00:37 You’re showing a comparison between Z Fold 2 and Z Fold 3. The left one is clearly 2, not 4.
Poor Samsung. I can see why everyone’s been like, meh… 🤭
It looks bigger than the fold 4
What’s annoying is still the 25 watt charging speed.. come on now Honor Magic V2 comes with 5000mah and 66 watt fast charge…cover screen still stay the same narrow, we need bigger screen and spen using on the screen cover… what attract me is still the flip 5 and series 6 classic watch
Apart from it completely shutting looks exactly the same as my fold 4
Kinda disappointing, let me explain:
- New chip from each upgrade is just the norm, and it’s qualcalm’s work not Samsung’s.
- Front screen is still too narrow, u don’t want to type on such narrow screen you will make typos on almost every word you type.
- No build-in S Pen, this alone will make this upgrade worth it, but I guess Samsung must think it might cannibalize S23U revenue.
I think the ideal upgrade should be make front screen wider, and use that additional room to make build in S Pen. Which will also make the big screen better aspect ratio for movies/videos.
In short, my honest opinion is that this years fold upgrade is very underwhelming.
The inner display camera is still the same? Nah, I’ll pass. Think I’m gonna keep my Fold 3 for another year.
So basically…nothings changed…awesome
No reviews or manufacturers seem to focus on accessibility.
These phones with larger screens are attractive to visually impaired users because we need large fonts and icons, but are often stuck using devices like the Samsung Galaxy Active 3 tablet because it’s more affordable.
It has a sim tray, so can be used as a phone, but doesn’t support functions like wifi calling.
I wish Samsung, Pixel and Oppo would consider VI users more when user testing these large screen devices.
No gap is an improvement?!! How? It’s still the same. I barely notice how the fold 4 is gapless
Yeah still no reason to upgrade again, keeping my fold 3
That was a Z fold 2 and 3, not 3 and 4 in that picture 😅
Needs an internal s pen and wider outer display to justify the premium price
TM Roh is ruining Samsung by following Apple. No improvements just price increase
Only reason I got zfold 5 was price and upgrade. My zfold3 received 800 usd trade value for a 512 gig zfold5 massive win. Finally I did not upgrade zfold 3 to zfold 4 and patiently waited a one year cycle. If you own a zfold 4 you should not upgrade… if zfold 6 pulls out the same stunt of no major upgrade I will be out and no more buying any foldable phone. The phone is expensive Samsung should meet expectations.
These folding phones are great tech but still too fragile for everyday use.
The flat fold is so much better. That gap hinge was what stopping me from getting the Z Fold 4, and the small outer display. OnePlus Open is coming out next month though, probably shorter front display which will make it way bigger, like a normal phone.
Phone are inexorably getting bigger. Just like cars.
So no s24 ultra?
Yeah I’m getting the Google fold 🤦🏻
looks good. i need the Irish i.o.s for myselfs eyes
I won’t be trading my 4 for thr 5. Not enough improvements. I’m wait and see what the 6 brings.
Does this phone have the capability to pin an app ? I am referring to the ability to lock an app so that you can’t get out of the app. My Samsung phone has it and I use this feature all the time with YouTube kids
I’m still not sure who is getting the fold for entertainment as you mentioned… the aspect ratio is so squared that you’re really not getting much from media consumption.. without big black bars anyways
Want to hear something funny, the Z Fold 5 is really the Z Fold 4. Lol 😂 all they did was rearrange the camera light lol 😂 . Make the phone fold flat to leave no gap. And they fool customers each year with chip set upgrades because a hair faster sometimes is not noticable enough to say something is faster lol 😂 . All the other Specs is Identical. On Samsung website they know it’s the same phone because go to the compare phones section and you will see the specs on Z Fold 4 are identical to Z Fold 5 all they did was rearrange the words like they did the rear Camera lights.
i got my 512gb version for a nice cheap $680 thanks to trade in discounts and app exclusive offers
When one day Apple releases a brand new foldable phone design, Apple and their fans are going to act like it is such an innovative design but, remember, Samsung came out with it first.
..the crease is less noticeable on z fold5 compared to the z fold4..
I put my hands on z fold 5 at my local Bestbuy yesterday and it is Lighter in weight and the screen gets brighter and the crease was DEFINITELY LESS NOTICEABLE, U can almost not see it or feel it… and could not see or tell the inner screen protector was there… this is compared to the z fold4..
I’m actually impressed about the crease being less noticeable..😮😁👍WOW.. the s pen and the case is also nice and light and flat/thin..
