      Z Fold 5 Team 100% geting mine tommorow! I have an S23 Ultra, so im curious to see the transition. I review Samsung phones, and ever since having the Fold 4 ive wondered what itll look like, sadly nothing new, but im glad about the extra brightness and new hinge! I subbed btw, this video was so well made. Definently an inspiration.

    Moving from the S21 Ultra to the Fold 5 was something I never thought I'd do. I was sacrificing camera, battery life, and overall ergonomics. But as soon as I started using it, it really is a game-changer on how phones are used. As an architect, this phone is something that fits my job and personality.

    I'm glad I decided to stick with the Fold 5 vs the pixel fold. I actually enjoy using the inner display vs the pixel fold. The lack of app optimization on pixel and the only form of multitasking being able to run two apps at once compared to the fold 5 is more noticeable than I thought. The speakers are MUCH better on the Fold 5 as well. Although I prefer the cleaner experience of pixel, They still have a bit of work on optimization

      After seeing Samsung, year after year, come up with one innovation after another, there's NO WAY I would even dream of going to a stale iPhone. If you look at iPhones from the iPhone 7 up to the current 14, they all look and work the same with only slight modifications. The only thing Apple has done is improve the cameras. Meanwhile Samsung has given us the S-pen of the Note series, and now the Flip and the Fold. I have been with Samsung since the original Note series. Now I'm on the Fold 5. I will be with Samsung until they prove they have nothing left to give me.

    I've been hooked since the 3, had the 4 . Not huge improvements, but after 4 days of use . Brighter screen , better hinge (opening feels much better, With a notable slap sound , stronger ) , personally loving the slim s pen case . (Never liked any case options for the 3 or 4 , and hardly used it . having the phone fold flat is also a.huge deal , your right hinge is the most essential part of this phone and samsung has really refined every year.
    For any of its downsides , slim front screen , photo lens , battery . The experience and tech is a thing of my wildest 1994 childhood dreams. I use the folds as my daily , and have had zero problems durability wise . I work in a pizzeria and flour inevitable, and en masse makes it into my work pants . Never had a problem with the 3 or 4 .
    With the 6 I hope we get a wider display outside, bigger battery , s pen silo , top camera specs (top of then line phone Sammy!) , creaseless display . Samsung has 5 years of z fold , and each iteration has improved on the last imo . Such a dope phone, I settled for icy blue , but almost pulled the trigger on the color you got , looks dope.
    It's better than the Google pixel imo . And Apple has been releasing the same phone for 7 or 8 years now . 😮

    Some of things you mentioned that you do on the outer screen quickly are either better or fine on the narrower aspect.
    Phone calls? Much easier to hold a narrow phone than a wide one. It’s why I hate holding my iPhone 14 Pro Max up to my head for a call.
    Quick check of notifications? Easier with an easier to hold screen.
    The challenge is really if you want to do a bunch of texting one-handed with the phone closed…

At that point there's no need to really have a foldable phone lol

    I have pixel fold, fold 5 and s23 ultra and I can honestly say that each phone has its own niche but pound for pound the s23 ultra takes the cake! Outside of folding it wins in every category! One thing folds win in hands down is when open it up and everyone is blown away by it! Fold 5 much better than it gets credit for but the ultra will be the best option. You can get a pixel 7pro, tablet, watch and buds for less than the pixel fold. Lastly if you plan on getting s24 ultra you don't want to lose money trading in the fold for it.

    Z fold 4 user since pre order. My solution for the outer display typing experience was to learn how to install and use Goodlock, and learn how to use Keyboard cafe in theme park which allowed me to edit and design the Samsung keyboard to the size and placement that works for me. I don't swipe type. I type by actually typing the letters. Hope this helps some one.
    Another cool thing I enjoy is the z3flip app. I set up a routine which uses the z3flip app each time my phone is folded, so it keeps count of how many folds I do daily, and how many folds I do total since I installed the app.
    These have been big quality of life changes for me.
    Also, my phone don't over heat with all the multitasking I do😂

    Your take on it and mine as far as the narrow front screen, lackluster cameras and battery life are spot on. Widen the phone body just a little and add better S-series cameras, and a 5k or 6k mAh battery, and incorporate the S-Pen into the devise and Samsung would have the perfect phone. Those 3 changes would blow the doors off the sales.
    I am running the Fold4 now and I'm upgrading to the Fold5. The reason it the Fold4 in having overheating issues that are causing the phone to shut down. If you don't get it off the charger within a couple minutes of it reaching 90% it shuts down. The phone will not even accept a 100% charge. If you use the big screen to watch videos or play games, it shuts down within 20 to 40 minutes. If you carry the phone in your pocket, it shuts down from body heat even if the phone is not in use.
    I contacted Samsung and they said they would not be able to repair that type of problem. Their solution was to not charge the phone fully, and to avoid using the main screen, Don't play any games, and don't carry the phone on your person. What in the holy hell do they think people spend $2,000 to buy a phone like this for? They buy it to use!!! They said to store the phone in a cool place, but it even shuts off in an airconditioned room or car. I'm thinking the problem is either the battery, or the CPU is overheating, or that it's not overheating at all, but the sensors are telling it that it's overheating and shutting the phone off. Once it shuts off, it takes an act of congress to turn it back on. You usually have to put it in the refrigerator and over cool it to get it to get past the boot up stage. The Fold5 is supposed to have a 38% bigger cooling chamber and better temp management.
    I may be a fool for thinking the same thing with the Fold5 will get a better result... I think they call that insanity. If the result is the same and they don't stand behind their product any better than they have, they will be talking to my lawyer about it. Been a Samsung fan for 12 years now, but they are border line to losing a customer.
    If anyone else has had overheating issues, I'd like to know. Thanks

    As a fan of the iPhone mini form factor, the cover screen is a bit tall, but the perfect width. I wouldn't want to see it go much wider. The benefit of foldables is that we get both the slim and wide form factor in one device. Once you start to get to width like the Pixel fold, the benefits are gone.

    Im not sure about how good the quality difference between the fold 5 compared to the fold 4 however, the durability of the fold 4 is plagued with issues specifically the main display has a tendency to crack along the crease making the key point of these devices inoperable. Ive had to get my fold 4 replaced twice now, the first issue i had was with the charging port not working properly as well as the power button not turning on the outer display when pressed as well as a glitchy os. Then my second fold 4 after 4 months under normal use the main display cracked on the seam creating a black spot where it spiderwebed and made the main display inoperable, and when i tried to get the device replaced Samsung and their service center not only refused to honor their manufacturer warranty the service center acused me of damaging the main display due to operator error and refused to replace the phone forcing me to use my insurance, the device was on backorder for so long they offered me an s23 ultra with similar specs and i won't go back to another folding phone unless they fix the screen cracking issue as I'm not the only one who's had this issue, phone repair shops in my area alone have seen 3-4 of fold 3-4 coming in weekly because of the same exact issue

    The whole point of buying a foldable phone is the large screen. If you want to use the fold 5 closed then stick with the S series phones. For me the front screen is for calls, checking notifications and taking photos, when I want to view my photos or reply to someone I open the larger screen. I think the majority of people use their phones two handed and usually one finger typing. I upgraded from the S21 ultra. I don't understand why anyone other than reviewers would upgrade such an expensive phone after less than a year.

    All they have to do is turn it sideways and make it close that way creating a passport size fold like Google Pixel fold. Also when you open it allow you to have it in any orientation. This should be easy for Samsung.

    Fold 5 is no doubt a great device, but it's not worth upgrading from the Fold 4. At all. The only reasons why anyone would go from 4 to 5 is FOMO and always needing to have the latest and greatest. Classic American materialism.
    Again, the Fold 5 is a great phone for anyone with a Fold 2 or 3, or anyone who hasn't entered the foldable world yet. But anyone going from a Fold 4 to a Fold 5 is just coping and trying to justify their FOMO purchase.
    Fold 4 users should be waiting for the 6, or waiting for a competitor.

    Agree with your take on battery life that it can be different for everyone. Coming from the base S22, battery life appears to be not great, but amazing. I seem to be getting about 7-9hrs of SOT (as a light user). Would be lucky if I got 4hrs on the S22.

    • @andyH_England
      @andyH_England Год назад +1

      Unfair to use the base S22 as an example as that used a Samsung-made chip and they are the worst chip fabricator. All flagships are TSMC this year so are 33% better at least.

Apps and games loaded nearly identical despite the fold 5 having ufs 4.0. I also noticed the sound clarity and bass out of the fold 4 sounds better. The 5 is lighter, but not by much. Also, the hinge is debatable. The fold 4 hinge feels better imo. I'm a spend one more day with it to test outside. But as of right now I feel like I bought the same dam phone twice.

    As a Pixel Fold Owner I must say, Great Video CJ! And I must say It wasn't enough of an upgrade for me to go from the Z Fold 4 to the 5. But.... I miss Screen video record, The Blue Tooth S Pen from the Note line, and Photo Gallery Optimization because with Google it takes better photos and you can take those photos and enhance them to even better photos but Google slaps your photos in the app with no Album create just scrambled in their for you to find it. No Photo Gallery app is beating Samsung! But I Love that with the Pixel Fold you only open the phone when you need to or feel like it. With the Z Fold you are always opening the phone because the front screen is useless. Can they combine both with a 6000 mAh battery so I can be 100% satisfied. Even though I am I'm just saying all Foldables and all phones need 6000 mAh batteries. It's time for it in 2024. Hopefully
