When the original Fold came out, I thought there was no way this style of device would be as usable as a normal smartphone. But with Samsung's continuous refinement throughout the years, even I am considering buying this latedt version of the Fold. Well done, Samsung.
Yeah more people are starting to use Fold device in public and i was surprised! Even i thought it will just fade away.
@@LightBluly I mean it's still a product you can't really go out with, screen still destroys itself for no reason and the hinge is horrible, but that OS dock is amazing
I said the same but would argue that, me personally, still have no particular use or need for it. My Note 10 Plus alongside my iPad is more than fine
I will probably never buy a fold phone. Just not my thing. But it is cool to see all the refinements.
Still, bullshet phone, compared iphone and iPad, plus huawei more powerful than Samsung expected chip, kirin>>> snapdragon
No way! The wallpaper you are using on the fold (and thumbnail) is one of my art pieces!! This is so unbelievably cool to see something I made on one of my favorite channels!!
Did you get paid?
@@Heisenberg2K nah, not worried about it to be honest. I put it up on a wallpaper website for anyone to use however they want so it’s fine by me! I am just excited to see my wallpaper in one of MKBHDs videos !!
Haha I feel really happy for you😅. I also was looking at it like wow thats some nice art.
@@falka6751 Well thank you so much! Thats really kind of you to say!
Nice man! Where can I look at your work and maybe also download
Went from the 12 pro to the flip 4. I love it. I never notice the crease and the battery is great. I just like how compact it is and smooth.
Considering the same move🤔
until the display breaks 😂
Durability update?
Update? How's the experience so far?
Fold 3 owner here. I can't ever go back to a Single screen it's too cool. I love my Fold. Plus it's so functional and durable. I've dropped it so many times and still looks great. 100 recommend
How's the durability been? I have the flip 3 and my screen protector cracked after 7 months and the battery life hasn't been great. Those are the only two negatives. Everything else is great. I'm considering getting the fold 5 once I've hit the two year cycle.
@@MumenRider78 Well, I've had the fold 3 since launch and I think I might be the unluckiest person in the world. So far I've broken the inner and outer screens. Now in fairness, when I broke the inner screen any screen would have broken if it had landed like that. I'm not sure what happened with the outer screen when it broke. Other than those 2 times I haven't had any issues.
@@MumenRider78 thanks to the S8+ processor on flip 4, battery life is longer than S22 ultra (S8 processor)
@@briancaster2876 were they covered by warranty?
@@AmokCanuck Unfortunately not, their warranty replacement only covers defects. When the inner screen broke I had to take it to ubreakifix it only took a couple of hours to repair (I had to pay the insurance deductible). With the outer screen I got a hold of Samsung care directly, I still had to pay the deductible, but they sent me an upgraded model (I had the 256 gb they sent a 512 gb) in the mail then I sent them in the broken one
Really disappointing that Samsung ditched the rotating bezel on the Watch 5
It was one of their standout features and the main reason for a lot of people to buy the 'classic' version
But I've got hopes that it will return one day as new Watch 5 is a pro model while they still might do like Watch 5 Classic that will have specs of the regular Watch 5 but with rotating bezel minus upgrades that pro has
I love the bezel on my gear s3 frontier, even though that watch is slow as hell now. I don't think id buy another Samsung watch without it
Very happy with my gw4 and so far with no software upgrades plus no bezel gw5 seems like a downgrade despite the extra battery
i have gw4 classic and trust me, the rotationg bezels are not just a feature but also a protecting for the screen, ive hit my watch at random places but the bezel protect the screen good
They know what they're doing, they know how well loved the rotating bezel is and they will bring it back for more $$$$
I never really saw myself owning a folding smartphone any time soon but I decided to pull the trigger on the Z Flip 3 earlier this year, and it's easily one of the coolest and best functioning phones I've ever owned. So much so that I decided to get the watch to match. Nothing but respect for Samsung these days!
I have not regretted getting the flip 3 .
Except for having to design a mount for my anamorphic lens.
It’s like you’re trying really hard to bullshit yourself and bullshit Anyone who reads your comment. And what do you know, you have about 235 likes already and counting
You should try the Fold, its amazing. I'll never go back to a non folding phone.
@@rcl99tlr65 Yeah there’s one big issue. The Fold runs android. I don’t do android and I don’t want to deal with googles data collection activities
@@sammyjammy6647 dude, apples are made in China. They already have all of your data lol
Been on iOS for a while now, after previously rotating between Android and iOS. This video actually made me wonder about making another switch to Android. Great content 👍
Its basically asking if you'd rather a Lexus or a Jeep. Me I'd rather a jeep so Samsung it is.
Make it pro
Literally just switched from an iPhone 10 and a I can't go back. Fold 4 is amazing
I think so
Hey, if you like boring devices, stick with Apple
I just found your Channel today when I search for the Sanyo xacti video and it’s so cool to see that 12 years later you and your channel are still active and going strong. Congratulations!
As a Samsung user, I've always missed your reviews of the brand's ecosystem products. I would very much like a complete analysis of the watches launched this year.
Also the buds pro 2
He reviewed everything apple released, headphones, earbuds, airtag, apple monitor, but nothing from android companies not the galaxy buds pro, not the pixel buds, smart tag, samsung monitor, nothing, he even reviewed ios 16 multiple times but not android software, call me crazy here but i don't think marques is the unbiased "tech" reviewer he once was
@@ridgefrost cry about it
@@ridgefrost Yup :/
@@ridgefrost I think it’s because more people just care about apple products. It does suck for us Samsung fans though.
Would love to see a full detailed review of the watches please. In addition to comparing the Pro to the standard version, it'd be awesome to have a comparison on the BT & LTE versions.
It would definitely be interesting to see a review of the watches, especially with the pixel watch coming out at some point.
No point in reviewing the watches. Apple Watch is better
In theory, BT and LTE models are identical apart from cellular functionality... So what are you hoping to find out in particular? e.g. the difference in battery life between the two, or the convenience of having LTE etc.
@@OKayD3N It's actually kind of crazy how much better the Galaxy Watch is better than the Apple Watch.
It's not even debatable or up for grabs like the debate between iPhones and Galaxy phones.
@@leonfrancis3418 what makes the samsung one better?
After being in love with the Flip phones since the first one, I finally was able to get the Flip 4 and I have never been happier with a phone
Please! Definitely need a watch review, to see how well the pair with these new phones amd some of the great features. Thanks for all your great reviews!
I love that they’re keeping the under display selfie camera. It’s a new and innovative technology so I don’t really expect it to be the absolute best right now, but hopefully it gets exponentially better!
Yeah I'm loving it and while it might seem subtle but I'm so excited for this tech to get better! Applications would be sweeet.
While it is an interesting technology, I don't get why smartphone manufactures don't just use pop out cameras. You get the full front screen and it's probably much less of a pain to build.
@@luc_official pop up cameras? You were in the tech space 3-4 years ago right? There’s a fair reason why they’ve been discontinued
@@johnb2001jb there is no fair reason for it, they were definitely better than folding phones are
@@johnb2001jb I am a OnePlus 7 pro user and I still love the selfie camera
Definitely interested in seeing a full review of the watches, I imagine that if they caught Marques' eyes, it means there's at least the potential android wearables could be getting closer to Apple watch territory in terms of usability?
I'm a 100% sure this watch'll beat the upcoming series 8
I mean just looking at it's hardware features...it's an Apple watch killer!!!!
The current galaxy watch 4 is already as powerfull and more efficient and with more features than the best apple watch
@@unbeatable7469 unfortunately not in the smaller form factors, they severely lack in the aspect of battery lifespan, I had the watch 4 classic smaller version lte and the battery literally died within the week, couldn't hold a charge... I really wished they had just made the classic and not this "pro" version that looks soo weird with no rotating bezel
@@Dreamershorts1 Absolutely not. Samsung’s wearables are improving, sure, but they’re still nowhere near “Apple Watch killer” territory. Don’t be absurd.
@@unbeatable7469 Yeah i got one. super good
Absolutely. I would love to see your review on these Galaxy 5 watches! Looking forward to it. Great video by the way.👍🏻👍🏻

Terimakasih 🙏🙏
All the money this dude invests into content, you'd think he'd have an intern to spend 5 mins making time stamps.
Definitely would like an in-depth review of the watches. Especially the pro model as I'm looking for something with those added features for outdoor activities.
Same. I live near some biking trails and I want my fat ass to lose weight hahaha. Plus I enjoy the outdoors
im a person who just bought a watch 4 classic lol
Was dissapointed with a lack of time given to the watch in this video
@@arizahmad6743 same bro now I regret buying it I just got it like last month
Another year or 2 of some finishing touches and upgrades on the Fold, and it will be a must have.
Cheers Marques, another great quick review. Just what I needed. Be great if you could review the 2 watches. Thanks!
The Fold has quickly become my most anticipated phone release every year.
I'm absolutely loving my fold 3, I can't wait to see how this category evolves in the future
@@l4g I translated…guess I’m cursed forever now 🫥
I have zero desire to have a folding phone
@Vital Perspectives what part of carrying a tablet in your pocket isn't innovation
@@musman9853 the content isn't even optimized to use a the space:/
I'd love more detailed reviews of the watches. Especially when it comes to the accuracy of the sensors and the data they record (something most reviewers never talk about).
I have a Watch4 and it's sensors are really nice BUT if you have tattoo sleeves then the sensor will not read correctly or at all.
The quantified scientist has vids on that for most smart watches which are super useful!
@@annie_122 Watching his videos, I've come to the conclusion that all smartwatches suck (for health tracking) except for ones we can't get in the US or the Apple watch.
Check out DCRainmaker for his look at the sensors (not good).
I upgraded from the Galaxy Watch to the 5 pro and am enjoying it so far. I do miss the rotating bezel cause I was so use to it, but am enjoying the look and feel of this one. Plus the added features my old galaxy watch didn't have. Currently I am on 48hr use since full charge and have 51% battery left.
Everytime i need to go see a review i go at you and always with the top notch videos, thanks for uploading man
I remember buying the fold 2 when it first came out and having people be in shock when they see me open the phone or I always got stopped and asked what phone is that lol, samsung products have always brought peoples attention. I love it.
Yes same thing happened with the s6 edge
As an owner of a Watch 4 classic when i saw the title i was super excited. But honestly the thing that got me the most excited is that Fold UI/UX improvement, that looks great. I really really like the spinning bezel on the Watch 4 classic, and i am pretty disappointed to not see it return in some form on the Watch 5 models. The better battery life is nice, always love to see that, but i generally get 1.5 days of battery life and dont mind my current charging routine.
An interesting turn for the Watch 5, i wonder what they'll do with the 6.
Is the Galaxy Watch 5 Classic coming?
@@JohnnyZenith as of currently there's no news of a watch 5 "classic".
I got myself an S22 (base model) and a Galaxy Watch 4 Classic 46mm and I'm really happy with both of them EXCEPT one aspect: the battery. It is awful on both of them. The Watch lasts me about 1.5 days aswell but I barely get through a day with the S22. At least the supercharger makes it a little more conveninet since it charges it up pretty fast. And I got the wireless charging pad which can charge the watch, phone and galaxy buds all at once and that's pretty convenient too. Overall, great in every aspect, except the battery.
If u have the watch 4 its not worth the upgrade
Once the fold slides into the ultra range, it will be a must-have
the fold 4 got me invested into looking at the mobile phone industry again it's more or less what I've been waiting for to come out, very happy with the direction it's going in.
Had the z fold 3 for about 6 months now. Definitely my favorite phone, good for heavy phone users. I do find myself having ot charge it at the end of a 10 hour shift. Favorite thing about it is the processor. It's always super smooth. I can run ps1, ps2, and N64 emulators, with no issue.
@Real marquesbrownlee shut up
@Real marquesbrownlee Haha...spam!
I wish I could say the same about my flip 3. Thing crashes all the time running basic apps.
@@NovaSixx fr? I'd take it to samsung
Even ps2 emulators? Damn I'm pretty hype for this
I always prefer the fold over the flip since owning a fold is like owning a phone and a tablet.
Yea I love my z fold 3.
I sold it because many apps aren't optimized for the aspect ratios. I'm one of the ones who prefer the Flip.
I prefer flip too
If you have to buy fold 4
I will buy a laptop
@@petertollner I think the Flip sells many more units than the Fold, you're not the only one in that position. I use Labs to resize apps to my liking, but not sure to what degree this affects their optimisation.
The food is good but the only thing that’s bad is that it’s really slim when closed
I have the Fold 3 since last year and I couldnt be happier. Very solid battery life, good camera, the tablet form factor is such a game changer i cant go back to normal phones the multi tasking is great.
My wife has the Flip 3 (we bought both at the same time). She is very happy with it.
Im glad that they made Fold 4 and Flip 4 too, the refinements and such. This is great news for me since i dont wish the Fold/Flip to stop being made.
Regarding the creases folks dont worry you simply cant see it when you watch something on it.
What surprised me how durable it is too. My s8+ shattered so quickly even with the official case. The fold 3 and flip 3 fell badly on the ground a few times and nothing happened to it. No cases on these two.
For those on the fence with the Fold 3 or the new 4: just get it. You wont regret it.
I would love to see some full reviews on the new Watch 5's!! I think an interesting video would be a comparison of this to Fossil's latest watch, a FitBit smartwatch, Apple's Watch Series 7, and potentially a budget watch brand. Comparing UI, fitness tracking, health monitoring, productivity tools (things that make daily living easier without taking your phone out), and compatibility between Apple and Android for each one 🙌
I'd definitely watch content for Wearable Tech! My first was a disappointing Fossil. But, my latest is a TicWatch Pro. What a difference! Way better battery life! An Android compatible watch (Wear OS) that lasts 2.5 days on a single charge with use (Even longer in Battery Extender mode)!
Would mind giving a quick review I've been wanting a smart watch but I also had a fossil and hated it.
Who buys android smartwatches? Seriously. Apple watch is so much better even android fans won’t deny it
@@lupreztryson there is no professional athletics athlete using apple watch for training and tournament.. lmao. Apple Watch accuracy is crap compared to garmin watch
2.5 days is still unacceptable for a watch IMO. Garmin watch battery life is where it's at, I won't consider any android or apple watch until battery life meets or exceeds 1 week with normal use
@@zulfika_ Apple Watch does perform the the best in terms of accuracy among all other wearable (Garmin included) next in line would be the Huawei's high-end watches according to this one youtuber's scientific reviews which seem pretty legit, this is coming from a android guy.
But again for someone like me who'd into the android eco-system, Watch 4 is much more preferable than an apple watch and visa-vera.
Definitely interested in seeing a full review on the watches. Been on the Watch 4 Classic since it came out and it's been a pretty decent experience but not without it's pain points. Looking forward to what the Watch 5 Gen has to offer.
basically a new temperature sensor and a couple watchfaces... thats it. im pretty underwhelmed to be honest
I miss that bezel though. I'm on a watch 3 and I love it so much
@@matthewrowley1514 Yeah why did that go unmentioned? I feel like that's a huge deal. I'm also on Watch 3. Will probably upgrade to the 4 when I'm ready and just stay there. That bezel was one of their best ideas ever
I love that they have group challenges where I can challenge my folks to see who burned more calories lol
Not much and software changed will Come your watch 4 too. Bit better battery and temp sensor but you lose the bezel
From my 11promax bought dec.2019 to this flip 4 🎉
yes i just Got mine 🤗 work hard people,then reward yourself ❤ GodBlessyou all 😇
Great quality video Marques!
I'm glad Samsung is taking its time to refine its products. They've really come a long way since the initial launch of the Fold which wasn't very good at that time and was seen as more of a prototype. Pretty nice to see them improving the quality of their products.
👇👇 congratulations💓 you are among our shortlisted winner claim your pc📥📥...
What're you talking about? I have one, been running it for 5 years now, its the best. Will upgrade to the fold 5 though. :D
The Fold has come such a long way in the last couple of years since it was first released. Super keen to see the improvements in the years ahead!
Nah, this is really boring. I own the Z Fold 3. I just want a normal size front screen
@@cooliipie Me too. I'll pass on this model. Pity Huawei isn't allowed to have Goofle Play - it's such a better phone than the Fold 3 - proper size front screen.
@@cooliipie yeah, the Vivo X Fold already does that... Was expecting more from this Fold 4
@@cooliipie To each their own I guess. A little incremental improvement isn't too bad, and as someone who's never had a folding phone before, I'm looking forward to it, that is if I can get my hands on it in the future. 😃
@@arcynull
Sure. But I'm coming from the perspective of typing on one to make this comment
Always informed and enjoyable viewing. Go MKHD.
I still have the galaxy watch (1), still works pretty good. Battery hasn't take a hit. Display is always on, it's my everyday watch. Also use it for workouts (mountain bike, gym workouts & running). I thought it was going to last me 2 years at best with the amount of stress I put into it. Still strong. But these 5's look pretty awesome, might get one of those once I see your review.
As someone looking to upgrade from the staleness of the iPhone, the flip looks like a super interesting option. The portability of the device and just it’s uniqueness compared to other phone experiences I’ve had for years makes it worth it in my eyes. Especially at the same price as any iPhone I’d be looking for.
Might have to jump ship soon :)
I’m in the same boat as you. Getting bored of the iPhone and the flip is super intriguing to me
Please jump ship so you can customize your life.
@@Sfelton99 same here! Im most likely hop on flip 4
portable? That thing is so thick that people might mistaken it as your boner if you put it in your side pocket.
I got the flip 3 a few weeks ago, absolutely worth it
These brand new foldable phones and the software optimization for these devices is making me thinking of buying my first foldable device 👏🏽👏🏽 Congrats Samsung!!!
Looking forward to hearing more about the performance of the watches. Also the run time on these new foldables
You deserve way more subs! Keep it up. I hope you're making content for years to come!
this is the most hype I've been for a phone in a long time! I'm personally waiting for the Flip 4 because the idea of a flip phone is just so cool to me
Where have u been past few years? Why skipped to 4?
Great. Let us know how that goes, yahir. 🙄
Waited in line for the 1st gen zflip and I can definitely say it's not for everyone but having this kinda style of tech really feels like we're in the future. 😎
yayyyyy we were the ones who dared to try something new. high five!
Is it actually good as a non flip?
I always get hype when I see a fold in the wild
I had the 3. It's a cool useful phone. Super portable. Especially if you buy ladies pants. The pockets are terrible.
@@Michadoo is it better than a regular phone? Or is the flip that good?
pre-ordered mine a little while back getting it this coming Tuesday with the new Watch 5 pro can't wait for it
I've hade mine for a bit over a year. Bought it on release. This is by far the best phone I've ever owned. I usually buy a new phone every 2 years because I get bored of the old one (I know it's a bit of waste but I sell the old one or give it to family). I've not even considered buying a new phone, I just love it! No issues with it so far and I love folding it up when watching RUclips and gaming. It's amazing!
Very informative! Keep it up! I love how he jumps straight into the video and doesn’t waste our time with an insanely long intro.
Do we know a date yet on when they're allowed to drop a full review? I'm really looking forward to a camera comparison and battery life comparison to the Fold 3!
This guy is so consistent and simple with his videos. I like 👍 you
Thanks for the information Mr MKBHD
That Watch Pro looks amazing as heck, this is the first time in years I've been hyped for a smartwatch of all things 😳
It looks super
Apple Watch looks better
@@OKayD3N Apple watch looks like a mini phone, it doesn't even look like a watch and dare saying it looks better than an actual round watch lmao...
@@OKayD3N android watch will can never be better than apple watch. They are years behind apple watch.
@@dustpowered android sucks low quality and terrible software. Apple is way better with everything. Enjoy your shitdroid
Samsung likes to have refresh years, where they change up a few things, update a few things, but keep the same body for the tech. This is one of those years. my fold 3 isn't going anywhere yet (until I can find the fold 5 for 999 like I did with my fold 3)
every company has refresh every year now bruh....it depends on the consumer to buy or not to buy......duhhh
Thats a nice way of saying "they recycled last year foldables so im not buying shit.".
Samsung does, Apple has had those years for the past 3 generations of iPhone
woah the horizon is a tech nerd too
How did you get a fold for $999 😭 let me knoww
I'd definitely consider getting the Z Flip 4. Looks gorgeous
Perfect review, thank you. Just started looking into Galaxy Z Flip/Fold today - I'm on iPhone XR and this thing is **not** enough workhorse for what I need to do - this review just sealed that I'd want the Fold over the Flip for work productivity sake
Same. Ready to make that move from iPhone. Got business to handle.
Great previews! Definitely interested in seeing more watch coverage 👍🏻
Apple's reign on me, being a loyal customer getting every iPhone from the first one all the way to my current 13 Pro will come to an end thanks to the Samsung Galaxy Flip 4. I have started to feel bored using an iPhone and this Flip 4 has everything I want on a phone: not distracting, compact and powerful enough. Bravo Samsung!
That battery is going to make you so mad
Flip phones are garbage 🗑
foldables are such a stupid idea. Imagine having to open your phone every time you want to use it. People complain about slow fingerprint sensors or FaceID but wasting time opening your phone is somehow considered "innovation". Dear Lord!
Good stuff Thanks Brownlee for your tech knowledge 👍🏽 😌😏
Love the smart wach reviews. Wold also love to see more of these
Definitely would love to see an in depth review on both of these smartwatches!!
Once you take advantage of the multi-window feature on the foldable phones it really takes multitasking to the next level! Definitely review that galaxy watch pro just pre-ordered mine I hear the battery life is suppose to be about 80 hours with normal use.
My preorder should be arriving this Thursday…. Cant wait
Really impressed on the look of watch 5. Definitely worth to keep an eye on. Might want to get it this christmas
The 2 major things I wanted for the flip was increased battery life and bigger back screen (2 x in size)
Fingers crossed for next year🙏🏾
@@samueladekola25 ll4g
They will definitely update that next year.
Doing both of those at the same time was impossible, as there wasn't enough room for an easy fit. They needed to make the battery bigger FIRST w/ Flip 4, and THEN see what kind of cover display they could still fit in the phone w/ the now bigger battery for the Flip 5. Doing it sequentially like that was the only way to make absolutely SURE that everything would fit.
I can't wait for the performance tests on all of these products!
Would love an in-depth review on the watches! This is helpfulness though because I'm debating on if i should upgrade my phone soon or not. I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ and haven't really had an urge for a new phone but these are definitely tempting.
would love to see a detailed watch 5 pro on your channel! as always great content! thanks!
Great to know that Samsung used Sapphire glass for their smart watches. As someone who's into watches, Sapphire glass are scratch resistant and has been used by a lot of diver's watch companies for its durability. Good move.
Hopefully the "taskbar" feature gets pushed as an update for the fold 3 🙏🏼. I love that feature!
I agree, would be brilliant
Probably won’t considering this is one of the few differences in the phones to make you wanna but it
It will be. Was confirmed by one Korean RUclipsr at their own media event for fold 4 and flip 4.
It's getting pushed out rn!
I can’t wait to see these phones in 10 years! Just imagine how good they’ll be then 😍
And how expensive.... :(
Was at a Samsung store playing with one. Looks very good. But I like to drop my phones and not feel stressed 😂. Would feel bad if I dropped this work of art.
@@marschallblucher6197No they will be cheap as technology progresses it gets cheaper.
@@rebelrevs151 not necessarily, Flagship phones seem to have goon up in price. They weren't always $999 on average.
Granted, there have been shortages in recent years due to covid but when companies increase their prices and people still buy the products they aren't usually inclined to lower them back down.
The folding phone will probably die out in 10 years
Watching this on my Z Fold 3 loving this beast!
Yea I'd definently like to see a review of the watch, and see how it stacks up with competitors, especially in the fitness department
Argggh, have Samsung removed the rotating physical bezel around the watch face? That is a DISASTER! As shown at 8:26 swipe navigation on smartwatches is excruciating. Will have to stick with my Galaxy Watch 3 :(
That`s what i was about to say. I used to have Gear S2 and definitely loved the rotating bezel.
Bezel?
You could upgrade to the Galaxy Watch 4 Classic
The rotating (capacitive touch) bezel is still there just not a physical one
@@peppythetruth It's not a rotating bezel if it isn't rotating.... head->wall. It's just a capacitive ring around the screen, which is horrible and finicky.
With a physical bezel you can control an app (say Spotify) during a workout or traffic, without having to look at the screen. With capacitive touch, you can't nearly as well. The physical bezel was the only reason to go for a Samsung watch, in my opinion.
Great update video on these new Samsung phones/watches. Like hearing your impressions of last year vs this year. Continual Improvement by Samsung is appreciated. Prices still apple high tho. Would like your impressions on watches as well.
Including how the ecosystems are looking. Apple, Samsung, Google, Stock Android (non google or mixed devices)
Yes more smart watche reviews, you explain so well, i really like your content
Very interested in knowing more about the Watch 5 Pro. Also, since they’ve only made some refinement, which is exactly what I thought when watching the event, I am gonna wait for Galaxy Z5 series, expecting much more refinement, improvements and a very noticeable design change.
Marques, i 've following you for a long time now and incredibly you've maintained a top level in what you do. Frankly, i and many other phone users here in Africa look forward to phones with bigger and durable batteries. West Africa has not overcome its power problem. The current escalation in fuel prices has just made matters worst. Flagships are very very expensive especially for those of us living in third world countries.we were happy with Nokia because of battery and durability. Samsung shouid do more on the battery aspect.
Looks like I'm keeping my Fold3 and upgrading the watch3 -> watch5 from what I'm seeing, so count me as interested in the watch review, Mr. Brownlee!
I hope that new in apps comes to the Fold 3. It looks really cool for quickly multitasking.
Oooh, this has me looking forward to the Fold 4! I have the Fold 3 and absolutely love it. I was also impressed at its durability after my phone was left unfolded on an electric burner that was turned on, cooking the entire front, taking off the cameras and cracking and burning through the front screen. After it cooled off, I turned it on for poops and giggles, and it came on and worked like nothing happened. I was able to use the interior display with no cracking, lagging, or loss of pixels or performance. That sold me right there and luckily, thanks to insurance, I am enjoying an intact 3 until it's time to upgrade to the 4. Never going back to standard phones again.
how's the battery performance?
@@zuhairazreekarim9397 It's noticeable that it burns through battery faster than normal phones do (especially if - like me - you use the inner screen a lot) but the battery is still definitely big enough that it's higher power consumption doesn't become an issue.
I fairly consistently end my days at about 15% charge - so it does get low - but I've never had it die on me. At long as you charge your phone every night, you should be totally fine.
@@zuhairazreekarim9397 I travel a lot for work, so if it is a longer flight, but I am too lazy to grab my batter pack, I keep it closed and use only the front screen. That actually stretches the battery life out quite a lot (from 100%, I was on it for most of the day either reading a book or on social media and it lasted until later in the evening). During normal days, I like to have the screen open, watch videos, read books, and play my games on the highest image quality, and have 3 or 4 windows open at a time. That burns through the battery faster, but it is a fair trade for the crispy, large display, smooth gameplay and enjoyment. It spoils you and has random people around you ask about it, because it is so different from any other phone in the US market.
Definitely looking forward to seeing what the galaxy watch can bring to the table and how their watch OS works. I’m also verge scores for when the fold finally has an integrated S Pen in it. THAT should be the dream for Note Fans
Definitely that why I didn’t switch from my I
Ultra yet. Now I am !
I have the Watch 4 which is very similar just with a weaker battery. It's brilliant, very snapping and has amazing health metrics. Only thing is I charge mine daily which is a pain
oh boi you're so damn right
I'm sure the OS will be just like watch 4. Probably no big changes until Wear OS gets a refresh.
Totally want to see a Galaxy Watch 5 Pro review. Particularly interested in battery life. A lot of people complain about the 4's battery life, but it's only bad in comparison to a Garmin...
Thank you for pointing out the changes from the previous gen to this new gen. Might skip two more years to buy a new one.
Would definitely love to see a review of the watches (incl. Whether the LTE versions use up their batteries as badly as the last generation)
I'm super excited to see what Samsung does next with the fold. They're in control of the flip phone market which doesn't put a lot of pressure on them to make new things but I'm still super impressed with what they have already. It's far from perfect but still accomplishes something cool
Hey MB, Thanks for the information, very much interested in watch series
Looking forward to the review of all the Samsung new products: the folding phones and the watches. But I'm also looking forward to the review of the Galaxy Buds2 Pro 🤞🏾
Thanks for the update! I would love to see some smart watch reviews from you, especially looking at the big names and even some of the lesser known names like Amazfit. In the case of Samsung, I'm searching to understand how the features vary between the pro and non-pro watches besides battery size. I'd rather save the money if they both do the same thing.
I've researched the fold more than any other phone ever and I still have a hard time upgrading to it despite desperately wanting one. The ultra phones are better because they have a built-in spen, bigger battery, 45w charging, and better cameras. If you can get past that the fold doesn't have a dust rating, I don't think its water protection claims hold up long term and the screen protectors start to peel around 8 months in on the last version. Still, the utility of both phones is amazing with the fold slightly beating the ultra in that department.
The s pen thing I fixed by sticking a ringke band to my phone works decent enough but yeah I would rather have it in the fold it self
If it helps any, I purchased the Fold 3 as an upgrade to my Note 9. I was concerned with the smaller outer screen at first but I honestly use it a ton. Plus, I really like how easy it is to hold the whole thing in my hand and it makes texting with Swype so much easier to reach all the buttons. I don't have very small hands but they're certainly not as large as some people who are taller than me. And with my Note 9 I had to dock my keyboard to one side and minimize its size just so that I could reach all the buttons.
I only use the inner screen for entertainment and when I need to use multiple screens to get stuff done. Additionally, I hybridized a case so that I can carry my Spen, have a kickstand and have a card slot for ID and MetroCard. And honestly, it's become the best thing ever. Especially when coupled with a Bluetooth folding keyboard. I also added a button remapper app that allows me to set short keys for some touch functions. Now I can easily go from typing on the front screen to typing and using short keys on the inner screen. Some days I honestly forget that I have a Tab S7+ and can use a bigger screen. I carry a small portable charger that I can pop in in the late afternoon, or early evening if needed.
I still wish the front screen supported the Spen though. I think once it does then maybe Samsung will decide to add the spen into the phone. Still, I actually use the Samsung Notes app more now with the Fold 3 than I did with the Note 9 due to comfort and space. As wide as my Note 9 was, it still always felt a bit cramped and more so with a thin stylus.
I've also accidentally dropped my Fold 3 in my shower once and it was thankfully just fine. I just had to wait to make sure the ports dried out in order to charge it again. It has been sprayed, dripped, touched with wet fingers, or rained on a bit and still manages to deal with the humidity of my hot showers. It's been fine so far.
I'm not a big photography person for portraits, mostly stills of scenery or data, but photos have been okay with this phone. I don't like that the camera seems to only focus on the center of the images and leaves the edges slightly blurred when taking regular photos. I find it annoying when taking photos of documents or when I need the full frame in focus. I find that I still like my Note 9 camera better as everything in the shot is in focus. I haven't noticed if there's been an update to the camera since I first noticed it back in December 2021, I think I just decided not to care as much then.
I hope this helps add to your research if you're still considering the Z Fold 4.
Edit: I also purchased my phone as a bundle with the Watch Classic 46mm and Buds 2 in November 2021 for $1399. The deal was so good I jumped on it even if I already had a pair of buds (the new ones made great gift) and the watch was bigger than I wanted. But it looks great on my small wrist and the screen size is wonderful so I think I was pretty lucky that I didn't have a choice. It might be worth considering to wait for the price drops near Black Friday if you don't want to trade in a phone for a discount.
@@jahayrac8636 Well written
For me, I've been using an LG V60 with its dualscreen so I think I'm stuck to upgrading to a Fold whenever mine goes kaput to not feel any downgrade in usability.
After you have this kind of freedom of screen real estate man, it's hard to go back.
S21 ultra is definitely more rugged, but if you want ultimate productivity, get the Fold. What phone are you currently using?
I was watching the first fold review before coming here, the phone and its innovations have come a long way
I would really love to see the watch review. Although I am really truly disappointed that the rotating bezel is gone. It was one of the best features of the watch and I loved it as a way to navigate the menus. It will be missed I hope they bring it back!
As a Galaxy Gear S3 user (a watch that came out in 2014), I’d appreciate a review of the new watches; love your videos, btw.
I feel like Samsung is going with the Apple route for their foldables. Rather than adding a ton of new features, they just refine concepts and make the phone seem more reliable to ensure that consumers may want to switch.
For the moment, that approach makes sense. If they add huge changes instead of refining what's already there then they're shooting themselves in the foot.
@@Jaeeden shooting themselves in the hand
Which I am not mad about.
What are consumers gonna do? Buy competitor folables?😂😂😂
Why is that an Apple route? Rofl refinement is something all companies do. And what new "groundbreaking" features do u want in those foldable phones.
I was a huge note fan boy and kept the note 20 ultra when it came out. I recently bought the fold 4 and am happy with the upgrade. I love the screen re-estate since I use it as a work tablet.
Damn. Super excited for the Fold 4. Really interested in the Watch 5 Pro...but I wish Samsung still used or would at least do a throw back original Gear S version. I still use the Gear S. I love the 2 inch screen & how it curves around my wrist. People still compliment me on my watch.
Definitely want to hear your full take on the watches this year in a review!
Been on the edge of wanting a Flip 3 for the past couple months even though I have a Pixel 6 Pro. Tired of the same ol' same ol' phones so this new Flip 4 is very tempting.
Curious to hear your full Watch 5 pro impressions. Mine made it ~69 hours after the first full charge up, with moderate usage. Considering my watch 4 was making it maybe 24 hours, I was blown away
I'm really looking forward to your watch reviews. I think now is the time for me to enter the start watch market. If it is intuitive as the Apple watch, it will be a no brainer.
