Just thought I'd tell you that about 15 seconds into your video, I could see how much time, money, and effort you put into the quality and efficiency of your content. It is a rare gem to see this kind of professionalism and attention to detail in youtube content. Keep it up. Amazing.
I'm 65, and my son suggested this phone for me as I am practically bedbound. I have not seen an optometrist for 20+ years. This phone allows me to have a really comfortable viewing experience. My favorite pastime is watching animes and amvs. It is wonderful not having to squint to have an amazing time enjoying my time immersed in bl, isakai, and reincarnation manga and anime.
I just bought one! At first it felt a little strange to have a thinner screen, but I quickly got used to it. The only things that bothered me were: inaccuracy in fingerprint detection and the weight. By the way, this was the best review I've seen so far. If you're thinking of buying one, I think it's worth a try.
Yea then crease getting worse after a year and phone not folding all the way through. I'm done with folds. I took care of mine for the last 7 months and never dropped it but one day my phone didnt open fully flat
Same here. It's taken a little while and also the anxiety of the screen lol. But it's lossened up a little the last week or 2 and it's starting to feel a lot better
Man,, I've had nothing but hell with my fold negl. So originally when I bought it, the shipping was delayed and lost in transit, and finally after recieving it, my phone came damaged, and had a slight dead pixel the moment I got it. After little bit of use, I started waking up to scratches on my phone despite not dropping it or anything. And now with the screen, it is cracked at the end and I actually have glass on the phone that can cut me.I have also had charging problems so bad. My phone will not charge and I have had switched chargers and I keep having to take it up to AT&T to have it cleaned, but its so annoying. I am still paying it off because I put a dowmpayment on it, but I can't do anything, I wish I could just switch the phone, but AT&T are greedy and would never do anything like that. I heard I can do a switch and repair the phone since I have coverage, but there are some problems. 1 The place I went ot TOLD BY THE AT&T lady (it was an online thing), didn't work, and then I tried calling about it to no advail. It's actually getting to a point where I am just getting pissed with the phone and I wish I had never got it.
I switched to a z fold 3 for my "work" oriented phone, which is mostly used for slack, zoom, and outlook for work, and upgraded from that to the z fold 5. after using the fold 3, I was never going back to not having a large screen foldable for work related use. but coming from the fold 3, the refinement in the fold 5 is impressive and well worth the upgrade. the hinge upgrade is as big a deal as the hype. seriously.
Jesus Christ loves you very, very much! Without Him there is no salvation! "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." -John 3:16, said by Jesus Christ who is God
I have the Z fold 4. I love it! When I first got it, I thought I maybe made a mistake, but after about 2 weeks, was like I'm never going back to a regular phone! It does make me think of how it was when they first came out with the note phone and it took a little while for the apps to work with it. I think that will get better.
I've always had the flagship phones.. Still have the S21 Ultra and haven't upgraded because I didn't think the newer ones were much better. And I REALLY love having the moving periscope camera in this phone. I had really, REALLY, considering moving to the S24 Ultra or the Fold 5. Finally ordered the Fold 5 and it'll be here Monday. I think im going to miss the camera, and I'm pretty rough on my phones at work.. generally breaking one within about 18 months.. I'm hoping I don't regret buying this thing. I guess if I do, I'll send it back and get the 24 Ultra. Also.. does it still have Dex on it? I actually use it at work by plugging my phone into the docking station at my work PC
I thought the same that I will never go back to a normal phone. After 1 year exactly my fold 4 died (Hinge problems) and now I am back to iPhone. You will realize it soon! 😂
Very nice review. I upgraded from the Fold 3 to the F5 after watxhing your review. That gapless flat fell was worth the money. You are correct. Most can afford $1700, or don't utilize trades. Samsung gave me $800 for my F3 so I only had to pay the difference. As an insurance agent my productivity has doubled because of my phone multiple uses in the field. My battery still last all day. Just wanted to say great review and thank you.
I just switched from an iPhone 12 pro to the Fold 5 and I'm in love. I was sad today leaving iPhone after 10 years but I needed something new and it was worth the switch
Do you miss iPhone? I’ve been a iPhone user for about 16 years and this is the only phone (galaxy z fold 5) I’m thinking about giving up my iPhone for. Is it worth it???
Honestly these last 2 weeks with the Fold 5 have been a blast, there is nothing i miss from the iphone besides the good connectivity to my apple watch and airpods pro2 and max@@Bankrollfish3x
I personally, just my opinion would recommend a Samsung, Granted I've only had this Z Fold 5 for about 3 weeks now but im in love with it. Its new its fun with how much you can customize it, the features, the huge screen, the long battery, all these things made me not even miss my iphone once. Im still in the apple eco system but the trade off of having a new and exciting phone make it worth it@@juliusandrews1556
@@Bankrollfish3xyes it's worth it. You'll be super productive and damn the look on other people's face when they see how your phone folds in and off itself worth the money.
Best review!!! Good work!! I'm a samsung user from the galaxy s1 to the note 1 and all trough the notes from then on. The 1st foldable was and is the fold 4. Never going back!! Keep it up Samsung!
0:56 👌that was actually a very good point you made about the phone being more symmetrical, it's a fairly important detail to ppl and 1:18 something you showed but didn't really talk about was how cool it looks as you scroll through pictures with the UI, not sure if it's new because I've never used that model but I love what I'm seeing
I have been using fold phones for past 3 years. Starting with the fold 3. I only had one issue and thst was inner screen lifting during the heatwave. That's not a flaw that was the heatwave. The build is superb I now have the fold 5 wow with minor refinements it feels super polished. I love my phone ps well worth the samsung care plus guys costing £69 for 2yesrs here in the UK. Worth every penny. I can't fault this phone at all. Absolutely brilliant
@DroneFP I bought it dorect from Samsung at the time I purchased my fold 5. I bought my fold 5 on contract from sky network whom gave me £300 if I swapped my fold 3. So I swapped my fold 3 for the fold 5 sky gave me £300 back and I got rhe samsung care plus as basic phone insurance does not cover the inner screens they count it as small tablet.
@@DENVEROUTDOORMANname 1 flip or fold phone which is better than or equal in quality to Samsung? Watch JerryRigEverything's breakdown of flip and fold phones, most Samsungs have passed those tests with flying colours, but most others have not. The cheap Samsung phones I can agree with
Probably getting a Fold 5 soon! The amount of freelance artwork I've done on my old Note 8 over the years paid for the phone 15x over, and I'm **stoked** to see what I can do on a foldable!
I'm puzzled why many reviewers overlook or undervalue the benefits of a large display for accessibility users. It's as if all reviewers have perfect vision or are unfamiliar with those who struggle with sight or wear glasses. I opted for the Z Fold this year, wanting to forgo the constant use of a magnifying glass or the accessibility zoom on other devices. I wish reviewers would consider the diverse needs of their audience rather than focusing solely on their own vision preferences.
I use Z fold 5 and I love it. I agree with everything you say. I know now that I can not go back and use a non-fold phone. it's not an option any more. And, yes, being able to actually create and edit your excel spreadsheet all from your smartphone is amazing.
I am middle of the road tech savvy, and I control this phone easily. It can do A Lot of cool things that I am not capable of. But, I am not missing anything. This phone is amazing, and I am 100% happy that I upgraded to the z fold 5. It operates on the normal galaxy android platform and if you trade in your Samsung Galaxy to get that HUGE discount to buy it, you won't regret it. I use my phone for RUclips music, all of the movie and TV show apps. And sometimes Google maps. I've been amazed at how great this phone has performed. I'm a 10/10 on the fold. And again, I don't even use it at maximum, what it can do.
Outstanding video! It's funny that before I didn't really care about foldables, but now that I take online college classes and sometimes find myself browsing the course material on my phone when I am on the go, I now see the value in having that bigger screen and just having a versatile, portable computing device overall. I will wait until the Z fold 6 comes out and then the price for a used (like new) Z fold 5 should come down (or maybe Samsung will offer great trade-in deals for a new Z fold 6. We'll see).
I am waiting for the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 20, which comes with a very Modern Design. If you press the button on the right below the volume button, if you order Mac Donalds, a Bic Mac menu will appear, whatever you want comes out of the screen, press the another button then you make a choice for drinks, once you have made your choice, it also appears on the screen how ideal you want it Greetings From Amsterdam Nederland Oke👌🏼Dan
Soooo many haters on this phone . This video is so accurate. I'm one of the people that this phone works for. I couldn't imagine life without this device. I use it to it's full potential. Fold 3, Fold 4 and now Fold 5. The trade ins are so good that I keep getting the new model. People hate and don't realize all the things that are going on with this format . You did a great time explaining. People don't know that they are missing. S23 ultra is Great but not as good as this. Great video.
I just got my fold 5 a couple of days ago. I've been using the S23 Ultra. My main use is for work which is why I first bought a Note way back when. I am still deciding whether to keep this or go back to my S23. I do like using the fold and now I can use it for work when I'm away from my laptop. I've attended Teams meetings, viewed and even edited spreadsheets. Definitely can't do that on my S23. I'd like to keep them both but I really only need one.
@@donnamorgan8511 I ended up keeping the Fold 5. The added benefit of being able to do work away from my laptop is why I finally settled on it. But honestly I feel like the S23 Ultra is definitely the way better device for every day use. In just about every way measurable the S23 Ultra beats this device. Camera, Screen Resolution, S Pen Features and Functions, Sound Quality, Battery Life. I don't think I would buy the Z Fold 5 again if I was given the chance. It's a nice device and if you play games and watch RUclips videos or spend a lot of time on social media then it's probably a better choice. In a perfect world I'd have both.
You're making me want to go and trade in my Note20 Ultra (which I absolutely love) for the Fold 5... Seriously considering it after watching your video! I love how passionate you are...Great stuff 👍🏻 I get so much crap from friends for not having an iPhone and honestly, I do not care...So what if the bubble is green 😂 Samsung users know, they are the best phones on the market for the value and for what you get and functionality ❤ #TheMoreYouKnow Thanks again for your video, it was lovely to watch 😊
Just traded in my note 20 ultra 😢 for a fold 5. I wasn't sure how I would feel but I'm about 12 hrs into owning it and love it. Haven't used it yet during the day (came in @5pm cst) but so far the reactions I get are crazy. It's the same look people would give when they saw the note for the first time. The fold is quick and responsive. Ultra beautiful display. Superb sound. The hinge improvement sold me. Still sucks not having a built in s pen but the fact that the capability is there, I'm happy. Overall I give this phone a 9.5 out of 10. The only .5 taken away because you have to get used to a slim outer display, but honestly for convenience sake it's not bad so 1/2 a point given back. Get the phone trust me.
I personally don't own a fold or flagship but still as I'm going to buy one pretty soon I'll suggest you to sort your work if something like a tablets works better for you than a phone then go for Fold and if you don't need 2in1 phone + tablet formfactor don't go for fold for the sake of it coz you can afford it. Just remember foldables are fragile and more expensive to repair than a regular phone. I might sound rude but this is the best way i can advice you. This is how someone with a foldable explained me if i really wanted one
Got z flip 5 for my wife and fold 5 for me. Absolutely loving them both. A departure from candy bar phones. Still plenty to explore in flex mode as this is our first foldable form factors.
My girl has the z flip and I’m thinking of getting the fold myself. The price is crazy high though. So I wonder how is the battery life improvement of the fold. I currently still use the iPhone 13 Pro and it still last me two days on a single charge since day one.
@@riosaswin6580 the battery lasts me till the night when it hits around 30% mark. As per the price since I pre-ordered both and traded in my S22 ultra and wife's I Phone 13 pro, I got both the phones for 1100 $ (after converting the currency) along with free samsung official cases for both the phones.
can you provide an update on your experience with the phones? what type of consumers are you and your wife? a reply would help this college student out a lot!
@@spartan16.Both are good in their respective form factor. But most practical is flip. Fold can't be used in open form in general use. The cover display is quite narrow. But ince the inner screen us open then it's all together a different story. If you are contemplating to buy either of the two, go for flip.
I'm still using my fold 3 and still have 12 months left before its paid, the biggest issue i have with the fold series is the s pen not being incised l included for a device that is 2k a pen should be included, that's like when the note was out not giving a pen with it or not getting one with the ultra devices now which is the only difference between getting the plus and ultra models
The fact that it is smaller in my pocket than my old Note phones, while having an even bigger display when needed as well as still being able to have a pen (I can't not have the pen now after using the Note for best part of a decade), just seals the deal for me. Combined with my 5G unlimited data plan, its become the pocket computer I have wanted for years.
You are my favorite reviewer now..always wait for your videos...i want to ask one question that currently using s23 ultra which is a beast and i want to try the z fold 5..is it worth considering to upgrade from s23 ultra because there is less capable camera on z fold 5 than s23 ultra.
Hi mobiscrub i first got my samsung galaxy fold the first model had it for just over 3 years, it finally gave up the ghost. loved the phone ,I now have just ordered the new samsung galaxy fold 5 and looking forward to using it for my work. But after watching your stream and seeing how much more the fold can do ,Amazed me thankyou so much for putting up the stream and it's content's off what it can do. I am glad i found this information on the fold5 .thankyou.
I purchased the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 in Phantom Black with 512GB. Yesterday, I purchased the $100.00 dollar S Pen from Samsung, and it comes with some great accessories to protect your tablet. I also purchased a protective cover for $42.95 to protect the outer display. I buy all of my 4K UHD movies for my new phone from RUclips instead of Google, especially since they'll no longer be the same after October 5th. I love the phone. Do I wish that I had waited for the iPhone 15? I highly doubt it since I already own an iPhone 14 Pro Max with one terabyte. One of the first things I did was buy insurance for my Samsung mobile phone because it's over two thousand dollars! It is packing some incredible technology!
Thanks for covering some of the functionalities and how best to use the phone.. like making notes while watching a video. I dont think i've seen anyone else cover these functions. Keep up the great work!
Great video! I love the Z Fold5. I switched to the Fold2 from iPhone X and am very happy. The productivity is amazing. I didnt think the Fold5 was going to be that great, but I love it after receiving it recently.
As someone that had the z fold 3 and currently using fold 4, most of the gripes out there are not that noticeable at all during daily use. The crease is barely noticeable once you start to use it and watch videos. When you use a case it doesn't matter if the phone folds flat or not. The case with raised edges is pretty much going to fill in the gap that is left behind. The only thing I wish for is a bigger battery. The narrow front display takes some getting used to, but as a person that wanted the Sony flagship phone that also has a narrow display its not that bad. Other foldable phones that we can get in the use in the U.S. and not have possible carrier issues are not as durable, and for the same price, I'll stick with the fold series of phones.
Oh my gosh if I here one more person moan about the crease. Its a frigging folding phone people with a inner display almost the size of a ipad mini!! This phone is. Absolutely incredible I can't fault it at all. Its super responsive. Jaw dropping to watch it open and close. I get thousands of comments on it. There still super rare in London I hardly see anyone with it. And I love that. I was a iohone user for many many years but they never brought anything exc9to the table each year. Just another candybar design wow wow another candybar. Ued there expensive if you don't shop around. And the covers are very unique it can take weeks to find a cover thst truly does what you want without distracting from the design and form. The crease I dint see at all now truly when i do use my inner screen Its for netflix so I'm watching super rich in depth media you dint see the crease what so ever. And the new hinge o. The 5 is mighty powerful no gap at all now. Less room for dust to get trapped. I've had a foldable now for 6 years or so and not once had a issue with my screen. OK once but thst was due to the heatwave in the UK. My screen started to lift and samsung repaired for free. I don't wrap my phones in cotton but I don't abuse them either I'm aware how pricy it was so I treat it with care. Good strong cover a good hinge protector etc. But these phones are now built for day to day use. And with the custom snapdragon chip a long with the armour frame and the gorilla glass this phone was built to be enjoyed. If you can see the crease your looking at the wrong features.
I for one love how narrow the front screen and the whole phone is. It is more streamlined than any phone i have had for many years. I like how it fits in more smaller pockets than the bulky phones that are out today.
When Samsung puts the upgradeable SD card back I'll buy it. My husband bought the Z Fold 5 and loves it but is hindered by this Issue, too. He told me to keep my Note Ultra 20 until there's an upgradable SD card option, like my Note 20 Ultra has. Samsung would see a huge boost in sales if they put the upgradeable SD card back. Till then ...
I got my wife the flip5 and me the fold 5. It's her first folding phone and my second. Coming from the fold 3. I love this phone. All the features you think you'll never use, you'd be surprised at how many you will. It was a no-brainer for me cause of the trade-in and storage upgrade with the pre-order. So yeah. This phone is a gem.
Nice impressions as always❤ As a new unique video idea - Could you make 'Fold 5 with Galaxy watch as a companion' video . As I think as devices are getting bigger n bigger they need a good companion smart watch experience so a real life review would be osm
i d ve liked 2 things : The folded aspect ratio is a bit narrow and long.. would rather have it to be similar to the "regular" slightly wider form factor as seen in conventional smartphones and folding out to even bigger form factor say 8" or 8.5" .. secondly an inbuilt holster for the S Pen like note series and the current S series Ultra versions with similar functionalities. hope samsung brings into their next fold version!
Waiting for them to make a different aspect ratio, something that looks like a "Note" from the front. Your videos are great man, l never miss a single one ❤👍👌
The problem with fold and flip phones is the outdated chip that is always replaced with a new and better one in the galaxy S line just a few months after the folds go on sell
I do not comment often, but I had to pause the video (I will finish I have 3 min left). I truly appreciate your perspective and insight. I am enjoying the segemnt about how apps are adapting to enhance the productivity and overal experience of these folding phones. You got yourself another subscriber. I look forward to going through your other videos. God bless you bro.
I bought the z fold 5. It is really expensive, I also upgraded it to 512 gigs because I use a lot of gigs. I wish my mobile carrier provided the one even higher. I would have gotten it. I feel it's worth the money. I wish I knew how to use all the features you just demonstrated. I'm learning the basics so far. Thank you for the information. Do you have a video demonstrating how to use the advanced features of the phone?
I switched from an S22 Ultra. No regrets so far, the inner screen is beautiful. I hope they make an "Ultra" version with a built in S pen and a bigger front screen
Thats a downgrade not an upgrade. U lost out on the inbuilt spen with bluetooth functionality, better cameras all around and even dust resistance. Also the 4400 mah battery against the 5000 in the s22 ultra
Iva had my fold 5 a few weeks now and i just wanna say the narrow cover screen actually works out well for just basic phone stuff and the crease is so much less noticeable than i thought it would be while watching something. Even if you look at an angle so you can see it it doeant seem to distort the image at all. I also like the thickness of it when folded...i cant explain why but it pleases me...maybe just cause making them as thin as possible has been the trend for so long now.
It looks great, but the outer screen being too narrow and no S-Pen support, no S-Pen slot, small battery and camera system "outdated" vs. S23 Ultra, it's simply a no brainer for me! I'll wait until some of these current deal breakers are implemented, until then I'll keep on playing on my S22 Ultra which is still a beast!
Totally agree.. but that taskbar functionality and the ability to work 3 apps on the screen, plus a 4th floater.. it's so much easier and pleasing on the fold! I'm fine with the outer screen which lends to easier one hand usage for quick txts and calls. Been using both and still undecided on which to keep..
Hi brother, superb 👍. Decent language, to the point & accurate info, which is very useful to the viewers. You have the potential to become a great teacher
Thank you for talking about work productivity and performance using Excel or PDFs. We are all not all content creators and having a phone that can also cater to other professions is key
I have z fold 4...it's not all rosy as you claimed..not even 1 year and the inner screen detached and got dead pixel mark inside...when try to claim warranty, excuses after excuse were given until I complained to higher level...
Hi … what did you have to do .. I am going through the same thing .. my inner screen protector came off and now I have a dead pixel … waiting for Samsung to pick it up for repair…

Great review. I’ve seen a ton of reviews for Fold but this video is on point and precise. 👌
I like the narrow or front screen especially for one hand use and reachability 😊
It's also classy looking.
its definitely much better in hand
And for us with very big hands it feels amazing to hold a "bulky" phone so my hands dont accidently touch the screen when i hold it
😊

I'm a samsung user from the galaxy s1 to the note 1 and all trough the notes from then on. The 1st foldable was and is the fold 4. Never going back!!
Keep it up Samsung!
0:56 👌that was actually a very good point you made about the phone being more symmetrical, it's a fairly important detail to ppl and 1:18 something you showed but didn't really talk about was how cool it looks as you scroll through pictures with the UI, not sure if it's new because I've never used that model but I love what I'm seeing
I have been using fold phones for past 3 years. Starting with the fold 3. I only had one issue and thst was inner screen lifting during the heatwave. That's not a flaw that was the heatwave. The build is superb I now have the fold 5 wow with minor refinements it feels super polished. I love my phone ps well worth the samsung care plus guys costing £69 for 2yesrs here in the UK. Worth every penny. I can't fault this phone at all. Absolutely brilliant
Where did you find it for that price ? I can only find it for £9 per month
@DroneFP I bought it dorect from Samsung at the time I purchased my fold 5. I bought my fold 5 on contract from sky network whom gave me £300 if I swapped my fold 3. So I swapped my fold 3 for the fold 5 sky gave me £300 back and I got rhe samsung care plus as basic phone insurance does not cover the inner screens they count it as small tablet.
You're the first reviewer talkin'about cooling - love you
Quality is getting so better. Love your work!
Samsung makes the best smartphones and tablets in 2023
not only 2023 dude
Except for the Flops and Folds and cheapies
@@DENVEROUTDOORMAN you have no idea you are just brainwashed by apple scamming you
@@DENVEROUTDOORMANname 1 flip or fold phone which is better than or equal in quality to Samsung? Watch JerryRigEverything's breakdown of flip and fold phones, most Samsungs have passed those tests with flying colours, but most others have not. The cheap Samsung phones I can agree with
@@DENVEROUTDOORMANlol the so called cheapies are better than base iPhone in every way except camera for daily normal usage xD
Probably getting a Fold 5 soon! The amount of freelance artwork I've done on my old Note 8 over the years paid for the phone 15x over, and I'm **stoked** to see what I can do on a foldable!
I'm puzzled why many reviewers overlook or undervalue the benefits of a large display for accessibility users. It's as if all reviewers have perfect vision or are unfamiliar with those who struggle with sight or wear glasses. I opted for the Z Fold this year, wanting to forgo the constant use of a magnifying glass or the accessibility zoom on other devices. I wish reviewers would consider the diverse needs of their audience rather than focusing solely on their own vision preferences.
Sounds like a great take! You should do your own review!
I use Z fold 5 and I love it. I agree with everything you say. I know now that I can not go back and use a non-fold phone. it's not an option any more. And, yes, being able to actually create and edit your excel spreadsheet all from your smartphone is amazing.
I am middle of the road tech savvy, and I control this phone easily. It can do A Lot of cool things that I am not capable of. But, I am not missing anything. This phone is amazing, and I am 100% happy that I upgraded to the z fold 5. It operates on the normal galaxy android platform and if you trade in your Samsung Galaxy to get that HUGE discount to buy it, you won't regret it. I use my phone for RUclips music, all of the movie and TV show apps. And sometimes Google maps. I've been amazed at how great this phone has performed. I'm a 10/10 on the fold. And again, I don't even use it at maximum, what it can do.
Outstanding video! It's funny that before I didn't really care about foldables, but now that I take online college classes and sometimes find myself browsing the course material on my phone when I am on the go, I now see the value in having that bigger screen and just having a versatile, portable computing device overall.
I will wait until the Z fold 6 comes out and then the price for a used (like new) Z fold 5 should come down (or maybe Samsung will offer great trade-in deals for a new Z fold 6. We'll see).
Anyone here waiting for the Fold 6? 🤗
Z Fold 4. For work, I use it almost as much as my computer. Upgrading to the 6 once available. Why does anyone buy an innovation lacking, I phone?
I am waiting for 6 so that i can buy fold 4 😂
Definitely excited to get my hands on fold 6
I am waiting for the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 20, which comes with a very Modern Design. If you press the button on the right below the volume button, if you order Mac Donalds, a Bic Mac menu will appear, whatever you want comes out of the screen, press the another button then you make a choice for drinks, once you have made your choice, it also appears on the screen how ideal you want it Greetings From Amsterdam Nederland Oke👌🏼Dan
Nice joke bro😂..yha bc fold 4 lene m fatti hui h
Soooo many haters on this phone . This video is so accurate. I'm one of the people that this phone works for. I couldn't imagine life without this device. I use it to it's full potential. Fold 3, Fold 4 and now Fold 5. The trade ins are so good that I keep getting the new model. People hate and don't realize all the things that are going on with this format . You did a great time explaining. People don't know that they are missing. S23 ultra is Great but not as good as this. Great video.
I just got my fold 5 a couple of days ago. I've been using the S23 Ultra. My main use is for work which is why I first bought a Note way back when. I am still deciding whether to keep this or go back to my S23. I do like using the fold and now I can use it for work when I'm away from my laptop. I've attended Teams meetings, viewed and even edited spreadsheets. Definitely can't do that on my S23. I'd like to keep them both but I really only need one.
You can give me one brother
What did you decide to do? Curious
@@donnamorgan8511 I ended up keeping the Fold 5. The added benefit of being able to do work away from my laptop is why I finally settled on it. But honestly I feel like the S23 Ultra is definitely the way better device for every day use. In just about every way measurable the S23 Ultra beats this device. Camera, Screen Resolution, S Pen Features and Functions, Sound Quality, Battery Life. I don't think I would buy the Z Fold 5 again if I was given the chance. It's a nice device and if you play games and watch RUclips videos or spend a lot of time on social media then it's probably a better choice. In a perfect world I'd have both.
He sold both...@@donnamorgan8511
You're making me want to go and trade in my Note20 Ultra (which I absolutely love) for the Fold 5... Seriously considering it after watching your video! I love how passionate you are...Great stuff 👍🏻 I get so much crap from friends for not having an iPhone and honestly, I do not care...So what if the bubble is green 😂
Samsung users know, they are the best phones on the market for the value and for what you get and functionality ❤
#TheMoreYouKnow
Thanks again for your video, it was lovely to watch 😊
Just traded in my note 20 ultra 😢 for a fold 5. I wasn't sure how I would feel but I'm about 12 hrs into owning it and love it. Haven't used it yet during the day (came in @5pm cst) but so far the reactions I get are crazy. It's the same look people would give when they saw the note for the first time. The fold is quick and responsive. Ultra beautiful display. Superb sound. The hinge improvement sold me. Still sucks not having a built in s pen but the fact that the capability is there, I'm happy. Overall I give this phone a 9.5 out of 10. The only .5 taken away because you have to get used to a slim outer display, but honestly for convenience sake it's not bad so 1/2 a point given back. Get the phone trust me.
Im already considering not needing my Ipad anymore bc this phone really is perfect.
I'm here watching on my Galaxy Z Fold 5 I freaking love this phone
Same. Haha
Same😊
😊me tooooooo I love it❤
Mee❤
Its crap. I have it. U cant message with screen closed as the keyboard is too small and screen too narrow. I'd swap it for s23 anytime
You are the best youtuber to review phones. Always unbiased and giving perspectives and information that most do not. Well done
Amazing video indeed! Precise, on point, short, and no fluff! Well done, sir.. 👍 Now, if I could only decide between the S23 Ultra and this lol
I would say go for the S23 Ultra, unless you need the multitasking.
I personally don't own a fold or flagship but still as I'm going to buy one pretty soon I'll suggest you to sort your work if something like a tablets works better for you than a phone then go for Fold and if you don't need 2in1 phone + tablet formfactor don't go for fold for the sake of it coz you can afford it. Just remember foldables are fragile and more expensive to repair than a regular phone. I might sound rude but this is the best way i can advice you. This is how someone with a foldable explained me if i really wanted one
Got z flip 5 for my wife and fold 5 for me. Absolutely loving them both. A departure from candy bar phones. Still plenty to explore in flex mode as this is our first foldable form factors.
My spouse and I have that exact combination. Great phones!
My girl has the z flip and I’m thinking of getting the fold myself. The price is crazy high though. So I wonder how is the battery life improvement of the fold. I currently still use the iPhone 13 Pro and it still last me two days on a single charge since day one.
@@riosaswin6580 the battery lasts me till the night when it hits around 30% mark.
As per the price since I pre-ordered both and traded in my S22 ultra and wife's I Phone 13 pro, I got both the phones for 1100 $ (after converting the currency) along with free samsung official cases for both the phones.
can you provide an update on your experience with the phones? what type of consumers are you and your wife? a reply would help this college student out a lot!
@@spartan16.Both are good in their respective form factor. But most practical is flip. Fold can't be used in open form in general use. The cover display is quite narrow. But ince the inner screen us open then it's all together a different story.
If you are contemplating to buy either of the two, go for flip.
I'm still using my fold 3 and still have 12 months left before its paid, the biggest issue i have with the fold series is the s pen not being incised l included for a device that is 2k a pen should be included, that's like when the note was out not giving a pen with it or not getting one with the ultra devices now which is the only difference between getting the plus and ultra models
The fact that it is smaller in my pocket than my old Note phones, while having an even bigger display when needed as well as still being able to have a pen (I can't not have the pen now after using the Note for best part of a decade), just seals the deal for me. Combined with my 5G unlimited data plan, its become the pocket computer I have wanted for years.
I can say this is 1 of the best videos so far on the Fold5, you've touched on almost everything!👍
No. Not on the case and the stylus
Too overpriced too fragile too lacking so so cameras
My man, you are an amazing narrator and RUclips personality. I smashed that like and subscribe, keep it up.
You are my favorite reviewer now..always wait for your videos...i want to ask one question that currently using s23 ultra which is a beast and i want to try the z fold 5..is it worth considering to upgrade from s23 ultra because there is less capable camera on z fold 5 than s23 ultra.
I wouldn't say it's worth it.
But its quite a different experience.
@@mobiscrub i just want to know that how good the camera on z fold 5 is it bad as no one is talking about the camera on z fold 5
It's not bad... It isn't as good as the s23 ultra.. But for 95% of the things you'll take pictures of, they'll be the same
@@mobiscrub thank you so much for your reply ☺️
Fold 5 is not an upgrade from the S23 Ultra, I'd say if anything its a downgrade. All the fold has going for it is the bigger screen.
Hi mobiscrub i first got my samsung galaxy fold the first model had it for just over 3 years, it finally gave up the ghost. loved the phone ,I now have just ordered the new samsung galaxy fold 5 and looking forward to using it for my work. But after watching your stream and seeing how much more the fold can do ,Amazed me thankyou so much for putting up the stream and it's content's
off what it can do. I am glad i found this information on the fold5 .thankyou.
What about gaming. I mean yeah u talked about it. But does it run the games quickly. Does it run all the games. Does it get heated after playing on it
I don't find it heats up at all. I play games upto 8 hours at a time...every day.
I have iPhone and Samsung since I was little and I find myself liking how fast the iPhones are compared to literally anything I’ve ever used
I purchased the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 in Phantom Black with 512GB. Yesterday, I purchased the $100.00 dollar S Pen from Samsung, and it comes with some great accessories to protect your tablet. I also purchased a protective cover for $42.95 to protect the outer display. I buy all of my 4K UHD movies for my new phone from RUclips instead of Google, especially since they'll no longer be the same after October 5th. I love the phone. Do I wish that I had waited for the iPhone 15? I highly doubt it since I already own an iPhone 14 Pro Max with one terabyte. One of the first things I did was buy insurance for my Samsung mobile phone because it's over two thousand dollars! It is packing some incredible technology!
Hey man. Is the fold 5's display 4k resolution??? Why do you buy movies from RUclips? How can I buy insurance for.fold 5??
I finally pulled the trigger. Watched this afterwards. Loved the content! Coming from an S22 Ultra.
Thanks for covering some of the functionalities and how best to use the phone.. like making notes while watching a video. I dont think i've seen anyone else cover these functions. Keep up the great work!
A fold 5 user ever since it came out, couldn't explain better how using a fold phone truly feels. Really nice video.
How do you feel the crease will be maybe 6 months from now. That's my hesitation
@@donnamorgan8511 Been using the Phone open for like 3 months now, No issues till now.
Great video! I love the Z Fold5. I switched to the Fold2 from iPhone X and am very happy. The productivity is amazing. I didnt think the Fold5 was going to be that great, but I love it after receiving it recently.
How about the camera?
As someone that had the z fold 3 and currently using fold 4, most of the gripes out there are not that noticeable at all during daily use. The crease is barely noticeable once you start to use it and watch videos. When you use a case it doesn't matter if the phone folds flat or not. The case with raised edges is pretty much going to fill in the gap that is left behind. The only thing I wish for is a bigger battery. The narrow front display takes some getting used to, but as a person that wanted the Sony flagship phone that also has a narrow display its not that bad. Other foldable phones that we can get in the use in the U.S. and not have possible carrier issues are not as durable, and for the same price, I'll stick with the fold series of phones.
Oh my gosh if I here one more person moan about the crease. Its a frigging folding phone people with a inner display almost the size of a ipad mini!! This phone is. Absolutely incredible I can't fault it at all. Its super responsive. Jaw dropping to watch it open and close. I get thousands of comments on it. There still super rare in London I hardly see anyone with it. And I love that. I was a iohone user for many many years but they never brought anything exc9to the table each year. Just another candybar design wow wow another candybar. Ued there expensive if you don't shop around. And the covers are very unique it can take weeks to find a cover thst truly does what you want without distracting from the design and form. The crease I dint see at all now truly when i do use my inner screen Its for netflix so I'm watching super rich in depth media you dint see the crease what so ever. And the new hinge o. The 5 is mighty powerful no gap at all now. Less room for dust to get trapped. I've had a foldable now for 6 years or so and not once had a issue with my screen. OK once but thst was due to the heatwave in the UK. My screen started to lift and samsung repaired for free. I don't wrap my phones in cotton but I don't abuse them either I'm aware how pricy it was so I treat it with care. Good strong cover a good hinge protector etc. But these phones are now built for day to day use. And with the custom snapdragon chip a long with the armour frame and the gorilla glass this phone was built to be enjoyed. If you can see the crease your looking at the wrong features.
Great review. It’s final now, I’m picking mine up next week.
I want one...But honestly, I think I have to wait for the 6 next year. Hoping for a slightly bigger front screen and maybe a better camera.
I'm with you i have the s23 ultra but i think I'll switch over
Mine is suppose to be here tomorrow. Glad I saw your video to learn a few things about features.
Purchased Galaxy Watch 4 After Watching Your Videos, Now Waiting for your videos on Galaxy watch 6 💯 Great Videos❤
anything specific that you'd like to know about the watch 6?
I for one love how narrow the front screen and the whole phone is. It is more streamlined than any phone i have had for many years. I like how it fits in more smaller pockets than the bulky phones that are out today.
When Samsung puts the upgradeable SD card back I'll buy it. My husband bought the Z Fold 5 and loves it but is hindered by this Issue, too. He told me to keep my Note Ultra 20 until there's an upgradable SD card option, like my Note 20 Ultra has. Samsung would see a huge boost in sales if they put the upgradeable SD card back. Till then ...
Very true. I missed that when I was reviewing before my purchase. I NEED TO USE SD CARDS IN MY PHONE. I. A PHOTOGRAPHER 😢😢😢
You're so agreeable...! 😃 I don't know why I had never seen you before...! Thank you for the content!! 🙏🏻
I have an s23 Ultra for the pen and the large screen that I can use creatively, but I can see how it'd be amazing if I had the fold to draw my art on!
Great review buddy 👍
Its all about multitasking on the move and effectively working production
I got my wife the flip5 and me the fold 5. It's her first folding phone and my second. Coming from the fold 3. I love this phone. All the features you think you'll never use, you'd be surprised at how many you will. It was a no-brainer for me cause of the trade-in and storage upgrade with the pre-order. So yeah. This phone is a gem.
Does the flip and does the external screen on the z support the s-pen?
@David-iq1kd the flip dones not support s-pen at all, and the folds inside screen only supports it.
@@sinsofvorador Thanks!
Your accent is perfect! This are the most funniest review I've ever seen.
Wow❤ it similar to my fold 4. the desire to switch on so intense. Don't know how long can take it.
I just got my Z Fold 5. Love it very much.
Nice impressions as always❤ As a new unique video idea - Could you make 'Fold 5 with Galaxy watch as a companion' video . As I think as devices are getting bigger n bigger they need a good companion smart watch experience so a real life review would be osm
Best explanation yet for this device! Keep it up sir! 🤙❤️
i d ve liked 2 things : The folded aspect ratio is a bit narrow and long.. would rather have it to be similar to the "regular" slightly wider form factor as seen in conventional smartphones and folding out to even bigger form factor say 8" or 8.5" .. secondly an inbuilt holster for the S Pen like note series and the current S series Ultra versions with similar functionalities. hope samsung brings into their next fold version!
This is something top youtubers will never ever tell you. Great content 👏🏻
Have been using iPhone for the past few years, finally decided to switch to the Z fold 5. AWESOME user experience. Love it 🎉
Me too. Switched from iPhone 14 pro max to fold 5.
@@bilkiskadri3450do you miss the iphone? I also have the 14 pro max and want to switch but always end up not doing it last minute.
Good review right to the points.
Can you comfortably read most books on Fold 5's larger screen? Or is a larger tablet or 2-in-1 more suited for book reading?
You really paid attention to the specs and mentioned things other people on RUclips didn't. good job going research
Waiting for them to make a different aspect ratio, something that looks like a "Note" from the front.
Your videos are great man, l never miss a single one ❤👍👌
Extremely well presented! Very smoothAND informative.
I have z fold 3, but I might wait until the z fold 6, they might change the size of the small screen.
loooove your review. very informative. I was having doubts about whether Fold 5 is worth its price. Thanks for boosting my confidence on this choice.
Great Review you got it! Love my Fold 5
Oh, that must feel super good!
Got it this week... growing on me quickly.
Switched to the Fold 5 after owning every single iPhone since the first. I'm blown away with how much I love this thing
I'm blown away how many people waste money on it
@@DENVEROUTDOORMAN😂
All excellent points and the reasons I use it.
I'm glad i upgraded from note 20u to fold 5 instead of s23u. Wasn't excited to get the s23u tbh. Happy with the fold 5
I got fold 5 about a week ago. And my favourite thing is writing on the large screen. The keyboard is so good. I can write and do emails so easily.
The problem with fold and flip phones is the outdated chip that is always replaced with a new and better one in the galaxy S line just a few months after the folds go on sell
I do not comment often, but I had to pause the video (I will finish I have 3 min left). I truly appreciate your perspective and insight. I am enjoying the segemnt about how apps are adapting to enhance the productivity and overal experience of these folding phones. You got yourself another subscriber. I look forward to going through your other videos. God bless you bro.
I bought the z fold 5. It is really expensive, I also upgraded it to 512 gigs because I use a lot of gigs. I wish my mobile carrier provided the one even higher. I would have gotten it. I feel it's worth the money. I wish I knew how to use all the features you just demonstrated. I'm learning the basics so far. Thank you for the information. Do you have a video demonstrating how to use the advanced features of the phone?
Great review! Thank you for sharing all the points that go beyond just specs.
I switched from an S22 Ultra. No regrets so far, the inner screen is beautiful. I hope they make an "Ultra" version with a built in S pen and a bigger front screen
how's the crease so far?
@@maxborn7400 It's practically invisible, it's only visible at an angle as of now
I actually switched from s22 ultra. Fold 5 is amazing.
Never
Thats a downgrade not an upgrade. U lost out on the inbuilt spen with bluetooth functionality, better cameras all around and even dust resistance. Also the 4400 mah battery against the 5000 in the s22 ultra
Iva had my fold 5 a few weeks now and i just wanna say the narrow cover screen actually works out well for just basic phone stuff and the crease is so much less noticeable than i thought it would be while watching something. Even if you look at an angle so you can see it it doeant seem to distort the image at all.
I also like the thickness of it when folded...i cant explain why but it pleases me...maybe just cause making them as thin as possible has been the trend for so long now.
I love my fold 5. But only problem is outer display. Because of the Aspect ratio
Couldn't be happier with narrow screen and ease of using it single handedly
@@hamster_96 I agree - I think one of the advantages of the Fold5 is the aspect ratio / form factor of the outer screen.
Great Review dear. to the point and soft narration makes you unique and stand out of crowd. my good wishes
It looks great, but the outer screen being too narrow and no S-Pen support, no S-Pen slot, small battery and camera system "outdated" vs. S23 Ultra, it's simply a no brainer for me!
I'll wait until some of these current deal breakers are implemented, until then I'll keep on playing on my S22 Ultra which is still a beast!
Totally agree.. but that taskbar functionality and the ability to work 3 apps on the screen, plus a 4th floater.. it's so much easier and pleasing on the fold! I'm fine with the outer screen which lends to easier one hand usage for quick txts and calls. Been using both and still undecided on which to keep..
I returned mine and ordered the s23 ultra
@@maverickmig211 curious on why you returned the fold ?
Hi brother, superb 👍. Decent language, to the point & accurate info, which is very useful to the viewers. You have the potential to become a great teacher
Nice breakdown, thank you.
Is the z fold screen compatible for trading in equity, with trading charts and other information good to view
Thank you for talking about work productivity and performance using Excel or PDFs. We are all not all content creators and having a phone that can also cater to other professions is key
Saw the likes at 999 had to put you at 1k.. great video production is fire
I have z fold 4...it's not all rosy as you claimed..not even 1 year and the inner screen detached and got dead pixel mark inside...when try to claim warranty, excuses after excuse were given until I complained to higher level...
Hi … what did you have to do .. I am going through the same thing .. my inner screen protector came off and now I have a dead pixel … waiting for Samsung to pick it up for repair…
Absolutely love this vid, pointed out things I never knew as well, while im waiting a couple of weeks to get it.
First time seeing your video and.. You are the best reviewer man
hands down
Does the Pokémon TCG live app work on the center screen?
I love my z fold 4 and will DEFINITELY buy the newest one when I upgrade. Great phone and small tablet, all in one.
Great review! Many thanks!
