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.
Great content. in order for me to switch, the fold main screen has to have gorilla glass.
Portland, JAMAICA in the Building!!!
Where do you get the wallpaper from on the phones?
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 made the same change/upgrade and was also skeptical at first for everything that I'm "sacrificing" but have enjoyed it for the past week or so
My girl made the upgrade from s21U and the areas you mentioned are all upgraded for what you get!.. you lose the 100x zoom but the camera is great!!!.. and you have 8k! The battery gets you through a day with moderate use! Great phone!!
The cameras on the Fold 5 is FAR better than the S21 Ultra and competes (and most of the time beats) the S23 Ultra. Don't say 'no it doesn't' because I own ALL of these devices. It stomps the 14 pro max in still photos.
Same experience when I left my note 20 never looked back. I still want Samsung to get the s pen inside the device
I'm going to do the same!!! In 1 month switching from S21 Ultra to Fold 5 and I can't wait!!!!
Never judge a book by its cover. Always wait, get it in your own hands and test drive it. The fold 5 is magical. Get one if you can. It's remarkable.
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
Honestly, Z Fold 5 is on another level. I feel like I'm carrying a Phone + Tab + Laptop! I upgraded from Note 9. Initially I had plans to shift to the IPhone 15! No regret!
It's the other way around for me, I've been on the Note series for years, but I'll probably switch to the iPhone. Samsung disabled the use of Samsung Notes on Windows computers not long ago and that was one drop too many. I used Samsung Notes exclusively, now I am left out in the cold. Rotten move by Samsung, now it is only enabled for Galaxy books.
@@roberts.4261 Switching to IPhone? You have to double think, especially after using Note series so long!
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.
@@AlexanderNevermind888 I was setting up my new Fold 5 and was really amazed by the new Android features and customizations. Those who are status conscious saying Samsung is for poor, Z Fold is already more expensive than Apple top end IPhones. And, what these new Android phones can do are just amazing stuffs!!
@@roberts.4261I can't imagine a Note user being happy with an IPhone. That's a huge leap backwards.
I upgraded to the fold 5 coming from the S21 Ultra. I honestly love this phone.. particularly because of it being slim. Its a lot easier to hold one handed. Typing doesn't seem to bother me much. In fact, i find myself making less mistakes compared to my S21 Ultra. Im typing this comment unfolded and dont see any issues with it.
Made exactly the same upgrade a week ago.. So glad I did! I just need a decent, as slim as possible case for it.
I've been an iphone user since the og and today I picked up the z fold 5, it is insane how easy it is to love this device. I strictly bought this device to pair with my 14 pro max. I wanted a media consumption device while travel instead of my iPad
Best choice I've ever made
I switched from S22 Ultra to the Z Fold 5, and I must say, I am not missing my S22 ultra. The Fold 5 is magical
Nice! Glad you’re enjoying it
@@CJKnowsTECH Thank you CJ
Coming from Fold 4, Fold 5 does feel more sturdy and the battery life is better.
I was skeptical, too, going from the note 20 ultra to the fold3 with such a smaller outside screen, but now I can't live without the fold. Traded my 3 for a 4 and now 4 for 5. Every time, getting a little better. I'm really hoping they put the s pen inside for the 6. Really digging the slim case and smaller s pen, which I have always used since my 3.
Literally all the same. I had Note20 Ultra and actually held onto it and got the Z Fold3, then upgraded to the 4 (almost didn't but I saw it in person while pre-orders were still live and the 3mm on the cover screen made a big difference typing-wise), and pre-ordered the 5 since the trade-ins were great in the states, plus I have a student account.
@nateskool right? Lol. Great trade in credit plus Healthcare discount for me. When i figure, I only paid about $600 when i traded in the 3 for 4 and then got $1000 credit for the 4 trade in...it was a no brainer....👍I kept my note 20 ultra, also, just in case. Now it's my kiddo's phone. Lol
Lol I would have stuck with the fold 3. The trip to the shop isn't worth the free upgrade 😅
@ScottPaulConley @nateskool. Same as yall. From the Note 20U to the Z Fold 3. Took a second to get used to the smaller screen but in love with it now and don't want to go back. Still on the 3 but hoping for the 6 to upgrade and have the s pen housed inside the phone
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 . 😮
No dust resistance?
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…
I love it! From the cover screen to the inside, it's sleek and beautiful. No complaints whatsoever. I am one of the lucky ones who is not prone to error on typing on the front screen. The battery as you said, is very subjective. I personally don't care cause we are at a time where there are pocketable power banks anyways.
Nice! Glad you enjoy it
i was gonna get this, but in the UK, the trade in offers were £100 less than the fold 4, and no free watch was offered, and the price increased by £100. Literally about to buy a fold 4 for abt £1250 instead :)
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.
You can also get a pixel 7 Pro, tablet, watch and buds for less than the price of a fold 5. So what's your point?
@@lightningjack27I think his point is you can get multiple devices for the cost of one folding device.
I am glad to hear someone else coming to the same logical conclusion as I have. The only foldable I find truly useful, save for a niche crowd, is the Z Flip. That's my personal opinion. I implore anyone who wishes to purchase the vertically folding phones to truly enjoy the them if that's their thing.
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😂
I can’t wait to get mine. I’m going from an Apple 13 pro max to an Android Samsung Fold 5 😬 I never thought I’d make this change. We will see how it goes when I get it in a couple days. Wish me luck. I love how this phone looks 🥰 I’m in love!
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.
I have the s23 ultra and to me battery is more important and also that UHD 60 HDR 10 video is incredible. I just miss the micro sd card. For z fold 6 or 7 they have work to do making front the screen wider , s pen inside, better camera , better battery etc
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
Google pixel fold user here... 😂 I loved this video. I have had the Samsung fold 2 & 3. I start feeling like you can't go wrong with either phone BUT for me, it's the front bigger screen and the landscape mode for entertainment as soon as you open the pixel fold. I'm sticking with google.
Yes I love the p fold coming from z fold 3. Only issue I have is the brightness outside. But its so great I'll deal with it. Ion be outside like that in the sun.
Im with you man lol@@wakanda4eva
Honestly having owned the fold 4 in the past! It never bothered me I'm the slightest having a narrow display! The only thing that keeps me away from Samsung is their UI experience, that's my personal choice tho. I do love their product but I prefer Google's pixel
They improved the processor but they need a battery size bump to go with it.
Agreed
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.
Users can be unreasonable. The moment Samsung makes the front screen wider, they will complain that it's now hard to use it in one hand. They will also complain that it's no longer as comfortable to hold since it's wider.
It's possible but until they try we won't know for sure. It's a tough balance to find...
I doubt it. From what I've seen, some china based companies (xiaomi) managed to do it just fine
I just feel like Samsungs main reason for having such a slim cover screen is because they want you to use the inner screen. I've watched multiple videos where people admit when they use the pixel fold they find themselves not using the inner screen as much because the cover screen is so usable. At that point there's no need to really have a foldable phone lol
If you want to use the front screen then get a candy bar phone. Is that simple. The fold is made to use the inner screen. That's the whole point.
@@elbirrioso agreed 100%
Exactly.
@@elbirriosoyep outer screen is just for little things like when picking up calls.. when battery is low its use less battery,etc
The extra room on the Fold 5 Chassis should mean better speakers - but this was not the case.
Z fold 5 is a nice upgrade from my fold 3! But I wish outer screen was a little bigger like my Pixel fold
But I think Samsung wants you to use the inner screen more and Google let's you decide what to use
Right!
Yeah, I understand what they're doing but it definitely seems sliiiiightly too thin. If they made it a bit wider they could probably fit a bigger battery and maybe even an integrated S Pen, whilst making the typing experience a bit better.
Coming from the Z fold 3 I can say the z fold 5 is a noticeable upgrade when it comes to the screens, with the form factor being almost perfect. I say almost because I feel that the device just needs to be an extra couple of millimetres wider in diameter.
Going from the 3 to the 5 you definitely notice the refinement over the years
My wife and I just ditched apple for the 5, she's been with apple non stop since iphone 3g and we love it!!! I started with 3g as well but I've gone back and forth. Our 3g is still running the black rain jail break, if it will ever turn on again lol!!
I gave up Z fold 4 due to the cover screen. I totally agreed with your observation. The review is well said and super well done. Super honest.
Respect. Thanks
if u dont use the inner screen that much why buy a fold :?
so I just ordered mine 20 minutes ago. avid Apple ecosystem user but so bored with iPhones lately. I'm looking forward to be able to customize my fold way more and the new fold experience. What launcher are you using for this etc. and can you do a how to customize for this phone?!! thanks so much love the channel.
I'm using Nova Luancher. I do plan on making an updated version, but in the meantime, watch this➡️ ruclips.net/video/ZAKc0KNVxT8/видео.html
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.
I have no problems with it folded swiping. Makes it easier than tapping each thing.
What phone can you watch a video, check you account and pay bills all at once on the same screen?
I honestly wouldn't want it to be much wider. I have giant hands and still have an easy enough time typing on the front screen
Respect thanks for sharing your user experience
Very true what you say, but I still don't think it's enough of an upgrade for me at the moment.
Cj i been rockin for years now but, the title is misleading.. if you were wrong, you were wrong. You spent a good while bashing the width again lol.. it aint for everybody, but it is great for what it is.
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.
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.
I still can't believe that after 5 generations I still can't shoot 4k@60fps with the ultrawide camera
Subscribed. Good review, I've owned a Flip 4 and I still have my Note 20 Ultra, I just traded the Flip today for a Fold 5, I'm excited now
Edit: Still keeping my Note 20 Ultra for photos when I don't have my camera though
Sleek, great in the hand, slick transitions, great battery, refinement, display is dynamic...went from 4 to 5 and this small iteration makes a huge difference. Upgrade and enjoy.
All except great battery. I've had every fold since fold 3 and nope, the z fold 5 doss not have a great battery. It's very identical to z fold 4 battery
Thanks for the re-review. We tend to overlook some stuffs Samsung does as they are already a pioneer. Zf5 is a great piece of tech.❤
BTW, I love Samsung because they are the only company keeping the prices of apple product reasonable.😅
I was debating pre-ordering it and ended up missing the pre-order deadline. I'll just wait for black friday or other sales, or I'll just get tired of waiting for a sale and just buy it.
I had a Samsung galaxy z4 mini that was slim like this and I actually found typing on that easier and more pleasant than typing on these wide screen phones we have today. My pinky did not adapt. Honestly I have bigger hands and my pinky wants to wrap around the phone like it did in the days when texting wasn't a thing.
"I don't have very big hands." Proceeds to palm Las Vegas sphere and dunk it.
I know we here in America land don’t get them but I just recently got exposed to the Chinese foldables by some videos while watching fold 5 content and man.. idk what the software experience is like but hardware wise they’re competing something fierce over there and forcing everyone to go thinner or lighter or better camera and just looking at the form factor it makes the z fold look ancient
What’s your opinion going from a iPhone 12 Pro Max to the fold?
Great review. I disagree that battery life is subjective, simply compare it to the competition. Is it better, equal or less than other similar devices?
Brah! I don't think I have ever commented on your channel, but now is the time!
==> Team Z Fold 5 reporting!
Thank you for your "Brutally Honest Review". Your honest clear explanations, on-point accuracies, combined with just the right combination of entertainment & light comedy is PERFECT. I could truly watch you for twice the length of this video & THAT is saying a lot for RUclips.
Thanks for this & I wish you continued success on your channel....... LET'S GET TO 100K FOLKS!!!!!!
Thank you this comment means a lot
What's good CJ...Question i traded my Z Fold 4 for the 5 and only 643 dollars coming out my pocket. Do you think its worth it?
Can't wait for my Z Fold 5 to arrive, I haven't upgraded in 6 years 😮 going from the Note 8 to this Beast should be fun
Nice! You’ll definitely feel the upgrade for sure. Hope you like it
One thing to add , JerryRigEverything proved that the z fold 5 does infact have dust resistance , just watch his teardown video. It's not listed by samsung but the phone can really take a beating , he failed to crash it :)
This is me trying to type on the slim front panel... not too bad given my big hands lol cool video!
to me i use my phone alot. this phone battery will die quick. plus i believe a $1800 phone should have the best in it . the fold camera is just ok. For that price it should have at least the s23 ultra camera.
As someone that said fuck it and upgraded from the 4, the minor upgrades feel so much better. It's so much better to hold imo, and feels better in my pocket. The screen looks so much better imo and stays much cleaner
I want the fold 5 but don't know if it's worth it wanted a wider screen . Had note 20 ultra almost 3 years still works fine
How you filmed video fully open: can you do that on the Google fold? Thanks man!
I have the s21ultra, thinking about the fold 5. Are they having issues with the screens like they used to from the original fold? Always been worried.
I havs a question about the fold 5. Can you use the s pen to take photos or record video with the cover screen or inner display?
Loving the production of the video KING! Great work. 👑💯
Respect! Thanks
Man I love the video, very informative and I'm super glad I decided to go with this phone. I am coming from a Note 20 Ultra. I was so hesitant but now I'll never look back. If Samsung finally puts the spen in the phone, that'll be a gamechanger.
BTW what Icons are you using? Those just pop on the screen!
Watch this➡️ ruclips.net/video/ZAKc0KNVxT8/видео.html
Hey CJ
The final count was a bit over 400k open close on flip5... Very impressive
also they subjected the Flip to a savage dust test (flour and all sorts) and it continued folding. I think there's minor dust protection but like the One Pluses of old, it can't get the official rating
Facts all Samsung has to do is widen the phone and then they can fit the S23 Ultra Cameras in it. Larger Battery and room to at keast fit that new skinny S Pen in the phone but the Bluetooth S Pen is more ideal.
Great video. Im so happy i got the Pixel Fold. $1000 off with verizon. App optimization will happen soon but either way, most apps i use look great. Honestly, the only issue i have is the weight. The damn thing is a brick. Lol. Wishing you continued success man.
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.
Yeah I'm sitting here with the fold four and I really can't see a reason to do it cuz I have no issues I literally just got this so it still brand new it's like three four months old
Thanks for this. I actually did upgrade from the ZFold4 to the ZFold5 and I'm very happy. For me, the brighter screen, lighter weight, faster processor, and the trade-in value offered by Samsung made it worth it to me.
But more importantly, where did you get the wallpaper or theme?! 😊
I get my wallpapers from wallpapercave
Congratulations 🎉, you bought the same phone twice. The Z Flip 5 definitely got the better upgrade this year.
@@xhorizon0819, uh thanks. Though wasn’t asking for your congrats, validation or comment.
@@mkingviehland You didn't need to ask. Enjoy your new phone 🤳
@@xhorizon0819, as I said, I am.
Think i will upgrade my S22 for this,Im loving the features od this phone.
The Ice Blue version is not exciting. Would love to see a a better chrome or metallic Blue that shimmers.
I am planning to move from iPhone 14 pro max to Samsung z fold 5 any suggestions???
Bro how you get the GW6 AOD, i don't even like using AOD but I like that watch face !?
Is that exclusive blue fold 5 less slippery without a case than the fold 4 was? I'm assuming it would be since the hinge and frame have a matte finish
Still torn from the fold 5 or the Google fold currently I'm still using the pixel 6 pro I love the pixel just can't stand the heating up aspect especially with the heat in Texas
Got my fold 5, I haven't sent my fold 4 back yet and I still can't justify the change. After transferring my data I didn't notice any difference. 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.
Narrow front display works for me. I'd rather not have smaller movie viewing on the inside. Shorten the front and widescreen movies won't scale up as large.
If they kept the height, made the front about 1/8 inch wider, add the skinny SPen inside (and put better glue on the inner screen protector). :-)
CJ, my OCD is telling me to tell you to update the calendar in your room...its August bro😭
LMAO 🤣🤣🤣 I've been waiting on someone to say something 😂
I stated with fold2 I didn't get the one after but just got 5 and I will say I'm pleased. It is noticeable different feel and definitely best phone on market. Ps also a head turner. Get approached about it all the time
Which UI are you using so as to get around 9-10 icons in your cover screen in the fold ??
Thanks for the excellent insight. Seems like all the other content creators have cookie cutter scripts they all follow. Thanks again for having your on thoughts.
I haven't even watched any other reviews to know "the narrative" I can only share my thoughts and experiences. Respect
Great video as always, but Coco wasn’t there. He must have been looking at Ckids S9 Ultras typing skills… 😆
VERY informative and entertaining, exceptional review..👌🏿
Thank you
I feel like im here in the comment section every few days! Lol. Thanks once again CJ. Finally going from my note 20 ultra 😢 to the fold 5 😊. Oh and i gyat to get that 47mm too thanks to your other review on the watch. Much respect
Can i ask what themes are you using?
Watch this➡️ ruclips.net/video/ZAKc0KNVxT8/видео.html
But the underdisplay camera aren't supposed to be used as a selfie camera it's supposed to be used for video chats and video conferences
You mean Samsung forces you to use it for video calls as it sucks too much for anything else. There is a difference between it being designed to be crap because it is just for video calls, and just being crap. I think the reality is the latter.
Luv your videos. Agree on the camera and the battery. I am sure Samsung could do better. My S22 does not get my skin tone right either. It washes me out. But I like the screen size and the plus or ultimate is just too big. I can live with the color as it’s not camera. It’s a phone first. But what really irks me is that we lost the audio port 2-3 yrs back. Bluetooth is just crap even with my iPad - so I know it’s not any one phone manufacturers fault- it’s BT in general.
Everyone wants to make the phone wider but that would increase the overall volume of the phone and make it more uncomfortable to carry in your pocket. Everyone makes out as if it is somehow difficult to open the phone and I just don't get it, even after using the phone. In fact, I only have icons for nine apps on my cover screen. The only time I can conceive of wanting to type on the cover screen is while texting, and in my personal case, my on-phone typing is so bad regardless of screen size that I open the phone and use the S-pen instead.
I think people will accept a bit bulkier Galaxy Fold for a more usable front display. But Chinese OEMs have solved this by making much slimmer designs that counter the weight and bulk issue.
@@andyH_England Obvious, regardless of my opinion, it is obvious that people want a wider front display so Samsung should listen. Even a few mm should make a noticeable difference and should make room for the S-pen. Samsung should also figure out how Honor made their phone so much thinner and replicate it.
Exactly, 07:05 See how he is struggling to even hold Pixel Fold, let alone typing.
Oh Christ Tucker, never rusted. Your comic act still gets me.
Respect. Thanks 🙏🏾
@@CJKnowsTECH pls dont bring aretha into this. Behave.
I broke mine in 2 weeks. And t movie said its warranty but won't warranty it.
Please do a comparison of Honor Magic V2 versus Z Fold 5
Your video is amazing you deserve more great video on the folds and flip
How do you find your wallpapers?
S22 ultra user, waiting for my fold 5, i hope i didn't make a mistake 😅
what icon pack are you using?
I have to make an updated version but Watch this➡️ ruclips.net/video/ZAKc0KNVxT8/видео.html
Loving the zfold 5 right now but the outer screen still to narrow but it's a great phone
Right.
Is the inner screen the same technology as the z fold 3 & 4? I only ask because the screen on my z fold 3 didn't even last a year; started with a black bar along the crease and one half wasn't responsive to touch
It is supposed to be about 35% stronger than the Fold 4 but needs to be as the Fold 4 had a lot of issues.
@CJKnowsTech no argument from me on many comments made in your vid save 1. I DO NOT LIKE THE PIXEL PERIOD. Outside maybe useful but that inner screen is truly sub par. You said it best in my humble opinion. Samsung has set the bar for foldables and every other company has to for the consumer get at the level or surpass Samsung which in turn will cause Samsung to bring thieir A game on the foldablle device. Example S23 Ultra. Enough said. Thanks for the review. Peace
I do nothing on the front screen of z fold 3 . Mines is always open and if it ain't then I open it . I do wish zfold folded like pixel fold .
I could not do anything productive on the front display of the Fold 4 yet I can be far more productive on my Pixel Fold and that made the difference to me.
The Galaxy Fold phones is the first Samsung phone where the software is ahead of the hardware. The Chinese phones have better hardware but they can't match Samsung's software.
just got mine in a few days ago...such a great phone
