Thanks for the video 👍
I just got the Z-Fold 5 and it is off the chain good. My only 3 wishes on the Fold series would be a little wider cover screen, a built-in S Pen and the camera array of the S23 Ultra. With those changes Samsung would blow the doors off every other phone on the market. I feel widening the Fold just a little would open the real estate door enough to fit in the better cameras, S Pen and maybe even a bigger battery. I have heard Samsung is worried about the weight, but they were also worried back when the Note series came out and that didn't hold it back from being one of their best phones ever. Really, when you think about it, it's very hard for the human hand to tell the difference between a few grams. It would be worth it to gain the improved hardware.
Agreed👍
The z fold is supposed to be skinny tho, if you want a wider fold get the pixle fold or the one plus open
Nailed it! Definitely!
I've used both and decided to stick with the Fold, just love having a phone and tablet on the go, great software experience, and honestly just looks cooler lol.
This was a thorough review. Just like they said, we need the "Fold Ultra". Put those high MP cams on the fold with a small built in S-Pen, and you've got the perfect phone. The fold is already quite crowded internally with parts, but Samsung will do it eventually. I'm confident.
Its gonna be a bit too expensive though lmao. The one thing that bothers me about the foldables though is the durability. I for one if spend that much on a phone, I will want it to last 4 years before I switch. But the Folds, thus far have had durability issues which just cannot be solved as easily simply because phones like Ultra come with a full glass and metal build with a sturdy screen, which of course will last way longer. Dont get me wrong, I love Folds, and would definitely get one someday, but its the durability and longevity aspect which always has me pensive.
@@mihirojha4475well but now you need to pay 3000 for 2 different devices…. So is the same thing I could say they can give the cameras to flip one because is better for concerts etc and fold as a pocket tablet …
@@mihirojha4475do you think the fold5 can last longer? I want to get it but if it’s going to develop micro cracks after a year then it’s going to be an expensive loss
Agreed. Samsung needs to make the Fold have the same folded aspect ratio as the S23 Ultra and add the cameras from the S23 Ultra. This and the S23 Ultra being more durable has been my hesitation in buying the Fold 5.
Absolutely! But it's a political choice, they could already do it, the question is do they want to do it.. It's like Apple who could run MacOS on the iPad with M chips or all the software limitations they make on their phones. And here, with the tendency of getting thinner thinner thinner, always thinner, with the Folds, I'm not sure our wishes are about to happen. But the day the Fold has no compromise, it will overcome everything and clearly the Ultra as well. So, is that what they want? Mh :l
I have the fold 4 and the s 22 ultra. If the fold 5 had the s23 camera. The fast charging, battery and the s pen built in it would be the best and perfect phone out there
They will not do it. No competition
I would go for the fold 5. Since i have the fold 4 i dont want a regular S20 series phone anymore. Love the tablet experience. Amazing.
Me too, I'll choose the z-fold 5, I was done with slab style phones long time ago
@@dr_emmzis crease really a problem in Z Fold
And is aspect ratio a problem??
It's the Z fold 5 for me. I've taken some amazing photos with my fold 5 and the multitasking is second to none.
Man after using Samsung for 10 flagship years
I started to feel that every new model has worse cameras than previous,
Also now I feel my s23 ultra camera is worse than my base model s22
Also I started to feel that iphone 13 pro max not the 14 pm
Has better real looking photos
Yes Samsung has tons of details but it feel very sharp and ugly after a long time of using it
Currently I am pissed that I rarely use the camera
I remember i took 4 thousand pictures and videos with my s22
But when I got the s23 ultra, i took couple of photos 90% of it are selfies and then I got pissed and turned off because I don't like the processing,
Very ugly and I am very sad tbh.
I wanna know for real, does the 13 pro max has better looking photos ?
Or it's just be imaging stuff ?
I dunno there is something about it makes me feel it looks better
I gave it to my sister tho,
She always wanted me to take a picture with my s22 6.1
And I actually took very good photos
But my s23 ultra won't take same photos
I compared it yesterday
Took a picture of a ice cream poster
It was dark red, my s23 ultra made it very contrasty pink, looking at it, disappointed me
It even looks ugly aside from the inaccurate color.
My previous iphone 13 took the poster picture and it was dark red, maybe a little bit darker than reality but it's like 90% closer to reality than the 23 ultra which wasn't real at all in colors.
Honestly I prefer the photos on the main camera if the Fold 5 instead of the Ultra. My ultra photos were always overexposed and my fold 5 photos are perfect every time.
Yeah everyone clowns the camera but I've taken some really really great shots with the z fold 5
@ThatSavoieDude The pictures just look more balanced and cleaner to me. For RAW I would still prefer Ultra though.
If I could only pick one, then it would be the Z Fold 5. I really need that multi-tasking functionality and the usefulness of the mini tablet display. As much as I love that 10x zoom, I got by okay back when I was using a Surface Duo 2. Thankfully, I can afford to carry multiple devices.
How is the outer screen? It looks so narrow as to be practically useless. I'm just trying to imagine typing on it...
I've been thinking about it for a while now, after this I'm convinced to get the fold, thank you for your help!
I gotta ask, if you use the inner screen for gaming or heavy apps, should you wait for it to cool down before closing the screen?
I am not normal, the more I watch these reviews the more I realize that most people really care about the camera. I take pictures of documents, serial numbers on things and pictures to remember where parts went and cables plug back in. I like scenic views as much as the next person but the camera just gets in the way of the most beautiful views and never does justice to life. I bought the fold 5 because I need the screen for my EFB but if I was going by preference I would get the flip and if they made a cheaper version with no selfie cam and one lens on the back I would buy that in a heartbeat even if it was only 10mp. I mostly like the flip because it fits in any pocket and you can hang up by closing the phone, that never gets old.
Fold 5 all day
Fold 5 all day bro
interesting, I might skip 23 ultra now
What about at night?
At night I use a Nokia
If the fold 5 lasts an entire year without screen cracks then i might consider
Wow a big chunk of this was dedicated to the cameras. As someone who doesn't really care about taking pictures that much, the fold is the better option for me. Easier to use with one hand and the option to use as a mini tablet is a huge bonus for me.
Anyone who were truly contemplating the choice would eventually weigh that in.
Exactly. The ultra just too big/wide n unenjoyable for me to use. N I have big hands. Fold is perfect combo.
I absolutely love the Z Fold5. Never going back to 🍎.
Agree. The main reason why I left the iPhone since I first used it, is that Apple is too obsessed with their camera and video on every device it releases from model 11 to the latest 14!
now switching to smartphone Z fold 5 and still learning android knowledge and after a week using it i might saying z fold 5 was amazing smartphone.
S23 Ultra. I have one now. The replacement parts & repair service of the Z fold 5 screens would be a friggin nightmare. I'd rather have a tab with a flat screen than that folding portion since that bend crease will eventually affect the viewing.
I got the fold 5 2 weeks ago. My first foldable coming from a OP 7 Pro. I am loving it so far!
Bro I wanted to buy a new phone but confused in S23 U and Z fold 5 can u share ur experience with z fold 5's Camera Gaming And Content Watching ❤️
@@sakibsarder+1
Just wanted to say that this video was done really well. Thanks
What a great video. Well done 👏 I'm still loving my S23U 😊
Yes, we need the Fold Ultra😁
Yup
My requirements for it to gain the ultra moniker:
•wider front display
•front display that works with the spen
•space to store spen in phone
•Better cameras
•Bigger battery
•Rear fingerprint scanner
Stuff I’d love but wouldn’t expect:
•removal of the internal camera
•IP68 rating
•IR blaster
•microSD slot
•headphone jack (with good DAC)
@@metalmanexetremefinger print sensor is already in a great spot but everything else would be sick. God I can only imagine the price though
Fold ultra coming in 2024
Let me know when they put out a version with all Gorilla Glass screens and I'd think about it... till then... It's always gonna be a
'hard pass".
Since I interact with my smartphone's screen throughout my day more than I take pictures I'll take the bigger screen on the Fold any day of the week. I'm not a person who cares to take a whole lot of photos, having said that the pictures I have taken on my Fold have been some of the best according to the people who have seen them. One feature I do use on a daily basis is split screen mode in landscape. It's like having 2 phones screens, and that is a huge reseaon I will never go back to slab phones. Another plus for me is how much fun it is to be on a Foldable screen, something that started to become boring on a slab.
As someone who doesn't care much about the camera (as long as it can take decent photos I'm good), I'm so glad I swapped to the Fold 5. Had to use my old non-foldable phone for a bit after I got the Fold, and it felt like it was missing something. Once you get used to having two screens, it's hard to go back.
I own an S23 Ultra and I really like it. But if the Z Fold 5 was launched the same time as the S23 Ultra, I might go with the Fold.
what is your application for video editing at 10m23?
Traded in my S22U for type Fold 5. Don't really care about camera on smartphones. if I need a camera I'll use my mirror mirrorless cameras. Love the bigger screen, multi window for productivity and multitasking.
I think when they talk about the superlative S23 U camera's theyre talking of expanded options (10x, 200mp etc) because other than those Fold 5's pics are on par and infact many times are sharper than 23 U's on my device
Does the Magnetic stand works on it or do we need to put a metal plate under cover for it to stic to the back of Fold 5 ?
I was so much confused between ultra and fold 5 but a smart move after doing so many analysis and reviews I will go with 23 Ultra reason being the fold 5 is still in a development stage where samsung is refining it every year, the hinge cost almost $700 may be after a year or two their is always a risk it may get damage. it was very common in fold 4 after 1-2 years of use. I will go for Fold but may be Fold 7 or Fold 8 but now Ultra 23 is tested and reliable product.
Great video!!!! I own both and got to be honest,s23 ultra is a beast!!!!!! Besides the folding on the fold 5 the s23 ultra is basically the perfect phone
No doubt, the Z Fold5. I really don't care about cameras.
There isn't anything wrong with the camera or video on the z fold 5 though, it's not a bad camera at all and it can be used for youtube content creators. I'm a artist myself so Z Fold 5 all the way for me personally. Contrary to popular belief it's all going to upload at 1080p on social media anyway it can also do 4k uploading so all this noise some TH-camrs are talking about with the camera antics is just that, nothing but noise and holds no value. It's more to a tech device than what has been being discussed in most videos. Make decisions for yourself people and stand on it. Buy what you want and what you like doesn't matter which phone it is just do your own hands on research and do what works for you. Go try the phones out for yourself and make a decision for yourself from your own view.
I just bought the 23 ultra 2 weeks ago. Was looking at the z-fold but I don't trust the folding screen. It's still new technology and I've heard people have been having problems with the folding screen.
S23 Ultra (I have).
Less moving parts.
As an engineer, less moving parts usually means less wear and tear, or mechanical failure.
I also am concerned about the long term effects of a folding screen. Will it peal, become loose, etc?
Little late to the party.... Folding phones have been on the scene for 4-5 years and you don't know much about them?
@@carlbrenda6518he's right, you stereotyped him and are in the wrong
Will choose fold 5, I can't see differences on camera shots. It looks the same though.
great video. first world problem now of which phone to get!! i am still undecided after watching this video, but much better informed!!!
although the fold5 is good indirect replacement for the Nokia N900 i had last decade !
Watched on Galaxy Z Fold 4 512gb absolutely love the folding phone .it will be hard to switch back to a regular screen now .Kinda like like when bigger Tvs became price consumer friendly why would you get a 21 inch none smart TV ,when you can get 32+ smart TV for just a little more .Many people don't realize how much video consumption they play on phones and how much better it would be on a portable tablet 😀 ,if it's pictures they are both great 👍 Neither will replace my Canon dslr backed with the many lens I have just not comparable.
Great content. 3 reasons I wouldn't go fold. 1, battery, enough said on that. 2. Gorilla glass victuss on front and back on the s23 ultra, not on the fold. 3, built-in s pen. And for saving 600 bucks with the s23 ultra. I can buy a great case with flex mode.
What do you mean you can buy a case with flex mode ?
@@kmay505 Great catch. I honestly have no Idea on why I wrote that. 😐 but if you want a super good case get the supcase unicorn beetle pro.
😊Thank you
For me unable to write on outer screen on fold variant is a big turn off. I have to write notes on pictures and everytime I have to open it up
I just got thecZfold5. It's totally a new experience, no comparison in the new and different experience
I just traded my fold 4 for the Ultra 23. I had a lot of fun using the Fold 4 especially when going on trips. However, the camera function, Battery, and processing chip is important to me. If samsung can make the fold series less bulky and equip the same cameras as the Ultra, then I can see myself going back to Fold.
I agree with you, I have an S21 Ultra and I reaaaally want to try the Z Fold 5 but I think the S23 Ultra would be more useful for me. I want the snappier performance, battery, and better cameras. Samsung is giving really good trade in offers, even for the S21 Ultra they're giving $800 towards the Fold 5 or $600 for the S23 Ultra so right now I can pay $479 for the Ultra or $749 for the Fold 5. Would you make the same choice with these options?
Ohh there all good . 😂
I thought Samsung will integrate the S Pen on the 5th generation, and was really looking forward to go with the Fold 5. But it won't happened and will have to stick with an S23 Ultra for another year (or even more, who knows...)such a shame...
Get a Popsocket and attach a wrist strap to your phone case, you will greatly minimize your chances of dropping your phone, and the Popsocket makes it so that the phone is very comfortable to hold for long hours at a time. Not sure that would work so well on the Z Fold phones, but it has worked tremendously well on my Galaxy Note 20 Ultra, and my S23 Ultra. The Z Fold is now on it's 5th model, and I'm still not sold on it. I just don't see how I can do be as productive with that phone as I can be with a regular slab style phone. Yes I know the Z Fold phones can hold two or more apps open on the fold out screen, however that seems like a distraction to me. On my S23 Ultra, I can have all the apps open that I need, and quickly switch to whatever app I need when I'm ready for it. I don't know that I will ever be sold on the Z Fold or any other folding phone... and then yes there is that crease. I'm definitely not sold on the crease.
I always accidentally drop my phone so gonna go with the S23 ultra. Currently got the Note 10+ and still going solid, so might just wait for the S24 Ultra, just a few more months to go.
Hi Jonathan,
Thanks very much for your open and honest opinions .. I dropped my s21 Ultra and was going to replace the screen but at £250+ for a repair I've decided to upgrade .. 🇬🇧
Nice! What are you upgrading to?
@OT4Tech I've always been happy with my S21 Ultra as I do a lot of photography on my Instagram page, I can honestly say that there's aspects of the phones capabilities that I still, after over 2 years, I still haven't explored, I use the Samsung photo editing app but not a lot else. My phone is my Spotify portal and TH-cam, too, but other than that 🤯
Whilst I'd maybe like to just upgrade to the S22 Ultra, there seems to be a lack of the S22's being made available here in the UK. It seems that the S21 & S22 are being recalled by Samsung and they're attempting to entice users towards the S23 and Z Fold 5.
Wow, that’s pretty shady. Any luck on the open box market?
If Samsung had given the exact camera system and battery of the s23 ultra with a built-in s_pen to the Z fold it would be game over the the s23 ultra. It's not that they can't do it, they just want to make it a fair enough competition or else they'll have to scrap off the ultra phones like they did to the NOTE
Just ordered the ultra I’m so ready!
This is BY FAR, the BEST reviewer/imfluencer on TH-cam. Period!
Galaxy Fold. It saved us when our music tablet broke down before the wedding ceremony engagement. It was big enough to read off of. If I got the S23, it would have been too small to read music from. Got the Fold 3, 4, and 5.
Outer screen on the fold is tiny when viewing web pages or apps like Instagram. I'll stick with my s23 ultra
I just made a direct comparison to my S23 Ultra at a local Best Buy. I was stunned how small the outer display is on the Fold 5 in comparison to the S23 Ultra. This made me decide to stick with the S23 Ultra.
The camera alone is better than other phones on the s23 ultra. As video said they have the same processor or ram/storage options. Main difference is a mini tablet mode on the fold. I'd barely use it personally so I don't see that bring worth the extra 600 to 700 bucks
It is up to you what features you need from your phone. They target differently.
If you are TH-cam creaters, yes camera is the most important for you.
But if you are business man needing the best productivity functions or getting old needing bigger sceen 😅, you might prefer Fold 5.
Like Bill Gates, he choose the Fold.
So it is all up to you, you let someone else make a decision for you. It is your money. 💰
For me, I picked Fold 5 and I'm super happy with it. Yes, I have businesses and I am old now haha I need bigger screen. Now I don't have to carry tablet with me anymore.
I purchased my S23 Ultra because I prefer the form factor. The way the S32 Ultra fits into my hand is my preference. Because I also use my S23 Ultra as a camera.
Fold 5 for life!
S32 ...I'm old
Funny enough I think you swaped the photo comparisons from @4:00, because the Z's photo's actualy looks better
I switched from iphone 13 pro max to the pixel 7 last year... big upgrade! Then from pixel 7 to Galaxy S3 Ultra 2 weeks ago.. another big upgrade!!
I decided to take the dive from an S21 Ultra to the Fold 5. Absolutely no regrets other than I wish I'd switched to a Fold earlier. The extra functionality has been a big upgrade and I've found the overall experience perfect for both productivity and media consumption. Battery life has been much better than I expected. The only people I would caution against getting a Fold is anyone very rough on phones or work jobs where your phone can get beat up easily. Still a little too fragile for those cases
I prefer the z flip 5, but if I had to pick 1 out of the 2 here, easily the s23 ultra. Its just a beast, ticks all boxes. Had it not been such a giant phone, I would've bought one
Hmm, haven't your ever heard... Size matters.😁
@@stevegibson743Omg, stop it sailor!
@@DanielReyes-zu8em 😊
yes i had this delema ...I picked up the Ultra 23 insted of the fold .Do to i have my Samaung tablet so stuck with what works ..But there was some good comparisons
Yes we need a fold ultra. Make it a little wider on the outside display. Needs to have the same camera and battery as the s23 ultra !!!!
Would have thought that the GalaxyZ Fold would have had a better camera than the ultra but I guess the reason they call it the ultra is because it has the best specs all around
I think it's really funny that almost every single person he asked in the video (all influencer types) prefer the S23, but then you go down to the comments and it's 90% Z Fold 5.... It really highlights the difference in perspective between all these online "tech people", and the general population of real people who actually use these devices for daily productivity and such. It really makes one question why anyone listens to these people at all.
I'm not surprised that content creators are picking the S23 Ultra because of the obsession with the biggest camera specs. Creators today don't experiment and pioneer new form factors to pioneer new standards.
Creators like PocketNow, MKBHD, BGR, Digital Trends and Flossy Carter weren't afraid to pioneer new form factors that got us to 6+ inch smartphones. Now influencers are driving incremental upgrades holding on tightly to the current form factor. Chasing bezel-less displays and megapixels. Every year influencers complain over millimeters of bezel and are never satisfied with the cameras. This has become very boring.
If you want to be innovative, go for the Fold. It is crazy that 50MP main camera isn't enough when the S23 Ultra is the only device with a 200MP. I've lost confidence in tech influencers.
One of the tech reviewer said , it has two awkward aspect ratio and being a fold 4 owner i believe he is spot on . I had the aspect ratio .
I am confused plz advise me what to choose
Photo resolution should be treated as a far less significant factor. As soon as I send the damn photo to someone, the quality deteriorates significantly 💀
I didn't expected the result of the galop. Only big disadvantage of fold is durability which is unknown.. Otherwise i would expect 90% to go with fold.
I have ordered fold and waiting..
I'm over the screen protection on the fold coming away from the centre and collecting dirt underneath
I was a note user for so long . And since i use foldable phone . I dont think im going back to regular phone . Now regular S series feel so small and not multitasking, otherwise im not kind of camera users
id go for the S23 Ultra as well. The fold just seems still half baked even if its in the 5th gen already.
I just think that its quite sad that people actually look at the camera first when deciding on what smart phone to get.
And you can still see a seam in the middle of the display on the Fold. Just get a tablet and go with the S23 Ultra for your phone.
I hope Samsung don't change the aspect ratio. The thinner outer screen actually helps on single handed usage.
The reason I picked the fold 5 are media related and i have not heard anyone talk about.
1. The fold 5 aspect ratio on the inner screen is 4:3 which is the classic viewing size for legacy media in the 90s and 2000s also makes it great at reading like a book.
2. Classic media thet was broadcast in 4:3 is near pixel perfect. I'm enjoying classic shows, movies and anime on this bright oled panel.
3. Sticking with the 4:3 theme classic game using emulator work and have pixel perfect quality. Using rt man filter with bright OLED panel 120hz give a very great crf like look. It's almost like having a old pvm rgb crt with the right filters and post fx.
4. You can doom in pixel perfect quality and original resolution as well as many classic PC games with right tools like super display for PC or native android apps that can rip wads or run old school engines.
5. Speaking of super display you can use this to have the best damn Wacom tablet pad ever. I use this for Photoshop now and I love it.
6. Drone operators can now have a bigger screen for fpv and photographers like myself don't have to run a separate monitor for view finder anymore and can take my phone and connect to my Sony A7 system.
I could keep going adding things like replacing my cars built in display vs using Android Auto but you get my drift. This phone was the perfect device I was looking for. I never knew I needed this until now. I love my galaxy fold 5.
How do you use it as a Wacom tablet?
@@Jim00000 using the app called super display
Got them both and they are both awesome in their own separate ways
S23 for the camera being the best if not one of the best out there. I didnt realize the clarity with the zoom until my neighbor showed me. Was in Walmart. Ge zoomed in on a price tag on the other end of the store and was crystal clear. My wife and I take a lot of pictures and videos of our daughter and random scenery so that's a plus. The dust proof, splash proof etc is also a must for me with the 23 ultra
There is something few people are talking about. As a long time Z fold user the inside screen protector issues is a big problem. Having to send your phone in ever 6 to 13 months for this is a big issue. Don't misunderstand me. I love the Z folds but it is a major inconvenience and can be costly depending on your warranty / Samsung care package.
I agree. If you care about cameras don't go with the fold.. It's for media consumption and productivity. It's not for tiktok or Instagram.
I'm not surprised that the S23 Ultra is what most people prefer. If I were to choose, I'd go with the S23 Ultra.
I feel like foldable smartphones are not quite at the level where we would feel comfortable using them and not worry about dust and debris getting in through the hinge, the crease is still there (though not as bad as the earlier models), and the fact that the internal screen is delicate is an issue.
On top of that, the foldable phones have a more higher MSRP and repair costs are higher.
Delicate screen is for sure the reason why I don't bother with folding phones. Put out one with Gorilla Glass and I'd at least consider it.
That isn't true though. Someone dumped a ton of dirt and dust on the Fold 5, opened it and closed it multiple times and it didn't break. Also couldn't forcibly bend the phone by opening it too far.
I pre-ordered the fold 5 and and flip 5 for the wife. We couldnt be happier.
When you consider how thin the fold is once it's laid out compared to the s23 and gives you more real-estate when you need to look at important diagrams, I can sacrifice a camera Pic quality. I absolutely love when I fold it up, it's the size of a quality bar of chocolate that can fit in your pocket.
dont see that much diference in the photos but the overall experience in fold 5 is amazing
Forgot about this! Watching this in the air. Editing this video right now 🤣
Haha, did you do a full comparison or camera?
@@OT4Tech little of everything but mostly camera. Going to finish out in Malaysia
I didn't know Cassidy Campbell did tech reviews
If I didn't have my tab S8+ the ZF5 might be a useful compromise between a phone & a tablet. As it is, having the best phone camera there is, is more important.
Why cant we put sim cards in Pads?
I don't understand what more do people want,how much better do u want these cameras
As soon as they can figure out how to have a screen on the fold that can take a stylus being rubbed on it a bunch each day. And have the stylus being built in. I'd get the fold easy. But, I like the pen too much to give up my ultra.
Summer is here, waiting for the 🐝 costume ...
Carrying both right now (23U and ZF5) and, quite frankly, leaning towards the 23U for various reasons.. That outer screen on the go is ehh..(but I suppose that's intentional by Samsung), the lack of dust resistance, having to kinda baby the device, not much in the way of mounting it in my vehicle, pocketability (suit) isn't the best especially if you carry two devices (my primary is the iPhone 13 Pro Max at least until Android can figure out an Apple watch ultra equivalent..no, the galaxy watch 6 ain't even close.. ) etc are favoring the 23U for me.. As a media device, the Fold is amazing and absolutely love the taskbar! I really wanna like the Fold 5...just struggling to justify it over the 23 ultra ..
That's what weird to me is justifying it's existence especially at the price point.
@@mikelthewug lol what's there to justify? It has essentially 2 more screens than a regular phone and a specially designed hinge/bendable screen. The cost is definitely justified from a component and engineering perspective. The value to you is the main question.
@@yftinthyn007 justify paying $1799 for a device that's not as powerful as an Intel or M1 chip. I can get a just as powerful device in an S23 that's truly mobile with multitasking. I'd rather have a full blown tablet with more screen real estate like the one I'm typing on right now. The S23 is already cumbersome. Its cool and well made but just doesn't make sense, beside want, to have.
@mikelthewug to me personally, the Fold 5 fits better in my pocket than an iPhone 12 Pro Max. The thickness doesn't make it cumbersome, the larger surface area of the S23 Ultra and Pro Max phones make it more difficult to pocket. Don't really understand the comment about "truly mobile" when for me the Fold 5 is easier to pocket.
S 23 Ultra for me....used Z Fold 3 for a year and a half....but the cameras was a deal breaker for me
Fold man anyday! The productivity it offers no slab phone can match. The pictures are better on ultra but the movie watching productivity experience is leaps and bounds better on fold. The versatility takes it for me.
Which would you go for - Z Fold 5 vs. S24 Ultra?
(Asking as a current S23 Ultra user)
For what they charge for the fold and if you just mostly never open it then why buy a fold for. Plus the fold inside screen still feels like plastic not glass.
There are a lot more jobs you can work at besides a beach or construction where you can get dust in the fold.
I must be getting old. I'm looking that this video 2ft away from a 55" 4k set. The only time I could tell a difference in the photos was when they zoomed in on the monk lady. The Z Fold 5 was grainier.
I took the moon picture recently with my s21 ultra 6.0ui, ... Hilarious how server picture was inserted
Either one. I have DSLRs and mirrorless cameras to take photos.
I have fold 4. While I love the phone, it has given me issues with the hinge and inner display screen protector in the past one year already. I got the hinge and inner display replaced, thanks to the insurance, but now I am terrified that this may go bad again in the future and I won't be able to afford it.
Now that s24 ultra is out and I am getting good exchange value, I am strongly thinking of going back to slab phones.
Tablet on the go i loved my z fold ,.changes from ultra..ultra is just mob with a better zoom and 200mpx that i used rarely..
Taking pictures aren't really my thing so cameras don't really matter to me. If the S23 Ultra had that under display camera, I probably would have upgraded to it.
The 200MP on the S23 Ultra is incomparable in terms of details in photos. But that's all about it as colors are strangely bad in some lighting
We don't need a fold ultra, we just need the fold 6 to come with the better camera specs that's all and a better screen cover for the big screen that doesn't peel like my fold 4 is at the moment!
Which one is better for gaming?
I go back and forth between both, S23 ultra when i need the best cameras/ Zoom feature and Spen. Fold 5 for everything else lol. Why choose only 1?
The guy who said aspect ratio nailed it. I think the Fold 5 would take more adjusting
