Samsung have ordered all of there parts to be reduced is size and weight for the fold 5 because they want the fold thinner lighter and include the S-Pen. They tried this year but was not able to fit the S-Pen in there without making it thicker which they are not willing to do. So hopefully they can achieve that this year.

Great review. I love my Fold 4 and there's nothing like a big screen. I broke down and traded the Fold 3 and haven't regretted it. That few mm difference on the front screen does stand out. Everything you've described are true. Apple keeps talking about their foldable future but hasn't done anything. Apple must be dissecting the Fold 4 to see what they can copy then put a patent on it and claim it's theirs!

Thank you so much for the kind words! I agree, Apple will definitely be looking into this. It makes so much sense. Whenever I pick up the iPhone or the pixel, I noticed straight away that the experience is not as good as it is with the Fold.

I've had the Fold 4 since launch day and love it. Yes, it's too bulky and heavy, absolutely. But once you use it and get use to it I could never go back to a non-foldable phone. It's amazing. You can run productivity apps and they are useful because of the big screen. The two main issues, 1) it's too bulky when folded, awkward in your pocket and 2) for all it's size they should have squeezed a storage slot for the pen. Other than that, the Fold 4 is amazing.
@AlexGTech Жыл бұрын
Agreed on the pen! I wish I still got it at launch and made use of that free S-Pen anyway, but hoping the F5 brings a built-in pen, hopefully not compromising on the design

I'm about to get one of these, so I have been watching a lot of reviews on KZfaq. I've really enjoyed yours, thank you. One of the funniest/strangest things I've noticed on all the reviews - though perhaps this says more about me than the reviews themselves - is that literally none so far have even mentioned making calls with this device. I assume you only make calls with it closed? Is it heavy when using it for calls? Anyway, thanks again and also thanks for the tip on the car mount too.

I use a fold 1 and 2 (got them cheap secondhand). It is absolutely game changing to have a foldable phone. I speak as a corporate professional, not just a techie enthusiast: The price may make it look like a luxury toy, but I can honestly say that the form factor brings tremendous practical benefits: better holding ergonomics, sound and display quality, workstation (Dex) and readability for documents, PowerPoints, stock charts.... Absolutely critical as a professional. I daresay the future is definitely in foldables, just a matter of bringing the price down to low 1000$ and it's a tremendous value for the professional market.

As an IT dude who works sometimes outside and play games, this is so perfect. The dex mode, the big screen, the frontscreen which I really like, the sounds, etc. Only the battery wont last long as my IP14PM. But its good for 6-8 hours of use.

@@AlexGTech strangely enough it seems like nobody that I have showed the fold to really cares about it they kind of look at it for like two seconds and then they hand it back like oh yeah that’s cool ironically enough they all have iPhones so that’s not surprising I think they have been conditioned to expect so little out of a smart phone that they just think every smart phone is the same and should be the same. Strangely enough exactly like the original poster said the phone seems smaller and easier to handle when it’s folded and when it’s unfolded it’s like perfectly balanced and actually feels lighter than a regular phone it’s way easier to use than a regular phone is considering it’s not super tall and weird aspect. I think the perfect solution would be to make the phone just a little bit bigger maybe make it as big as the S 22 while it’s folded but also wider so it retains the 4 x 3 aspect ratio I think they should make an ultra version of this phone like an 8 inch or 8.5 inch version then it would truly be able to replace a tablet on the go. I would pay an extra 400 bucks for a bigger fold with better cameras and bigger powder display it would literally solve every issue in the folder if they came out with an ultra version

Im an iphone, ipad, airpods, and macbook users for 11 years. Been a week for me pondering if i should get this fold 4 but how it could fit in my apple ecosystem. Finally, sold my ipad last week! Bought this fold thing. And now for a week though, I feel great, andd the fold is much more useable in my case, due to its portability and convenience. For my usage, reading news, ePaper, pdfs, editing photos, analysing stocks, this thing is more useable🙂. I knw ipad is better for drawing and such, but im not an artistic type kindof guy, so for my personal use, it is perfect. Oh and regarding the ecosystem thing, I found a couple of useful tips for ios to android interconnectivity, first download SHAREIT, free apps for sharing cross platform. Secondly, open the icloud website from ur Fold, log in to ur Apple ID, and then put that iCloud shortcut logo onto your home screen on your fold, that way you can access your iCloud in just one quick from your home screen so that’s pretty much sold my concern about the interconnectivity (ios vs android)

I'm struggling to pick which phone to go for, I've always liked the look of the fold 4 but I'm hesitant as I've never used a folding device before, the 2 phones I have in mind to choose from is the Fold 4 and Pixel 7 Pro, certain aspects from both are drawing me in, I believe with a trade in offer I could possibly see the Fold 4 being closer in terms of price to the Pixel 7 Pro. I watch a lot of YT and could see the F4 being productive and great for media consumption, but on the other hand the aspect ratio and crease could get annoying. I've also heard bad things about the Pixel 7 Pro, in terms of battery and that the device is susceptible to a lot of glitches and overheating issues. In your honest opinion what device would you choose or recommend? Thank you 😁

From personal use I'd say fold it really changes how you view content and if you buy directly from Samsung pending on what you trade in they are very generous.

As for the s pen should have been included. BUT I LIKE IT BETTER THAN USING THE SMALL S PEN I HAD ON MY GALAXY NOTE 9 FOR A LONG TIME.. I got to Spigen case with the s pen holder that works fine.. I was initially upset that they didn't make it like the note series which they're going to do probably with a full 5 But now I'm so used to the bigger s pen so much more easier to use more comfortable it's worth having it on the outside in a case. It is what it is. I guess they figure you have more of a tablet so you need more of a tablet pen.

Great device! My only concern is about durability, there are still users with faulty devices. I myself have a fold 3 that gave up after a year and a half, it's now being repaired at Samsung, and it will apparently take 2 months to have it fixed, the screen is not in stock, so I'm back for now to my old trusty S10+, still going strong after 3 years, I assume there is still work to be done to have foldable devices lasting for years without any issues (Mom is still using his iPhone 6S, and my younger brother a Samsung J2 Prime)

I agree Wilson, this is not the finished article I don't think but it feels refined enough to be taken seriously. I guess time will tell, but so far it feels as sturdy to me as it did out of the box and with no scratches or screen issues (I am aware some people have not had the same luck)
@wilsonfernandez8636 Жыл бұрын
@@AlexGTech Yup, defenitely will wait for the follow up video! My fold also felt sturdy as the first day (specially the hinge) What is funny is that the outer screen died, not the inside one, they showed me the flex cable tore and since it was fixed to the inner display board the only way to fix it was to have the whole inner screen replaced (they will use the same outer screen)

@ghoormann Жыл бұрын
You're going to have to wait for the Fold 6 for significant upgrades. Unfortunately that's how Samsung works. The upgrade was from the Fold 3 to the Fold 4. Don't expect any real upgrades until the Fold 6. Based on Samsung's pervious upgrades. They generally upgrade every two years. It's already rumored that the outside screen will stay at the same dimensions and the camera upgrades will not be game changing.

I missed the multitasking on Fold 4 but I wish the next gen battery is much better.

23 ultra versus fold 4 I've had good experience with the 21 ultra, with the Galaxy Note 9 for 4 years. AFTER OWNING THE GALAXY FOLD 4!! I WILL NEVER GO BACK TO A SLAB PHONE.. they are so wrong about most people use the smaller display 80% of the time.. IT'S THE OPPOSITE FOR ME!! The unfolded display with the case is a perfect size to hold in your hand I can even put it in my pocket. They did their homework. I almost never close my phone maybe close it at a max five times a day.. and doesn't seem to slip out of my hand like the slab phones.. You realize the weight difference is only 20 g which is not a big difference at all.. in camera tests the Galaxy fold 4 in a lot of ways because of the better processing took a lot of better pictures, portrait mode was better, the only thing that wasn't better was obviously the zoom.. it constantly gave a slightly better pictures and video in every way than the 22 ultra.. The camera on the fold is more than good enough for anything in this day and age.. HIGHER PIXELS DON'T NECESSARILY MEAN BETTER PICTURES!! They mostly mean if you print something you can have a bigger picture with less pixels.. there are 12 megapixel professional portable dedicated cameras that would blow away the 22 ultra.. aperture size is a big one for low light. As for the crease I never see it I really don't. The only time you can see it is when you have a lot of reflection like outside if you can see reflections on any screen you obviously going to see the crease. You never notice it almost ever!! SCREEN IS SO BEAUTIFUL. I even love the bigger s pen. I now getting used to the big spen pen don't want to go back to a small one that my case holds, which I had for many years with the Note 9. When I go back to using the front screen the small one, and my girlfriend's 22 ultra it just seems so small now it feels awkward doesn't feel right. I JUST CAN'T EVER GO BACK LOL.. And by the way the picture difference even this guy shows is very small indeed.. if there wasn't a side-by-side you could not tell the difference in videos or pictures!! OH AND IF YOU LIKE VIDEO GAMES, VIDEO STUFF, AND MOVIES THERE'S NO COMPARISON!! EXPERIENCE WITH THE BIGGER SCREEN BETWEEN THE TWO IS NOT EVEN CLOSE!! When you get used to this big screen you just don't want to go back!! Seriously!! AND HAVE WE TALKED ABOUT HOW YOU CAN TAKE SELFIES WITH THE 50 MEGAPIXEL CAMERA PREVIEWING YOUR SELFIE ON THE SMALL SCREEN ON THE FRONT!! SO IT TAKES 50 MEGAPIXEL SELFIES!!! Can't do that with any ultra in that type of resolution and quality!! Furthermore THE MICROPHONE, SPEAKERS IN AUDIO QUALITY ARE BETTER ON THE FOLD 4!! For complete entertainment, multitasking, television, social media, GAMING EXPERIENCE, AND MORE THE FOLD 4 WINS!!
