Hey there, thanks for checking out my Z Fold 5 unboxing and Pixel Fold comparison. Pre-order details in the description, full Pixel Fold review coming early next week, Z Fold 5 in a couple weeks! P.S. small typo in the camera specs, it's a 10MP telephoto camera. Cheers!
I own a fold 3 for 2 years now. At first I bought it because it was a nice gimmick and i wanted to try it. I didn't really like the small outer screen at first. But in the past 2 years the fold stick to me. The outer screen became handy and with the learning keyboard, i can type quick with one hand. I never thought I was going to buy a fold again but for me it is unthinkable to switch back again to a "normale" phone.
I was the same with my fold 3 but after 2 years I need that front screen to be bigger. It nice to hold it one handed for the basic things like playing music, samsung pay etc. using it for more things I want a big screen. I'm a note user. big screen is nice but it not like I'll use that walking around full opened.
@DGundam90 I can understand that completely. I did own a note prior and they are excellent. At least in my opinion. So I did test the pixel too and even then I did prefer the smaller outer screen from the fold. I know that most people disagree
@@kdubspencer3390 I never used it much, unless I'm travel and wanna watch the movie. other then that I used the front screen more. I would say it that hard, I'm a note user I do miss using the pen.
Same. If the outer screen was wider I would've gone with the fold. Now I'll probably just get an S23 ultra instead. I wish we had the honor magic v2 globally.
Maybe a few mm only. I like that it is comfortable to use with 1 hand coz if you're gonna use 2, might as well use the main screen. Look at his hand acrobatics in 3:19 .
@@hadmos855 I had the Z Fold 4 for about 4 months before selling it and buying the S23 Ultra. The Fold is a fantastic phone but the outer screen is just not wide enough. As a result of this the keys on the keyboard are extremely close together and you inevitably get lots and lots of typo's, at least I did. I use my phone a lot for business and the alternative was to use it fully unfolded all the time. I had real concerns about doing though due to battery drain. The S23 is a fantastic phone and I really do not regret my decision. If and when Samsung offer a folding device with a regular size front screen I will buy one immediately. For the life of me I cannot understand why they make the front screen so skinny.
Price aint bad if you soak up the deals and pre-order. Right around $2k for Fold 5 with 512mb, buds 2 pro, watch 6 classic 47mm LTE, and s pen case with screen protector is what I got. I also keep my phones longer than most, been using a note 10+ and watch 3 for 4 years. Will be a nice upgrade.
Nice I got the same minus the watch and I'm also upgrading from a Note 10+ I've had it almost 4 years and I'm getting my wife the flip 5. These will be our first fold phones 💪🏻😎
@@Anastassssssssssssss Samsung store pre orders and discounts on said items, 10% off first responder, $65 trade in on my watch 3. I was shocked and pleased when I added it all up to say the least.
Pre ordered the z fold 5, pixel fold doesnt fold completely flat and that really bothers me, aspect ratios for apps arent optimized as well on the pixel fold. Plus the samsung trade in deals and preorder bundles are great and make the z fold 5 an easy choice
I like the form factor of the fold 5. Easier to hold one hand. Basically like a remote control. Wide enough to do some basic tasks and the software in it is miles ahead of the pixel. Looks more premium too with that minimal bezels
Ordered my zfold5 yesterday after having the flip3 for two years. I love my flip3, but I play games with my kids, and having a bigger screen for the multitasking mode will be great.
Google really dropped the ball with the software, app optimization and customization. Samsung is still lightyears ahead of Google in terms of all the above when it comes to foldables. I actually really enjoy the form factor of the Fold. I'm just really shocked Samsung didnt at least slap the cameras from the S23+ on the Fold 5.
Do you use s pen on fold? Because I don't like to work with the s spen and the fold in the screen. It just don't work that well when writing or drawing. For me it isn't
Great Video. As an all-time iPhone user, who has dreamed about foldable devices, I've finally made a choice. The hinge switch from > to - & the brightness did it for me.

(If only I had enough credit to buy directly from Samsung, RIP.)
@amirhaynes6016 This was bought for me as a gift. I miss iphone sometimes so I put my sim back in but within a day or two I'm back on fold. My main two gripes are 1] no matter what keyboard I install, nothing beats apples keyboard 2] it feels really heavy
@@Peach_iced_teaa I will also be keeping my iPhone incase I miss it.. I have an galaxy s9 work phone and the keyboard just doesn’t feel right 😅 I think I’ll have to force myself to get use to it!
Great comparison the Samsung is definitely more seasoned when it comes to the inner display/multitasking etc..but i think google a few updates away from giving it a real compatition and dat front display def a win for google.
The Pixel Fold's speakers are setup so that they are stereo in any orientation. One top left, one bottom right. No matter how you hold it there's a speaker left and right.
There should 4 speakers, and 2 of them mute when folded. This way you're surrounded by sound without telling where exactly it's coming from. Most good tablets have 4 speakers for this.
I'm getting the z fold 5 :) my current phone is the s21 plus which I am due an upgrade from the beginning of August so perfect timing for me. Plus I can finally play all the other games on my youTube channel which my current phone can't handle too well without it getting super hot. So I can't wait to upload my mobile gameplays :)
Ive enjoyed the z fold 3 , 4 and now the five . Very curious for one plus open . Google fold has a nice form factor in theory , still feels like a prototype phone from them , much akin to the samsung OG fold . Shorter and wider , with spen housed in body , and functionality on both screens will truelly be something special in whatever iteration it comes from samsung . Till then , for all of its short comings with the tall narrow front display (which ive become quite used to over the last 2 years ) the fold series is truly something to behold , and never stops wowing me when i open and close this thing . Truely some future tech come to life . Love your videos and cheeky little accent, cheers mate . ✌️
"Daddy, I'm hungry. Why don't the lights work? Is that why mummy has gone to stay with granny?" "BE GONE CHILD, FOR I AM SPENDING TIME WITH MY NEW PHONE"
I wanted pixel so bad. The lack of pencil felt like a compromise i was willing to look by. Them not using samsungs screen record feature where you just tap a button to stop recording instead of having to pull the notibar was a slight annoyance. But what was the real deal breaker was apps not using the full size of the inner display. Not implementing scaling in your device to force devs to natively support your aspect ratio is ridiculous. Yes that will help customers who get the next pixel fold but current customers are basically beta testers. Too expensive for all that. Im sadly going the z fold 5. Was going to go with the oneplus fold until i see the green screen/line issue theyre dealing with right now
You do know that those apps that don't scale to landacape mode does scale to portrait mode if you turn the pixel ? The portrait mode scaling is supported which is the dimension of z fold. If you open up the pixel fold and turn it, you get your edge to edge apps scaled.
It's a consideration of "continuity" actually. Because of pixel fold's formfactor, the app need to change from portrait to landscape instead of just stretching like zfold. It's much more difficult to "force" on unsupported apps.
@hardyanjan121986 then id be hold the phone sideways. Its a big phone. Thats a flaw. Cant be giving then excuses. Because no matter how i used to turn my z fold 3, that screen was full
@MrRight0930 its not. Because that was once every app on samsung because no one in the industry took foldables seriously. Stop the excuses. Samsung made it happen as an experimental feature initially. Google can make it happen.
This is how I decided. Which screen am I going to use the most? Am I going to sit on the couch and use the front screen? In addition I work from home. So, I don't necessarily have to use the front screen as much. My second data point in my decision was can I type on the device that I prefer to have open and look at for a longer period of time? I found that I could type on both. So I picked the Samsung because it's got the better inner screen.....SPEN And DEX!
Had a chance to compare the fold 5, pixel fold, and surface duo 2. Fold 5 wins generally and is much more pocketable and easier to handle when folded. The wider form factors when folded mean you end up with a wider phone, which somewhat defeats the purpose of a foldable phone.
Samsung got it right on the cover screen, keeping it minimal, unlike other brands, giving a reason to unfold the phone and keeping the concept of a foldable design 👌
I am a fold user. I was happy you covered the video play back on both. I feel you are the only one. It would have been nice if the side by side would have been the same video!
God, you crack me up with your reviews.....and you say things like 'Zed' rather than 'Zee'....and quote prices in your 'OWN' currency...and for that, you deserve a massive pat on the back and a Sub...Top Man 👍
My fold 3 broke down after only about a year of use, I got the black screen of death after just a year so now I can't even use it if it's unfolded, the fingerprint also stopped working, and the charging port went out so now it only charges using wireless charging.. Makes me really skeptical about the fold 5 and really just Samsung in general..
Great video. Think I'm sticking with my Fold 4 for now. I did pre-order the 5 through my carrier but I end up paying basically the same amount on a plan that I am right now. It just doesn't make any sense. So I'll stick with what I've got and wait for either it to break or completely die before I think about getting a different phone.
Zero crease,no gap hinge the current one is not fully gapless,wider front screen with thinner symmetrical bezels on both screen,better water and dust resistantance,better battery.
Its weird how people complain about the fold being to narrow, im a big dude with large hands and love the fact i can use the phone with one hand no problem.
Wrong..the crease is less noticeable on z fold5 compared to the z fold4.. I put my hands on z fold 5 at my local Bestbuy yesterday and it is Lighter in weight and the screen gets brighter and the crease was DEFINITELY LESS NOTICEABLE, U can almost not see it or feel it... and could not see or tell the inner screen protector was there... this is compared to the z fold4.. I'm actually impressed about the crease being less noticeable..😮😁👍WOW.. the s pen and the case is also nice and light and flat/thin..
Traded my Fold 3 512MB for the fold 5 1T. Got a really good deal with the watch classic 6 included. Got almost 1000 pounds off. Looking forward to these
Have the z fold 3 previously, break down within a year, sent for repair then break down again within 6 months(thou i admit i did drop the phone couple of times)...then got myself S23 ultra, now less than a year using it, i was lure by the big screen of foldable again n just preordered the Z fold 5...hopefully it will be a lot more lasting than my old z fold 3.
I was leaning more towards the Pixel Fold cause of the external wider screen but the Z Fold 5 is more polished and I can manage to live with its narrow front screen.
I was watching one of your videos and the truth you are just as good as the best of them. What they all have common is their appeal to adults. Love the jokes, the socks, and most of all detailed professional reviews. Keep it up ..forget the haters . See you at 3 mill subs
I want switch to pixel fold. I was waiting to see if fold 5 any different but it the same design and camera hardware as the 4. So pixel fold it is as I love the outer wide display can be used as normal phone
@josephg6393 how can you be waiting to see if the fold 5 is any different when we knew it would be like this months ago, what where you waiting for exactly, the leaks were out months
I know the initial specs of the camera are the same as the z fold 4, but I really hope they upgraded the camera module that they are using. If not, the Google pixels cameras are absolutely going to destroy this phone.
After testing the z-fold 5 out myself, I can say that the camera software has definitely had some improvements and taking pictures has significant less lag, but the photos really aren't that much of an improvement over the z-fold 4. The Google Pixel fold still takes consistently takes Better pictures.
Had The Fold 3, Fold 4 And Pre-Ordered The Fold 5 As Soon As I Could.. Couldnt Not Have A Fold Now.. Got An Update From My Courier Earlier Today And Its Coming Tomorrow!! A Week Ahead Of Schedule!! 😊
my fold 5 arriving manana...can't wait! looks like it will be a bit of fun,checked out a few different non samsung cases, like the kickstand option, and screenprotector..not sure if the screen protector is needed..but hey we will give it a try. thanks for the review, your entertaining commentary is awesome!
I wanted the pixel fold till I seen it wasn't as capable as galaxy.. I'm a pixel and galaxy fan.. don't no why I had high hopes for Googles first foldable anyway lol
Glad they didn't upgrade the z fold too much from last year. Means I'm not getting jealous and can go another year with my z fold 4. Awesome phone, for me it's as close to a perfect device as I could imagine. Better battery is pretty much all I could ask for.
I pre-ordered the Fold 5, upgrading from the Galaxy S22 Ultra. I played with it at the store for a few minutes, I don't regret my purchase yet. We'll see. Lol
I'm interested to know, can you use the Cover screen as a handsfree option for viewing videos and utilise the "selfie" cam for Skyping & Zooming ? Or does the phone automatically change to the inside screen when it's opened up? If it automatically defaults to the inside screen, can you change that ? Thanks!
So glad i got the Pixel Fold. Soooooo happy with it. Just wish the casez werent so expensive. Ended up getting the Pitaka Mag Safe case amd its excellent (Keeps the Pixel Fold as slim as possible)
I am not a FOLD type of user but the FILP is a genius gadget to me.. SAMY was always my choice till the NOTE to ULTRA switch happened then I went ahead trough some XIAOMIs, HONORs, and some other new comers.. Now I am on the MOTO RAZR 40 ULTRA and I must confess that this device is the best gadget that an OEM can offer to a customer, the FLIP5 will play catch up this year.. 🎉
My preferences are for Fold. Many people point at the narrow screen and how bad it is because it is narrow. I have small hands so it is just perfect to hold in one hand. I can even type with 1 hand, which is not really possible with wider phones. This was enough for me to switch from Note 20 Ultra and as far as they keep that and of course I can afford it, I definitely will not buy another foldable :) About everything else - you get used to all weird functions and inventions eventually like the screen crease - I don't really notice it anymore.
I saw no reason to upgrade from my fold 4 to fold 5 this year. The only difference was the hinge and the gen 2 chip. No bigger battery, no better screen, no upgrade.
Awesome Job with the In-depth review between the two.Also love when it is done with honesty. I don’t know what the joke was about the Ford Pinto but something tells me I also don’t want too.Thanks so much for sharing ✌️
You should use marvel unlimited to show how those comics look like in the fold phones not many people use that and might interest some new viewers trying to upgrade to a fold, Love your content keep up the awesome work
I have the Pixel fold and I have been going back and forth if I want to return it or not. I have had the Fold Z 2-4 and while the camera isn’t the greatest, it does the job and the multitasking and just the polish of the phone is what I miss. Again, while the Pixel fold, for a first attempt, is very good, the occasional freezing/unresponsive screen and the occasional dropping of signal (great that you pointed that out) is bothersome. Enjoyed your take, and to be honest it has been the best so far I’ve seen. To the point that I may go “home” back to Samsung, in the hopes that next year they work on making that front screen a little more useful and working on the cameras (the only flaw, even to I wish they could add call screening similar to what Google does to its phones). Great review and very helpful!!
Given it's Google's first fold phone. I'm sure they will fix most of those problems with each updates. As for hardware changes, we'll have to wait for next year. I would love to go for Samsung's foldable but that narrow cover screen is annoying and too narrow for my thick fingers. So I'll have to go for the Pixel only because of their wide cover screen.
I wouldn't hold my breath on pixel fold's signal lost problem improving. I convinced myself that the signal drop issue would get fixed with software updates on my pixel 6p and 7p. Three 6p and a 7p later, I finally gave up and went back to Samsung. No problem since! Pixel 6p and 7p would just lose signal completely for no apparent reason. My Pixel 4a 5g was fine.
Have they added spen function to cover screen or does it only work on the main 7.6 screen still... I still use and have my ZFold3 and waiting on a spen integrated option without a case. Flip users should have sDex feature by now and spen support as well. but hey it did get better over the fold5. 2nd phone upgrade will wait. I carry a Note 10 6.3" and ZF3 for my daily driver. both have sDex which is a must for me as well as the spen support.
@TechSpurt 14:26 regarding that on your dedicated Z Fold 5 video it would be cool if you could kindly test if it's able to do reverse wireless charge devices without interruptions while being plugged for wired charging, and if it's reasonably fast, useful to charge another phone when in a pinch: it's a thing that gets often overlooked on phone reviews in the battery, charging section but also one of the most realistic and actually useful use-cases for reverse wireless charging, in general.
Just get a Z fold 3 for $600 and enjoy the savings. These newer phones are not worth $1,800. Not paying an additional $1,200 for no gap and micro-upgrades.
Is it me or does there still seem to be a wee tint bit of a gap towards the hinge side...of course it's a huge improvement but it doesn't look completely flat...am I wrong?
I suspect very few people care about having windowed apps as an 8 inch screen is just too small for most of us. You may be a youngster that can handle tiny little app windows. I think split screen is the most I would use and both do that really well.
@@andyH_England I use it on my 6.1 inch S10 display comfortably. 8 inches will be most definitely be like using monitor. You can fade it to the background, responing to messages while watching something or doing something else. The buttons don't become tiny when you go window mode. I'm happy with my s10 till I see another mind blowing update or till I have enough cash to get a fold😂.
Wow, sweet technology sometimes I just have a hard time believing how far these devices have come. 👍👍👍 Great things await us as we head deeper into the future.
In photo the Pixel Fold is better in my opinion, because of the zoom and especially the colorimetry close to reality, on the other hand in video, the Fold 4 is clearly better. I do not like the form factor of the Pixel Fold, let alone that of the Fold 4, Huawei with its Mate X3 has the almost perfect form factor. Ps: I'm just waiting for a Galaxy Fold with the form factor of Huawei Mate X3 / Honor Magic V2. Surely the Fold 6 🤞🏽
Z obviously has the upperhand when it comes to handling dual screen sort of situation coz u know, it's 5th generation already, practice makes perfect, whereas this is google's first ever dip in the foldables pool so no wonder they are lacking in some departments. so yeah, not the fairest comparison's but just like your mom, Chris, i enjoyed this video a lot and it lasted almost the same too ;D Cheers and thank you again, bud.
How it is not a fair comparison. It is what both companies are offering now. What should comparison videos be? Wait for 5 years before comparing it side by side.?
@@ErnestMarvinEstebananyone can compare all they want, i'm saying it's not an equal battle this, since clearly samsung has the advantage of experience in this field, therefore it has more chances of making a more superior product.
@@jesseboy7951 it’s clearly equal. It’s what both companies are offering now. People needs this comparison to see the advantages and disadvantages of both NOW. If google released an unpolished product, it’s Google’s fault. And deserved to be compared to the more polished one

Samsung got it right on the cover screen, keeping it minimal, unlike other brands, giving a reason to unfold the phone and keeping the concept of a foldable design 👌
awesome video, where did u get your wallpapers?
Wow I thought review werent allow to compare the z fold 5 in this amount of depth yet. Great job here!
I still have the fold 3. Still waiting for a different design before upgrading. Probably next year is the time.
I am a fold user. I was happy you covered the video play back on both. I feel you are the only one. It would have been nice if the side by side would have been the same video!
God, you crack me up with your reviews.....and you say things like 'Zed' rather than 'Zee'....and quote prices in your 'OWN' currency...and for that, you deserve a massive pat on the back and a Sub...Top Man 👍
My fold 3 broke down after only about a year of use, I got the black screen of death after just a year so now I can't even use it if it's unfolded, the fingerprint also stopped working, and the charging port went out so now it only charges using wireless charging.. Makes me really skeptical about the fold 5 and really just Samsung in general..
It would've been tempting if the cover screen was wider. It looks so weird
The pixel has a better outer screen format and zoom camera and thats about it vs the fold 4 or 5. Great comparison though Uncle Spurt
Great video. Think I'm sticking with my Fold 4 for now. I did pre-order the 5 through my carrier but I end up paying basically the same amount on a plan that I am right now. It just doesn't make any sense. So I'll stick with what I've got and wait for either it to break or completely die before I think about getting a different phone.
Zero crease,no gap hinge the current one is not fully gapless,wider front screen with thinner symmetrical bezels on both screen,better water and dust resistantance,better battery.
Z Fold 5 gray color looks so stunning 🤍
Its weird how people complain about the fold being to narrow, im a big dude with large hands and love the fact i can use the phone with one hand no problem.
Wrong..the crease is less noticeable on z fold5 compared to the z fold4..
I put my hands on z fold 5 at my local Bestbuy yesterday and it is Lighter in weight and the screen gets brighter and the crease was DEFINITELY LESS NOTICEABLE, U can almost not see it or feel it... and could not see or tell the inner screen protector was there... this is compared to the z fold4..
I'm actually impressed about the crease being less noticeable..😮😁👍WOW.. the s pen and the case is also nice and light and flat/thin..
where do you get your backgrounds for the phone from??
Traded my Fold 3 512MB for the fold 5 1T. Got a really good deal with the watch classic 6 included. Got almost 1000 pounds off. Looking forward to these
Me too
MB?
Have the z fold 3 previously, break down within a year, sent for repair then break down again within 6 months(thou i admit i did drop the phone couple of times)...then got myself S23 ultra, now less than a year using it, i was lure by the big screen of foldable again n just preordered the Z fold 5...hopefully it will be a lot more lasting than my old z fold 3.
Just try not to drop it this time 😅
Yes, the fold 3 was terrible
Wider screen is all it needed honestly
Nah
“Almighty expensive bendy blower” this is the most British way of saying this lmao. Love it
I was leaning more towards the Pixel Fold cause of the external wider screen but the Z Fold 5 is more polished and I can manage to live with its narrow front screen.
you say that now, but wait after 2 months in and you will very probably regret that decision.
Typos for days
@@adxzkj6046 I have the 4, the narrow screen is truly useless.
@@adxzkj6046why
I love my z fold. The crease doesn't even bother me at all.
I cannot wait my fold 5, just pre order yesterday. Upgrade from S Ultra 22. Got bonus up to USD 300, i think its a good deal.
I was watching one of your videos and the truth you are just as good as the best of them. What they all have common is their appeal to adults. Love the jokes, the socks, and most of all detailed professional reviews. Keep it up ..forget the haters . See you at 3 mill subs
‘Bendy Blowers’ - Straight from the MrMobile book of phone review alliterations I love it
Mann I’m praying for you to hit that 1m subscribers by the end of the year. Good luck. You’re doing an amazing job 👍🏽
Just ordered the Z Flip 5 for £549.50 🥳
God ...I do love your reviews/unboxing whatever you do. Keep it up!
I love his way of talking man it's really charming 😅❤
I bought a Pixel Fold and mine is completely level. I am confused by people saying that it doesn't unfold all the way... I am loving it so far
I want switch to pixel fold. I was waiting to see if fold 5 any different but it the same design and camera hardware as the 4. So pixel fold it is as I love the outer wide display can be used as normal phone
Portrait > landscape
@josephg6393 how can you be waiting to see if the fold 5 is any different when we knew it would be like this months ago, what where you waiting for exactly, the leaks were out months
@@dr_emmz yeah but anything can change guess just had my hopes up lol
How is the battery life? Is it any better than Z fold 3? It will help me switch as am dissappointed in aspect ratio of z fold 5.
I know the initial specs of the camera are the same as the z fold 4, but I really hope they upgraded the camera module that they are using. If not, the Google pixels cameras are absolutely going to destroy this phone.
After testing the z-fold 5 out myself, I can say that the camera software has definitely had some improvements and taking pictures has significant less lag, but the photos really aren't that much of an improvement over the z-fold 4. The Google Pixel fold still takes consistently takes Better pictures.
Had The Fold 3, Fold 4 And Pre-Ordered The Fold 5 As Soon As I Could.. Couldnt Not Have A Fold Now.. Got An Update From My Courier Earlier Today And Its Coming Tomorrow!! A Week Ahead Of Schedule!! 😊
my fold 5 arriving manana...can't wait! looks like it will be a bit of fun,checked out a few different non samsung cases, like the kickstand option, and screenprotector..not sure if the screen protector is needed..but hey we will give it a try. thanks for the review, your entertaining commentary is awesome!
I wanted the pixel fold till I seen it wasn't as capable as galaxy.. I'm a pixel and galaxy fan.. don't no why I had high hopes for Googles first foldable anyway lol
Glad they didn't upgrade the z fold too much from last year. Means I'm not getting jealous and can go another year with my z fold 4. Awesome phone, for me it's as close to a perfect device as I could imagine. Better battery is pretty much all I could ask for.
In that case u ll be never jealous with an apple product ;)
I wanted huge upgrades but im not upgrading either this year. I had the fold 2 and 3 but fold 5 just didnt look different from the 4
I pre-ordered the Fold 5, upgrading from the Galaxy S22 Ultra. I played with it at the store for a few minutes, I don't regret my purchase yet. We'll see. Lol
Thanks for the video. I have ordered a Fold 5 and it will arrive next week. Love your cat. I have a Tuxedo cat and she's cool.
Where did you get your wallpaper? If i may ask?
I'm so mad samsung didn't make the outer screen bigger on the fold 5.
I as a Fold user hope Samsung don't change the format as it's brilliant in on hand and fits well in the pocket.
Same that's why I'm upgrading from fold 4
totally agree, i think samsung should come out with another product entirely for people who want a large outer screen.
I agree. Upgrading from a zfold3.
I'm interested to know, can you use the Cover screen as a handsfree option for viewing videos and utilise the "selfie" cam for Skyping & Zooming ? Or does the phone automatically change to the inside screen when it's opened up? If it automatically defaults to the inside screen, can you change that ? Thanks!
So glad i got the Pixel Fold. Soooooo happy with it. Just wish the casez werent so expensive. Ended up getting the Pitaka Mag Safe case amd its excellent (Keeps the Pixel Fold as slim as possible)
Pricing is insane.
I'll stick with my mid-range 6a for now.
Where do you find your wallpapers?
Where can I get that wallpaper? 🌾👀🌾
How does the Z Fold 5 handle pictures of movement? Anytime I tried taking a picture of my kid or dog with my Z Fold 4, it would just be blurry
It is subpar still, but better than on release. That is of course based on the s23 ultra as I get to try the Galaxy fold 5.
I am not a FOLD type of user but the FILP is a genius gadget to me.. SAMY was always my choice till the NOTE to ULTRA switch happened then I went ahead trough some XIAOMIs, HONORs, and some other new comers..
Now I am on the MOTO RAZR 40 ULTRA and I must confess that this device is the best gadget that an OEM can offer to a customer, the FLIP5 will play catch up this year.. 🎉
My preferences are for Fold. Many people point at the narrow screen and how bad it is because it is narrow. I have small hands so it is just perfect to hold in one hand. I can even type with 1 hand, which is not really possible with wider phones. This was enough for me to switch from Note 20 Ultra and as far as they keep that and of course I can afford it, I definitely will not buy another foldable :) About everything else - you get used to all weird functions and inventions eventually like the screen crease - I don't really notice it anymore.
your preferences are for the fold, as opposed to... the fold?
I love that you were reading One Piece which is like one of the biggest reasons I’m looking at foldables lol
Love your videos, the honor magic v2 and this one are so well done and I love your wallpapers lol
Got a sweet deal on a t12GB Fold 5 yesterday.
$1000 off with trade in.
Storage upgrade for the same price as the base 256GB model.
can I just ask. What's that animated film you have for the display comparison? the one with the black-white haired woman? it looks interesting
using the student discount, app exclusive offer, and a trade in, i was able to get my fold 5 for $680
I saw no reason to upgrade from my fold 4 to fold 5 this year. The only difference was the hinge and the gen 2 chip. No bigger battery, no better screen, no upgrade.
Awesome Job with the In-depth review between the two.Also love when it is done with honesty. I don’t know what the joke was about the Ford Pinto but something tells me I also don’t want too.Thanks so much for sharing ✌️
You should use marvel unlimited to show how those comics look like in the fold phones not many people use that and might interest some new viewers trying to upgrade to a fold, Love your content keep up the awesome work
I have the Pixel fold and I have been going back and forth if I want to return it or not. I have had the Fold Z 2-4 and while the camera isn’t the greatest, it does the job and the multitasking and just the polish of the phone is what I miss. Again, while the Pixel fold, for a first attempt, is very good, the occasional freezing/unresponsive screen and the occasional dropping of signal (great that you pointed that out) is bothersome. Enjoyed your take, and to be honest it has been the best so far I’ve seen. To the point that I may go “home” back to Samsung, in the hopes that next year they work on making that front screen a little more useful and working on the cameras (the only flaw, even to I wish they could add call screening similar to what Google does to its phones). Great review and very helpful!!
Given it's Google's first fold phone. I'm sure they will fix most of those problems with each updates. As for hardware changes, we'll have to wait for next year. I would love to go for Samsung's foldable but that narrow cover screen is annoying and too narrow for my thick fingers. So I'll have to go for the Pixel only because of their wide cover screen.
I wouldn't hold my breath on pixel fold's signal lost problem improving. I convinced myself that the signal drop issue would get fixed with software updates on my pixel 6p and 7p. Three 6p and a 7p later, I finally gave up and went back to Samsung. No problem since! Pixel 6p and 7p would just lose signal completely for no apparent reason. My Pixel 4a 5g was fine.
@@kianvoonyau3390 what carrier do you use? I had problems with Verizon but it got better when i switched to ATT/T-mobile
Can you compare fold 5 vs honor magic v2, flip 5 vs razr 40 ultra?🙃🙃🙂🙂
Have they added spen function to cover screen or does it only work on the main 7.6 screen still... I still use and have my ZFold3 and waiting on a spen integrated option without a case.
Flip users should have sDex feature by now and spen support as well. but hey it did get better over the fold5.
2nd phone upgrade will wait. I carry a Note 10 6.3" and ZF3 for my daily driver. both have sDex which is a must for me as well as the spen support.
Can you run another app (Like chrome) while playing a game? Can you split screen chrome while playing a game?
What app did you use to real this manga???
@TechSpurt 14:26 regarding that on your dedicated Z Fold 5 video it would be cool if you could kindly test if it's able to do reverse wireless charge devices without interruptions while being plugged for wired charging, and if it's reasonably fast, useful to charge another phone when in a pinch: it's a thing that gets often overlooked on phone reviews in the battery, charging section but also one of the most realistic and actually useful use-cases for reverse wireless charging, in general.
great video.
can you do the z flip 5 and the n2 flip?
Thanks for the review Boss
Please give the links of the wallpapers as well, here everyone likes the wallpapers you choose.
Why do these grown men always have anime girls as their phones wallpaper?
Just get a Z fold 3 for $600 and enjoy the savings. These newer phones are not worth $1,800. Not paying an additional $1,200 for no gap and micro-upgrades.
Is it me or does there still seem to be a wee tint bit of a gap towards the hinge side...of course it's a huge improvement but it doesn't look completely flat...am I wrong?
Lol I love the descriptions. "Sausage screen" 😂😂
Did you say u loose connection with the Google pixel if so i keep having that done with my pixel 7pr0
Does it has a audio delay on Bluetooth headphones?
Anyone know what anime that wallperper is from
Why does no one talk about the window mode on the Samsung? It is currently the most underrated feature even by Samsung and it's not fair.
I suspect very few people care about having windowed apps as an 8 inch screen is just too small for most of us. You may be a youngster that can handle tiny little app windows. I think split screen is the most I would use and both do that really well.
@@andyH_EnglandMost "you" would use.
@@kfx3907 yes, it was a subjective opinion. But I do feel that is a general consensus.
How do i activate the windows mode on the Z Fold?
@@andyH_England I use it on my 6.1 inch S10 display comfortably. 8 inches will be most definitely be like using monitor. You can fade it to the background, responing to messages while watching something or doing something else. The buttons don't become tiny when you go window mode. I'm happy with my s10 till I see another mind blowing update or till I have enough cash to get a fold😂.
I watch you just for the wallpapers
Wow, sweet technology sometimes I just have a hard time believing how far these devices have come. 👍👍👍 Great things await us as we head deeper into the future.
In photo the Pixel Fold is better in my opinion, because of the zoom and especially the colorimetry close to reality, on the other hand in video, the Fold 4 is clearly better.
I do not like the form factor of the Pixel Fold, let alone that of the Fold 4, Huawei with its Mate X3 has the almost perfect form factor.
Ps: I'm just waiting for a Galaxy Fold with the form factor of Huawei Mate X3 / Honor Magic V2.
Surely the Fold 6 🤞🏽
Yo, very nice wallpapers 👌👌🔥🔥

Alphacoders. He said so in a short. You can search it up.
what animation was you watching please?
"Star Wars: Visions" on Disney+.
@@Dablakadaberri thank you so much bro will definitely check that out
Z obviously has the upperhand when it comes to handling dual screen sort of situation coz u know, it's 5th generation already, practice makes perfect, whereas this is google's first ever dip in the foldables pool so no wonder they are lacking in some departments. so yeah, not the fairest comparison's but just like your mom, Chris, i enjoyed this video a lot and it lasted almost the same too ;D Cheers and thank you again, bud.
How it is not a fair comparison. It is what both companies are offering now. What should comparison videos be? Wait for 5 years before comparing it side by side.?
@@ErnestMarvinEstebananyone can compare all they want, i'm saying it's not an equal battle this, since clearly samsung has the advantage of experience in this field, therefore it has more chances of making a more superior product.
@@jesseboy7951 it’s clearly equal. It’s what both companies are offering now. People needs this comparison to see the advantages and disadvantages of both NOW. If google released an unpolished product, it’s Google’s fault. And deserved to be compared to the more polished one
@@ErnestMarvinEsteban dude, clearly u don't understand what I'm trying to say so let's agree to disagree, how about that?
@@jesseboy7951 I do. It’s just that you’re wrong
Gonna buy z fold 4 for half the price 😊
