That's it. I'm switching to the Fold 5... Or, I have switched. However you want to put it. Basically, ever since I picked up the Z Fold 5, I haven't been able to put it down. And I sincerely cannot see myself going back to a typical slab style phone after being spoiled by Samsung's Z Fold 5.

You forgot Dex! Using Dex is like unlocking pro mode. Plug the phone into a giant TV, use a bluetooth keyboard and mouse and you have a HD windows like machine. I haven't used my laptop in a year because of Dex. My fold 3 is the only device I use for everything. And with Xbox game pass you can stream games on it and use a bluetooth controler. Zero lag. You really need to start playing with Dex.

I actually used the Fold 3 for almost 2 years with no durability issues... I used the 4 briefly and then went to the 5. I can tell the difference in all 3. I also didn't have the durability issues some others had. I'm sure I will always keep a foldable going forward, once you open that door it's hard to close.

i like the bigness of the iphone 13 pro max (i been on ios since the iphone 4) before that i had the “droid incredible “ i preferred the small hand factor of the IP12 but wanted more storage. I just bought the z fold 5 in perfect unlocked condition on ebay for a fraction of what samsung is selling it for. the small front screen factor for easy one hand use and the big inside for videos and such other productivity when i need it, on reviews they say the fold 5 folds better then folds 1-4 and they are lighter so that’s a selling point also cause the 13 is heavy i had a s23 ultra also from ebay but im not sure what it was but it felt meh like the same size and shape as my 13 pro max. so i gave it 2 a family member…looking forward to this change. they made the iphone 15 lighter with titanium but they made it too light so its easy to break and i like swapping sim cards so no more iphones after 13 lol

I just switched to the Z Fold 5 a little over a week ago and I freaking love it!!! I was a huge apple user 10+ years, still in the apple eco system but no iPhone has anything close to the Z Fold 5. I can't see myself going back to apple. I love the big screen, the features, the versatility, still have a lot of tips and tricks to learn but I'm loving every moment of it.

Completely agree with you. I have not been this happy and excited about using a device in a while. I pretty much switched every year from the days of Note 8. I'm driving my family crazy telling them almost daily how much I love it. 😂 Yes I wish the cover display was just a bit wider but I'm afraid that if it goes too wide it'll lose some of its "magic." Just today was so happily using it open one handed. I have the slim S pen case and it's very easy to hold. The displays are just so sweet! I find myself taking random shots outdoors just to see the display in action... And every so often I think about picking up a slab to go alongside but just can't. I've gotten so used to and love this form factor. Using my wife's 12 Pro Max feels chunky. This device is a joy to daily use!

@tooke4493 9 ай бұрын

yup the outer form factor contributes to the inner display as to how smooth both the display works together.. most people just wish for bigger outer display but it plays an important role for the inner display too and samsung did it right unlike the pixel or other foldables ..its not so easy to maintain consistency for both the displays put together ...this is where other foldables fall sort ...it doesnt seem as one tab or phone or they create black border in apps not just while watching movies

@pickens922 9 ай бұрын

I've had my fold 5 for 2 weeks now. And I have been amazed! It works great, I too use the inner bigger screen about 90% of the time. No battery issues. I like the thinner, taller screen as well. It just seems to be more comfortable in hand. Even though it is slightly thicker and slightly heavier than the normal smart phone. It runs real smooth, the screen keeps me from using my tablet for a lot of things. The battery life has been fantastic. I use mine watching KZfaq, using it for work and listening to music almost constantly. I could not love my fold 5 more.

I just purchased the z foldable 5. I was a true Apple user and owner of several devices. There is a learning curve from the Apple environment, but with a little bit of work, I understand the Android. I love the fold out display. I can get rid of the iPad, and open the phone for the tablet experience. I understand why Apple is not going to the foldable phone; a foldable phone would kill their iPad sales. I'm know I am in the honeymoon phase of the foldable 5, and time will tell. for now, I am impressed with this phone. Thank you for your video. There is a ot to learn.

I went from the iPhone 11 Pro Max, tested the 14 Pro Max, and will likely never return to Apple. My Zfold5 is so much fun. It's great for notes, fun for selfies, and super convenient. Besides being a conversation starter, connecting to my wireless kb/mouse, and being a great content machine. It has excellent battery life, but! The metal edges scratch very easily. I accidentally bumped against a 50 pound ups, and it scratched my Front display. I fell asleep on my couch, and the phone fell between the cushion and the metal couch frame, causing two tiny scratches to the edge. I bought a case and am no longer worried. The case is super thin and feels great on the phone, and it also protects the hinge. 10/10 do recommend this phone.

Spot on review. I couldn't agree more. I have the 5, have had the 2, 3 & 4. I can't believe I've ended up upgrading every yr. I'm FAR from rich and it all started with a bday splurge (virgos stand up!). Now I'm hooked! Samsung's trade-in program has been too good to pass up for me. And IMO their improvements have been significant enough, with the exception of the 4 vs 5. I only upgraded because in all my Z Fold experience I finally had a serious issue with the 4 front SCREEN. It to shut off and stop working all together, and even Samsung couldn't repair it so they refunded me the full price which was WAY more than I spent. Fold's durability has impressed me. I'm a careful person, like I rarely ever break phones but I'm far from gentle on theses and I do not like cases so I barely use them at all and no prior issues not even a cracked outer screen.. 🤞 While waiting to get my 4 back I was using an S22 Ultra I had NIB collecting dust that I got on a Note 8 Trade-in when I switched service providers.. And I was going to keep that but man I missed my Fold aside from the camera comparison.. That and the news of the refund did it for me and I'm happy with my decision. From 1 former Apple fan boy to another.. Cheers, welcome & enjoy.

I’m so sick of iOS and there absolute refusal to give us an operating system that is one-handed, friendly, among many other features that android has had for years. Also, why still no fingerprint sensor on the iPhone? The fold five could be perfect. I think I would love it. However, I failed three different times trying to go to android. I have a pixel 6a as a back up. Also, Apple, putting the new chip only on the pro models is my breaking point. It’s gross. I may pull the trigger on black Friday for this phone. Also, I get to see the other new releases, including the one plus open. Just subbed. Peace.

I’ve been on the fence on getting the a fold 5 to be honest. Still got my 13 pro max since launch and have a iPad mini 6 with Apple Pencil just for the bigger screen when I watch stuff. But it’s not the same has having a tablet size phone you can carry in your pocket. When I’m out and about I don’t take the iPad mini but I want that size sometimes when Im not home so now what? My kids and wife have iPhones so it wouldn’t make sense to switch again .. was in that boat before and went back to the iPhone. Same concerns you have on durability and paying 1000 every year to upgrade when my 13 pro max has been paid for like a year and half. Yes the 15 “ ultra” doesn’t look like much of a banger this year of course so why would you go back. I just love android and prefer it but what you gonna do. I commend you for making the full switch over to a foldable and hope you stay with it.. so many of us go back to iOS when we are trying to get away.. sorry for the long post.. just speaking my mind and really enjoy your videos!

It's sad that no one realizes how awesome these foldables are. I just sold my fold 4 for $600 as it's value had plumited. They will only give you that much in trade for the s24 ultra so they are basically saying that's what it's worth. I traded my iPhone 14 pro max for the fold 5 and just wanted to get rid of the fold 4 as I didn't put Samsung care on it. Once that hinge on the 4 goes, and it will, Samsung will find a scuff on the hinge and won't cover under warranty (they really fixed the hinge on the 5). Eventually the lint will build up on that older hinge and cause it not open fully. I went into the flagship store here in NYC and lost it so they decided to make an exception and replace the fold 4 hinge. Could not get that phone out of my hands fast enough, hence $600 priced to go. Absolutely love the fold 5 and was able to slap Samsung care on it and I sometimes rock it bareback as it seems like a tank. Please people, put Samsung care plus on everything, especially these foldables and it's cheaper than the nightmare asurant crap.

just came from iPhone (after 14 years of it) and I am loving this phone and the android system is now light year ahead of apple. Sure there are a few minor things I miss, but they are not worth going back.

Proud owner of the 5. But I wonder what your thoughts on the camera. I personally like it but there are plenty who say for an expensive flagship phone the camera should better.

I had the s23 ultra but made the switch to the zfold. I originally was trying to get my hands on the zfols, but my phone company talked me out of getting the zfold 3 due to the issues that was coming with itm for the longest time I have tried to get my hands on the zfold but no luck so I tried the flip 3. My issue with it was, it kept freezing on me and booting me out of my apps and this happened to me 2 times when my phone company sent me a replacement and the replacement was doing the same exact thing so I argued with my phone company on the issues with it and they sent me a brand new s23 ultra. Now that I FINALLY have my hands on the zfold, I couldn't be more happier. My main thing with it is that narrow screen but not a serious issue. It will take some time getting used too. I'm getting there. But I do wish in the future samsung will listen to us about making the top screen somewhat wider in the future

@frankjaegergrayfox183 8 ай бұрын

if i get a good trade in deal, i'm changing back to the regular phone. Zfold 5 is nice, but only if you use the big screen. Typing is just not great on the front screen, you make a lot of mistakes while typing or minimalizing the apps. I mostly look at messages and put it away. even watching stuff is to bothersome to open it, so i just look at the front screen. So yeah, it's a nice experience, but maybe it will be more usefull in the future.

Three weeks for me too with the Fold 5 and I m literally living in Digital Heaven. Yeah, the battery barely makes to the end of the day if youbuse the inner screen predominantly. The solution, have POWER SAVING turned on permanently. It slows the processor by 30% but on this beast, you wont notice any degradation in performance.

@rahimahmed9113 9 ай бұрын

I don't know why people complain so much about the z fold 5 outter display if u don't like it just by a regular size candy bar phone Samsung made the outter display like that for a reason I think Samsung purposely made the z fold 5 outter display like that so 90% of the time u will use the inner display because what's the point of having a folding phone if the outter display is big and wide like the Google pixel fold that means u will be doing everything from the outter screen and it defeats the purpose of having a folding phone.

@valismind 9 ай бұрын

I agree. Also changing the outer display would heavily impact the already (in my opinion) perfectly size/ aspect ratio of the inner display.

I'm apple user more than 5years but this video push me think about move to android especially the Fold 5. Thinking about form factor and I'm tired the black flat display. Unfold this phone and use SPEN really makes me crazy. Do you recommend me change iphone for Fold?

@valismind 7 ай бұрын

I would highly recommend taking a look at the OnePlus Open. It's cheaper, comes with a charger, case and pre installed screen protector. Has better displays, and the form factor is much much better. It's a way better phone.
