      Neither for me. I really prefer the regular phone layout (candy bar as you call it haha). I have an ipad mini if I want to do tablet things and an iPhone 13 Pro as my phone. I don't see much of a point in the flip. It looks really cool but honestly the 13 Pro isn't that big in my pocket and is easy for me to use with one hand.

    I'm glad you made that point that the front display is NOT all that tall. I actually LOVE the thinner front display as it makes one-handing the phone MUCH easier for tasks such as carrying something anding needing to respond to a text or answer a call. If I need to use 2 hands, I GET TO open it up to that BEAUTIFUL inner display.
    Edit: also a small note. They actually HAVE been making incrimental improvements to that crease on the inner display. The difference between the 4 and 5 might be small, but the difference between the 3 and 5 is much mroe noticable.

    That really was an honest review. I agree with everything, having tried fold 4 and 5 myself. I own fold 4 and there is absolutely no reason to get the 5. Save yourself some money and buy the fold 4. Use the extra money to buy a watch 6

      If you're willing to take some chances and deal with a few possible headaches for a deal, you can always buy ebay refurbished z fold 4s for around 600$ and they're covered with a 1 year warranty under allstate. At least the last time I checked you could do that. It's crazy that just a year later you can get 2 z fold 4s for less than the price of one on release.

    I carry around my phone AND a Windows surface for doing art projects on the road and was curious if a fold phone + S pen would suffice for when I don't want to or can't carry my bag. I don't have a huge budget though so I was looking at just getting a 7 inch tablet and carrying both around just wearing jackets with larger pockets. Trying to decide if the 4 would do the job since I'd be putting it in a case anyway and don't really care about slight improvements to hinges etc.

    On my fold 4 there aren't a 1x or 2x in portrait mode. It only shows symbals with one person or two person. Is this because it's a European edition or am I missing something in the settings?
    Also, seeing another video, there are somee differences in settings when it comes to Samsung's data collections as well.

    I am definitely an edge case, but I currently have a Fold 4 256gb and am jumping to the 5. I got my Fold 4 for 840 bucks refurbished. With the trade in value of $1000 giving me a $160 profit on my initial purchase, $50 email offer, getting the 512GB upgrade free along with the $80 worth of samsung points I had in my account I am getting the newest Fold for roughly 400-500 off the price I would pay outright. Sure my initial purchase was an absolute steal but I like the satisfaction of knowing I have a brand new device with proper coverage. But I agree with pretty much everyone else that it's not worth the jump unless you are rich or got a crazy deal on your previous phone like I did.

    After using the Flip 4 for a year I don't understand why people make it as if there is some additional effort to open the phone and use the main screen. After a short time, it is almost a subconscious action. I am anticipating the arrival of my Fold 5 and I doubt if I will use the outer screen for anything more than looking at notifications and answering calls. If you aren't using the inner screen I don't know why you would buy this phone.

    It's odd, most reviewers show at least an extra hour of battery life, which is logical given how much more efficient the snapdragon 8 gen 2 (for Samsung) is vs the Gen 1 Fold 4 chip that was not highly regarded for thermal problems. However, there are few that see discernable photo improvements. I guess it's a user case thing. Great review, I'm upgrading a Note 20 Ultra which is a generation behind the Fold 4, so I expect improvements across the board.

    • @nacho3570
      @nacho3570 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

      The Fold4 didn't use the 8 Gen 1 but rather the 8+ Gen 1, which was much more energy efficient. It has much better battery life than a lot of early 2022 flagships, even with its not very impressive battery

    I don’t understand why everyone complains about the crease. It’s barely noticeable if you’re not trying to pay attention to it. The thing that bugs me is it being nearly a $2,000 phone with a non-flagship camera. I loved my fold 4, but the camera was just too mid, I had to return it. Once the cameras get better I’ll be rocking the folds again

    • @hobosnake1
      @hobosnake1 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      If these phones were 1200 instead of 1800-2000$, I bet these would become very popular. I can't understand why Samsung wouldn't just sell these cheaper. At this point we're generations in. If they want the market share in america and to get ahead of apple whatsoever, why not do what Samsung did before? Up the standard for phones. Samsung made big screens the norm on phones and apple had to adjust. Why not get ahead? Sell these things at a loss if you have to (they don't, they could profit off of these selling them for 900$ if they wanted)

    Im upgrading 1 cause my 4 already needed hinge repair and as they repaired that the fingerprint reader ended up needing to be replaced as well and in my experience once you need to fix a phone like this it doesnt last much longer after it gets opened and messed around with. The deals they are offering me are too good to pass up so i can be primed and ready for when the 6 comes out, and thats where most people speculate the big changes will be. 2 rhe brighter inner screen so it will actually be usable during daylight. 3. better cases cause the ones for the 4 have all been subpar and terrible quality. Ultimately, I had my 4 never needed repairs. i wouldn't consider upgrading, but i did go to the samsung store and compare them, and there is a difference in the crease and screen brightness and with the deals theyre offering in conjunction with cash back from either Rakuten or chase ultimate rewards im basically getting 1500-1600 off the phone so itd make no sense not to upgrade even for minor improvements especially given that these phones dont really retain retail value after a few months from release.

    So glad you picked up on the noise opening the screen! Fold 4 sounds like something is wearing, or that the screen protector is stretching - it's a horrible noise and put me off opening it as much as I should have. New one feels much much better .. that and the fact it really folds flat now is way more important to me than the gap when folded. Fold 5 is a much larger upgrade, hardware wise, than most reviews are letting on.

Once they start, the center is full of dust within one month. I'm on the fence about skipping the 4 and go to the 5. My tmobile guy who prefers samsung told me wait until apple comes out with a foldable, then when samsung copies them... get that fold.

    I upgraded from 4 to 5 mostly because I had some minor damage on my 4 so deductible on insurance was 250 and Samsung had a deal for 1200 dollar trade in so it was about 650 to upgrade and omg the hinge upgrade alonejs worth 400 dollars it's a world of difference especially after a year of use on the 4. Also my screen started to delaminate and when I say that I mean the screen protector on the fold 4 apparently the five has a stronger adhesive so that is also better

      It's literally user preference. Are you a consumer that just want a phablet to consume social media content. Are you into creation or business use where you wanna multitask emailing, copying data/statistics, making videos/photos, etc. Are you a mobile gamer? Either way, you get more screen, which is better.

    I switched ftom the 4 to the 5 after my hinge broke for the second time in 6 months ( got it repaired from Samsung) honestly the increased brightness of the inner screen makes a huge difference to usability (it feels more like a doubling of brughtness even though its only increased by 33 percent) and the fact it lays flat with 90 percent less wobble and the crease is noticably less visible as long as its not completely flat. My fold 4 got much hotter, but the fold 5 has been pretty cool for me. Battery life does seem a bit worse, but so far, it lasts me all day unless i start really pushing the inner screen. I really hope they find a way to maje it thinner /lighter on the 6, i like the more narrow screen but even just making it slightly wider so the inner screen is bigger (with a bigger battery and inner screen too) would be great. If they could get to a point where using the inner screen could last you, almost a full day itd be the greatest phone. At the very least, faster charging. I dont really care about the cameras, but what's the point of all that real estate of the inner screen if the content you take looks mediocre. For the price, it really should blow the ultra out of the water on all fronts

      Very sensible advice. The Galaxy Fold 6 is a minor upgrade and at $1800 unless you are rich clearly not worth upgrading from the Fold 4 (£1100 loss in a year with trade-in in the UK for a few changes). I understand hardcore Samsung fans will buy whatever but the Fold 4 is solid with the same cameras and only 30-60 mins less battery life. I have no idea why anyone would want to lose £1100 to upgrade from 4 to 5?

    Counterargument to the tall display. The phone is also thicker. Plus the other two phones aren't really made for single hand use. What's the point of having the front display so narrow if you have to use two hands anyways?
    Also, Samsung seems to throttle the soc more on their phones vs other manufacturers.

    Great thankyou this is exactly what I needed to know!!! I have literally had the Zfold4 since it was released, but it is way too narrow to type on. I hate this. Literally hate trying to type on it. I use it unfolded most of the time. I was soooo hoping they would make a wider version. The pen is something i've never used as i prefer the stand (even though its way flimsy and the first one i had even snapped!). please why can't Samsung make the Zfold5 wider so i can actually type on it? and this weighs a tonne with the free case on it. the pen storage on the Z5 looks great, but what about a stand aswell? the only thing I hate is trying to type on a screen that is just too narrow, (and i'm a woman with relatively small hands). how on earth is anyone with larger hands meant to use it???? Please samsung make the display wider!!!!! I hate this tiny width after having iphones. I reluctantly may go back to an iphone if samsung can't make the Zfold wider. Vx

    Got the upgrade. I gotten pleasently suppriest. The screen brightness is finally good enough. And my carrier in sweden lets you swap phones after a year and get rid of the last year for a new phone trading in your old one. They tend to not hold out much longer then a year so for me to get some savings it needs to last at least 2 years and if my note could barly handle 2,5years i got no faith in the fold series to hold out longer. Fold 2 screen replacement 8 month, same for fold 3. Fold 4 11 month main and sub board, dual battery replacement and lcd replacement for the wakom pen. Warranty so at least i dont need to pay. I use my phone a lot in work outside in rain freezing tempretures and sweaty work pants. The lift in the emulation like switch games got a big boost.

Then not even after 2 months I got the black screen which the y told me the phone is faulty and has an affect, so I told them I don't want that phone anymore as it's been nothing but a nightmare, constantly getting hot, so I asked for the replacement of the new Z5 over the S23 Ultra, the Samsung customer service rep told me that the S23 Ultra is a downgrade compared to the Z 4 or Z5.

    The reason I got it was for the 1tb (video and photo editor) over the 256gb at the time the f4 was available. And... the promo items. Buds2 and watch 5 (bt) only, unfortunately.
