Maybe, you shouldn't have said it but I was definitely thinking it, too. Plus, I think it turned out well. Having light on one side and semi darkness on the other agreed with my eyes. Still, it's only my opinion, I'm not a film school student.
@@Eeveewashere I’m not saying it’s a bad thing. I was just pointing out the contrast. Maybe the lighting would be better for his channel growth, these are things creators have to think about.
@@shanecraigtech I’ve been watching you since day one. I don’t care about the color or light. I just wanted to point out the difference in color and lighting between your side and hers was striking. Great video nonetheless!
Great video! A great Tag Team podcast style...Jessi and Shane ...Rock! Such solid points ...we need more of these! The nails Test 💅 is so important....
Reminds me of when the Travis MCP channel was doing the whole, give an iPhone to an android fan and vice versa with people documenting their experiences over the course of a week or 2 then making a decision if they switched or kept their current device. I’d definitely be interested in a series like that if you were to make your own version of it.
This video is like tailor made for me, I've been using the Z Fold 4 for years and once a week I put the Z Fold 6 in the shopping cart and chicken out right before ordering. My Fold 4 works perfectly fine but I'm so close to giving up and just upgrading
@@macgyverade after seeing Samsung commit to change in upcoming models, as well as the special edition having a larger display I'm going to wait for the Fold 7 in hopes of actual upgrades and a screen more like the Google foldable
@@ZergIsUnderpowered my only worry is s pen support. I can't go back to a regular slab anymore lol. I may upgrade if it's promising... What a tike to be alive
Totally understand the comment about the nails, Jessi. I wore them for years and had to use a stylus to type - I worried so hard about wrecking the folding screens :) Great video, and yes, that light/dark set up - just love it.
So true, I've tried long nails a few times but they do tend to get in the way, especially since I'm a hands on girl and do things like woodworking so long nails just aren't conducive to that 😅
Shane & Jessi, you two are so darn awesome & cute!!!! 🥰 Please do more content like this. I downloaded it so i can always have this. Thank you 🙏🏻 both...
You are very genuine, how refreshing... Regardless if I agree or disagree, I am with you mentally. Thanks, honestly, difficult not to be moved and be your fan😊
This was a fun watch, hearing a non tech person's view on foldables is pretty entertaining tbh. Would love to hear her thoughts on both Pixel Folds back to back since she's a Pixel fan!
Microsoft did the same thing with the speakers on the Surface Duo 2 too. (Not to be mistaken for a Surface Tutu.) Google doing the same was greatly appreciated.
Great idea for a review. I'm a techie and I love my z Fold 4. In day-to-day usage it (the 4) works as well as the phone (the 6) that now costs 5x as much, that is where the rubber meets the road for me. Regarding Jessi and picture taking, have you set up the double-press on the side button to launch the camera?
You just created a new series and ain't even know it. I'm invested in this content because I can't do it. I came close to my first vid being about my lady using my pink fold 6 as an iPhone user and came dangerously close...then her iPhone 14 pro max crapped out I got her the 16 pro max and in less than an hour, she shot me a look that said "not gonna happen. Sorry babe."
2:40 just randomly while I'm thinking about it, have you heard of the SURITCH Z Fold6 case that has a discrete kickstand and s-pen slot? It made me - the biggest case hater of all time - appreciate a case. And it's the only one to do so in my entire time using ZF3-6.
10:00 the speaker orientation makes sense as you'll likely be holding it in landscape when gaming or watching video. You also won't cover a speaker when holding it in landscape. 19:55 the durability of the Z Fold has come a long way. It's interesting how much that perception of fragility impacts the desire to own one. I beat the crap out of my Fold 4 and Fold 5 without a case and have had no issues. My 4 survived a literal fall down a mountain into a lake, and my 5 routinely lives in my pocket while I go downhill mountain biking.
Doesn't it make more sense to always have stereo sound? For what it's worth, I've owned like 5 phones that do something like what the Pixel is doing and I've never had issues with covering a speaker.
I returned the Fold 6 and kept the fold 5. The little bit in the front screen width wasn't enough to overcome the pointy uncomfortable hold in hand. Fold 5 was perfect. I need to try a Oneplus Open or Honor.
For the most part no real surprises, but better to be thorough imo. The few things I was surprised by were - finding fold 4 easier to open (mine absolutely was _not_ that) - not liking the camera (I never have any issues with mine so I'm surprised a non-enthusiast would have a problem) Definitely agree with the conclusion that, as a regular person, folds aren't worth buying. The coolness factor carries it a lot more than the practicality does. I mean I use my Tab S8 Ultra more than I use my Fold 6 (5h SOT vs 3 yesterday), let alone the fact that probably ~20-40% of that time it's closed. Fact is, if I need a tablet for a task, a full-size one will do the job better, and *most of the time* I'm in the same place as my full-size tablet. I need it for school, I need it for work, and of course it's with me at home. Honestly I might not even buy a fold next time I decide to upgrade, because I just don't choose to use it over my Tab when my Tab is available.
I'm sure that there are people who carry folding phones because they think it's cool, but for me it's absolutely the practicality. While a larger tablet might be more useful, you can't fold that up and put it in your pocket lol. The utility of a double-sized screen in your pocket is one of those things that depends on the person. Some people will find it invaluable, some won't see much benefit at all. For most, it's probably not worth it.
@@shanecraigtechYeah, use case definitely differs from person to person. Two phone screens is definitely _enough_ to do anything you want a tablet for, albeit cramped, and if you're doing something that you can't feasibly carry a bag for, a pocket's all you have.
This absolutely makes sense the way you describe it. In your shoes I'd feel the same way, but this phone is the only tablet I own lol. I have a pretty powerful desktop with a huge monitor, 2 smaller monitors, and speaker setup I use if I REALLY wanna get into some media. Ive got my laptop if I'm traveling and wanna game but if I wanna just chill in bed and watch youtube that's where the phone comes in. I also like being able to multitask activities i do on my phone anyway. Plus im a nurse, work in hospitals. I get a lot less negative attention with a big phone in my hand or propped up on the desk than I get with my laptop amd controller 😂
@@shanecraigtechI enjoy foldables for the same reason. For me it's about device reduction. I know a tablet would be better to use as a tablet, but when I had a tablet years ago, I never took it around/used it, really. Whereas, with my foldable, it's in my pocket and always with me. I'd rather have one or two devices that do everything vs several devices for specific use cases. I do the majority of everything on my foldable and use my PC for everything else/gaming. It just works better for me vs having several different things. If I have to grab something else to do something specific, then I'll never use it.
@@cloudy_gomoSame setup for me, minus the laptop lol. Foldable used for most things and then got my beefy desktop for what the phone can't do. Works out so great for me. Very much depends on the person, I suppose.
Its a very interesting vid. Some really good points that make you really think especially the part where she said the fold 6 is too thin considering we live in a world where most of people's wants revolve around the thinner and lighter device nowadays?
I used the pitaka case on my zfold 6 too and at first it was easy to open but after a while it is painful to open. I have to dig my fingernail in between the two folds to open it. I did buy the Thinborne and will put that on since I see how good it is doing on my Pixel fold 9 and makes it easier to have the case on ALL foldables in my experience... Any other case imo makes it too big. I find myself using the zfold 6 since it seems smaller to carry around ...
@@shanecraigtech it was worth a try to get a final ride for, to me, the best folding device (due to the superb multitasking) and it was great for reading books too. Microsoft, sadly, dropped the ball. Thank you for replying, Shane. Keep up the great work.
@ACatCalledSnow I agree Microsoft seriously messed up they could have taken over in the folding area if they just advertised the phone. Everytime I use my surface duo (which I still use as a tablet ) people want to know what it is and who makes it.
21:53 thats a discussion that gets missed over way too much. "Tech enthusiasts" as they call themselves assuming the battery is trash based off mAh or some imbalanced battery comp video. But then you get to the people actually using the phone and they have great things to say about it. My "crappy little 4400mAh" is giving me no complaints.
I really enjoy the collaboration between you two. I didn't really think that Jessi was satisfied with the fold 6. I think that Jessi should go to the pixel fold 9 with a case since she really is preferably a pixel fan. She would really be satisfied with something even similar to that. Tell her not to feel bad about her dropping her phone. I have dropped my fold 6 on several occasions, lol. I would look forward to a review of a pixel fold phone review.
With both speakers on the left side of the fold 6 if you rotate it to landscape, holding the phone in two hands the speakers fire off both your hands and produce a fuller sound.
had a very super similar opinion as I, except mine is fold 6 vs 3..... i daily drive my 3 for basically same reasons, fear of 6 breaking and harder to open and less case options (no official aramid).. and one other reason which i feel was kind of mentioned and not touched on, the grip may have been better for her as the dimensions are different, 6 is chunky/squared off, vs 4 thinner rounder (and even thinner on 3) Think Samsung is going to end up going with the flow and addressing competition my making a bigger fold cover screen, in order to lure more customers........ but they may alienate those that like the thin 1 handed use (as highlighter by smaller hand female pov)
Another woman checking in love your videos and watched everything about the surface duo you made.I had been still using my surface duo until I finally broke down and bought a fold 4 . I wonder should I have gone with the pixel fold since I love and still miss my surface duo and the pixel fold is closer to the same screen size. Not loving this fold 4.
This should have gone the usability aspect. Normal users vs tech or niche users. Normal users far outnumbers the other users. Tech speech, bezels, benchmarks mean little to them. Cost, reliability and sturdiness are the most important. Sometimes we need to can down and regroup. 🤣
I am watching this video on my Z fold4 that quit opening 100% because of the hinge and then recently even with me not taking off to protector screen it stopped working now I just have the one front skinny screen will never buy another fold phone until Samsung addresses the bad hinge design Buying S25 Ultra in January
Just watched the whike video. Gokd points. I own an S24 Ultra anf Pixel 9 Pro Fold. Dont like ghe camera on the S24 Ultra much, it blurs too many photos of my daughter. It's just not reliable. The Pixel though just works every time. Specs dont matter if your shots are blurry half the time of anything that moves.
Her perspectives are in the 50% of phone users... like many people are buying because or just to have the new... but tech comprehension wise, most can do with a basic phone, this why most female have an iPhone; hardware never really sell the woman, it's the software, features and simplest OS to use, and ease of use, in a candy color variety pack personable shell. ZFold6 is more of a hardware tech junkies phone. It just beautiful this time! I have a ZFold6,coming from ZFOLD3, and I can comfortably palm a basketball with either hand... and yet ZFold6 feels great and tightly compacted good in my hands... I have the thinborn style case... I like using the magsafe accessories, and my thin case will bulge outwork if I put a magsafe ring on phine itself? Otherwise, I'd rock ZFold6 naked, just need to be able to mount phone once enter my car and car accessories are magsafed My case makes my phone a hair ever, slightly bigger. I prefer the smallest formfactor phone with the biggest screen to body ratio. My side phone is the note 10 6.3. So I think the design, sizes, and build of ZFold6 is next to perfect "for me." Plus, the Foldables markets are kinda aimed towards the power users clubs and minded people. Yet many buy due to the main screens and are really not power users, but streaming/social app users who want the best cameras. Im a careful person and value my cheapest to expensive purchases the same... plus, I move with a consistent pace , not to be hasten too much that i get carelessness with time and things. Loved her honesty, but she it completely opposite of her husband tech wise... She is just simple, and that is a beautiful quality to have in a woman... long as it does the job, she could care less. Just show me how it works. Let me go, Jesse. 😆
Come on you guys, the Display on the Z Fold 4 is really no different than the Z Fold 6. Jessi you are doing Great👍 you are a natural. And by the wayJessi with the OnePlus open or the Google pixel 9 Pro fold, even the OG Pixel Fold, you can grow your fingernails as long as you want👍 Basically, You'll still be able to enjoy that Cover Display.
18:16 my wife frequently talks about me to her family like I'm an alien because she's seen me drop a phone a whole two times in the twelve years we've been together.... and she drops hers on concrete every day on the way from our car to the house (and like three more drops throughout the day 😂)
Why don't you lend your wife the OnePlus open? I think she'd enjoy that the best. I have the OnePlus open and it's fantastic😊 thanks for your videos take care and be well❤
too thin she said ? omg how come ?? the fold 6 is the thickest phone ever in the market .. i heard a lot of people complaining about how thick it is and it has a size of 2 mobiles combined together ,, and now she said thin !! 🤣🤣😂 .. ohh by the way , you are hearing the sound coming only from the left side because you are holding the phone in wrong rotation , just rotate the phone until the speaker becomes 1 in the left & 1 in the right , Samsung didn't design this phone to be held in a randomly rotation
You now need to have your wife use the OnePlus open , so she could see what other brands are offering . I am one of your 2 female watchers lol , I just bought the Honor magic v2 as It's had a very big price drop in the UK since the v3 has been released , just to give an idea of my previous favourite phone it was the Huawei Mate 20x it had a 7.2 inch screen lol . I have been wanting a folding phone for years, but I thought they were too expensive and too flimsy , with the price of the Honor v2 under a £1000 for the phone, I was willing to take a chance , and the phones are now not in the prototype release phase.
We both have our own PC that we game on with friends. Mine is in my studio for obvious reasons and hers is in a room that's basically hers to do with what she wants. It's simplest to do it this way and we both get our own mic and no worry about fitting both of us on camera, etc.
I get what she's saying. I love the form factor of foldables and that overrides the negatives for me, but you are very cognitive of how expensive they are and that makes you treat it differently. It feels more like a, "device" than a phone, if that makes sense. People are used to being able to not worry about their phone too much, short of drops, but with a folding phone, you definitely feel less relaxed about tossing it around lol. I use my OnePlus Open naked and my feelings go back and forth. I'm OCD enough that I am much more careful with it, but it also feels so much better with no case and the leather back helps with grip. I just take care of it and have a warranty/insurance, just in case. I definitely agree with the negatives brought up, though. You have to really want to multitask and want that big screen for these devices to be beneficial vs. a headache. We don't "need" anything more than a pixel a-series level phone. These are just nice to have. Foldables are more niche/nerdy. I've had my coworkers ask about my Open and I showed them what you can do with it and the average/non nerdy person think it's too much technology and overwhelming. Foldables are for techies it seems and I doubt we will ever reach a point where they achieve any sort of mass adoption. Maybe Google's pixel fold can do well by offering a much more straightforward user experience for regular phone users.
@@27Binx72 I'm really sad I forgot to mention that I work in a retail setting with a lot of contractors. And I'm noticing a lot more of these contractors are using foldables. I actually try to keep count of how many I see on a daily basis and it's really cool to just see people who you wouldn't think are techies using a foldable but they're using it because they run a business and have to multitask so much throughout the day! But yeah I definitely am not that techy-minded and have to actually make myself use the multi-tasking features LOL
@@disagreeablegames That's really cool! I would definitely love to nerd out about something a contractor and I have a connection with. That's an interesting insight! I wouldn't expect someone like that to use something so not mainstream, so that's actually really kinda neat.
I use my Fold 5 naked and treat it like any other phone. It gets tossed around, dropped, pocketed, etc. without any extra care. It still looks and functions like new a year later aside from a small scuff on the bezel.
Get her the strap Case with kickstand. Great video...love her pixel 5 reference 😅 my wife gets all my phones. She is currently using pixel 8 pro. Pixel 7 pro before that
Once again, if you want to check out Jessi's gaming channel.. www.youtube.com/@disagreeablegames

The difference in lighting is actually pretty funny. 😄 like she’s full of light and you’re on the dark side. 😂

I understand her feeling it is harder to open. I came from a Fold 4 to the 6 and I noticed that immediately. I'm used to it now.

I very much enjoyed this. Your wife is a trooper. These videos are fun and it's nice to get a normies perspective. Well clone Shane.
Get her the pixel fold she already loves the poxel
This should have gone the usability aspect. Normal users vs tech or niche users. Normal users far outnumbers the other users. Tech speech, bezels, benchmarks mean little to them. Cost, reliability and sturdiness are the most important. Sometimes we need to can down and regroup. 🤣
We are the opposite of normal..... we're different 😅!
Great video Shane. Maybe your wife can use and review the OnePlus open
I concur.
Let the wife try the one plus open ❤ and try the camera vs the fold 6 auto focus being blurry on the pictures she takes inside
Good video bro
Another girl checking in! Get your wife a pixel 9 pro fold + insurance and call it a day.
Signed, a surface duo refugee and a pixel fan ☺️
I honestly think she'd love it, but my goodness our bank account might not be able to take the beating 😂
I am watching this video on my Z fold4 that quit opening 100% because of the hinge and then recently even with me not taking off to protector screen it stopped working now I just have the one front skinny screen will never buy another fold phone until Samsung addresses the bad hinge design
Buying S25 Ultra in January
Just watched the whike video. Gokd points.
I own an S24 Ultra anf Pixel 9 Pro Fold. Dont like ghe camera on the S24 Ultra much, it blurs too many photos of my daughter. It's just not reliable. The Pixel though just works every time. Specs dont matter if your shots are blurry half the time of anything that moves.
Her perspectives are in the 50% of phone users... like many people are buying because or just to have the new... but tech comprehension wise, most can do with a basic phone, this why most female have an iPhone; hardware never really sell the woman, it's the software, features and simplest OS to use, and ease of use, in a candy color variety pack personable shell. ZFold6 is more of a hardware tech junkies phone. It just beautiful this time!
I have a ZFold6,coming from ZFOLD3, and I can comfortably palm a basketball with either hand... and yet ZFold6 feels great and tightly compacted good in my hands... I have the thinborn style case... I like using the magsafe accessories, and my thin case will bulge outwork if I put a magsafe ring on phine itself? Otherwise, I'd rock ZFold6 naked, just need to be able to mount phone once enter my car and car accessories are magsafed
My case makes my phone a hair ever, slightly bigger. I prefer the smallest formfactor phone with the biggest screen to body ratio. My side phone is the note 10 6.3. So I think the design, sizes, and build of ZFold6 is next to perfect "for me."
Plus, the Foldables markets are kinda aimed towards the power users clubs and minded people.
Yet many buy due to the main screens and are really not power users, but streaming/social app users who want the best cameras.
Im a careful person and value my cheapest to expensive purchases the same... plus, I move with a consistent pace , not to be hasten too much that i get carelessness with time and things.
Loved her honesty, but she it completely opposite of her husband tech wise...
She is just simple, and that is a beautiful quality to have in a woman... long as it does the job, she could care less. Just show me how it works. Let me go, Jesse. 😆
Come on you guys, the Display on the Z Fold 4 is really no different than the
Z Fold 6.
Jessi you are doing Great👍 you are a natural.
And by the wayJessi with the OnePlus open or the Google pixel 9 Pro fold, even the OG Pixel Fold, you can grow your fingernails as long as you want👍
Basically, You'll still be able to enjoy that Cover Display.
It's *much* brighter
@@myproject13ttt I hope to one day get to try one of the pixel folds!
@@shanecraigtech yes, I will aree with that my friend 👍
18:16 my wife frequently talks about me to her family like I'm an alien because she's seen me drop a phone a whole two times in the twelve years we've been together.... and she drops hers on concrete every day on the way from our car to the house (and like three more drops throughout the day 😂)
OH AND she wants my old Surface Duo... ain't no way I'm putting that phone in her hands it'll die.
Sounds familiar lol
Why don't you lend your wife the OnePlus open? I think she'd enjoy that the best. I have the OnePlus open and it's fantastic😊 thanks for your videos take care and be well❤
too thin she said ? omg how come ?? the fold 6 is the thickest phone ever in the market .. i heard a lot of people complaining about how thick it is and it has a size of 2 mobiles combined together ,, and now she said thin !! 🤣🤣😂 .. ohh by the way , you are hearing the sound coming only from the left side because you are holding the phone in wrong rotation , just rotate the phone until the speaker becomes 1 in the left & 1 in the right , Samsung didn't design this phone to be held in a randomly rotation
This was thoroughly explained in the video
Likely want to trade in the 4 for the 6 if I go to America. Trade in elsewhere is garbage
First, I'm normal...hahaha🤷🏼♂️
You now need to have your wife use the OnePlus open , so she could see what other brands are offering . I am one of your 2 female watchers lol , I just bought the Honor magic v2 as It's had a very big price drop in the UK since the v3 has been released , just to give an idea of my previous favourite phone it was the Huawei Mate 20x it had a 7.2 inch screen lol .
I have been wanting a folding phone for years, but I thought they were too expensive and too flimsy , with the price of the Honor v2 under a £1000 for the phone, I was willing to take a chance , and the phones are now not in the prototype release phase.
It would be pretty interesting to see what she thinks of a OnePlus phone 🤔
Girl here 😂
I knew there had to be more than two.. 🤣
I'm a woman and watching 🤚
It would be really interesting to see how your wife feels about the pixel folding phones since she usually uses a pixel phone 😊
Why in different rooms?
We both have our own PC that we game on with friends. Mine is in my studio for obvious reasons and hers is in a room that's basically hers to do with what she wants.
It's simplest to do it this way and we both get our own mic and no worry about fitting both of us on camera, etc.
foo mind your business damn lol
More specifically I'm a lot more comfortable in the sunroom because it's warmer and it's cooler in Shane's room as well.
It's cleaner and it is way easier
I get what she's saying.
I love the form factor of foldables and that overrides the negatives for me, but you are very cognitive of how expensive they are and that makes you treat it differently. It feels more like a, "device" than a phone, if that makes sense. People are used to being able to not worry about their phone too much, short of drops, but with a folding phone, you definitely feel less relaxed about tossing it around lol.
I use my OnePlus Open naked and my feelings go back and forth. I'm OCD enough that I am much more careful with it, but it also feels so much better with no case and the leather back helps with grip. I just take care of it and have a warranty/insurance, just in case.
I definitely agree with the negatives brought up, though. You have to really want to multitask and want that big screen for these devices to be beneficial vs. a headache. We don't "need" anything more than a pixel a-series level phone. These are just nice to have.
Foldables are more niche/nerdy. I've had my coworkers ask about my Open and I showed them what you can do with it and the average/non nerdy person think it's too much technology and overwhelming. Foldables are for techies it seems and I doubt we will ever reach a point where they achieve any sort of mass adoption. Maybe Google's pixel fold can do well by offering a much more straightforward user experience for regular phone users.
@@27Binx72 I'm really sad I forgot to mention that I work in a retail setting with a lot of contractors. And I'm noticing a lot more of these contractors are using foldables. I actually try to keep count of how many I see on a daily basis and it's really cool to just see people who you wouldn't think are techies using a foldable but they're using it because they run a business and have to multitask so much throughout the day! But yeah I definitely am not that techy-minded and have to actually make myself use the multi-tasking features LOL
@@disagreeablegames That's really cool! I would definitely love to nerd out about something a contractor and I have a connection with. That's an interesting insight! I wouldn't expect someone like that to use something so not mainstream, so that's actually really kinda neat.
I use my Fold 5 naked and treat it like any other phone. It gets tossed around, dropped, pocketed, etc. without any extra care. It still looks and functions like new a year later aside from a small scuff on the bezel.
20:01 RIGHT?! The whole tech community got wrapped up in the price and failed to give Pixel 5 the flowers it deserved.
Get her the strap Case with kickstand. Great video...love her pixel 5 reference 😅 my wife gets all my phones. She is currently using pixel 8 pro. Pixel 7 pro before that
