to un-learn what you’ve always been doing so far, to relearn new tricks, relearn that muscle memory… in order to eventually be able to operate cross-platform, no matter what technology throws at you. Stay with Apple, but also enable surprises with Samsung or Google or Other to enter your overall ecosystem, that may come your way😊
Just need to finally add, Samsung Pay is legit on Samsung Phones, and it’s recommended you use it in conjunction with Samsung Pass for security purposes. You can still have Google Pay on some apps, you can still have Apple Pay on Apple devices, it all comes from the cards you enter on whatever device. All have excellent safety. I’ve never had Samsung Pay let me down.
This can also replace your iPad, and potentially even your laptop (when you’re not video editing) with Samsung DeX. AirDrop has a similar feature on Android called NameDrop, and you can also have a workaround with Windows that uses iMessage (don’t know what it’s called but it works, just not all that good IMO). And the S Pen is also useful for the camera feature set (believe it or not, found that out from AlexGear&Tech) - there is so much you can do with this.
Can't wait to explore
NameDrop !!... Android has Nearby Share our Samsung's own Quick Share built-in
Lol. "there's a workaround for this, you can tweak this, you can use this third party app, this is kinda like Apple, there's another workaround for that...." No thanks. I'll stick with my flawless Apple ecosystem where everything just works, and works together. I always lol at android users listing their 50 tweaks to get their phones to work similar to Apple.
@@chris7077 Everything works out of the box no workarounds needed.
And what workarounds are we even talking about? Let's say some feature in Android A device is better than Android B or iPhone there were work arounds.
The reason for no workarounds in apple is because they keep you locked in and tells how to use your device and not how you like the device to be(till today).
Suppose if some feature in Android are good and want to have it in iPhone then only option is to jailbreaking your device(assuming that feature is available).
But Android being open sourced lot of devs do some creative stuff and open source their code and release apks.
You've to wait for years until good features from android come to apple.
@@chris7077I don't know what you or the commenter are on about, but Samsung and Google both have their versions of Airdrop and sync with other devices.
In my experience, the Google one does tend to work better though.
Good luck with it loving the screen wallpaper thanks Alex 😂 enjoy Patrick . I’m afraid 2 change in case I loose my stuff everything is on my I phone 👏🇮🇪😎
I feel ya 😅
Subscribed as i’m basically in a similar situation looking forward to the next one
Welcome 🔥
Excellent video Patrick. I am getting my Fold 5 on the 11th. Can’t wait. Will be interesting to see your full hands on review of the Z Fold 5. Cheers buddy.
Thanks man!
@@PatrickRambles by the way the vascularity on the forearms and biceps is on point. Looking good man. Keep it up 👍💪
Really looking forward to your video about Android apps that are equivalent to iPhone apps - been having the same struggle moving from iPhone to Android because of that reason. The stock Apple apps are so well done that any equivalent Android apps seems clunky - specifically Reminders, Notes, and Calendar.
Great video as always - thank you!
Yep, I agree. It's going to be hard finding apps that work as smoothly.
@@PatrickRambles I second @dw7970. I just switched to the Pixel Fold and I'm loving it. But everything else I have is Apple. I am using AirMessage to help with my iMessage switch. Most people in the states, where I am, don't use something like WhatsApp, so I it either messaging on Android or iMessage out here. I would love to see a video focused on switching over from iOS to Android or how you handle using both devices, because I too kept my iPhone as a secondary phone to work with my Apple Watch Ultra. I can't give that up. Always look forward to your videos, Patrick! Thanks for all your hard work you put into them - and thank you to anyone else on your production team (if anyone else).
One note, google calendar and Samsung has its own calendar and reminders app some how all my events and calendar info transferred from apple to Samsung
Shouldn't really be that hard. I have both iphone 14pm and s23ultra and I have no issues running apps, esp notes and calendars. Most apps run fantastic on both now unless you are using device specific apps that are obviously only on each device. It's not about which phone is better per se, it's more of which device fits your needs better. I'm not tied into any eco system and use things like Google and one drive so I can access anything I need from any device albeit apple or windows ios or android.
The poorly designed Android apps are my reason for sticking with iOS. Nothing in Android compares to Notability nor Goodnotes. OneNote is stripped of tools on Android and sucks compared to iOS. Samsung Notes is pretty good but after using Notability you realize just how clunky it is. The iOS stock note app just keeps getting better and better.
😂 I also find myself whipping mine out to play with it!!! … hilarious!!
I have the Z Fold 4 & I’m having trouble moving away from this phone. The Z fold 5 is gorgeous, but not sure I’m going to upgrade. You’re kinda selling it to me!
😂😂
I have a iPhone 14 Pro Max, since last year, tomorrow will be my delivery with Galaxy Fold 5 Gray color as a second phone. Good video.
I have an iPhone for years but im really thinking of switching to the fold 5
I currently have an iPhone 14 Pro Max, Apple Watch Ultra, latest iPad Pro 11 inch and a 15 inch Macbook air M2.... and I'm getting so stinking bored with the ecosystem. But I feel locked in... so kudos to you for venturing outside the walls!!
Last time I used a Samsung product was for the Galaxy S5 and it was such a great phone and can’t wait for this Fold 5, they really have stepped it up over the years !
Hi Patrick. Great review and insights to your journey. I'm a fan of Alex also and like him I switched from my focus on iPhone to the S23 Ultra. I'm waiting for my Z Fold 5 to show up. I'm everything Apple but I have really loved Android and I'm relegating my iPhone as simply my Apple
Watch Ultra connection and the Z Fold will be my main device. I'm testing Beeper and Sunbird on my S23U currently. I've followed you as well and will enjoy learning about your journey. Hope I can add value along the way.
Thanks Sam, much appreciated!
The thing that I love about Samsung is their display it's so good..
Facts.
Thanks for the clip mate. I am on S23 ultra. I am a Note user for.. 4 ever. I tried fold 3 for a day but did not convinced me. I am now thinking for a switch to the fold 5. Hope I will not regret it. Just I thought its worth a try.
I think I’m going to do it too! Waiting to see a video of some workarounds
Found this video last night and immediately subscribed. The question I would have right off the bat was where did you find that cool lock screen that you're using? You mentioned the person that you got it from but I can't seem to locate where to get it. Or is it something that's not publicly available?
Never mind. I just saw the pinned comment.
Would you mind where u get those long stand up ambient lights sitting in the corner next to the couch ?
Thanks
I had both Samsung S22 Ultra and Iphone11.
However, since Fold5 is also Dual Sim, I have ordered one
And planning to ditch both my older ones for Single Fold5 in pocket.
It's tempting to go fold only, isn't it.
Hi sir, what is the wall paper or scree. Saver you used? It's so cool.
Worth the hype 👌
Time will tell ;)
"I find myself whipping it out of my pocket to play with it" Hahaha... good joke!
Very interesting video. I was thinking about making the same change when they announced it. I still haven’t bought it, waiting to see what apple announces next month, but I doubt I’ll be upgrading to and iPhone this year
It looks like it won't be a mind blowing update. Just USB C and some minor improvements in the hardware. I'll review it of course. I think 2024 will be a major year for Apple. They have no choice.
First time watching. Earned a sub 👏
Awesome! Thank you!
Thnx voor je review! Ik heb de Fold 5 gisteren binnen gekregen. Geweldig toestel! Vraagje.. Waar kan ik die dynamic wallpaper vinden? Bij Alex kan ik niks vinden :(
Great video! I’m in the same situation as you where I am fully in the apple ecosystem, thinking of going for this fold 5 tho as it will help me with work and stuff on the move main sticking point for me is the Apple Watch ultra that I don’t want to drop, will have to check on the new Samsung watch and see how that is. Will keep an eye out for your update, subbed and liked 👍
Thanks! I'll be reviewing the Samsung watch classic next week (as an AWU user).
Don't switch, I made it through three months of frustration and mutistep processes that used to just work without even realizing how easy it was.
Didnt see this coming.. sometimes its good to do the switch. I do it every 2 years
Let's see where this goes :)
I found your channel because I‘ve been looking for my first smartwatch and I couldn’t decide which one. Right now I‘m using a Galaxy Note 10+ so it would be dumb not to get an Android smartwatch for it. But I will get a new phone soon and I can’t decide between the upcoming iPhone 15 Pro or the Galaxy S23 Ultra/Fold 5 so it would be dumb to get an Android smartwatch if I decide to get the iPhone and it would be dumb to buy the Apple Watch Ultra if I get the S23/Fold. I‘m not fully in either ecosystem as I use an iPad and a windows laptop.
I love your videos as you say what you think and not favor one brand because you used it for longer. Can’t wait to hear your long term verdict using the Fold 5!
Thanks man! Currently testing the watch 6 classic. Video this week :)
Great balance to often switch and try difference devices and ecosystems, makes you appreciate benefits and strengths within a ecosystem.
😂 Nice review, I have made the switch from iphone 14 pro max to the Fold 5 and love it. However, my daughter did ask what kind of video i was watching! Whipping it out of my pocket and playing wirh it.😂😂😂
I love my galaxy fold 4. I have seen other brands making them as thin as an iPhone when closed. Also I do have a feeling that Apple will adopt this foldable feature in about 2 years. They just gotta see the tech getting better.
If Apple allowed iMessage to be used on android, they’d lose 30% of their iPhone users immediately. Add a true Airdrop feature, and a lot of people would look at androids. I use both and really wish I could just use my Fold
Not even remotely true. iPhones sell because of the Apple ecosystem that works flawlessly with all other Apple products and FaceTime is another big reason. "Yeah but if Apple let android use iMessage, airdrop, FaceTime, Apple Pay and Apple Watch a lot of people would look at androids" LMAO
@@chris7077true that id see myself having only a fold 5 but staying with apple watch and my ipads lol
@@chris7077 Um, I said add the two most popular parts of the Apple ecosystem and you said "Apple ecosystem"... I'll give you that the Apple Watch is another big one but I'm an Apple Watch user and could live with an Android Wear alternative. Apple Pay is NBD because Samsung Pay,etc work at all the same places in my experience.
@@chris7077I'm a high schooler in NYC. iMessage is quite literally THE ONLY reason people get an iphone, and one of my friends actually did so last month. It really does feel like iMessage is the reason people don't text me sometimes, whether it's true or not.
I've never heard of ANYONE using Facetime either.
Nearby share is the "airdrop" equivalent on Android
I am also a long term iphone user that just set up my z fold 5 yesterday. I've tried android years ago and didn't like it, but this phone got me excited. Seems like Android has come a long way since last I have tried it and I am loving it so far!
Agreed. It's good to try to other side every so often. They do evolve quite a bit.
I'm guessing, that just like me, you are feeling a little different after a couple months of use.
@@Mario-gy4wx I am still enjoying the phone and android. I don't miss apple stuff too much. Everyone that asks about my phone thinks its really cool. However, I definitely don't take advantage of everything it can do. I mostly open the phone to watch videos at this point which don't take up the whole screen, so my money was probably better spent on a regular phone and a tablet for that. But overall I am still enjoying the phone
What is that wallpaper on the Apple iphone at 1.23...?...and where did you get it ?
All I can say is God bless you, u have a new subscriber
Thank you - much appreciated!
❤ love the review, always liked the folding phone
Thanks man!
switched from apple to z fold 5. looking forwrd to see more of your videos.
Nice video! What is your wallpaper?
Where can i find that live eallpaper? Just got the z fold 5 and need that one 😅
I have been using iPhone since the iPhone 3G, and made the switch to the Fold 4 just a month ago. Will be upgrading to the Fold 5. But I love Apple and what they stand for. Will switch back to Apple once they release a Fold, although I'm guessing they would more likely release a Flip.
I'd love a fold device from Apple too. Rather than ditching the entire platform, I'm after symbiosis.
I left Iphones back in 2021 with the Z Fold2 and it was the Best choice I ever made..it was easy for me to do because I did not get into the Apple Eco system..
0:30: That right there, no bias iPhone bs.

My favorite thing about Samsung is the Modes and Routines app
I've been an android user since the Note 2, I recently purchased an iPad. Airdroid which let's you airdrop files to an android is the way 2 go. Also, I use Google drive instead of icloud to backup my iPad.
Nice video, where you get that wallpaper? :)
Thanks! Check the pinned comment :)
All time iPhone user here, started on the 3g. I moonlight a galaxy s9(forced to for work.)
I stopped upgrading after the 11 pro max, I’ve been waiting for another phone to come out that peaks my interest. I had made up my mind about getting a folding phone when the ZFold came out, but it wasn’t polished enough. I am so happy that I preordered the ZFold5, I can’t wait!
Exciting!
Me too acutely since 11 pro max i decide to go for the 120HRZ but i upgrade to Xiaomi because he gives huge upgrade
Fast charger 120W
Light in hand 196g
Easy to use as iphone
Very sharp chip& gpu
But now after 3 years of Xiaomi i decided to have the Fold 5
Now i have him already 1 month, it's very powerful phone/mini tablet
But i miss the fast charg as wel ( only 25W )
I miss the battery life ( Z fold is only 4400 & it's absolutely crab )
I charge the phone 2 time per day minimum since first day so i don't know what's gonna happened after 1 year using 😐
I am on the fence, really like the folds and this one seems so refined. Been an iPhone user for ages and was also waiting for the 15, though not many new feature from my 13 pro max. One thing I would miss is the ApplePay I know u have SamsungPay but not sure if it’s used as much or is as secure?
I've used Google pay for 5 years. Works everywhere and I have not heard about any security issues
@@jonnycarlson9555That’s great, it’s just that if your on the web or an app if a phone payment option is given it’s generally Apple Pay, thats my main concern that Apple Pay seems be the go to payment option rather then Samsung or Google?

I got my fold 5 today. It so awesome😊

Make sure u go on your camera and click on the 3/4 on top and choose the 50mp option.
I do wish the fold series was a little shorter and a bit wider for the front display. The narrow screen ratio isnt for me. I like the flip 5 but again that display seems a bit to narrow. As someone who always has my tabs8 u and soon to be s9u in there edc bag i dont really need a fold device and my iphone 14pm and s23u are utulize for their purpose. But i can see the functionality for some with the fold series. The flip was cool but then it took up more space in the pocket when folded in half and after awhile i stopped using it because of the fact i had to flip it open for every single use or id just leave it unfolded. The nostalgia wore off quick.
The pixel might have what you need.
I just got the Z fold 5 less than a week ago, I've been an apple user for the last 10+ years and let me tell you the Z fold 5 is a breath of fresh air. Love the Z fold 5, i dont think im ever going back to apple. The versatility, the screen, the features are great. Apple hasnt done anything innovative or impressive in years. Still have plenty of tips and tricks to learn but im excited to learn how to really use it
The ecosystem is everything! In my case, it's the Samsung world. I have the Fold 5 pre-ordered, and it will be my first foldable.
Looks great. I just got the s23 Plus. But eventually perhaps in 2025 I will transition to the fold. Also I too love SwiftKey But I have to tell you Google is doing everything to restrict SwiftKey users from being fully effective especially on Samsung phones. I try to use SwiftKey on my s23 Plus and the voice to diction doesn't work as well as the Gboard Mic. This really sucks because SwiftKey seems more practical especially for business use. Thank you for the video😊
Just came across your channel by luck. My F5 comes next week. Airdrop is revolutionary to be fair, the closest thing we have on Android is Samsung Flow. It works with your PC etc but it can be a bit finnicky.
Airdrop is hard to beat and I do use it all the time with my macs.
@PatrickRambles oh my bad, I forgot about QuickShare. Which is the literal equivalent to Airdrop, except it doesn't work with Micrsoft soooo kinda renders it useless in comparison.
How did you order this and already get the phone for a week when the phone isn’t out yet?
Some contrasting utility shifts, Airdrop : nearby share , files cloud : google drive or one drive for file ecosystem, rest of it samsung is a smooth shift...if this helps
Wow awesome*** you're reviewing this- I like Apple and they seem to keep coming up with niffy little things you can do-more so I really miss innovation and an open platform -- Google is very good at this - their hardware seems to lack mileage though- so I very much have looked closely at the Fold 5 and dig the whole scene-S Pen and all- I support where the EU is going with Apple to open up the garden- your reviews are very unique really interested to see more of your take on the Fold 5 - Samsung might not realize what an asset your review is****
Appreciate you, George!
That's is growing up. Good for you. I did the same a year ago. I was an apple fan boy since apple Power PCs and apple Motorola stars computers.
Now , if I use my apple 13 promax it's feels son 2008. Have fun welcome to 2023.
Google has Nearby Share, which I use like Airdrop between my phones, tablet and even my Windows laptop. I don't think it works with any Apple products, though.
I have my fold 4 and my 14 pro max. Don’t have to switch. I love both for different days and for different things
I wasn't an early adopter of the iPhone. I waited till the iPhone 3GS came out (ok it's a chain of a long line of phones). I will give you that Samsung is really at the top of its game when providing "flashy" screens (high res, deep, color saturation, fast refresh rates), new charging methods, and quick shortcuts. Absolutely! Apple is always lingering even when they didn't have the fierce competition that Samsung always provides today. Apple "lurks" when it comes to technology...just peeks and finally comes out with it (maybe even years later). Some say it's "to get it right", others say "soak in the profits", and on. Even Siri is just sooooo tired and old. I think the number one reason that I'll stick with Apple is integration. They do the integration better than anyone. Yes they too have even had "best intentions" go bad..the've had some "stinkers" as far as products. So Apple is far from perfect. I've always thought of the Android operating system as a "tech guru's" wet dream...Highly customizable. So much so that they have distribution problems with their phone OS (highly inconsistent distribution). Eh...To each their own..I'll stick with my iPhone for now.
Oh same story here. I've been a big fan of Apple since iPhone 2 then 3 to 3GS, it was a total blast to me at that time. Then went for Macbook unibody, too good. But now switched to Lenovo Yoga Slim 7i pro, and much much better than Macbook pro, waiting for my first ever Android phone is Z fold 5 late this month too, excited. No more Apple things in my house, for sure, from Steve Jobs to just a scamming company. The biggest one is when they cut down a charger, on behalf of environmental protection, totally bs!
The Zfold 5, as well as other samsung phones don't come with a charger anymore. They also don't have a headphone jack, something I still hate as I like nice headphones.
I wanted the best of both with the Samsungs, so i have the S23 Ultra and the Z Fold5, it's the perfect combo!
Great video. Last couple of year's i have been updating yearly. Am trying not to as I love my s23 ultra. I want a fold. And this year I am thinking of making this my first foldable. Just nervous. The way people go on about the cover screen. Nice to see you use it. I think it is OK. Obviously you want to open it. But the front is still usable
Thank you! How do you feel about the Z Flip? Review of that phone dropping later this week.
@PatrickRambles exciting as well.i just love that fold
How did u get that wallpaper on 6:05 or what is called :(
I have an iPhone 13 mini and I’m on the fence about leaving Apple for Samsung. I looking for something new 🙌🏾 and Apple is nice especially with this iOS 17 beta.. but that’s not enough to keep me. I have the 5th gen iPad Air, SE Apple Watch, AirPods Pro & air tag & 2 iPhone 6s.. so I’m not to worried that but man I’m def in need of something new 💯
4:52 use samsung keyboard and use the swipe to type, it really crazy fast and easy to type!
Are the black bars a thing on this phone, like on an ipad?
I'm looking to switch from a Note 10+. I've been waiting to get a Fold 4 on sale when the 5 dropped. But now I want the Flip 5! But looking at this video the Fold looks so good!!! I don't know if I want enhanced functionality (I do want that) Or a minimalist abstration layer for my phone that make me more present day to day. Curious about your thoughts on that?
Review on the Flip 5 dropping this week!
I upgraded to fold 5 from note 10 plus as well. For me to buy these expensive phones only makes sense if you can atleast use them for 4-5 years. Just to get the money's worth. I really think flip4 was the flip that convinced me that we are good with foldables but still didn't have the confidence in fold 4. However fold 5 is a different story, I felt as assured with fold 5 as I was with flip 4. I am pretty sure, as was with me that I couldn't think of going back to normal phone after note, you would appreciate same with fold 5. For me personally, apple is and was always a sham.
I appreciate you trying something new. I’m thinking about moving away from iPhone also. Too many versions with little changes.
Right! If Apple comes out with a killer foldable I might switch right back. I'm not THAT much of a brand loyalist, I just like interesting tech and lately, Apple is sleeping on it.
