Hello :) thanks for watching, have any of you picked up a Fold 4? or are you thinking of grabbing one? - P.S, this video is exactly 13:37 long. That's sick lol. Also it has 3X optical, NOT 10X. This was a huge oversight on my end.
I got one on black Friday aswell in UK. 1375£ free case and pen and charger. Free tab s6 lite on its way to me. And exchanged s22 ultra for 540£. Bit on the low side for the ultra but still.
Don't worry too much about the inner display. Am using my fold 3 without a case and dropped twice by mistake and it is still surviving fine. Inner screen is perfect and no issues.
@@Lodi-dv5im aha, same😄I'm in the UK and got all these deals too👌🏽just waiting on mine to be delivered and then I'll claim for my s6 lite tablet aswell!🤗
After 12 Years with Apple and my 14 pro Max, i changed to the Fold. I absolutely Loving this wonderful piece of Tech 😂 i used the Front Screen 90% of time but everytime when i unfold the Fold, i'm still in love. The Sound, the Screen, the UI. It's perfect. For me!
Ok question I bought my first iPhone ....a 12 pro max. Went to TH-cam. Which is horrid the camera amazing though. That's all Life long android user here. I feel like I'm in a.dream like iOS user are like my bike is so much better then your Lambo. And they believe it.
I came from the s20 ultra and decided to take the plunge on the fold 3. Man it was a game changer. Being someone who consumes a lot of content on my phone and the fold open a whole new world for me. I use multitasking a lot more and game more when I can. I never really used the s pen when inhad my s20 ultra though so I never got it for the fold 3. Fast forward, I'm on the fold 4 now and got the s pen for free and it just makes the fold even better. I do believe folding phones are what I'll own from now on. Great video!
@@jonvaliagas To me i am on a fold 3 and just can not justify shelling out another 1k upwards on the fold 4 not enough of an upgrade for me. I really hope the rumors of the fold 5 are true because that is looking like an upgrade worth getting basically takes everything wrong with folding phones right now and fixes them all.
I'm a long time Pixel fan. Was interested in Fold 4 but is $1800. I got a renewed fold 3 on Amazon for $700, an amazing piece of tech, UI and everything is great 9.5/10
Vali, I wasn't even planning to buy a new phone soon (been perfectly content with the iPhone Pro Max) but watching your Fold 4 reviews made me get one. Your advice is spot-on! I think it'll be difficult to go back to ANY non-fold device after being on the Z Fold for a while. I'm always tempted by smaller phones (been eyeing the Zenfold 9 and Pixel 6a), but when it comes down to work bigger screens are always a plus. The Z Fold gives you the best of both worlds - it feels like a compact phone to carry and it's easy to use on the move one handed, and then when it comes to work/productivity or any photo/video content… BAM! Flip it open and you can do everything another phone can do, and more, and it looks awesome. And we’re not even talking about also using the S pen or Dex… The wider front screen (hopefully future models will be a touch wider still) and the flagship cameras on this one cleared up the concerns I had with previous models. The Fold 4 has been great fun and super useful to get stuff done. It is pricey, yes. It's also groundbreaking tech.
The Z Fold4 is definitely phone of the year for me. This is one of the best phones when it comes to productivity and media consumption. I find it funny how people are still hating on this phone, including Samsung fans (particularly S22 Ultra users).
I'm with you! When closed it's a perfect size screen for one hand use and when opened it's truly amazing! Traded my Galaxy S22 Ultra which was an great phone in its own right but this phone is in a league of it's own!
@@_techfan you definitely have a defective one or a bug. There's absolutely zero lag on device even with 15 apps open at once. Impossible that it's laggy unless you have a faulty device.
Came from an iPhone 12 pro max to the fold 4......NEVER GOING BACK! The emulation, media consumption, storage, battery life....the list goes on. This thing is AMAZING!
Had the S21 Ultra and switched to the Fold 4. I do miss the zoom capabilities but I love everything else about this phone. The large screen is amazing and I use it all the time. I'm a big guy and I have big hands so it's perfect for me. I also love the screen size. The speakers sound great. Typing with split keyboard just feels natural. However, my only gripe is that some apps get wonky when full screen on the fold 4 inner display but that's easily fixed by changing the how the app opens in settings.
Have you ever thought of using both? I use an s22 ultra by day and my z fold 3 after work at night and on the weekend. Love having them to show off too haha
@last-real-1 gh is there a way to sync info between the two devices? Sort of like WhatsApp if I wanted to copy a barcode or serial number from one phone to the other?
@@mikeh3468 me personally I just used one phone to set up the other so there both the same apps and accounts wise so if someone calls they both ring and stuff like that. There syncd together in that way.
Amazing detailed review and covered everything. I saw it today at store and the display resolution is mind blowing! Also it’s not that thick plus multi tasking on multi screen.. found some great cover as well does exist
Completely agree with your points, got the fold 4 last week on black Friday discounts for 1450$ with a free earphones and a case. Haven't been this excited about a phone a while, finally something refreshing in this boring slab phone market. The battery is good, the inner screen is amazing for productivity/media/reading/multitasking and work related stuff. Was worried about the outer screen being too narrow but got used to it, I just wish it was a bit wider.
I never comment on reviews but this one actually really impressed me. Great content Val! this was actually helpful and never annoyed me like so many other reviews lol
honestly glad i found your channel. found it researching my next phone and i love that while you share your personal opinions you still hit all unbiased points and you do so in a nice amount of time. however id happily watch a longer video from you on in depth opinions cuz your recently posted mini rant video about apple was awesome lmao
I'm on my 21ultra but since it's still a beast I'm thinking of keeping it until the OS updates run out and by then folding phones will hopefully drop down in price due to bigger competition around the world, it's super tempting though.
Yeah I have to agree, the S series, especially the S22 Ultra is so good. But nothing touches the Fold in my opinion. It's such a unique and versatile device.
@@jonvaliagas do you think fold 4 is a decent travel phone? I dont want to get sand in it but I plan to go to egypt next year. Wait for s23 ultra or will fold 4 be fine?
I just sold my 14 Pro Max last week and bought the fold 4 instead. It arrived yesterday and I am sooooo in love! I always had apple, never thought I'd use an android phone.. but now I would never go back to a smaller phone! It is perfect for gaming and I play video games 90% of the time :D
Benefit is you also get a small phone when using the cover-display, which is really nice because it's not convenient to always carry around a large phone, like the 14 Pro Max especially if you want to use it one handed! Congrats on the Fold you're going to love it even more as time goes on, trust me! :)
@@jonvaliagas how were u able to switch back to fold 4? Was it hard doing that with esim in 14 pro max? Did u just call your carrier and have them switch IMEI numbers?
Im in the same position. An exclusive iPhone user but this seems really insane lol. I want this but a little concerned about how it feels as a phone. Because when closed it feels like holding two phones stacked together. I take my phone to the gym and all that. Would this be comfortable in your pocket in those situations you think ?
@@xShinobiXx use the return period to try it, when folded it's just a little bit thicker than my 13 Pro Max but it feels compact because its a little bit shorter
I am one of those people that would never thought "jumpship" to the fold 4 so similar to you i bought one thinking I would hate myself for spending that money but just like you i have never looked back. i love my fold 4!
1:56 8, actually. Once had meet, Gmail, docs, chrome, clash of clans, calculator, messages, and keep notes open at the same time during a class project. Docs, chrome, and notes were the main 3 and the rest were open and running in multi window
That's nuts, ahha. I think 3-4 def is the sweetspot though when it comes to usability, I cannot see very many people making use of having more than 4 running at the same time, but that's incredible!
@@jonvaliagas I definitely agree. It's certainly overkill and most people wouldn't ever use it and 3-4 is the sweet spot. I typically use 6 when studying with friends. Twitter(for leisure), docs (for notes), TH-cam(to look up random videos about whatever we need more info on), chrome(school website) , messages, and meet
The idea 💡 of getting the Z Fold 4 into my hands 👐 is going to be a tech adventure that will have printed words fall off the page for me as I describe the awesomeness in a few days coming from the S22 Ultra.
I'm having it for 2 weeks now and couldn't sleep for 2 days because of how much I love using this phone 😍 it's fun 🙃I really believe you when you said this phone is not for everyone
When it comes to a power user me like me,typing what I'm typing now on the main screen is like breeze, on the other hand typing on the coverscreen is not so good,but when it comes to everyday usage like surfing net,insta ,TH-cam its next level,the phone stands out when u r capturing others with the cover screen being a prompter ppl will love it
I hear good things about the fold 4 but however Jan 2023 I just upgraded my s20 ultra to the fold 3 and immediately fell in love with it's capabilities and even though the outer screen is slim with a stylus it's flawless and operable with very few cramping typing mistakes. And the cameras are good not the best but for sure usuble.
I really want one, and I'm so close to ordering it but I honestly just can't get past the wrinkle in the middle of the large display, I know it's minimal but it's driving me crazy.
Excellent video, man, I liked and subbed. Eagerly waiting for my Fold 4 to arrive in the mail this week! My Fold 2's screen died a few days ago. Glad to hear that so many technophiles are loving the newest Z Fold.
I've had many many phones, hundreds and have always switched OS's but always back to apple. I have a 13PM and my partner surprised me with a fold 4 a couple months ago. I still have my iphone and do miss some things about it but i don't think i could ditch the fold for it. Been hell of an adjustment though.
Honestly, there are a couple of flaws in Note 4, but man do I love this phone. I don't think I can ever go back to the normal phone anymore. I love unfolding the fold to view my emails and watch movies or games. The sound the picture quality and everything is amazing. Sometimes the crease in the middle is a little bit annoying but that's very minor flaw compared to the great benefits I get. I absolutely love The 4 fold.
I bought the Fold 4 for work last year when I didn't want to be tethered to my laptop for emails and meetings in Teams or Webex. Now that the job is over, looking forward to playing around with it. Still prefer iOS to android as my daily driver, but I love this thing
I love my Z Fold 4 so far. After being with iPhone for ages, it is gonna take a while to get used to android again. I am currently customising it and really wanna know where that date widget on your home screen came from as I really like it! Love the honest review btw
I've been using a Mate 20x since 2019 and never considered any other device. It has no equal. Carrier axed it, saying it was not 4g, which is bull$hit. Bought a Note 20 ultra 5g and its a big let down. I have big hands and want a device I can type on with ease. The Note ain't it. These skinny phones suck. Anyhow considering this device Z Fold 4. Thanks for the video, really helps me see it in action. Love that big screen. The Mate 20X is 7.2 inches and is a fantastic device, as I said it has no equal. Thanks for the video, nice work. 👍👍
I'd really like to have a phone like that one, but here in Argentina, its so so so expensive. It's so imposible to buy and if you do it you have to ear rice for at least 7 months. Also one thing that make me double check if I get it is how long will it last, in my case I use my phones for about 3-4 years before switching to a new one. It doesn't look made to last. Sorry for my bad English, I speak Spanish. Nice video ♥ I suscribe.
Thank you for sharing the review. I am thinking about buying a foldable but with Pixel Fold coming out and Z Fold 5 early-release in July, I am holding out. It would be great if you could review the Pixel Fold once it comes out & compare it with Z Fold 4.
I had the note 20 ultra 5g, swapped to the fold4 and went back to my note 20 within 2 weeks. Inner display watching videos is smaller with black bars over the top/bottom and when I held my note 20 over the top, was about the same size video displayed unless crop/zoom on fold4. Don't get me wrong, it's an impressive bit of kit, but needs to have wider cover display and s pen built in as the cases I also tried on the fold 4 were ugly and made the device way too bulky. Maybe note 20 is just too good. Only my personal thoughts coming from 4 iPhone to 3 x Samsung devices (s8+, s10+, note 20 ultra)
I have the same phone for almsot 2 months only negative for me is battery but I carry a powerbank with me so no problems! I love it and totally agree with you
Very good video!!! Lol I actually forgot I had a camera in the inside of this phone until I watched your vid lol. You really do forget and don't notice it there with the way they have hid it under the screen...
seriously considering breaking my Apple ecosystem for the Galaxy Fold 4 (256gb) v iphone 14 Pro Max (128gb). hands on experience at Best Buy with Galaxy Fold 4 really made a difference for me. /bklyn 👑
Don't do it. Mine is having issues with the folding screen. Bumps and white lines going down the center. Samsungs customer service is crap compared to apple and I was an iphone user since the 3GS. They won't fix my phone until the screen actually breaks. So now I get to look at white lines and bumps all day long on my z fold 4.
@@robertmotion lol enjoy the shitty customer service and the issues that come with this phone. Like I said my screen is having issues and they won't fix it.
Nice video man. Im a longtime apple user, deep in the ecosystem, if i were to get a android it would be this. On another note what is that screensaver (if its a screensaver) in you background, it is so cool
I've used apple products for yearsssss! I came from the 11 pro max was going to get the 14 pro max. Decided to do research on other phones because the Samsungs customization abilities really stuck out to me. So it was between pro max, 22 ultra, and fold 4. Since the 23 ultra was coming soon and I didn't want to wait I decided on the fold 4. So far I'm loving it. Still trying to get use to everything but so far I love it. Having trouble getting everything from my iphone onto the fold (mostly my notes) but as long as it stays uploaded to my cloud I'm good. If anyone is on the fence about it... I'd say just try it out
@@xojaclynlovee You can download your photos and your files to your Samsung phone. You can also upload files from your Samsung phone to iCloud. You can do other things like view and create notes and check your iCloud email.
I get about 9 hours of screen on time by lowering the refresh rate, turning on power saving mode, using dark mode and setting my performance profile to lite.
I tested this phone against the iPhone 14 max today and thought the screen of the fold was a bit less than the iPhone. But when I got home and turned off adaptive brightness I was pleasantly suprised
I posted a tweet just now on Twitter @valismind with the Wallpaper I use (this included) @valismind if you want to grab it! :) and Widget is KQGT Widget
The gap is there just incase you get grit etc on the screen and you close it. Since there is a gap there's very little chance of scratching the inner screen.
I work at UPS very dusty wet, and I have to say my concerns with the inner display have faded. I've had it since launch, there are some minor hairline scratches but honestly less than I was expecting. I've had gorilla glass on a new phone scratch up quicker.
Thanks for sharing. Great to know. Just ordered one and the durability is my biggest concern. UPS is tough work and so with your input I am a bit more confident. Thanks.
I upgraded my Fold 4 to Android 13 having barely used it with the original OS. I'm wondering if any of the software compatibility issues some people were talking about were addressed in 13?
The Fold is a mind-blowing phone in all honesty, they've really done something. This form factor gets hated on by a lot of people because the cover display isn't wider, but I praise it because having it in the hand makes sense. A tall, but skinny screen is easy to navigate when the phone is thicker. I would like to see what Google is doing, but unfortunately, the Pixel Fold is not coming to Canada so my opinion on the cover display wont change until I've had hands on with a competitor.
Totally loving my fold 4! May I know where you got your wallpaper with the foggy forest background? I've been combing hdqwalls and haven't found anything similar
I currently using S21 plus.. and thinking of upgrade to Fold 4... i'm the kind OCD when cleaning my phone screen.. i like it Crystal clear... do u think is a good thing to upgrade?
God there is so much insanely cool tech that's just a few generations away from perfection. I want this device, as a heavily pen-addicted Tab s8 and Note user, but the inner screen's durability would give me anxiety. If this turns into something I can chuck into my pocket or drop while nodding off, it's over for everything else and I'll never look back. See you in a few years, Folds.
I got the fold 4 and I do like it in the same way however, it is really hard when I have been with Apple for God knows how long, but is there a way to improve the messages? Because I find it very difficult to receive. Just in case I kept my 13 promax for such things I keep going back-and-forth.
There are SO MANY texting apps for Android! It truly boggles the mind. I tried at least a half dozen or more over the years and stuck with Textra. Just download and try several apps. Trust me, you'll eventually find one that you'll love and forget about IOS.
I have this phone and I love it but damn they really couldn't get smaller bezels in the front screen? Think about the other foldables and how well. They make the front screen
I bought fold 3 a year ago and now my father uses it because I switched to filp 4. Both of them are in perfect condition still. I only switched the screen protectors once so far. Definitely going to pickup fold 5 when it comes out because flip is less fun
Great video man! I'm the exception when it comes to screen usage, I don't use the front display 😅 I do love that they made it wider and it is much more usable but my eyes are so bad and I don't always have my glasses so I always use internal display. I would use a 12.9" iPad as a phone if I could 😂 I'm glad your experience has changed from the F3 to the F4.
I'm able to upgrade my phone but I'm debating on Z Fold 4 or Galaxy s23 Ultra. It's pretty difficult choice because I've never use or even hold any Fold phones but I'm so curious. I'm upgrading from a Z Flip 3 btw.
I don't get how you hated the 3 and love the 4 and they literally the same ... I didn't even upgrade to the 4 after spending like 30 minutes with it at the att store....
I've had this phone for a while now, and I agree with everyone who says that it's seriously the best phone. I use it unfolded most of the time. Texting is soo much easier, watching tik toks is amazing. Multitasking is amazing, I never used this option in my old phones because 2 little squares didn't make sense to me. This phone just makes my daily life soo much easier. I've noticed that I don't use my computer as much as before, because you can literally use this as a computer.
The main reason I purchased this phone was for texting since I do that more than anything. I'm a clumsy texter and hated texting on a standard phone with tiny keyboard.

Nice seeing you here :) and yeah, I agree. Super good phone.
I am one of those people that would never thought "jumpship" to the fold 4 so similar to you i bought one thinking I would hate myself for spending that money but just like you i have never looked back. i love my fold 4!
It's been hands down the most fun device I've ever played with, I really really enjoy it even after all this time it really feels new, and timeless
1:56 8, actually. Once had meet, Gmail, docs, chrome, clash of clans, calculator, messages, and keep notes open at the same time during a class project. Docs, chrome, and notes were the main 3 and the rest were open and running in multi window
That's nuts, ahha. I think 3-4 def is the sweetspot though when it comes to usability, I cannot see very many people making use of having more than 4 running at the same time, but that's incredible!
@@jonvaliagas I definitely agree. It's certainly overkill and most people wouldn't ever use it and 3-4 is the sweet spot. I typically use 6 when studying with friends. Twitter(for leisure), docs (for notes), TH-cam(to look up random videos about whatever we need more info on), chrome(school website) , messages, and meet
The idea 💡 of getting the Z Fold 4 into my hands 👐 is going to be a tech adventure that will have printed words fall off the page for me as I describe the awesomeness in a few days coming from the S22 Ultra.
I have the 3 and am getting the 4 soon, I can't wait
I'm having it for 2 weeks now and couldn't sleep for 2 days because of how much I love using this phone 😍 it's fun 🙃I really believe you when you said this phone is not for everyone
Love the vid! What wallpaper is this, and the text in the middle? Thanks!
When it comes to a power user me like me,typing what I'm typing now on the main screen is like breeze, on the other hand typing on the coverscreen is not so good,but when it comes to everyday usage like surfing net,insta ,TH-cam its next level,the phone stands out when u r capturing others with the cover screen being a prompter ppl will love it
I hear good things about the fold 4 but however Jan 2023 I just upgraded my s20 ultra to the fold 3 and immediately fell in love with it's capabilities and even though the outer screen is slim with a stylus it's flawless and operable with very few cramping typing mistakes. And the cameras are good not the best but for sure usuble.
I really want one, and I'm so close to ordering it but I honestly just can't get past the wrinkle in the middle of the large display, I know it's minimal but it's driving me crazy.
My upgrade is due shortly and I've been debating between the iPhone 14 Pro Max & Fold 4. This type of review helps massively so thank you.
I actually just made a video comparing the Fold 4 with the iPhone 14 Pro Max if you're interested! :)
Keep ur iphone 14 pro max just like me and add z fold 4. Thanks me later. Also best buy had a sale on z fold 4 for 700 dollars off
Excellent video, man, I liked and subbed.
Eagerly waiting for my Fold 4 to arrive in the mail this week! My Fold 2's screen died a few days ago. Glad to hear that so many technophiles are loving the newest Z Fold.
I've had many many phones, hundreds and have always switched OS's but always back to apple. I have a 13PM and my partner surprised me with a fold 4 a couple months ago. I still have my iphone and do miss some things about it but i don't think i could ditch the fold for it. Been hell of an adjustment though.
I just bought the fold 4 on 12/20 at best buy 700 bucks off came out to 1,200 after tax no trade in. amazing device
Bro how do you get your date and time to display like that that is dope?
Honestly, there are a couple of flaws in Note 4, but man do I love this phone. I don't think I can ever go back to the normal phone anymore. I love unfolding the fold to view my emails and watch movies or games. The sound the picture quality and everything is amazing. Sometimes the crease in the middle is a little bit annoying but that's very minor flaw compared to the great benefits I get. I absolutely love The 4 fold.
Fold it like a ds but then fold it back more to see the whole screen at once
At 0:11 how does he customize that "Wednesday" and "sixteen 47" in his home screen?
What font is that? And where is the wallpaper from?
And is that a certain widget for the date? I can't find it anywhere.
I bought the Fold 4 for work last year when I didn't want to be tethered to my laptop for emails and meetings in Teams or Webex. Now that the job is over, looking forward to playing around with it. Still prefer iOS to android as my daily driver, but I love this thing
I love my Z Fold 4 so far. After being with iPhone for ages, it is gonna take a while to get used to android again. I am currently customising it and really wanna know where that date widget on your home screen came from as I really like it! Love the honest review btw
Hi there! where can I find your wallpaper? I’ve seen it on your iPhone as well!!
I've been using a Mate 20x since 2019 and never considered any other device. It has no equal. Carrier axed it, saying it was not 4g, which is bull$hit. Bought a Note 20 ultra 5g and its a big let down. I have big hands and want a device I can type on with ease. The Note ain't it. These skinny phones suck. Anyhow considering this device Z Fold 4. Thanks for the video, really helps me see it in action. Love that big screen. The Mate 20X is 7.2 inches and is a fantastic device, as I said it has no equal.
Thanks for the video, nice work. 👍👍
You can go to settings then apps to change the aspect ratio for apps
Love your Wallpaper ❤️ How did you set the datum as text? Is it a widget? So cool!
I'd really like to have a phone like that one, but here in Argentina, its so so so expensive. It's so imposible to buy and if you do it you have to ear rice for at least 7 months.
Also one thing that make me double check if I get it is how long will it last, in my case I use my phones for about 3-4 years before switching to a new one. It doesn't look made to last.
Sorry for my bad English, I speak Spanish.
Nice video ♥
I suscribe.
Thank you for sharing the review.
I am thinking about buying a foldable but with Pixel Fold coming out and Z Fold 5 early-release in July, I am holding out.
It would be great if you could review the Pixel Fold once it comes out & compare it with Z Fold 4.
Exactly the same as the Zfold3, just with a better camera. ZFold3 is a beast too, just have to set it up right at the beginning
I had the note 20 ultra 5g, swapped to the fold4 and went back to my note 20 within 2 weeks. Inner display watching videos is smaller with black bars over the top/bottom and when I held my note 20 over the top, was about the same size video displayed unless crop/zoom on fold4. Don't get me wrong, it's an impressive bit of kit, but needs to have wider cover display and s pen built in as the cases I also tried on the fold 4 were ugly and made the device way too bulky. Maybe note 20 is just too good. Only my personal thoughts coming from 4 iPhone to 3 x Samsung devices (s8+, s10+, note 20 ultra)
I have the same phone for almsot 2 months only negative for me is battery but I carry a powerbank with me so no problems! I love it and totally agree with you
What widget u use on that fold?
how did you get the date and day like that on your home screen?
It's a widget called KWGT :)
Very good video!!! Lol I actually forgot I had a camera in the inside of this phone until I watched your vid lol. You really do forget and don't notice it there with the way they have hid it under the screen...
7 months is a long time to wait for the Fold 5. I want one so bad but I want to wait to see what Samsung does.
Have you noticed any overheating issues?
did your fold 4 also get laggy with one ui 5? App take 1-2 seconds sometimes to open
This video is the reason i switched from Iphone 11 pro to the Fold 4 and loving it. Thanks Valis.
These crack by itself even if you look after it. Now they’re heavily reduced price.
seriously considering breaking my Apple ecosystem for the Galaxy Fold 4 (256gb) v iphone 14 Pro Max (128gb).
hands on experience at Best Buy with Galaxy Fold 4 really made a difference for me.
/bklyn 👑
Got it yesterday,mind blowing .........had iphone 14pro max before...
It is SOLID and much much more worth it
Don't do it. Mine is having issues with the folding screen. Bumps and white lines going down the center. Samsungs customer service is crap compared to apple and I was an iphone user since the 3GS. They won't fix my phone until the screen actually breaks. So now I get to look at white lines and bumps all day long on my z fold 4.
@@DryCreekShooter nope. picking it up next week. sold.
/bklyn 👑
@@robertmotion lol enjoy the shitty customer service and the issues that come with this phone. Like I said my screen is having issues and they won't fix it.
This phone is beautiful but I feel bad leaving my Note 10 when it still works perfect....stressful lol
Nice video man. Im a longtime apple user, deep in the ecosystem, if i were to get a android it would be this. On another note what is that screensaver (if its a screensaver) in you background, it is so cool
I posted a tweet just now on Twitter @valismind with the Wallpaper I use (this included) @valismind if you want to grab it! :) And thanks!
@@jonvaliagas cool I’m gonna check you out on there
I spend close to 100% of my time on the inside display playing Diablo Immortal and browsing. Loving the device!
I love Diablo Immortal hahah
I've used apple products for yearsssss! I came from the 11 pro max was going to get the 14 pro max. Decided to do research on other phones because the Samsungs customization abilities really stuck out to me. So it was between pro max, 22 ultra, and fold 4. Since the 23 ultra was coming soon and I didn't want to wait I decided on the fold 4. So far I'm loving it. Still trying to get use to everything but so far I love it. Having trouble getting everything from my iphone onto the fold (mostly my notes) but as long as it stays uploaded to my cloud I'm good. If anyone is on the fence about it... I'd say just try it out
You can access your iCloud account from the web and have full access to your notes, files, photos, etc (not messages though).
@@MrMartis913 can they be downloaded to the samsung?
@@MrMartis913 thank you BTW
@@xojaclynlovee You can download your photos and your files to your Samsung phone. You can also upload files from your Samsung phone to iCloud. You can do other things like view and create notes and check your iCloud email.
@@xojaclynlovee No problem.
whats your wallpaper?
went from an iphone 12 pro max to this and wont go back till they have a fold phone!
That wallpaper is dope, how’d you get it?
I haven't liked a phone this much since the Blackberry Key2 lol, it's beautiful. Great for business.
what's the case for your pro max?
Thanks bro I’m sold I’m getting this phone for myself as a Christmas 🎄 gift
I want one but im scared of damaging the screen as well as the bubbling issue
Thanks for the review, i am excited to grab one because of your review. Looking forward upcoming video of Fold 4
I get about 9 hours of screen on time by lowering the refresh rate, turning on power saving mode, using dark mode and setting my performance profile to lite.
Thanks for the tip, will try that.
I tested this phone against the iPhone 14 max today and thought the screen of the fold was a bit less than the iPhone. But when I got home and turned off adaptive brightness I was pleasantly suprised
Where to get your widget and wallpaper?
I posted a tweet just now on Twitter @valismind with the Wallpaper I use (this included) @valismind if you want to grab it! :) and Widget is KQGT Widget
The gap is there just incase you get grit etc on the screen and you close it. Since there is a gap there's very little chance of scratching the inner screen.
I couldn’t afford that hefty price tag so I waited and bought the fold 3 renewed on amazon $550. Man I love this phone❤
I work at UPS very dusty wet, and I have to say my concerns with the inner display have faded. I've had it since launch, there are some minor hairline scratches but honestly less than I was expecting. I've had gorilla glass on a new phone scratch up quicker.
Thanks for sharing. Great to know. Just ordered one and the durability is my biggest concern. UPS is tough work and so with your input I am a bit more confident. Thanks.
I upgraded my Fold 4 to Android 13 having barely used it with the original OS. I'm wondering if any of the software compatibility issues some people were talking about were addressed in 13?
I'm ready to leave the S series and jump on board the Fold series, can't wait for the Z5
The Fold is a mind-blowing phone in all honesty, they've really done something. This form factor gets hated on by a lot of people because the cover display isn't wider, but I praise it because having it in the hand makes sense. A tall, but skinny screen is easy to navigate when the phone is thicker. I would like to see what Google is doing, but unfortunately, the Pixel Fold is not coming to Canada so my opinion on the cover display wont change until I've had hands on with a competitor.
Im really confused and having a second doubt buying fold 4. Bcz of some issue on the screen i watch in youtube. You think i will biy this phone or no?
Yknow the whole time watching i just kept asking myself how I too can get that calendar/clock. It looks so good lol
Totally loving my fold 4! May I know where you got your wallpaper with the foggy forest background? I've been combing hdqwalls and haven't found anything similar
Haha, I literally just googled 4K foggy forrest LOL
How can i get the wallpaper please 🙏?
I currently using S21 plus.. and thinking of upgrade to Fold 4... i'm the kind OCD when cleaning my phone screen.. i like it Crystal clear... do u think is a good thing to upgrade?
The 3 biggest drawbacks for me were the cameras, that crease. And that inner screen collects oils from your fingers like crazy.
God there is so much insanely cool tech that's just a few generations away from perfection.
I want this device, as a heavily pen-addicted Tab s8 and Note user, but the inner screen's durability would give me anxiety. If this turns into something I can chuck into my pocket or drop while nodding off, it's over for everything else and I'll never look back. See you in a few years, Folds.
I got the fold 4 and I do like it in the same way however, it is really hard when I have been with Apple for God knows how long, but is there a way to improve the messages? Because I find it very difficult to receive. Just in case I kept my 13 promax for such things I keep going back-and-forth.
Just use Google messages for regular texts, for my friends and family i use WhatsApp and Signal
There are SO MANY texting apps for Android! It truly boggles the mind. I tried at least a half dozen or more over the years and stuck with Textra. Just download and try several apps. Trust me, you'll eventually find one that you'll love and forget about IOS.
I have this phone and I love it but damn they really couldn't get smaller bezels in the front screen? Think about the other foldables and how well. They make the front screen
I bought fold 3 a year ago and now my father uses it because I switched to filp 4. Both of them are in perfect condition still. I only switched the screen protectors once so far. Definitely going to pickup fold 5 when it comes out because flip is less fun
I like your widget and wallpaper. Where can I get it?
Widget is KWGT on play store, and I post my wallpapers on twitter @valismind :)
I really like the wallapaper ^^ how Can i find it ? And i think this phone is king for people who likes watching contents on their devices
Still got it ? Should I buy a used one ?
what was that app shown that allows you to sign a pdf?
I am not sure it was my buddy's clip, it must just be some sort of PDF or note app.
Great video man! I'm the exception when it comes to screen usage, I don't use the front display 😅 I do love that they made it wider and it is much more usable but my eyes are so bad and I don't always have my glasses so I always use internal display. I would use a 12.9" iPad as a phone if I could 😂 I'm glad your experience has changed from the F3 to the F4.
Hahaha, thanks for the support, and yeah it was night and day. The F4 has been such a game changer for me.
I'm able to upgrade my phone but I'm debating on Z Fold 4 or Galaxy s23 Ultra. It's pretty difficult choice because I've never use or even hold any Fold phones but I'm so curious. I'm upgrading from a Z Flip 3 btw.
Hey how can I get that wallpaper thats on your phone?
I don't get how you hated the 3 and love the 4 and they literally the same ... I didn't even upgrade to the 4 after spending like 30 minutes with it at the att store....
I have a fold 4, and I love it.
I've had this phone for a while now, and I agree with everyone who says that it's seriously the best phone.
I use it unfolded most of the time. Texting is soo much easier, watching tik toks is amazing. Multitasking is amazing, I never used this option in my old phones because 2 little squares didn't make sense to me. This phone just makes my daily life soo much easier. I've noticed that I don't use my computer as much as before, because you can literally use this as a computer.
The main reason I purchased this phone was for texting since I do that more than anything. I'm a clumsy texter and hated texting on a standard phone with tiny keyboard.
@@jamesaron1967 Yes, exactly
It's soo much easier
