No
no because of the Mac also. If Microsoft integrates Universal Clipboard implementation between Android and Windows, it can works
No. Because Samsung can’t make their own custom microarchitecture, API, OS etc.
Portland, JAMAICA in the Building!!!!!!!
Outstanding videoquality! Watched on my oled tv 🤯.
Ive gone from iPhone to Fold, and I love my fold. Yes, the ecosystem was better with my Mac and iPhone, but I get more out of my fold and don't have to take out the laptop all the time anymore because of the larger screen on Fold.
Get i Microsoft surface pro is way better more freedom for everything 😍😎
@@henrylove4916 Microsoft apps suck otherwise yes the surface pro is decent.
@@henrylove4916 Well, have to see when it arrives later this week.
@@MzDoctorStrange2u surface devices don't use apps tho lol
Like you I went from an iPhone to a fold 4 but the phone gets so damn hot even with power saving mode and using the simplest of tasks, not a good sign when my skin gets a burn spot from the heat when all I'm doing is listening to fucking Spotify music.
I've had my Z Fold 4 for 4 days. I'm completely in love with it! I got a 512 GB model with the pen and a pen case for $1500 after trading in a cracked Note 9. I find myself using the cover screen alot too. However, I see that as a positive instead of a negative. To me, that means that the cover screen is really good. Though, when I watch videos or read social/news articles, I use the large screen.
Same boat as you except a non cracked note 8. I am super sad the s pen doesn't work on the cover screen though
Z fold 4 front cover is basically a tall Iphone mini.
$1500 for a foldable phone. LMAO
@@disco.lemonade The 512GB iPhone 14 Pro Max is $1399, and it doesn't come with a pen or a case or a large screen.
@@k4everut Yes, and that screen ain't gonna be shit because it's foldable in a few months. Not to speak of the general reliability Apple offers. $1399 for a phone that will outlast that POS Samsung by several years. And you know it.
Coming from Fold 3, I agree about the S Pen. It should be built in and work on the cover screen as well. I am never going back to boring, limited, two hand operated iOS, despite using a Mac. If Samsung and Google will figure out calling and messaging app for the Mac a lot of people will say goodbye to Apple.
i don't think Samsung will make a replacement for i messenger they did try with chat on back in 2011 but failed
@@lesleyhaan116 They’re talking about something different for their messaging coming out in 2023. I believe it has to do with satellites for their messaging.
Samsung already has great integration with Windows and ChromeOS. So if you’re an iPhone user without a Mac, like most are, that additional integration can be a really tempting reason to switch.
@Mister925 you have to agree with me
That every service Samsung made in the last 12 years failed services like
Samsung music hub Samsung milk music Samsung ChatOn they all failed
But Apple on the other hand is doing pretty good with the App Store and Apple Music and Apple TV+
If you have a windows PC, Samsung's integration let's you read/reply and make/answer ALL calls and messages.
I'm absolutely loving the Fold 4!
Kind of funny how you complained about having to carry an S pen around and said that you finally just left it at home, but had no problem dragging a IPad around.
I do agree that Samsung should find a way to include built in storage of the S pen like the S22 Ultra, but there are a few cases which store the S pen on the right edge of the case, that really isn't inconvenient.
Great review overall! Thanks for your view! This phone is certainly not for everyone.
SPen > iPad
S pen can't be stored because the halves of the phone are too thin. While overall it's thick, the halves really arent
Typical applr fan boy move.
You comparing a phone with a tablet..
One are place in our pocket, and the other are in our bags..
Now guess, which are more annoying with the pen attached..
@@ican85 The attached s-pen is not annoying at all on a pocket.
Got mine on release day and love it!!! I wear glasses so the size really helps me to enjoy content without wearing them. I still love Apple for so many reasons and will never leave Apple. I just have a second line dedicated to my Fold 4. Apple needs to innovative 💡.
Same, got the fold 4 after using Iphone 12 pro max. I like apple but foldables are really the future and its so nice to have as a multimedia powerhouse.
I might also get the 14 pro max as a secondary device as well.
same, I will never use another phone besides the iPhone for my primary device, but if money was no issue, I’d buy this Fold just to have a tablet in my pocket at all times lol
Why dont you get laser eye surgery. Its less than the price of a base iphone..
@@iCozzh you’re saying the $1,800 (base price) Fold is less than the base price of an iPhone? Am I missing something or were you talking to someone else lol.. if you’re talking about with trade ins that’s not the base price and every phone is less with a trade in…
@@thekoreanjesus6202 I like it also but that crease across the screen, while getting better, still annoys me, along with the app support, although that seems to be getting better also… I’m curious to see reports 6-8 months from now because with the old models they even said that there’s a certain number of times the screen will fold without wearing out, hopefully that will get better over time and I think that may be why Apple hasn’t done it yet
I love the fold 4 it's fantastic definitely an improvement over the fold 3 I also have the 13 pro max and will not be upgrading to the 14 pro max as I don't see myself going back to a candy bar smartphone in the foreseeable future samsung nailed it with this one
I'm with ya!
A lot of these comments have to be bots. I see these same paragraphs on every single Fold 4 video I see 🤣🤣
@@Lyons_T-BAG 😂
@@Lyons_T-BAG It maybe true tho. iPhones are boring af.
Agreed! I have a iphone SE as a work phone but love my fold 4
I bought a Fold3 roughly 1 month after it launched and I'll tell you I use the large screen roughly 40% of the time. The thing is a content consumption BEAST. I was happy with it from the day I took it home and still damn near smile every time I unfold it. I could never go back to a slab style phone and to me the price tag was 100% worth it. I will be upgrading when the Fold5 is released because to me the Fold4 is honestly much of the same and they need to include 45W charging as well. That's probably my biggest gripe about this phone is the amount of time it takes to charge it. Anyways if anyone is on the fence GO FOR IT. I work construction and this phone has held up GREAT. Just get yourself a Spigen case to protect the spine and you're good to go.
Bestbuy is doing 1500 off with a trade in....might be worth it
@@adrianperez4300 honestly at that trade-in price, definitly worth it.
@@bizkurt99 ya...thinking about turning in my s22 ultra since I'm not a huge fan of it anyway..that's a great deal and worth more than my phone anyway
@@adrianperez4300 congrulations to your new phone then 😄👍🏻
As someone who has a ton of Samsung products along with Apple products, I think they deserve a lot of credit for their ecosystem. By using Phone Link you can basically use all of the apps on any up to date Windows computer, easily transfer files between the Samsung phone and computer, and transfer calls as well. You can do the same on a Chromebook to my knowledge. This means that you can potentially spend less than the cost of a MacBook Air and get both a good computer and phone which work very well with each other. Smart Tags are basically the equivalent to Air Tags.
Also for light users, the Fold 4 can functionally replace a laptop when home. Dex can connect to a monitor and a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse. A cheap USB C dock can power the entire setup while allowing the phone to charge. This means that for a ton of people, the Fold 4 can be their phone, tablet, AND computer.
Finally, Samsung listed prices usually drastically drop a few months after launch. Even though it has a high price tag right now, I wouldn’t be surprised if it gets down to $1500 by November (still high, but not nearly as bad).
Yeah but remember not keeping value sucks at the same time. Apple can sell for much higher a year later as Samsung drops 50% a year later. Apple is like Toyota Tacomas the used prices are insane
@@chy.0190 strange usually trade in isn’t as good as street prices. At least Samsung has deals and sales like get free earbuds and shit. Apples a bunch of screw artists always the same price no deals kinda like Nintendo games
@@Zog_Bogbean samsung trade program is insane. Which is why laugh at Apple people constant talk of resale value. It's simply preying on young people who feel they need to have a blue bubble so they will pay the lowest offered price go get into the club. I traded my s20+ 128gb for the S22 ultra 256 gb, galaxy watch 4 classic, and a case for the price of $700.
I'm getting my Fold 4 tomorrow! Very exited, have never tried out a foldable before!
I'm coming from a Note 20 Ultra wich has been amazing, but I think this is the next step for me for sure!
Galaxy tag, Samsung dex, galaxy buds 2 pro, galaxy watch, Samsung m8 Smart monitor IOT, Quickshare, tab S8 Ultra, Samsung tv plus, Samsung tvs, Samsung Ecosystem is so refined to me like what more could you want. It's just as good as Apple Ecosystem. This dude is so biased towards Samsung
@@QcK0101 It’s getting very good. I was surprised how much they improved since I had the Note 10+. In certain areas it is even superior to Apple‘s ecosystem and I was shocked by it. Actually thinking of switching again because of these improvements
I think it’s a really cool hybrid between a phone and a tablet. I use my camera only 5% of the time and I’m still happy to have it. After 7 years I just upgraded my iPad but I will see how things evolve. Maybe in 5 years I’m going to try some foldable even when it’s not apple
Next week after iPhone 14 release: (Sorry Samsung)
it's gonna be the same shit (Sorry apple)
lol bye apple juice
Thé end IS near for apple
They don't feel sorry for anybody other than Apple. Rather they would instantly write RIP for the the competition.
🤣😂🤣😂
Loving mine. 2 weeks in. Im always using the phone unfolded. I only use the front for messaging and banking apps.
Samsung is God tier 🙌
I did the same; went from the apple ecosystem - iphone 12 PM, apple watch 6 and airpod pros to the 512gb Fold4, the buds2 pro and the watch 5 pro. Loving how well they work in sync, not to mention the quality of all of them. ❤️
Im thinking about doing the same thing because I have the 12PM, series 6 watch and AirPods. Definitely worth the switch to the Fold4?
@@slams10 Made the same switch and DEFINITELY worth it. iOS just feels so limiting. Even with their lockscreen/homescreen widgets, they're really limited in terms of what they can do and how much you can customise them. Android is just so much better for customisation and the beauty of the Fold 4 takes it over the top IMO
@@slams10 It's definitely worth the switch. I haven't been on the samsung side since the S7 Edge and Samsung phones have come along way since then. I always had pairing/connecting/setting up issues with third party apps/devices when I was with Apple but everything's been smooth now that I've switch. The Android ecosystem has been seamless for me personally and the Fold4 itself is unreal. I don't think I could go back to a candy bar style of phone to be honest.
Got a 12 pro max and on my second Fold 4 after the first one had warranty issues. Both of the Folds ive used aren't louder and don't sound better. But overall super impressed and would definitely recommend getting one if you want to switch from iPhone.
i would somewhat agree but the price difference is nuts pretty much not comparable
Great review! I am coming from a note 20 ultra that had about 1tb of memory with my micro sd card. There were 3 things that had me on the fence. I needed 1 TB. I loved the camera with the 50 x zoom. I've had every note except the first and 7th.
So when I saw the 1tb option at 9 am of the pre-order launch and I could get $900 trade in value. I jumped on board!! I got the watch 5 pro also. I put my $300 credit towards the watch. With the discounted price for the pre-sale I believe I got the watch for about $75. What a steal(deal) lol. I don't miss the zoom yet. The 30 x zoom is pretty good on the fold. I use Samsung notes for my work as a contractor. I actually loveeeee the bigger spen. It is so much easier to hold and work with. I got a Supcase, where the pen is stored inside hinge protector. It is awesome,!!! It seems like a very protective case. The only thing I worry about is dropping it and how much of a hit the screens will take. The case is much better than the Samsung case for protection and it is much easier to grip and hold this beast of a phone. So far I have no complaints!!! Everything has exceeded my expectations. I agree with you, the front screen is great. It is actually easier to work with one hand than the note because it is narrower. They could go even a touch wider to give a even more usable front screen and the large screen would be even more square. When you are playing your game, have you tried turning the phone on its side, then the screen is wider and doesn't cut off as much. Plusssss with this Supcase, the hinge protector is a perfect spot for you to rest your 2 middle fingers to help support this beast in your hands,, lol. I believe Samsung knocked it out of the park with the fold 4 and watch 5 pro. Just one thing,,, would they please get approval in the USA for the BP monitor. Come on already!! That is my only negative so far!!
I work a lot outside too - are both screens easy to see on sunny days? What is a
BP monitor?
@@jimcochran1201 samsung says the nits which is the brightness score. Both screens had 422 nits on fold 3 buttttt the fold 4 is supposed to have 1000 nits on both screens.,, it is awesome!!
BP is blood pressure monitor. For some reason samsung cannot get fda approval for this in us. So if you are in US you will not have this feature yet, but i really hope it's coming. I don't understand when there are other similar products that have BP monitoring in us now. Come on samsung!!! Make this happen
@@pianomans1 Thanks Mike - great info!!!!!
So far I am liking the fold 4, you are right about using the outer display more after a week. I use the inner display a few times a day to multitask on social media and gaming mostly. Great phone for multitaskers.
Thank you for your review! Very helpful.
Great video! I love my Galaxy Z Fold 4 so much and I think there are a lot of improvements compared to the Z Fold 3. Would love to see a build in Spen too.
I really like the idea of a phone that can turn into a mini tablet. Apple is crazy if they ignore this product line. One thing that’s always true, people always want bigger screens. This is the first Android phone that tempts me to switch from iOS.
Samsung wouldnt be able to make enough screens for the amount of folds apple would end up selling.
Also just buy a base iphone and then an ipad equalling to $1500. People who buy these phones are moronic
@@iCozzh That's just a dumb way of saying it. So instead of having both a smartphone and a mini tablet in one device that you also can put into your pocket, then it's better according to you to have one separate smartphone that you can put into your pocket and then have another tablet that you have to use a bag to travel around with?
Having both in one device is waaaaaaaay way better over having 2 devices to carry around with. Also one less device to charge.
And even though you like it or not, but a folding device like the Z Fold are the future.
@@iCozzh Having a dedicated tablet and a phone is definitely great. But on the go, I find my Fold4 to be much more useful than lugging around my iPad Pro and S22 Ultra together.
@@ManzaEN you physically do not need a phone that big. You just want one. Thats okay. Im arguing its not needed and no one should feel obligated to test prototypes for samsung for the 4th year running when you can buy a solid iphone/android for 800$ and similar money for an ipad/tablet.
I've had the fold 4 for about a month now and paired with the beeper app I can imessage as well as have all my social media apps in one location. Huge upgrade at a great discount from trading in my iPhone 12.
I switched from 12 Pro max to fold 4 and love it, I can still use imessage with Air Message super easy to set up just use imac as the imessage server
Great video, keeping my fold 3 for now.
I traded in my 12 pro for the fold 4 and have been loving this phone. I find that Apples design is getting boring. Pretty much from an 11 to now there are only slight differences with the phones. Plus the Samsung ecosystem I would say is pretty close to Apples. Like someone mentioned you probably already have a lot of their products in your home which makes the system more streamline. They just need a Homepod competitor to compete in that arena
Does the camera on the fold zoom very far?
@@Valiant_Phantom_ 30x, which is cool, but I don't really go past the 20x. I knew not to expect the moonshots that the ultra can do, but I was hoping for more. Still a great camera though
I think it is great for people who are using a lot of productivity apps on the go.
It's better to carry one phone which you can slide into a pocket instead of using one phone and additional tablet for the largest screen.
Also the s pen is extremely good for productivity use.
When the phone is folded in your pocket, is there a noticeable difference in weight and thickness as compared to a candy bar sized phone?
Good lock customization makes this phone more valuable
That phone is great. I got the flip 4 and by far is my favorite phone but I'm thinking about getting the Fold 4 for work and traveling.
Great choice 👌 👍 never buy a apple products 😎
I'm really happy with my fold 4. It's the ultimate gadget for my gaming needs plus productivity.
You still have the dial selection on the new smart watch, it’s the reason for the inner concave. Just slide your finger around it. Nice video!
I really enjoyed your review. Your most unbiased review when comparing anything to an apple product. I have a fold 4 and enjoying it.
I'm an S22 ultra user, and I think that for me the technology needs to advance more, for me to buy a fold. I think the fold is a great device if its your only device. But for someone with multiple devices that still work, you don't need that two in one functionality. As for technology, I want higher resolution on those screens, as per my S22 ultra. And for the crease to disappear. An S pen in the phone itself? Why not!
Cuz u broke? 🫠
I paired my file to the quiet comfort 2 earpods. Amazing!!
I'm pretty happy with my fold 4. I use the inner screen 70% of the time and downside would be the battery life. If the cover screen could been a little wider that'd be fantastic. But I love the firm feel in hand. The camera is okay I guess, my note 20 ultra feels better in photo details when zoomed in. Guess fold 5 would fix this as so many Chinese foldables are better in hardware and stuff.
I'd agree with that. Would love that cover screen to be wider but my goodness is it a beauty of a device or what?!?
I'm getting the Z Fold 4 & was wondering what your advice on the best case for this phone is. Thank you for your video review of this phone. It answered a lot of my questions
Thank you for an honest review
Samsung ecosystem is AMAZING. I have the Tab S7+, Galaxy Watch 4, Buds pro and A51 phone, SmartTags and a Samsung TV. They work together very well for synced notifications, alarms, notes, reminders; The Buds switch automatically between devices whenever you play content, there's app continuity between phone and tablet for Notes and Samsung Browser, Universal clipboard, Multi control and Second Screen between Tab and Galaxy book, quickshare, synced Gallery, using others devices to make calls with the sim card in another device (I make, answer and decline calls from my tablet), casting content to the TV is super easy and you can get notifications on the TV as well, native Universal Passwords using Samsung Pass, if one device connects to a WiFi network other devices will also connect automatically (e.g your Watch will connect to whatever network you have saved on your phone), etc.
Trade-in my iphone 13 pro for the Z folder 4 and so far loving it. Love the big screen when I need it and now I don't need to bring and ipad and a phone that often.
Agree
I'm writing this on my Z Fold4. Three days in im really enjoying it, and I'm an iphone user since 2008. I tried a Galaxy S3 through frustration at Apple's tiny screens but quickly went back ri the iPhone 5. I've had a new iPhone every year since the 3G, except the most S year of all when I skipped the XS. I'm totally bored of ihe Phone and iOS. Last year after having the 11 Pro Max and then 12 pro Max I went 13 mini as the Max still isn't usefully big enough. Thus year I'm so unexciting by the 14 rumours that I decided to ditch my 14 Pro plan and go Z Fold4. Next I'll ditch my M1 iPad Pro 12.9" as my iPad mini 6 is better in most ways and ipadOS 16 is a joke. I'm not leaving the Mac any time soon, but Apple really needs to unleash the iPad and start innovating with the iPhone as they are stagnant and boring right now..
I am using the fold 3, when I need a bigger screen, it helps a lot. But I also like my note series, they took better pictures than Fold3.
Love my Fold 4!! ( and just enough better than Fold 3 to be more addicted to it) Love the new watch too. Also use Apple and will get new 14 Pro Max bc time to upgrade iPhone. But I've used two phones for years and now I'm so conficted as to which should be my primary. The Gold Fold just rocks!!! And yes I use my inner display like 80% of the time.
Thanks for the video bro! I miss your motorcycle videos as well, when ever you get the chance let us know if you still have uou Yamaha
Totally enjoying the Fold 4, coming from Fold 2 this is sure an upgrade. You're having a phone, tablet and PC in one device with smart engineering. Apple is a lazy company who only removes stuff giving customers less!
I am very happy with the fold 4, but I am also carrying an iPhone 13 pro max as a secondary phone due to apples eco system unfortunately. Otherwise, fold 4 is it! It's a great experience.
Same 💎
Why unfortunately? If ecosystem makes you feel like you can’t go without I’d say that it’s so good that you can’t go without
I am getting the Beige galaxy fold 4 on Saturday. I am falling in love with Samsung. Thanks for the review.
congrats for 1 m subs
Question is, how long will the screen hold up?
Months? I'm not going to give up my 7t pro McLaren.
It’s the crease in the screen for me 😂
I traded my 13 Pro Max and Note 9 in for the Fold 4, so the price was not so brutal in my case. I love the Fold 4. Cameras are ok, but im not huge into photography so easy to live with. Battery life is good not great, but thats coming from the 13 Pro Max which had outstanding battery life. Over all, i dont think ill go back to a candy bar style phone again as long as they keep making foldables as well as improving them!
i like the fold and the dex features. I have been on android for most of the last 10 years but recently moved over to a iphone mini for the size. i think i prefer to have a ipad mini plus the iphone mini. that way i can use the ipad stuff when needed and dont need to carry a huge unit all the time. also the battery life and seperate LTE data gives you more options.
I have been using the fold for 2 weeks now, am obsessed!!! ❤️🌺
Very solid review... almost mirrors my opinion. The Fold 4 is my primary phone but keep an iPhone 13 Pro Max for certain occasions. 🍻 Cheers!
Thanks for the review man! Always great content
I see you with the Hillsong United video 👀👀
Haha yeah I noticed that too. It’s the live performance of oceans from 2008. I was curious what specific song it was and I just found it!
Because I want to stick with Android and Samsung, I found this super helpful. I have the Galaxy S21 series and was wondering what's up with the fold 4. I bought the Buds2 several months ago and have been unhappy with them. They tend to pop out of my ears and the left side has been statically for a while.
I had the 4 fold for like a month. I love it lol only thing i wish is that the s pen was included in the phone itself.
I am thinking about switching from apple to this but I am in an apple ecosystem basically but don’t really use the accessories. What are your thoughts?
Still rocking my z fold 2. Almost done paying off this 2000 dollar beast .. TMobile has decent trade in but Samsung has better . By Feb should be done. But then might as well wait for the F5 with hopefully a built in s pen . I'll still probably get 800 trade in with Samsung...but yea I'm good for now and that not a knock but a plus on these foldables.. but I can't lie that beige color really really got me thinking should I make the switch once I'm done paying, temptation is a mother lol
All these amazing reviews making me to buy the fold 4 😩
i had fold4 about 1weeek now and i love it
Iphone DieHard user here, I LOVE the FOLD4 and I prefer than carrying around a clunky iPAD, the ZFold experience is just WOW. The trade in brings the phone to cost 800.00, it came with Case and AirBuds and Pen, fantastic SamSung OFFER !!!!
I Traded in my note 20 ultra for the beige fold 4 and im completely in ❤️ even a month Later. It was my birthday on the 28th of September and my amazing partner bought me the new Watch 5 so I gave my mum the watch 4 that I had. I feel so teched up 🤣 with the fold 4, buds pro 2 and the watch 5. Never been so excited to receive a new phone etc.
I might be a weird, but I'm actually using both for different purposes, one as my main phone (Iphone) and the z fold 4 as a replacement for a tablet or even laptop, I don't like tablets like Ipads since they still are too limited compared to a laptop, but with the z fold, is the right size and it really could replace either a tablet or laptop, and also is a phone if I needed.
I was stuck on the z fold 3 for few months till I traded it in for an iPhone 13 pro max, you’ll be back forsure, the battery is just way better, I lacked being on the z fold 3 next to a plug and it was annoying
Couldn’t you play Call of Duty on the wide angle front screen?
Great fair review. I also moved from 13 pro max and I love the fold 4 . I just dislike the watch and prefer Garmin . Other than quite happy .
you can wait for the tab s9 the sd8gen2 will also be made by tsmc and more power efficient you'll save 1000 quid and battery will be even better
I don't want this phone to be too bulky, should I use a case or not?
Good review, I was considering but am now convinced I will not open enough to justify buying.
Literally thought the same buying the first Fold 2yrs ago. Couldn't have been more wrong. You will absolutely love using this thing and the extra real estate.. Absolute beast!
I've seen one in the wild and I was impressed. The price is still stopping me to get one!
Keeping the pen external may facilitate better sonics, battery life, or such, which is much more preferable.
Not if you actually use the spen.
I find that I'm really self conscious about using my fold because it does look different and is so expensive. I was in a slightly dodgy looking pub and I was worried about pulling out my phone for fear of being mugged. The beauty of a high end slab phone is that it looks like a budget slab phone and you're less of a target for crime. Even away from crime, I do feel a bit of a show off flaunting my expensive folding phone!
Just keep it folded and use the cover screen
With the price I kind of wonder if samsung was also expecting to lower it some, but with inflation they were forced to keep it the same. I guess we'll see soon enough with the iPhone 14, but I kind of expected all tech to get more expensive this year just like the PS5 outside of the US.
Samsung hugely discounts their phones and tablets a few months after launch, and in the U.S., they give a ton of money for trade ins. The listed price of Samsung phones is generally not what people actually pay
I have the fold 4 and the S21 Ultra. I Disagree with your view on the camera. The fold 4 takes great pictures but it is not as good as an S21 Ultra or S22 Ultra. It struggles in up close photos when you are trying to take a picture of a serial number from 2 inches away, you have to use the 3x zoom and back up. The Ultra has a built-in macro that switches automatically without any issues. There are some other things with the camera too, that is the one that I notice the most. There is also a weakness with the zoom feature, the fold 4 and the IPhone 14 pro Max share that. I have been in the cellular sales for several years as a disclaimer.
My concern with this phone is finding a car mount and fragile it looks.
Good news, get "samsung care+" it makes folding screen repairs only $29 or $49, depending on if you get the flip or fold. Really good deal, in my opinion. That is more than enough to make someone change. Also, the hinge is more than strong enough to make car mounts fit properly, and there are more than enough car mounts to fit a Z fold 4
Flossy Carter helps you with that.
I loved the z fold 3 i curently own a galaxy note 10 ultra, and was on the fence about buying it even tought the cameras werent that great and then i saw the reports of cracked inside screens and i holded off on buying it, but then i saw the new Z fold 4 and its new upgrades and again i was tempted but the only thing that holds me from pulling the trigger is the inside screen, i have seen a lot of reviews that talk about the new hinge and the new outer display but none talks about what samsung has done to reinforce the inside diaplay
So far...best phone I've ever had and I run in both ecosystems.
I have the fold 3 since Jan 2023 and I'm still loving that. But am considering upgrading to the 4 or 5 whenever possible.
Once the price drops, I’m trading in my fold 3. Even with the trade in, it was too much at the moment.
Hopefully Bestbuy will do the sam like they did with last year's Fold 3 and sell them for $1k without trade in.
Working at at&t it won't drop cause the fold 3 is basically still the same price as the fold 4
I have been using the galaxy watch 5 pro for over a week and this thing sucks at Samsung Pay. The NFC is noticeably weaker than my 4 year old apple watch. I always have to get the entire watch face flat againt the card reader at the exact right spot for it to work. Never had to do that with my apple watch. And for the last couple of days the galaxy watch completely stopped working with Samsung Pay, now when I launch Samsung Pay , it just says Please stay Connected to the phone even though the watch is already to the phone.
Is good to see samsung improve the fold phone every year. I am curious to know what the future of fold phone will be like.
But why show the gear hinge? They don't use gears anymore...? 🤔🤔🤔🤔
Waiting for the iphone 14 to come out and the “sorry samsung” version of this video lol
Till this day I still own my iPhone 2G. I just switched from my iPhone 12 pro max to the zfold 4. And I love this phone. I used to carry around my iPhone and my iPad to get both experiences and this phone does it all and the best thing about it is that it uses a usb c so that's only cable. If apple would of had ubc support on the iPhone 14 I probably would have stayed because that purple is very attractive but I am happy with my lavender fold 4 512gb. Super beast I'd say.
i got a 1000 discount off my fold 4 1tb model so 1230 in total a bargain.
I love my fold 4 the buds pro 2 and watch 5!!
Samsung watch 5 pro has the inner ring. Swipe around it and you have the rotation. Just not mechanical. Good review.
Which watch is that?
I was sitting in starbucks with a friend while we were playing some intensive diablo immortal yesterday. My friend is with his iphone 13 pro max while im using my z fold 4. Apparently, his 5G reception was really bad that he ended up using hotspot from my z fold 4 to play the game throughout. I thought that was really unfortunate since it was the supposedly best flagship phone from apple.
Most likely the carrier. The phone could be faulty. Don’t bs people into thinking the samsung phones have better reception than the iPhones. “I thought that was really unfortunate”🙄
@@JD-rox We have the same carrier. Look up online for all the 5G signal issues in apple discussion forum or anywhere for the iphone 13 pro max. You might think twice before calling bs on me. He is trying to get apple to fix the issue since his sim card is replaced but problem persists. Sorry to get your hopes up on the truth
Forgot to mention the S-Pen also works very well with Samsung notes, concepts and sketch. Thanks again!
Recently purchased the Z Fold 4 and I have to say it is the best phone/computer I have ever owned. I do a lot with my phone and the screen size of the fold is amazing. Applications which work with the larger screen are great to use. Productivity with MS Teams, Outlook and Gmail are fantastic. Social media on the larger screen is also great. I tend to watch a lot of RUclips TV, Netflix, HBOMax, Hulu and Prime, and the resolution on the larger screen, as well as the cover screen, do not disappoint. Gaming is also amazing, Xbox GamePass cloud gaming is great on the larger screen. Best and loudest speakers I have had on a phone. Reading news articles on Reddit, Flipboard and other media is also fantastic. Kindle and other reading apps work great. So far, I love this device! Thanks for the video!
I have a Tab S7+ and S22U that cost a similar amount to the Fold 4 (retail in the UK), and the Tab does all that you say but better as it is more extensive. It also has a massive advantage with the attachable keyboard and, for media, a much better aspect ratio. Yes, the Fold4 can do stuff okay but is def compromised for total productivity and no way I would get the Fold over my setup as it would cost me productivity; 75% of my workflow needs a keyboard, and on the road, setting up a Bluetooth keyboard just does not work.
The Fold4 is an inferior solution, but because it is new and shiny, people grab onto it. Running my own business, the best tools are the only tools, and I would fail my customers with the Fold4. I am glad it works for you and am just showing the other side of the coin.
@@ahaimes6320 Very good points indeed. You could hook up a DeX to any android phone and get the keyboard functionality you are looking for. Yes, we gadget freaks love new and shinny things. I needed a phone upgrade anyway so I went for it and I do not regret the decision. Probably the best phone I have ever owned. Very fast processor, great for everything I listed previously. I do have an iPad Pro with keyboard if I need a different type of solution for overall productivity, but the Fold 4 has been really nice. Yes, you definitely use your S7 for productivity a lot more than I use my phone. My phone is definitely more of an entertainment device, music, movies, shows, RUclips TV and reading. I get a lot out of my devices. They are all used each and every day and never gather dust. Thanks for the response. Have a great week!
Didn't show the feature off but when you have the phone open to take a photo it shows on the back what you look like while you take a selfie
Had it for a week and Love it
I keep my Buds2 Pro in my ear at work for a good 4-5 hours and feel literally no ear fatigue. No soreness at all, I barely even realize they are there most of the time
I think he may have the Buds turned in too much and the top edge rubbing his ear too much. My Buds are in my ear from 10pm to 8am when I sleep and no real issue. Not only do I use it for audio but also use them as semi ear plugs.
Same here! Probably this youtuber got a Dumbo heard 😳 🤔
Need that blue and red wallpaper though 😅
Does it have a stylus pen?
I use my iPhone 13 Pro Max with Mac Mini when out sketching. The ZFold 4 could be a great replacement for that combo. Then there is Apple's Watch 5 Pro that I understand may be $1000 with poor battery life. Maybe Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 Pro for $500 makes more sense. So-Galaxy Watch 5 Pro ($500)+ZFold 4 ($1800)=$2300; Apple Watch 8 Pro ($1000)+iPhone 14 Pro Max ($1300)+Mac Mini ($500)=$2800.
i have had a fold 3 but the screen still bugs me as it is so easy to damage and a lot of apps still are not good on it
To be honest I am changing to Samsung due to the fold 4. But I do use it unfolded for work so much. But there still needs some work, and I do wish the s pen had a slot. It would make it so much better.
I just got the z fold 4 today, i upgraded from my z flip 3. It's way better than any other phone on the market to me because 80% of the time I'm watching youtube on my phone. It stands out from every other phone and i get questions about it all the time from random strangers. The multitasking is also great for doing homework or business and the large 4k screen is so crisp and clear I have never seen a better display on a phone. I've started playing more games on my phone because the screen is huge but pocketable. If you use your phone for entertainment purposes then this is definitely a phone to consider. I am leasing the phone with spectrum mobile for 2 years and it costs $150 per month with unlimited which is much better than paying $1700 up front. It's completely worth it to me.
