Wow, this was fun to create. Both of these phones are so good now! Which one do you prefer though? As promised, here is the video where I test the S23 Ultra call quality: th-cam.com/video/Lq7GSmcUTSk/w-d-xo.html The Fold 4 long term review on the channel also includes a call quality. Have a great day 🙏🏼
Watching on S23 ultra green 12/256. WoW this is epic. Your videos also. Great going on👍 I will switch to fold only if has wider screen front, and UDC on the inner screen will be usable for zoom conference. Also need a flagship camera on such a flagship fold.
I was going to take the plunge to the S23U but decided I'll stick with my Fold 3 until the Fold 5 comes out. Or until the screen breaks. Lol I would really miss a lot of the features that the Fold brings in terms of multitasking. And having a tablet on demand for video playback after recording footage and then making a small clip to share with parents is awesome. Great video. More real world usage than a lot of other review videos.
Thank you Ian!! Yes, I am legit excited for the Fold 5. In the past I kinda ignored the foldables but since this Fold 4, I am 100% a convert. Looking forward to it
Great video! I'm glad someone finally put video content between these devices side by side, because of the Z4 format factor the fold videos are not that much bigger, especially in 21:9 aspect ratio
Wow, this is an excellent video. So informative and professional but relaxed and conversational at the same time. Well done. And thank you for commenting on the phone call quality and reception. Most reviewers don't even mention this important aspect of the "phone." Also, the video looked and sounded top notch on my new S23 Ultra!
Glad you enjoyed it! and thank you so much for the lovely words! I was going to include those tests here too but the video is already too long so left a link in the pinned comment now... S23 Ultra call quality: th-cam.com/video/Lq7GSmcUTSk/w-d-xo.html
I too had fold 4 since last August. I traded it for the s23 ultra, and it finally feels like Samsung hit it out of the park with this one, I haven't loved a phone this much since my beloved note 10+. As far as the fold,4 goes, for me after 6 months I was over the fold. S 23 ultra is awesome in every way
I understand that! I am a full convert now into foldable phones and don't see me moving away from the Fold, but the S23 Ultra is 100% the best device out there especially if you care about the quality of videos and photos. I can't praise it enough...
The problem with fold is reliability and the screen crease get that done to a bairly visible and I ilr get one maybe if they make it ultra aswel for me I want the screen to basically be two notes that fold together I want a 8 inch tablet that I can unfold in front of all the isheep lol lol
Similar story here but with Fold 3 and S22U. I liked the Fold, but was so glad to be back with a slab. Note 10+ was definitely my favorite as well. I am intrigued by the Fold 5 possibilities however, and may consider going fold again.
Another amazing video Alex. For me I think the slab is more my style. Reason being because the display on the s23ultra is large and apps and videos are more optimized for it but also because I always have my tab s8ultra on hand or in my work bag. I honestly can't wait to see how much the tabs9ultra will be with the next version of snapdragon. I also don't like the narrow texting or super wide texting on the fold devices not even the flip as the aspect ratio is tall and narrow. If they made the flip a little bit wider and shorter that would be something to consider.
@@kaiichinose9590 I've pre ordered the S23U. I love photography on phones so that was my main decision. The fold does appeal because I've stopped carrying my tablet because I cba to carry any other device. The S23U seems to be just right in all areas. That's all you need really!
This the first year that I skipped the s line, I'm finally all in on the fold, it does everything I want. Camera on the ultra seems amazing but I'm just not willing to give up everything else to fold 4 does, just for a better camera. Plus I actually like the camera on the fold 4, it does everything I need
That's where I'm at. I had the 22 Ultra and a Flip 4. Even with the camera difference. The ability to fold a phone is unrivaled. The Flip was great for fitting into small spots, and the Fold will be great for keeping a tablet on me with only the size of a phone. I'm stuck on which one of the new ones I'm dropping money on; but the Fold definitely seems like the way.
I have the Fold 4 and bought the S23U to test. Love both as they bring different things to the plate. The folding screen is still amazing to me and I cant replace it. The S23U large screen is amazing too and so smooth. I'm keeping both as they can fit different needs for different days going out.
I couldn't take the lackluster cameras on the fold line anymore and jumped back to the "Note" line with the S23 Ultra! Whew! I haven't stopped taking pictures since I got this phone a couple weeks ago!!!🤩🤩🤩
haha I totally understand that. For you the better camera outweights the foldable aspect, I can see taht being the case for a lot of people. Great to have these amazing options though!
it’s not a note , the note series was never about just the S pen my friend , the note was the do everything , have everything phone . This is an S series with an S pen , and it may be a good phone or even a great phone , but a proper galaxy note it is not. RIP the proper Galaxy Note.
@@mikldude9376 What did the note line do that the s23u cannot? I’ve had the note 9 and 10 and jumped to iPhone when they discontinued. Excited to get the s23u since it really resembles the note but let me know what you’re referring to
He is so right and if you don't do direct comparisons there really is very little difference unless You use the zoom a lot.. I will never go back to a slab phone ever plenty of experience with the 22 ultra, and the Galaxy Note. The screens the entertainment value just seems awkward and small using those phones. I thought it was just going back to the small screen on the fold front. But then I used my girlfriend's 22 ultra and it just didn't cut it anymore. The guy is 100% right The cameras don't really make that much difference anymore they are all great on pretty much any phone.. unless you're obsessed with the zoom.. I really don't miss it most pictures are not zooming in like that. Even recording the moon I can only record 33 times my girlfriend can record a hundred times with the 10 times optical zoom. There was a difference but it was not that much of a big deal.
The only thing that drives me crazy on fold is how reflective the inner screen of fold 4 is... Otherwise it's a beast, but I traded it for s23 ultra and tbh I don't regret it, atm 😅
Yes and I made a terrible mistake when I unboxed it and removed the protector that came with it 🤯 I'm looking after it and still holding up really well but I reflection can be annoying depending on where you're using it
Absolutely, overall the Samsung screens are very reflective and I agree for the Fold 4. I wanted the wide screen to show pictures to people easily but it's getting in the way!
So good right? The S23 Ultra are great too, I realised I made a mistake when I had both phones on the bracket. I accidentally covered the S23 Ultra’s mic with the Fold next to it 🤦♂️ But when I had just a S 23 ultra by itself, is sounded great. To be fair, both are excellent
I like the fold 4, but it's been 6 months and the hinge doesn't close anymore and the cover screen has been glitching out...I get my replacement next week, but I'm highly considering switching to the S23 ultra until the fold line is more refined...I'd love to see the cover screen that's the size of a normal phone, integrated s pen, and a DUST resistance rating....until then, I'll be going back to the S line.
Great video Alex, like you I got the Fold4 on launch day, and unless the Fold5 brings substantial improvements on the camera side, i will stick with this Fold4 for another year. Your video is on point. One example is the fact that the Samsung camera app on pro mode lets you use external bluetooth and usb-c microphones. I've never seen that with Apple, to be honest. I have moved slowly and completely away from Apple's closed garden. It was a pain dealing with iCloud photos on an android device, let alone downloading a copy of all my photos.
Thank you so much! Yes, I did notice that as well that the microphone behave differently, depending on how I was recording. It makes sense now that I think about it and still impressive. Honestly, unless there’s a lot of wind, I’ll probably just use the phone without an external mic, but great to know that I can use my Bluetooth and USB-c mics. I had actually recorded another three minutes talking about the ecosystem argument , for the video was already dragging on a bit 😂 i’m glad you managed to detach yourself from it though!
Thank you so much! Yes, I appreciate that these ads can be of little to no interest to some people so I thought I'd make it useful. Glad tmit worked 😊 welcome to the channel 🙏🏼
Man that fold is so tempting. Also awesome videos. Can't believe you aren't at a 100k yet, just ran into your channel. The quality of your videos and review style are very high quality. I've been using a Note 20 ultra forever waiting on something that was a big jump enough to move me over. The Fold 4 and 23 Ultra look like it. Since the Fold 5 should come out this year I'll wait for that before making a final decision.
Thank you very much Darwin, I really appreciate it. I think I made a mistake actually and covered the microphone on the S23 Ultra think some of the shots, when I had them side-by-side. Rookie mistake but I think he gives a good idea of how good both of them are
got my fold 4 yesterday and im absolutely loving it. i was on the note 20 ultra before but wanted something different, something that isnt just upgraded specs, and the fold 4 is everything i wanted
Have used fold 4 for 18 months now and sent it thrice for a warranty screen repair. Two times for the inner screen and recently for the outer screen. All going black. Not expected from a samsung phone. Good while it works but this is unacceptable. Plus the cameras are nowhere when compared to the ultra series.
I'm a multitasking extremist. I constantly have multiple apps split screened on my Fold 3. I didn't upgrade to the 4, because I figured I would get the best bang for my buck, waiting for the Fold 5. I'm the same with my laptop and got myself a zenbook pro duo, connected to a projector as my 3rd screen. Particularly with my job, I can remote into a user's computer, while connected to a server or admin account to give them access to shared drives, sharepoint, email, or just troubleshooting whatever issue they may be having. Even my desk at work has 4 monitors... So I'm pretty sure anyone can see where I'm going with this... I'll be using a Fold as my daily driver over any slab phone for the foreseeable future. Edited to say, I LOVE your videos. Your videos feel like I'm talking to a friend who's opinions I trust are authentic and not just someone who can't see past their preferred ecosystem. And the production value is top notch!
Thank you so much for this comment and I am so sorry that it took me so long to respond. I really appreciate you saying this. Wishing you a great week ahead, hope to see you here soon 🙏🏼
Many Fold users, myself included, complain about the narrow outer screen, and it's frustrating that Samsung continues to ignore this feedback. Even the Google Pixel offers a better, more practical outer display. If Samsung ever decides to listen to its customers and releases a Z Fold with an outer screen the size of the S23 or S24, includes a built-in S Pen, and equips it with the best cameras from their top models, I’d gladly spend $2k and switch back to the Z Fold. Until then, I'll just watch them play their marketing games with an underwhelming outer screen and minimal improvements.
I've had the S23 Ultra for about a week and it's an amazing phone. The speakers and sound quality are superb. The camera is basically a professional camera. The screen is really good. I just want a 4k screen and a micro SD slot and it's perfect. I'm sure the updates will make the phone even better too.
My favorite features on the 23 Ultra. 1) The clarity of the screen. I can actually SEE MY SCREEN in bright sunlight!! 2) The upgraded audio. Stereo speakers make a big difference 3) I have always loved the S pen 4) Battery life....battery life and battery life!!!
I was lucky to have the Snap gen1 on my s22 ultra , so skipping an upgrade I guess that mic audio quality part though is a very important note though , so thanks for highlighting it
I’m switching from Apple. It’s a bit too restricting and I was a Samsung user back in the day so I’m going to see how the galaxy fold Z will do me. When I am on my phone it’s usually only for TH-cam and gaming and such I don’t use social media otherwise. But hopefully it will be a good swap
I love fold 4. Used to have a Note phone line, but found myself not using a pen that often. Dex is so underrated! Cameras aside, fold is much better for me. It is real 2in1 product. Cheers 🍻
Fantastic review Alex! As a songwriter, arranger - the Fold 4 gives me the multitasking ability to transcribe, notate and share scores on the fly. Coming from the note range (2, 4, 5, 8, 10+ and 20 Ultra), I'm used to working with SNote, One Note, NotateMe etc. Since using the Fold 4 (for almost 12 mths), it just makes my workflow so much more simpler and less frustrating. Apart from music, this amazing piece of kit has been valuable in my side-jobs as well.... Freelance Court Reporting/Captioning and Professional Photography.
Wow the fold 4 actually is still better in many areas. I found the mic better. I also find the video recording better. I also find the color reproduction of the images better while 23 ultra is sharper the fold has better colors. The speakers on the fold are also better by a long shot because it's using 2 large speakers
Thank you so much, Matthew! I appreciate that those sponsored slots can be annoying as not everyone is interested, so I thought I’d try to make them a little bit more fun and useful. Glad you enjoyed it! Have a good one 👊🏼
Great video mate! I recently traded in my ZFold 3 for the S23U 1TB and haven't looked back. Also have a few mates that traded in their Zfolld 4's for the the new ultra and no regrets there either. Earned yourself a new sub! G'day from downunder 🇦🇺😍
G’day mate! 😊 oh wow, this is awesome! Yes, I think Samsung smashed it with the S 23 ultra… Have a lovely Sunday, I can imagine a barbecue is on the horizon for you. Still a bit crappy over here in the UK.
@@AlexGTech thanks mate! Haha no BBQ today just watching reviews on the upcoming PSVR2. Can't wait to get my hands on it! Bring on Wednesday! Any chance you'll be buying one too? Would make for some awesome content! 😻
100% agree! Sorry Milo, not sure how I managed to miss this comment 🙏🏼 Really appreciate the support there too. It's been 3 months already and I am still loving the S23 Ultra / Fold 4 combo!
3 month old video but you got me to sub. I am using the Note 20 Ultra and have since its launch. Love this phone and it's the first Note I have ever held onto this long without upgrading. This year I want to dip my toe into the Fold pool. So I am waiting on the Fold 5. Seeing that the Fold 4 camera is still capable of taking solid photos and videos considering they can't make it a beast like the ultra. I am now feeling better that the 5 camera will be just as good as the 4 or even a little better. Solid video again. I love that you skip all the spec info because it just comes down to how the phone works in the real world.
Cool, clear, well-structured, wisely delivered, great content and amazing pictures and videos, wonderful voice and sound convinced me to subscribe to this channel ! Well-done ! 👍👍👍👍👍
Whoa, the quality of this video is insane. I didn't notice you only had 49k subs..... you really deserve a lot more!! I guarantee you will blow up soon
Mate, just happened across this video, great content, nice to hear views not commonly said. I like your style and well, I subscribed, look forward to seeing more of your videos!
If you are into emulation, the Fold 4 is a no brainer - the aspect ratio of the tablet screen is almost perfect for 4:3 content. Paired with a decent controller add-on (I use the Nacon MG-X Pro), its an emulation monster!
@blackbriarwolf handheld video game consoles have been around way longer than cell phones/phablets. Nothing surprising about people using large phones for emulation.
Hi Nick! The clamps them selves are from Neewer. Nothing too special, Manfrotto do better ones but these aren’t so bad. amzn.to/3IBbBSG The bracket where I mount the clamps onto is this one: amzn.to/415ENsg
Amazing video Alex, I sold my fold 4 and got the s23 ultra, in my experience using the fold for 5 months it is a fantastic device for media consumption and general uses, but s23 ultra for me is the Android I dreamed of, almost a perfect device
It’s certainly been a breath of fresh air. I’m quite fortunate to be able to keep both but I’d find it very difficult to let go of my Fold. Still use it everyday where the form factor makes more sense. But the S23 Ultra has retired my iPhone (video on that soon!) and is now my main camera when I’m not using my DSLR
Alex i enjoyed you as an honest reviewer, i stopped watching alot of TH-cam reviewers because Apple has them in their back pockets, you could tell the bias and preconceptions against Samsung when they reviewed their products, but you tell the truth about each smartphone, I'm subscribing to your channel.
Lololl to be honest most reviewers biased toward both apple and Samsung. It's always like fanboy or ads for apple and Samsung, then harsh review for other brands
What a great video again! Thanks so much 🙏 as those were exactly the questions I ask myself. As I love both of those phones. Totally agree with you in all aspects. Love your channel and your reviews. Thanks so much for your work 🙏 😊 🌼
Thanks for this and I really enjoyed it. I think a more significant difference between the two is the battery and I would like to see a test in comparison as I suspect the fold will be a fair chunk worse.
Thanks Nick, I think you’re right. Under heavy usage though (whole day out from 8AM, recording over 100 clips in 4K, attending conference calls, using navigation, etc) the Fold lasted till about 10PM which to me was quite impressive. Sure it would be nice if it lasted till next day under that usage but with two displays and considering my usage in this example I was pretty ok with it. Comparatively I haven’t extensively tested yet but I think you’re right, the S23 Ultra should outperform the Fold…
Very informative Alex, really enjoyed how you compared these two phones. For me the S23 is my choice. I do think the Mic sounds better on the F4. Thanks for a super video my friend 👍
Thanks Lee!! I actually realised I had the mic covered by the Fold when I had them side by side on the bracket 🤦🏽♂️ At least you know now that this video wasn’t created by AI 😂 The S23 Ultra sounded much better when I had it by itself and in the previous video. Have a lovely Sunday Lee, hope you’re well!
I’ve just ordered a fold 4 as half price on Amazon in UK. That is £878 vs £1000 for s23 Ultra, with its fab camera etc. But I doubt I’d get on with the Ultra, bulkiness yes, massive brick in pocket no. Why can’t they make a top range phone in something with a slightly smaller screen? Fold 5 seems to have a flusher fit of screen, but definitely not worth to me asking price. Great upload, best on TH-cam on topic!
I am thinking about this deal too. Not sure whether to go for fold 4 on Amazon at £878 or fold 5 from Samsung Store where they are offering £300 trade in for any phone meaning price of Fold 5 would be around £1400 and can be paid interest free over 3 years.
@@tictactaylor5255 Thanks for your reply, yes, I ended up purchasing the same Amazon deal. The Fold 4 slight gap will be covered with an s pen case anyway, otherwise not much difference between Fold 4 and Fold 5 apart from the massive price difference. Cheers.
From Singapore. Great reviews. Since I switched from a Note 10+ to Fold 4, Fold 4 has brought a lot of convenience as my daily driver. The S23U body built is so similar to the past Note series
Using a 13 pro max and z fold 4 here. I choose z fold 4 instead of s23 ultra because i need that folding screen for work purposes. Editing in CAD drawings in bigger screen is a no joke. I can literally bring my fold 4 anywhere especially to meetings and present my works in front of client and revised them even I’m out of my computer.
13:07 completely disagree on the the ecosystem unfortunately. It’s just not as good (for me). I’ll start with the watch5 pro. There just aren’t any good bands for it. Yes there are traditional watch bands ( a ton of them you can use) but there aren’t many bands made for this watch like with WATCH. It’s nice having a band made with a smart watch in mind. Like I can’t find a silicone band for for the Samsung watch anywhere near as good as the one makes. Also I’m not a fan of how slow the Samsung watch it. It freezes frequently and randomly through out the day to the point I just pull my phone and question why I wear it. I also am not a fan of the watch faces available. Apple put a lot of effort into theirs and Samsung’s offerings seem so basic. Yes you can download some from the play store but I’m comparing out of the box experiences. Samsungs tablet is okay but it’s pokey compared to the iPad and the third party quality for apps is subpar. Example there are still a lot of apps (like Reddit) that won’t do landscape orientation. Not Samsungs fault obviously but it still makes the experience worse than using an iPad. Less apps, less quality. The buds are okay but they aren’t AirPods Pro. My galaxy buds pro (2?) are fine for the most part but randomly drop connection. There’s also a nasty bug where if you receive a notification the volume lowers and doesn’t resume original setting once the alert is over. I think Samsung has got the phone pretty much nailed down and needs to work on other parts of the ecosystem.
Thank you Stephen! I think I realised as I was editing that I covered the mic on the S23 Ultra when I had them both in the bracket 🙈 When I recorded the S23U by itself and in my previous review, it sounded less muffled. My bad! Both are excellent to be fair…
The Fold's audio recording was much clearer. The S23 Ultra had to much reverb, sounded a bit like talking into a bucket. The split screen outdoor shot didn't specify which phone, but seemed to suggest it was only the S23 audio. The audio comparison interlaced with the promotional segment was a brilliant approach!
I was an Iphone user, like strict Iphone user but I was super curious about the z fold and z flip so I decided to buy a z flip just to see if I liked it and the only regret I have with switching is the camera quality on social media, especially the front facing camera but other than that I have no regrets.
Out of interest guys in which situations would you use Samsung dex? I always happen to have a laptop or computer with me, so wondering whether ppl are going out of their way to use dex for the novelty e.g.
I purchased the S23U and kept my Z Fold 4. I'll wait to see how the Z Fold 5 updates in August or September. Both are fine devices and I'll use the S23 Ultra as my primary.
Amazing video, really makes a difference! Your videos are really objective especially when it comes to comparing apple and Samsung, thank you for your informative videos, You are doing an excellent job!
Thank you very much Richard! I used to feel bad asking in every video, but my stats confirm what you’re saying. When I don’t remind, I don’t get as many subs. I do try to do it after I’ve delivered something, as a viewer myself, I find it a little bit annoying when I am asked right at the beginning of the video 😂 welcome to the channel, I hope you enjoy my stuff 👊🏼
@@AlexGTech Thank you, i really enjoyed whatching your passion about the great devices and the comparrison. Really, great timing for the advice to go check the sub, like area - i feel not annoyed when as you pointed out 'you delivered' already great stuff - i kind feel like oh shoot i forogt it, thy for reminding - so really great timing Alex ;-)
I've been tempted to get the s23 ultra. I used to be a galaxy note user and my last one was the note 20 ultra and before I had: note 9 and note 10+ but when Samsung decided not to release a new one anymore and I saw the Fold 3 I definitely knew that would be my next move. Glad I did it because I love so much the Z fold lineup. Currently I rocking a silver Z Fold 3 and cameras are not enough for me to go back to the S lineup. Besides I've got an iPhone 13 Pro Max and still has an awesome camera... so I'm gonna wait for the Z fold 5 and in that point we'll see many people trade in their S23 haha... Z fold 5 and Iphone 15 Pro Max are my next combo🔥🔥
Great review, lots of detail and well thought out content. I have the S22 Ultra which is a great phone and have resisted upgrading to the S23 Ultra so far! I hope to hang on for the fold 5!
Did you test audio quality when recording on loud environment loke concert/club. On my fold 2 its horrible and i wonder if they fixed it. iPhone handles it great.
All i know is that regardless which phone you choose, Samsung has truly innovated in the space of choice for the consumer. I mean they kinda have always been that. Remember the "Galaxy Mega and how it was not only a tall phone but a wide one? IT was pretty much a minitablet with smartphone capabilities not too dissimilar to the Z Fold 4. The evolution into the foldable was a natural next step which makes the form factor much more practical and the general concept much more versatile.
I think the camera is superb on the S23U now, nothing comes close at the high end. For standard point and shoot family/pets stuff then both will be more than good enough, but for potentially professional work the S23U ticks many boxes. I am still shocked at how good it is!
Great video Alex, but I'll comment in Portuguese, since you're Brazilian, just like me 😁. Quero fazer o upgrade do meu S21 Ultra esse ano. Estou esperando o fold 5, mas confesso que o S23 ultra mexeu com meu coração. Espero que o fold 5 supere minhas expectativas. Você arrasa!

Watching on S23 ultra green 12/256. WoW this is epic. Your videos also. Great going on👍
I will switch to fold only if has wider screen front, and UDC on the inner screen will be usable for zoom conference. Also need a flagship camera on such a flagship fold.

@ 5:06 8K on S213 Ultra.... Oops! Thanks for the awesome content!
L2
The deciding factor for me, rn--Which handles PoGo & Kartrider better? Can you assist on that?
I was going to take the plunge to the S23U but decided I'll stick with my Fold 3 until the Fold 5 comes out. Or until the screen breaks. Lol I would really miss a lot of the features that the Fold brings in terms of multitasking. And having a tablet on demand for video playback after recording footage and then making a small clip to share with parents is awesome.
Great video. More real world usage than a lot of other review videos.
Thank you Ian!! Yes, I am legit excited for the Fold 5. In the past I kinda ignored the foldables but since this Fold 4, I am 100% a convert. Looking forward to it
I also have the fold 3,I paid 650 for it,, awaiting for the fold 5. And I will still keep my 3. and just wait for the 5 price drop.
Great video! I'm glad someone finally put video content between these devices side by side, because of the Z4 format factor the fold videos are not that much bigger, especially in 21:9 aspect ratio
Wow, this is an excellent video. So informative and professional but relaxed and conversational at the same time. Well done. And thank you for commenting on the phone call quality and reception. Most reviewers don't even mention this important aspect of the "phone." Also, the video looked and sounded top notch on my new S23 Ultra!

I too had fold 4 since last August. I traded it for the s23 ultra, and it finally feels like Samsung hit it out of the park with this one, I haven't loved a phone this much since my beloved note 10+. As far as the fold,4 goes, for me after 6 months I was over the fold. S 23 ultra is awesome in every way
I understand that! I am a full convert now into foldable phones and don't see me moving away from the Fold, but the S23 Ultra is 100% the best device out there especially if you care about the quality of videos and photos. I can't praise it enough...
The problem with fold is reliability and the screen crease get that done to a bairly visible and I ilr get one maybe if they make it ultra aswel for me I want the screen to basically be two notes that fold together I want a 8 inch tablet that I can unfold in front of all the isheep lol lol
Similar story here but with Fold 3 and S22U. I liked the Fold, but was so glad to be back with a slab. Note 10+ was definitely my favorite as well. I am intrigued by the Fold 5 possibilities however, and may consider going fold again.
Another amazing video Alex. For me I think the slab is more my style. Reason being because the display on the s23ultra is large and apps and videos are more optimized for it but also because I always have my tab s8ultra on hand or in my work bag. I honestly can't wait to see how much the tabs9ultra will be with the next version of snapdragon. I also don't like the narrow texting or super wide texting on the fold devices not even the flip as the aspect ratio is tall and narrow. If they made the flip a little bit wider and shorter that would be something to consider.
@@kaiichinose9590 I've pre ordered the S23U. I love photography on phones so that was my main decision. The fold does appeal because I've stopped carrying my tablet because I cba to carry any other device.
The S23U seems to be just right in all areas. That's all you need really!
This the first year that I skipped the s line, I'm finally all in on the fold, it does everything I want. Camera on the ultra seems amazing but I'm just not willing to give up everything else to fold 4 does, just for a better camera. Plus I actually like the camera on the fold 4, it does everything I need
That's where I'm at. I had the 22 Ultra and a Flip 4. Even with the camera difference. The ability to fold a phone is unrivaled.
The Flip was great for fitting into small spots, and the Fold will be great for keeping a tablet on me with only the size of a phone.
I'm stuck on which one of the new ones I'm dropping money on; but the Fold definitely seems like the way.
@@FLXTLINE_M3you should wait for the new fold 5 that’s coming out soon.
fold cameras are great. now the inside cam not all that but you have 3 options lol
Everyone of these videos always ends with "It all comes down to what is best for you and what you need"... never a clear cut answer on which is best..
I have the Fold 4 and bought the S23U to test. Love both as they bring different things to the plate. The folding screen is still amazing to me and I cant replace it. The S23U large screen is amazing too and so smooth. I'm keeping both as they can fit different needs for different days going out.
Having both is basically a superpower 🤣 I agree with you, they both have their place in different situations
I'm kinda jealous that you can have both lol
No mobile phone camera can replace dslr and no fold phone can replace tablet / laptop / desktop.
@@saltnpepper6675 No DLSR or laptop or desktop can fit in your pocket.
Same! It just sucks when the new fold comes out cause I will probably find a way to afford it and justify an upgrade....again haha
I couldn't take the lackluster cameras on the fold line anymore and jumped back to the "Note" line with the S23 Ultra! Whew! I haven't stopped taking pictures since I got this phone a couple weeks ago!!!🤩🤩🤩
haha I totally understand that. For you the better camera outweights the foldable aspect, I can see taht being the case for a lot of people. Great to have these amazing options though!
it’s not a note , the note series was never about just the S pen my friend , the note was the do everything , have everything phone .
This is an S series with an S pen , and it may be a good phone or even a great phone , but a proper galaxy note it is not.
RIP the proper Galaxy Note.
@@mikldude9376 What did the note line do that the s23u cannot? I’ve had the note 9 and 10 and jumped to iPhone when they discontinued. Excited to get the s23u since it really resembles the note but let me know what you’re referring to
Of course !!!! FOLD overpriced too fragile no dust protection cameras suck, too lacking
He is so right and if you don't do direct comparisons there really is very little difference unless You use the zoom a lot..
I will never go back to a slab phone ever plenty of experience with the 22 ultra, and the Galaxy Note. The screens the entertainment value just seems awkward and small using those phones. I thought it was just going back to the small screen on the fold front. But then I used my girlfriend's 22 ultra and it just didn't cut it anymore.
The guy is 100% right The cameras don't really make that much difference anymore they are all great on pretty much any phone.. unless you're obsessed with the zoom..
I really don't miss it most pictures are not zooming in like that.
Even recording the moon I can only record 33 times my girlfriend can record a hundred times with the 10 times optical zoom. There was a difference but it was not that much of a big deal.
Ive had the fold 4 for less than a year and am on my 3rd warranty repair. They just arent ready for primetime.
The only thing that drives me crazy on fold is how reflective the inner screen of fold 4 is... Otherwise it's a beast, but I traded it for s23 ultra and tbh I don't regret it, atm 😅
Yes and I made a terrible mistake when I unboxed it and removed the protector that came with it 🤯 I'm looking after it and still holding up really well but I reflection can be annoying depending on where you're using it
Can't wait to I guess get one now
Absolutely, overall the Samsung screens are very reflective and I agree for the Fold 4. I wanted the wide screen to show pictures to people easily but it's getting in the way!
Damn the fold 4 microphones are on another level. That noise cancellation is excellent
So good right? The S23 Ultra are great too, I realised I made a mistake when I had both phones on the bracket. I accidentally covered the S23 Ultra’s mic with the Fold next to it 🤦♂️
But when I had just a S 23 ultra by itself, is sounded great. To be fair, both are excellent
An older video that still earned a new sub. Good work, sir.
I like the fold 4, but it's been 6 months and the hinge doesn't close anymore and the cover screen has been glitching out...I get my replacement next week, but I'm highly considering switching to the S23 ultra until the fold line is more refined...I'd love to see the cover screen that's the size of a normal phone, integrated s pen, and a DUST resistance rating....until then, I'll be going back to the S line.
yo ahora cambio mi fold4 ( despues 1 año y ya anda mal. muchos problemas) por S23ultra
Great video Alex, like you I got the Fold4 on launch day, and unless the Fold5 brings substantial improvements on the camera side, i will stick with this Fold4 for another year.
Your video is on point. One example is the fact that the Samsung camera app on pro mode lets you use external bluetooth and usb-c microphones. I've never seen that with Apple, to be honest. I have moved slowly and completely away from Apple's closed garden. It was a pain dealing with iCloud photos on an android device, let alone downloading a copy of all my photos.
Thank you so much! Yes, I did notice that as well that the microphone behave differently, depending on how I was recording. It makes sense now that I think about it and still impressive. Honestly, unless there’s a lot of wind, I’ll probably just use the phone without an external mic, but great to know that I can use my Bluetooth and USB-c mics.
I had actually recorded another three minutes talking about the ecosystem argument , for the video was already dragging on a bit 😂 i’m glad you managed to detach yourself from it though!
Fold5 finally came to Open PO.. but it's just minor update...
Very smart of you to do the audio comparison while promoting the sponsor. I like it - subbed!
Thank you so much! Yes, I appreciate that these ads can be of little to no interest to some people so I thought I'd make it useful. Glad tmit worked 😊 welcome to the channel 🙏🏼
Man that fold is so tempting. Also awesome videos. Can't believe you aren't at a 100k yet, just ran into your channel. The quality of your videos and review style are very high quality. I've been using a Note 20 ultra forever waiting on something that was a big jump enough to move me over. The Fold 4 and 23 Ultra look like it. Since the Fold 5 should come out this year I'll wait for that before making a final decision.
I'm doing exactly the same thing, except I'm comparing the Zfold 5 to the iphone 15 pro max whenever they both come out.
Excellent video! You did a great job on the Mics. I know it took a lot of effort to have this kind of video
Thank you very much Darwin, I really appreciate it. I think I made a mistake actually and covered the microphone on the S23 Ultra think some of the shots, when I had them side-by-side. Rookie mistake but I think he gives a good idea of how good both of them are
got my fold 4 yesterday and im absolutely loving it. i was on the note 20 ultra before but wanted something different, something that isnt just upgraded specs, and the fold 4 is everything i wanted
We are on the same page , just that my phone is note 10+ and I'm yet to get my fold 4.
You are me lol
Have used fold 4 for 18 months now and sent it thrice for a warranty screen repair. Two times for the inner screen and recently for the outer screen. All going black.
Not expected from a samsung phone. Good while it works but this is unacceptable. Plus the cameras are nowhere when compared to the ultra series.
I love your view on things, brother. Great down to earth video .
Thank you Alex! I've been burned many times before 😅 probably why I'm more relaxed these days. Have a great rest of the weekend!
Great video! Where can I find that live wallpaper at 2:53, the car driving thru the city?
Had the s22 ultra and upgraded to the fold 4. I can't see myself moving away from the fold. Love that it can turn into a mini tablet!
Your output and presentation is top quality. Rooting for your channels success
Thank you so much!! With support like this the sky is the limit 👊🏼 have a good one
I'm a multitasking extremist. I constantly have multiple apps split screened on my Fold 3. I didn't upgrade to the 4, because I figured I would get the best bang for my buck, waiting for the Fold 5. I'm the same with my laptop and got myself a zenbook pro duo, connected to a projector as my 3rd screen.
Particularly with my job, I can remote into a user's computer, while connected to a server or admin account to give them access to shared drives, sharepoint, email, or just troubleshooting whatever issue they may be having. Even my desk at work has 4 monitors... So I'm pretty sure anyone can see where I'm going with this... I'll be using a Fold as my daily driver over any slab phone for the foreseeable future.
Edited to say, I LOVE your videos. Your videos feel like I'm talking to a friend who's opinions I trust are authentic and not just someone who can't see past their preferred ecosystem. And the production value is top notch!
Thank you so much for this comment and I am so sorry that it took me so long to respond. I really appreciate you saying this. Wishing you a great week ahead, hope to see you here soon 🙏🏼
Many Fold users, myself included, complain about the narrow outer screen, and it's frustrating that Samsung continues to ignore this feedback. Even the Google Pixel offers a better, more practical outer display.
If Samsung ever decides to listen to its customers and releases a Z Fold with an outer screen the size of the S23 or S24, includes a built-in S Pen, and equips it with the best cameras from their top models, I’d gladly spend $2k and switch back to the Z Fold.
Until then, I'll just watch them play their marketing games with an underwhelming outer screen and minimal improvements.
I've had the S23 Ultra for about a week and it's an amazing phone. The speakers and sound quality are superb. The camera is basically a professional camera. The screen is really good. I just want a 4k screen and a micro SD slot and it's perfect. I'm sure the updates will make the phone even better too.
My favorite features on the 23 Ultra. 1) The clarity of the screen. I can actually SEE MY SCREEN in bright sunlight!! 2) The upgraded audio. Stereo speakers make a big difference 3) I have always loved the S pen 4) Battery life....battery life and battery life!!!
I was lucky to have the Snap gen1 on my s22 ultra , so skipping an upgrade I guess
that mic audio quality part though is a very important note though , so thanks for highlighting it
Yes, my S22U has been pretty iffy. Admittedly it’s been ok since the last update but now I am selling it…
great video on a subject i was considering myself! thanks
My pleasure 🥰
I’m switching from Apple. It’s a bit too restricting and I was a Samsung user back in the day so I’m going to see how the galaxy fold Z will do me. When I am on my phone it’s usually only for TH-cam and gaming and such I don’t use social media otherwise. But hopefully it will be a good swap
I love fold 4. Used to have a Note phone line, but found myself not using a pen that often. Dex is so underrated! Cameras aside, fold is much better for me. It is real 2in1 product. Cheers 🍻
😊
Awesome video as usual. They're getting better and better good job
Thank you so much, that’s very kind of you to say so. Have a lovely week ahead. 😎
Fantastic review Alex! As a songwriter, arranger - the Fold 4 gives me the multitasking ability to transcribe, notate and share scores on the fly. Coming from the note range (2, 4, 5, 8, 10+ and 20 Ultra), I'm used to working with SNote, One Note, NotateMe etc. Since using the Fold 4 (for almost 12 mths), it just makes my workflow so much more simpler and less frustrating. Apart from music, this amazing piece of kit has been valuable in my side-jobs as well.... Freelance Court Reporting/Captioning and Professional Photography.
Great video!!.....you keep getting better and better.
Thank you so much!!
Bro, the production quality on this video is off the charts. Instant subscribe
Wow the fold 4 actually is still better in many areas. I found the mic better. I also find the video recording better. I also find the color reproduction of the images better while 23 ultra is sharper the fold has better colors. The speakers on the fold are also better by a long shot because it's using 2 large speakers
Probably it's 600 dollars more
Awesome review. Thanks for sharing. Struggling to decide which one to upgrade to.
What a genius way to integrate your ad so that no one skips it. Bravo
Thank you so much, Matthew! I appreciate that those sponsored slots can be annoying as not everyone is interested, so I thought I’d try to make them a little bit more fun and useful. Glad you enjoyed it! Have a good one 👊🏼
Amazing quality video production 👍👍
Thank you so much!!
Great video mate! I recently traded in my ZFold 3 for the S23U 1TB and haven't looked back. Also have a few mates that traded in their Zfolld 4's for the the new ultra and no regrets there either.
Earned yourself a new sub!
G'day from downunder 🇦🇺😍
G’day mate! 😊 oh wow, this is awesome! Yes, I think Samsung smashed it with the S 23 ultra…
Have a lovely Sunday, I can imagine a barbecue is on the horizon for you. Still a bit crappy over here in the UK.
@@AlexGTech thanks mate! Haha no BBQ today just watching reviews on the upcoming PSVR2. Can't wait to get my hands on it! Bring on Wednesday!

The quality of content on your channel was amazing! Reminds me of MrWhoseTheBoss! Arun would be proud :)
Wow, that some compliment 🤩thanks!
3 month old video but you got me to sub. I am using the Note 20 Ultra and have since its launch. Love this phone and it's the first Note I have ever held onto this long without upgrading. This year I want to dip my toe into the Fold pool. So I am waiting on the Fold 5. Seeing that the Fold 4 camera is still capable of taking solid photos and videos considering they can't make it a beast like the ultra. I am now feeling better that the 5 camera will be just as good as the 4 or even a little better. Solid video again. I love that you skip all the spec info because it just comes down to how the phone works in the real world.
Oh boy, you made me Listen to squarespace advertisement happily. Very smart. 🎉
I know it's not something everyone would be interested in so I tried to make it useful 🥰 Glad it worked!

If you are into emulation, the Fold 4 is a no brainer - the aspect ratio of the tablet screen is almost perfect for 4:3 content. Paired with a decent controller add-on (I use the Nacon MG-X Pro), its an emulation monster!
can you tell me what app you use for emulation
@blackbriarwolf its a mini tablet the screen is big enough i've seen people cloud play games like forza horizon on their small phone
@blackbriarwolf handheld video game consoles have been around way longer than cell phones/phablets. Nothing surprising about people using large phones for emulation.
Please could I ask where the phone clamps when you held the dual phone rig came from?
Hi Nick! The clamps them selves are from Neewer. Nothing too special, Manfrotto do better ones but these aren’t so bad. amzn.to/3IBbBSG
The bracket where I mount the clamps onto is this one: amzn.to/415ENsg
Amazing video Alex, I sold my fold 4 and got the s23 ultra, in my experience using the fold for 5 months it is a fantastic device for media consumption and general uses, but s23 ultra for me is the Android I dreamed of, almost a perfect device
I'm curious to know more specifics as to why.
It’s certainly been a breath of fresh air. I’m quite fortunate to be able to keep both but I’d find it very difficult to let go of my Fold. Still use it everyday where the form factor makes more sense. But the S23 Ultra has retired my iPhone (video on that soon!) and is now my main camera when I’m not using my DSLR
Which speakers were better?
Very little difference in the speakers. For alert sounds the Z Fold 4 sounds fuller and for music I'd say the S23 Ultra sounds slightly better.
@@adamski101 The Fold5 has now taken the krone.
Alex i enjoyed you as an honest reviewer, i stopped watching alot of TH-cam reviewers because Apple has them in their back pockets, you could tell the bias and preconceptions against Samsung when they reviewed their products, but you tell the truth about each smartphone, I'm subscribing to your channel.
Oh wow, thank you so much!! That really means a lot you know? I will make sure to keep creating videos like this 🙏🏼 Have a great day!
Lololl to be honest most reviewers biased toward both apple and Samsung.
It's always like fanboy or ads for apple and Samsung, then harsh review for other brands
Can you tell me where to get the opening theme for the fold 4 shown in the beginning
If you search for Black Elite you will find it under live wallpapers through Samsung
Hey, what live wallpaper is that on the fold 4?? I couldn't find it.. Could you link it?? :(
What a great video again! Thanks so much 🙏 as those were exactly the questions I ask myself. As I love both of those phones. Totally agree with you in all aspects. Love your channel and your reviews. Thanks so much for your work 🙏 😊 🌼
No, thank YOU Gabi! Support like this is what makes channels grow, have a lovely Sunday and week ahead ✨
@@AlexGTech dito! 🍀
Great video! I have to ask, what wallpaper do you have on the fold? That intro with that blue background was nice
Thank you so much for this review 🙏🏾 i appreciate it
Great video I like the bloopers well done
🥰thanks so much 🙏🏼
5:11 it says 8k on S213 Ultra😅??
Thanks for this and I really enjoyed it. I think a more significant difference between the two is the battery and I would like to see a test in comparison as I suspect the fold will be a fair chunk worse.
Thanks Nick, I think you’re right. Under heavy usage though (whole day out from 8AM, recording over 100 clips in 4K, attending conference calls, using navigation, etc) the Fold lasted till about 10PM which to me was quite impressive. Sure it would be nice if it lasted till next day under that usage but with two displays and considering my usage in this example I was pretty ok with it. Comparatively I haven’t extensively tested yet but I think you’re right, the S23 Ultra should outperform the Fold…
Very informative Alex, really enjoyed how you compared these two phones. For me the S23 is my choice. I do think the Mic sounds better on the F4. Thanks for a super video my friend 👍
Thanks Lee!! I actually realised I had the mic covered by the Fold when I had them side by side on the bracket 🤦🏽♂️ At least you know now that this video wasn’t created by AI 😂 The S23 Ultra sounded much better when I had it by itself and in the previous video. Have a lovely Sunday Lee, hope you’re well!
Awesome video Alex 💪🏾❤. I wonder what the fold 5 would be like 🙈❤
Thank you! Me too...
I’ve just ordered a fold 4 as half price on Amazon in UK. That is £878 vs £1000 for s23 Ultra, with its fab camera etc. But I doubt I’d get on with the Ultra, bulkiness yes, massive brick in pocket no. Why can’t they make a top range phone in something with a slightly smaller screen?
Fold 5 seems to have a flusher fit of screen, but definitely not worth to me asking price.
Great upload, best on TH-cam on topic!
I am thinking about this deal too. Not sure whether to go for fold 4 on Amazon at £878 or fold 5 from Samsung Store where they are offering £300 trade in for any phone meaning price of Fold 5 would be around £1400 and can be paid interest free over 3 years.
@@ammo8581 Definitely, fold 4, while stocks last. 5 will get even cheaper at some point.
@@tictactaylor5255 Thanks for your reply, yes, I ended up purchasing the same Amazon deal. The Fold 4 slight gap will be covered with an s pen case anyway, otherwise not much difference between Fold 4 and Fold 5 apart from the massive price difference. Cheers.
really great job man cheers !!!
Thanks very much! Enjoyed making this, when the tech is that good it makes everything easy
From Singapore. Great reviews. Since I switched from a Note 10+ to Fold 4, Fold 4 has brought a lot of convenience as my daily driver. The S23U body built is so similar to the past Note series
Oh wow, thank you so much!! And I agree, the last coupe of S Ultras have been Note phones really.... Have a good one 🙏🏼
Using a 13 pro max and z fold 4 here. I choose z fold 4 instead of s23 ultra because i need that folding screen for work purposes. Editing in CAD drawings in bigger screen is a no joke. I can literally bring my fold 4 anywhere especially to meetings and present my works in front of client and revised them even I’m out of my computer.
I really like your reviews. You desreve way more subs! cheers 👍
13:07 completely disagree on the the ecosystem unfortunately. It’s just not as good (for me). I’ll start with the watch5 pro. There just aren’t any good bands for it. Yes there are traditional watch bands ( a ton of them you can use) but there aren’t many bands made for this watch like with WATCH. It’s nice having a band made with a smart watch in mind. Like I can’t find a silicone band for for the Samsung watch anywhere near as good as the one makes. Also I’m not a fan of how slow the Samsung watch it. It freezes frequently and randomly through out the day to the point I just pull my phone and question why I wear it. I also am not a fan of the watch faces available. Apple put a lot of effort into theirs and Samsung’s offerings seem so basic. Yes you can download some from the play store but I’m comparing out of the box experiences. Samsungs tablet is okay but it’s pokey compared to the iPad and the third party quality for apps is subpar. Example there are still a lot of apps (like Reddit) that won’t do landscape orientation. Not Samsungs fault obviously but it still makes the experience worse than using an iPad. Less apps, less quality. The buds are okay but they aren’t AirPods Pro. My galaxy buds pro (2?) are fine for the most part but randomly drop connection. There’s also a nasty bug where if you receive a notification the volume lowers and doesn’t resume original setting once the alert is over. I think Samsung has got the phone pretty much nailed down and needs to work on other parts of the ecosystem.
I have a fold 3. But deal breaker is i have a black screen when i open phone. Gotta pay 300 for new one. Wanna go back to the Note line up or S
You are the best. Thank You for good work😊
So nice of you, thank you 🙏🏼
Excellent Presentation 👏
I prefer the mics on fold 4 more fully
Thank you Stephen! I think I realised as I was editing that I covered the mic on the S23 Ultra when I had them both in the bracket 🙈 When I recorded the S23U by itself and in my previous review, it sounded less muffled. My bad! Both are excellent to be fair…
Regarding microphone would like to hear your opinion about them
around 8:24 is when I spent sometime testing the mics. Both are great, but the S23 Ultra seems to have the edge. What did you think?
@Alex Gear & Tech yes agreed fold louder but s23 cleaner, but with my ear to hear other people's opinions because I have an issue
The Fold's audio recording was much clearer. The S23 Ultra had to much reverb, sounded a bit like talking into a bucket.
The split screen outdoor shot didn't specify which phone, but seemed to suggest it was only the S23 audio.
The audio comparison interlaced with the promotional segment was a brilliant approach!
I was an Iphone user, like strict Iphone user but I was super curious about the z fold and z flip so I decided to buy a z flip just to see if I liked it and the only regret I have with switching is the camera quality on social media, especially the front facing camera but other than that I have no regrets.
Out of interest guys in which situations would you use Samsung dex? I always happen to have a laptop or computer with me, so wondering whether ppl are going out of their way to use dex for the novelty e.g.
5:10 8K On S213 Ultra 💀 Felt me So High 🥲
I purchased the S23U and kept my Z Fold 4. I'll wait to see how the Z Fold 5 updates in August or September. Both are fine devices and I'll use the S23 Ultra as my primary.
Amazing video, really makes a difference! Your videos are really objective especially when it comes to comparing apple and Samsung, thank you for your informative videos, You are doing an excellent job!
12:28 I think its really important to remind, i always go and check if i am subbed and give a thumps up - just let you know, for me the reminder works
Thank you very much Richard! I used to feel bad asking in every video, but my stats confirm what you’re saying. When I don’t remind, I don’t get as many subs.

Congrats on the content Alex! Awesome video Bro!
ive had fold 4 and s23 ultra and i still dont know which is best i love both. good video 1st ive seen def subscribing keep it up
Which car mount are you using for your Fold?
I've been tempted to get the s23 ultra. I used to be a galaxy note user and my last one was the note 20 ultra and before I had: note 9 and note 10+ but when Samsung decided not to release a new one anymore and I saw the Fold 3 I definitely knew that would be my next move. Glad I did it because I love so much the Z fold lineup. Currently I rocking a silver Z Fold 3 and cameras are not enough for me to go back to the S lineup. Besides I've got an iPhone 13 Pro Max and still has an awesome camera... so I'm gonna wait for the Z fold 5 and in that point we'll see many people trade in their S23 haha... Z fold 5 and Iphone 15 Pro Max are my next combo🔥🔥
My last phone were:
-Note9 Black
-Note10+ 5G Black
-Note20 Ultra Black
-Fold3 Silver
Is it possible that we both rocked the same phones? 😎😂
Awe yeah... You'll be set for a while phone wise
Great review, lots of detail and well thought out content. I have the S22 Ultra which is a great phone and have resisted upgrading to the S23 Ultra so far! I hope to hang on for the fold 5!
Thank you so much!! Yes, the ZF5 will be an absolute beast!
Did you test audio quality when recording on loud environment loke concert/club. On my fold 2 its horrible and i wonder if they fixed it. iPhone handles it great.
Good video as always Alex!!👍
Thank you so much!!
All i know is that regardless which phone you choose, Samsung has truly innovated in the space of choice for the consumer. I mean they kinda have always been that. Remember the "Galaxy Mega and how it was not only a tall phone but a wide one? IT was pretty much a minitablet with smartphone capabilities not too dissimilar to the Z Fold 4. The evolution into the foldable was a natural next step which makes the form factor much more practical and the general concept much more versatile.
Love this guy's down to earth reviews. I'm lucky cause I have both 🤣🤣
Thanks Phillip! And wow, that’s a huge superpower to have these two! I’m loving mine too, the iPhone is collecting a bit of extra dust right now 😂
@@AlexGTech ikr
First time watching!! So great✨
The Fold 5 NEEDS to make significant updates
I am pretty happy with it rigth now, but better cameras would be the cherry on top!
Too overpriced and fragile
@@DENVEROUTDOORMAN what's the colour of your fold?
The problem wirh the fold despite it foldable festure it does not have it own identity...
Honestly have dropped my fold 3 more than any other phone I have had and it holds up the best
Do you want the best media consumption product Or a we bit better Camera
I think the camera is superb on the S23U now, nothing comes close at the high end. For standard point and shoot family/pets stuff then both will be more than good enough, but for potentially professional work the S23U ticks many boxes. I am still shocked at how good it is!
Thanks for the video. Does every game from Google Play fit the screen size?
Great video Alex, but I'll comment in Portuguese, since you're Brazilian, just like me 😁.
Quero fazer o upgrade do meu S21 Ultra esse ano. Estou esperando o fold 5, mas confesso que o S23 ultra mexeu com meu coração. Espero que o fold 5 supere minhas expectativas.
Você arrasa!
