![AVOID A MISTAKE!? Galaxy Z Fold 5 vs Z Fold 4 vs Z Fold 3 [Full Comparison]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/7uEBmKyF8kw/mqdefault.jpg)
This video is made in partnership with Mint Mobile: mintmobile.com/TechVerve
Thank you at least somebody said you gotta be a little bit more delicate with these. I've noticed a lot of people have a tendency to use their thumb when closing the inner screen. Their thumb is pushing on the screen
This is why the case you should have bought had hinge protection
I've had my fold 4 since release date. My phone looks brand new and run excellent. It's only gotten better with age. I've dropped it many times, and there are no scratches or fades. The Fold 4 is a tank and is still the best phone out. I will not replace it until the Fold 5 or 6 comes out.
Thanks a lot for the great video. Really nice editing quality. Got my fold 4 two weeks ago and I'm in love with it.
Thank you!
Had my Fold 4 making a very similar creak sound when opening for the longest time, and just recently it stopped opening up all the way, just got it back from repair.
Saw you have a very familiar looking purple app installed ;) Keep up the great work!
Many great points not coved in other reviews. Thanks!
Thanks man!
I bought mine on day 1 and absolutely love it. I never have the case on, never dropped nor scratched it, no crunchy in the gears, no issues at all. And now I get what everyone was saying about Fold phones: once you get one, you just can't go back to a candybar phone again.
My only complaints are minor gripes. I wish the stylus worked on the front cover, wish I could store it in the phone, wish the crease was gone, wish it folded flat, wish it was bigger and closer to a 16:9 layout. That's about it. But again, all of these are minor gripes. I love what it is, but I'm hoping the Fold 5 addresses these nitpicks all the same..
Loll never had the case on? Oh you'll need it soon
@@dukingproductions4729 Why? I had a Galaxy S9+ for 4+ years without a case and it's still pristine. Are you guys using your phones as ninja stars or something?
@@dukingproductions4729 Why would multiple screens add to the risk? I mean, if you're mobile, you have the internal screens closed anyway. And if you're not crazy with your phone, you aren't dropping it regardless.
I really just want the phone to last me for a year anyway as I'll probably upgrade to the Fold 5 and get the trade in. But I never drop my phones anyway. I don't get how people do.
@@SuperiorityQomplex Dude , the day will come when you drop it , we all do , and it also could be opened up , as for being happy if it only lasts a year , you are a very forgiving dude , if mine didn't last at least 4 years without needing repairs ..... id be seriously pissed , especially given the coin you are paying for one of these.
@@mikldude9376 Meh, I've had cell phones going as far back as the original StarTacs. That's over a quarter of a century ago. Never drop my phones. And I just hate cases. They are bulky and cumbersome. I mean, why do they spend that much R&D to have super skinny phones when you have to put on body armor that makes them feel like a brick anyway?
As far as wanting it to last for a year, Samsung has a wicked discount on their new phones when you return the old. And I own my own small business so what I do pay is a tax write off anyway. So might as well upgrade each year and keep things current.
I replaced a Fold 3 screen protector in 5 minutes after 18 months use. The White Stone "GEN" film for $17.99. Came out literally perfect.
I have used the phone robustly no squeaks or anything. I created a hybrid case using one of the magnetic spine protector cases and an official case. Best phone I have ever used
I know the build in stylus is more convenient, but as a heavy note -taker, I love the combination of the real-pen-size stylus with z fold 4 now. it has almost replaced my notebook.
Almost? For that price wouldn’t you want a full replacement? Not trying to be rude. My iPad mini is my go everywhere sketchbook. And even since the first iPad way back in 2010 I pretty much went paperless overnight (well over a week, but it was so long ago)
Great video… how does the library app look on the fold out screen? That’s why I’m considering one.
Great! So much better using Fold 4 for the meetings
In terms of durability
I used my in a mountain hike, jungle trekking, brought it during Search and rescue mission during the february turkey earthquake,
It remains unscathe. Provided i uaed a spigen case.
The main inner screen is still like new. The original SP is still like new
I absolutely love my fold 4 and don't plan on going back to a regular candybar phone. I am very careful with my phone but should note as a warehouse worker I do get a fair amount of dust. However, I've had no crunching, no power issues, and (luckily) no screen protector issues. Every once in a while i notice a bit of sound from the hinge, but it dissapears after a fold or two. This is my daily driver and I really love it. Unless Samsung makes some significant and I mean SIGNIFICANT changes to the phone with the five I'll keep the 4. Battery needs an upgrade as well as the crease that can be very noticeable at times. If they somehow make a boost in these directions with the next upgrade I will get it but for now, it's worth its to keep it as my daily driver for a couple years! What a fun phone!
I work in the pipeline industry and the whole dirt/dust really worries me lol, I do want a fold so bad but i see so many mixed reviews but then every now and then ill read a review like yours and makes me want to get one lol.
hows the experience of using rear cameras and front screen as a viewfinder for photos and videos, short vlog memories and so on ?
My fold 4 still like new. Absolutely love it. Wish it was wider like the pixel fold, but I'm super happy. Found a Casetify fold 4 case. Awesome case. Didn't need to use the sticky tape at all, fits snug. Dropped it a few times with zero scratches or dents to the phone or case. My only complaint is that sometimes it runs out of memory or maxes out on processor, so it may freeze for a second after long, heavy use, but it's minor overall . Never going back to plain candy bar phones. I'll wait for fold 6 or pixel fold 2 or 3 for upgrades.
How's the battery?
Iam scared to buy this phone
Iam puzzled between s23 ultra and this phone
@@hussamchaghlil Wait for the Fold 5
Hey there, would you happen to be able to produce a RUclips Short of using Instagram and other social media sites on the front screen? I am looking to purchase the device but not sure how much media is cut off when using the front display.
I understood the sound from the hinge is not particles. It are the brushes to get rid of them. It is therefor completely normal...
Subbed for that purple app on the Home Screen 🤜🤛
Best reason to sub!! Thanks bro
I bought mine upon release and traded my Note 20 Ultra +. I got 1K off from Samsung with the trade in. I was not sure at the beginning how I would like the phone. Over the months of daily extensive use, I have grown to absolutely love the phone and the form factor. I have had zero issues with the fold and it works flawlessly everyday. I do agree that battery life is shorter especially if you use it more unfolded. But with UFWC, it's a non-issue. Overall, ive not looked back from my Note. I do honestly wish it has a built in S pen instead of the external one. I miss my pen.
Can upgrade in June. Thinking about this phone but maybe better to what for 5
Yeah if you can wait, might be better
Love the JW Library app!
Maybe worth investing in a dust blower in a can to clean up once a week routine.
Best phone except March update spoiling camera resulting overexposed photos and heavy battery drain..
I couldn't agree with you more. Spot on!
I noticed my battery on my Z fold 4 lasting less compared to last year. I think Samsung has done something they should be made aware of. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 is an efficient processor as I used to get battery life of over 1 day with 6h SOT, and now it's down to around 4 hours SOT and averaging around 18 - 19 hours daily.
😂
If these flaws still make it the best phone…. How far down is the second best phone?
I think it’s interesting technology for sure, and I get the hype, but at the end of the day you paying almost $2000 for a device that is a thick skinny phone that isn’t the ultimate shape to be just a phone, and a tablet with a crease in the middle. I use my tablet for note taking and sketching, and I could not get used to it. It’s like drawing on a pre folded piece of paper. And if you just jot down on one side kinda defeats the purpose of the screen.
After playing around with a few of these, I think this is something that works on paper, but kinda doesn’t work in reality.
I think the pixel fold and Oppo Find N2 were the closest to work, but it should have been priced a lot more aggressively to make it work and in Oppos case make it mavailable in more markets. They nice phone closed, and I think it opens to nicer aspect ratio. The crease still sucks, but with no stylus support it’s not intended to do what I want to do with a tablet.
I'm glad you brought that point up. We are all hung up on having the best cameras and yes I agree with most that with paying a high price we would expect to have the best of the best. Besides that draw back, the fold has such a unique way of performing. Gaming on it is awesome, watching content and reading documents or books is such an experience that you don't get on a regular phone. Yeah it is a thick phone and it's something to get use to but I'd rather have a thick phone with heft than a thin light phone that feels like it'll break. This phone is not for everyone nor will it ever be. Foldable will for the time being be an underated phone because let's face it, majority of consumers wouldn't really want it or know what to do with it. I will say this, having this phone is awesome, it beats carrying a tablet around if I wanted to catch up on some reading or catch up on some RUclips content, when I'm done fold it up and back in my pocket very convenient, also this phone can be helpful for people who have a hard time seeing. Making the text more visible on this phone looks great and doesn't feel cramped compared to other flagships.
How do you feel about the size of the cover screen battery life And no s pen?
You know even if the five didn't come with an s pen had the same battery life and the same cameras I'd still buy it if the cover screen was wider
We pay a lot for cars and still don't get what we want in them 😂
We pay for a lot of stuff that's overpriced
Definitely want this phone and was going to buy it during the pre-order through Samsung. However, after an hour of chatting with a rep, they hung up so I'm holding out for the Fold 5. Is there an ETA?
I'm also waiting for the Fold 5. Probably will be revealed in August 2023
Aug 11, 2023 it looks like
Tomorrow!
I have fold 2 still and have no problems
Wow! It’s really held up. Nice!
I still love mine. I'm not sure if I go back to regular candy bar.
The skreen brotrctoer is lifting fur shore. 😊
JW library app? Nice!
Can you expand on the mint mobile?
I am seeing some terrible reviews.
Seems to be hit or miss.
Thanks
Love My fold 4. But the fingerprint scanner has gone all hit and miss recently....
Any suggestions?
Have you tried erasing the fingerprints saved and setting up the fingerprints again?
@Tech Verve Yeah...Done that...Originally had it set for my index finger...
Got it set now for my middle finger....Bit of an improvement, but can still be miss than hit...
Really frustrating
@@UBZUKki power button finger ID is a bit lack lustre in my view , I have it on my iPad , it usually works most of the time , but you need to be fairly accurate with you finger placement and it is not as consistent or fast as a good screen Finger id.
Register the same finger more than once....
@@KC-lg8qf Thank you.
The hinge is actually a big issue. I love this phone. Its my favorite so far of all my phones.
However i got mine in August 2022 and one day in march my phone stopped opening the entire way.
I baby my phone, never dropped it. I work from home. It wouldnt open flat.
So less than a year in, i have a certified replacement. Still my favorite phone? Yes.
Am i bummed about the hinge and that i didnt even get a year out of the new phone? Yes. Bummed.
@TwinTurbo Ray with respect, that might be the case, but $1800 for a phone that the hardware doesn't make it a year is not something consumers should accept. I've worked in the hardware & software field, and new generation hardware that doesn't last through the first year is considered a failure and a "profit drag." This is the 4th generation and these hw issues should have been worked out by now.
And havig said all of that, i still love this phone and won't buy a traditional phone again.
All is top notch, but the Battery goed down so fast
@TwinTurbo Ray fait enough, i have the fold 3
Can you give me a update please?
I bought used fold 4 and exactly in 1 day the internal screen damaged! issue with loose hinges pins underneath which is not visible and not covered with warranty.... sold the phone as is with big loss and worst experience with mobiles ever!
My screen protector is separating. I'm not interested in getting this repaired... especially if I have to pay for it. It's ridiculous to not be able to trade this within the warranty period for a different model at no cost
If I recall, for the first year, the Screen Protector Replacement is free for the 1st time. After that, it's only $20 (If I recall correctly).
The zfold 2 is the best in my opinion as it is the most durable of all the folds it had the least amount of issues. The zfold 3 is the worst fold in terms of durability 😅 in my opinion as it has the most issues
fold 2 not waterproof. my Fold 3 has survived too many drops to count. works 100% fine.
What mad you form that opinion? I have had the fold 3 without issue for almost 2 years.
nice apple watch
Technically been 8 months
It has many promotions and the cameras are much better than z fold 3
I could care less about camera
No disrespect my friend , but 6 months or 24 weeks , the phone is still virtually brand new , citing. "durability" at such a short term is almost laughable , I have both my galaxy S8+ and galaxy note 9 which are 5 and 6 years old and in pristine condition , my note 9 I still use , my S8+ still gets a little bit of use a couple of times a week, and neither of these devices have ever needed a repair and have been used to death , and the screens still look great .
don't get me wrong , its good to know they are holding up to this stage , but 6 months of use is hardly durability , come back in two years or three years and I will be interested to see if the fold lasts that long without needing repairs ( I am highly sceptical though mate ).
I do like the idea of the unfolding extra screen real estate , for old eyes , large screens are easier , but I still am not a fan of the delicate screens , not to mention the narrow front screen which is a double whammy if you have less than great eyes and also large ish hands.
In my neck of the woods , the fold is 2K+ costing device , at the higher specced level on the high end of 2K , no s pen , no SD card , no charger or accessories , the small front screen , and still the question mark of durability , for me , its a very hard sell.
Considering it’s a folding phone which many people fear will fall apart after months, durability is still valid. It can be used to work out longer term too. If it was a standard slab phone, ur absolutely correct.
the fold 5 looks to be so damn boring I will keep my 4 until it breaks, which it will
Dude....you could take the inside screen protector off the fold 3 and replace it yourself. I did it for mine twice. It's not hard nor does it harm the screen at all. That internal display is thinner but it's not as delicate as you're making it out to be. You're being paranoid.
That breaking sound is so idiotic...comes out of nowhere...and the aesthetic of the vidoe is not such...
When the screen protector peels ... it does that on every phone 😂😂😂 u don't really need 1 on there tbh
Samsung foldables should never exceed 1000$ price these phones is not reliable , its hard to keep these phones for more than 1 year fixing these phone is brand new phone price .
Keeping Samsung foldables is costly too you need Samsung care + in case you face any problem with the main screen changing the screen is very expensive to the point of it doesn't worth it , you need protection cover screen protector etc
I only have a Spigen case and no Samsung care+ and the same screen protector it came out of the box with on my Fold 3 and it is still in perfect condition. There is no way, a phone with 2 screens, especialy one that folds, should cost less than a phone that has one screen, with the same storage capacity.
The iPhone 14 Pro max with 256GB of storage costs $1200. Add just the 64GB version of the iPad Mini with data to get basically the equivalent of a Fold device's functionality and experience, would cost you $1850. Add apple care for your iPhone and iPad mini, $20 a month. $13 for care+, that initally provides a year of coverage for free upon purchase.
iPhone 14 Pro max screen repalcement: $379
Fold 4 screen replacement: $499
Apple wins here, but imagine the cost of replacing an Apple folding screen?
All this to say, when you're compaing a product, look at what you get, like for like in comparison, then make a decision and don't just make a blanket statement without any context.
I turned in my Fold 4 for the S23 Ultra because the middle part of the inner screens pixels were dying. Fold phones are crap
Rocking mine for the last 8 months. Great device, no issues. Never gonna go back to regular phone. But be sure you buy insurance for it
You say you can't see any problems with the fold in the center. I see a crease all the way across. When you fold and unfold something, it will eventually break no matter how good they build it and at $1800, it's not worth it.
Driving the fold 3 for over a year. You literally do not notice the crease watching video at all. The crease isn't noticeable unless you angle the screen to see it deliberately. I've opened and closed my phone thousands of times and see no deterioration in the screen whatsoever.
@@bencowan9553 agreed. You don't see the crease after a little while.
I got mine a month ago and the battery is absolutely sucks🥲 i didn't see the adaptive battery working either it's still as bad as the first time i got it
Oh that stinks. My battery life hasn’t been too bad. Maybe try playing with some of the setting s
Mine is fine
I have amazing battery z fold 4
@J same. I have adaptive battery turned on and usually have 30% by bedtime. Constant YT watcher, but not a heavy gamer.
