15 Pro Max vs Z Fold 5 - BATTLE of the heavyweights! 🥊

[@B-MARTINEZ22]

I switched from iPhone 14 to the Fold 5 - it’s a completely different mobile experience, and I’m enjoying it. Not to mention it looks futuristic and I get so many compliments.

Z Fold is the best phone in the World right now until they stop milking the design and the Sliding Phone comes out. iPhones are ok but for the average Sheep public, you can sell anything to even a new no different iPhone

[@baltazargonzalez6221]

The iPhone is a great phone, but once you go to samsung Fold, it's almost impossible to go back to a regular size phone, The Z Folds completely changed my joy for business or pleasure, me personally I'm loving every feature of it. 😀👍🏼

[@MiltonCorbin]

1st of all, great video. I use the Fold 4 and a Samsung Watch 4. I also have an iPhone 12 pro max and an Apple watch. I honestly hardly use my iPhone. I get that ppl love the ecosystem, but Samsung has its own as well. I think I heard you mention that nothing compares to Airdrop, but Samsung has its own airdrop and those additional features you mentioned toward the end are available on Samsung too. I have ny phone down to where it's comparable to my iPhone in every way except being able to imessage ppl. One last thing that I noticed NO ONE talks about is RCS messaging, which allows you to use an android like imessage; the only thing i can't do is play games. With Google Messages, I can respond to individual messages, present reactions, label ny chats with titles, share media at original quality, and view videos within the chat without having to switch to something like KZbin. Ppl really gotta play with their android devices the SAME way they would their iphone, if they did they pound learn ALOT.

I wonder how often are you using the inner big screen of the fold? I have used the fold 5 for a bit but majority of the time I am using the narrow screen

Basically, I use my fold 5 for media consumption and multitasking whenever I need to do some serious work , as for my iphone 15 pro max, I use it as a normal on-the go phone for every other things just like a tool in my pocket. My iphone is always there for every day mobile phone usage. I am not tied to any ecosystem, therefore, I use Sony Wf1000xm5 for both device and the transitions has been pretty remarkable.🎉

I understand that the apple ecosystem is a big deal, but if you try to put that on the side for a bit, what phone is your preferred first pick when leaving the home for the everyday life? I'm using a fold 3 and I had it in a case for over a year, but now when I am about to switch phone shortly I use it caseless and love it. I'm on the fence between choosing a iPhone 15 pro (not max), flip 5 or fold 5. Last I used iPhone I had an iPhone 11 pro. It was "boring" (lacking customization) but it was such a good and reliable phone. The fold with its special aspect ratio can sometime make the experience feel a bit unpolished, though samsung is still great when pushing the folding software forward compared to the competition.

[@thomasc5817]

It has face ID and Fingerprints. You never have to enter in a password ever, just use the Fingerprint. And if you had any Bluetooth devices ( i.e watch, headphones etc.) You can register it as a known devices and as long as you have the earphone on and near your phone its unlocked.

Do you see the Fold 5 have the ability to replace the iPad mini if you were in the Android echo system? Does it have the capability to do what the mini does overall? Could it be considered two devices in one? It might be a better alternative if I did not have to have two expensive devices vs buying just one device which does both. I do love my 15 pro max. The camera is amazing. Especially taking pictures in low light. It is incredible how clear and bright the pictures are at dusk on the pro max. Thanks for the video.

[@lafikdadi1]

Patrick. Your last comments in the video about finding it difficult to move away from the iPhone and that everything just works, left me thinking: [ isn't that the reason Apple created an ecosystem? They ensure that those who use the system are hooked and remain; Or else, bear the consequences of leaving the system or trying to incorporate other systems. By that I mean bear a financial cost, bear a psychological cost, and bear the feeling of isolation and emptiness. There're many users who cannot leave the ecosystem. What you're experiencing was done by design. In the midst of rapid technological growths and global interconnectivity, ONE COMPANY decided not to integrate; deliberately designed its systems not to interact seamlessly with other systems and forced a "DETATED EXPERIENCE" on its consumers. A classic example of the Metrics - it makes it difficult for you to get out of your own head to explore other possibilities; but, only with the mindset that this must be the only best way.

Foldables are definitely more prone to issues, but plenty of people have had their fold 3 for years now with no issues or issues only now cropping up. That's not to say there might not be issues earlier, as some do experience, but I believe that since the fold 3 things have been quite a bit more durable than what the public tends to believe. The only situation you might want to be careful is if you do a SUPER dust-heavy job. If you work any kind of dusty job, the fold might be the wrong move.

I'm switching from iPhone SE 3rd gen, and S22 Ultra. I totally get what you mean about getting into the ecosystem. That's why i still can't only have android or only iPhone. But i managed to do all those things like air drop on the S22 ultra and since i've synced OneDrive and iCloud on one machine, i can now leave one phone at home and always have the latest data with me. Only thing i don't like is Siri and Apple Watch, due to lack of supported banks on the watch, and a very weak battery compared to the Fitbit or even Galaxy Watch 5.

Did you really say there there is nothing like airdrop, copying text on one device and paste it on another one, seamless switching between devices, operating all devices with the same mouse and keyboard, and more? I am just wondering how I can do all of that between my Fold5, TabS8 Ultra and my Samsung Galaxy Book2 Pro 360. The Multi control of Samsung includes even phones (e.g.vFold5) something Apple's Universal control can't do yet. And you have in addition Link to Windows and DeX for Windows, and Samsung Flow, just in case you don't like the other options. Please, just don't say "there isn't anything that ..." if you don't know it. You can't see the alternatives if you don't open your eyes. Edit: Multi-control works even if you hooked any 3rd party blootooth mouse and keyboard to your Fold 5. It is actually the only true "Universal control".

[@ShaunaMorgan]

I work in IT and I always have to send files, links and pictures to my Windows work computer. Luckily I have a Samsung Fold that allows me to wirelessly send them, as the only option I have on my iPhone is to email them, or upload them to iCloud, log into iCloud on my PC and then download them. The only reason the Fold can't wirelessly send files to his Macbook is because Apple doesn't allow it and iPhone zealots need to be honest, they like it that way because it makes them feel "superior." They're Green Bubble "Snootie Booties," lol. Can't believe that's actually a thing.

If you do Windows and Galaxy, then Apple is a misfit toy. But it's the same in reverse. If you are happy with the fruit phone ecosystem, then Samsung is a poor choice. I'm just glad they are both contending, it's the only thing that spurs them both to get better. Great, solid review! The best thing that ever happened to Samsung is Apple and vice versa.

You can enable swipe gestures in Android settings. As a matter of fact, because Android allows left, middle and right gestures, I find myself getting frustrated when I use my iPhone Max. I'm constantly swiping out of the app I'm in, when I only want to go back to the previous page.

[@vjd222]

@ShaunaMorgan haha yeah I just don't feel like they're as smooth as apples. A lot of time when I'm trying to swipe up to open my phone it thinks I'm trying to open my wallet. The only one that drives me crazy is swiping down to go into one handed mode. I prefer apples way of bringing the top half of the screen down then swiping up to go back to normal. I will sit there swiping down over and over until it finally realizes I'm trying to get the screen back to normal on the fold. I also miss how swiping up on the home screen of iphones quickly brings you to the finder w the keyboard already out. I think apple lets you swipe to go forward too and you can only go back on android. All pretty minor stuff. I still prefer the fold by a long shot! Also not organizing notifications by recently received is mind blowingly confusing to me. It's odd that you can customize so much, but they don't let you change that setting

The fold is truly nice. I am running the beta software at this time with it. What I can say is that it feels very futuristic like I can unfold it to use the bigger screen whenever I want to watch content on it, or simply use the flex mode on it so I can view the screen when I’m eating or maybe when I’m laying down. As for the keyboard when using it while folded, it needs some time to getting use to. When I have bad service at work, I usually place it near the window to take advantage of the hotspot so my iPhone can use WiFi, or vice versa, definitely helpful having two phones at the same time.

The ecosystem is no big deal I am sure there are alternatives, I love apple but when you get a new iPhone it just feels like ur old one. If I am wrong then I will go back to iPhone but you just need to try new things and I want to be more productive and organised. I mean look at the Apple notes app how basic is that , no multitasking, the reminders app, and we all get excited over a button on the side!! Marketing over imagination.

Damn the samesung with the 1 nits. What a dark screen :D 2:25 Happy new year even though I'm watching a 3 month old video :)

[@tonym5339]

Your videos are outstanding!!!! You definitely chose the right career. I, too, have been in the Apple ecosystem (and more than that every member of my family). But this… this is tempting. With Luma Fusion (which I use often) now on Android… combined with DEX… it really can replace a computer for me. I’m going to follow your lead and order one (I’ll wait for the 6) and see how it goes. Thanks for this open and honest review!!!!

[@PatrickRambles]

Thanks man, much appreciated 🤝

If you want a portable hotplate to cook on get an Iphone 15 pro max 😂

[@RealJoseph123]

Honestly if my Apple ecosystem did not exist, I’ll be on a Fold 5. I agree that the fold is appealing.

[@PatrickRambles]

Yep that ecosystem was a stroke of genius by Apple. Very difficult to leave.

[@arvandvarahram]

Just use the Samsung eco system instead. It is definitely at least as good, and it is open.

[@AIejandroide]

Just don't use every single Apple product, why is that so hard to do?

[@TheWorshipCollectiveTx]

Because they all work together easily. Once you’re in it’s hard to swap over. I’m in this same boat I want the fold but I have Apple TV , watch , MacBook I’m disappointed in the lack of “innovation” with iPhone

[@robo9439]

​@@TheWorshipCollectiveTxI went S23 ultra, Samsung laptop, windows gaming computer, Samsung Smart TV. Once your in an ecosystem it's so expensive to switch, otherwise ide try the apple ecosystem. You kind of get trapped in the ecosystem that you've already invested in. 🙂

[@KentChua-1838]

Shame you have been trapped into Apple whether you like it or not. I hate to feel trapped by a brand. Like eating the same meal everyday and wearing the same clothes ,you have no choice.

[@danielvaleriani]

Well I don't own a Samsung galaxy zfold but I do own a Samsung galaxy s23 ultra as my main and I got an old iPhone x as an iPod basically I will eventually upgrade that iPhone to have the best of both simple

[@powgee22]

I switched from 14 pro max to fold 5 last week, and the decision is perfect. Lol

[@jeromederouette2922]

thanks for the video Patrick i love them! i am totally team iphone and dislike android, but this year when i compare another version of iphone vs the real innovations brought by samsung it leaves a bitter taste! that fold 5 looks amazing! Only issue is at the end of the day it ll bring the android problems.

[@Aderiak85]

There are keyboards and mice that will copy/paste between devices, and the fold fits in like a laptop in a slot on the keyboard.

[@PatrickRambles]

Sure, there's workarounds for most things. I don't want to be reliant on a bunch of extra hardware for those features.

[@CristianoCritico]

I changed to the Zfold 4 after 10 years of Apple ecosystem. Worst decision ever. The phone was great, but after a year the external screen randomly stoped working right after the guarante. Never leaving Apple again

[@PatrickRambles]

Ouch

[@EthanCarey-o9i]

Anecdotal. Samsung makes some of the tankiest, best constructed devices on the market. They hold up better than almost anything. I had my gps stop working on my iPhone 6, left apple and have (almost) never looked back. Android has been great, and is indistibutably where more innovation has happened in the last 5-10 years.

[@MikeMPharmaCyclist]

You can get unlimited replacement coverage from Samsung for $11 a month

[@tomvanderschilden6636]

I don't understand the whole ecosystem thing. I switched from iPhone 15 to fold 5 seamlessly. I don't understand the whole "work around" comment. I had zero problems, and don't miss my iPhone at all, and believe me, I use my phone for a lot of things including work. I wish I didn't buy it before my fold 5. It got hot while I used it, which is why I even considered the fold 5 in the first place. I've only ever experienced apple products and wish I switched sooner. I was caught up in the hype I guess. I'm finally free and I couldn't be happier. I can't see myself going back to the boring slab phone, either android or apple. I never had a problem typing on either screen, either. For me, right now, it's Sammy all the way. They're killing it.

[@Gouer]

Im stocks trader, so the fold phone is really important for me

[@robo9439]

Do you do alot of multitasking? If so, how is it working out for you?

[@SoniaLyn]

Thanks for sharing this. 😊

[@redline3036]

Im going to get the new fold 6 switching from my iphone 14 pro max. I usually switch every so often I got so use to the iphones I have been using it after I broke my galaxy s8 its been pretty long since ive used anything other then the iphone so I think its time to switch it up for a couple years.

[@sunnyarora9887]

Theme name on fold 5

[@teem5945]

I'm not sure why people don't know that Samsung has something like FaceID. It has both finger print and FaceID function. I have been able to open my Samsung Note phones and Folds just by exposing my face to it for years. This works on other apps as well.

[@BarryAdams-xl6tq]

Can you use your watch ultra with the Samsung fold 5 ? Thanks in advance

[@PatrickRambles]

Unfortunately not.

[@abelkrishna6631]

Just prior to the iPhone 15 release, I trialled the fold 5 for 1 months. I found that while a ‘folding phone’ design is far superior to a slab style phone, the current folding phones just aren’t there yet. Additionally, we need to consider that any comparisons against iPhone and Samsung is going to be more than just a comparison on form factor but also the operating system. Ultimately, the Apple ecosystem is too good. If Apple were to make a folding phone option which essentially allows users to have a larger screen at will without any compromises of the front screen size and overall size of the phone, then it would be a game changer. I’m sticking to Apple for now, but if anything comes close to utopia in terms of design, I would be the Honor V2.

[@imn0tgarbage]

Man idk. I just switched from the 13 to the fold 5 and I wouldn't go back. Android eco system is just as smooth as ios imo. What about the ecosystem has you stuck?

[@ShaunaMorgan]

@@imn0tgarbage Exactly. I have an iPhone and a Fold, and my Fold not only works with all my smart home devices, but my Windows PC and Chromebook. I think the Apple ecosystem is very good, IF you only have Apple devices... But I wouldn't trade my Asus Pro Duo for 10 Macbook pros, lol and I can send files and links, get my phone notifications and text family and friends on that, just as well as the Apple ecosystem. The Apple ecosystem is carefully curated to get people in and imprison them there, imho. My XReal AR glasses just worked straight out the box with my Fold. I had to buy a specialized adapter for it to work with my iPhone. With Apple I feel like there's always some catch, something extra you have to buy to get it to do what YOU want it to do. With Samsung, more specifically Android, you are only limited by your own imagination.

[@ronhali3164]

@ShaunaMorgan and I can charge any device with my Samsung. My wife has iPhone, charger broke, and she wirelessly charged her phone up on the back of my phone. Apple is just a marketing genius, branding genius. Once you have the iPhone ppl look at you differently, even through the fold is like $600-$700 more. One thing that frustrates me, is apple has this amazing potential, but they just won't put all their tech in one phone, naw the pace it out over several years and several phone the milk the helm out their customers. There isn't one upgrade that been released on iPhone that hasn't already came out on Android and for cheaper. And they make their loyal, very loyal fans settle for old tech with better branding but no customization. Had my S21 at the same time my wife got her apple 12 , and as soon as the 15 got released her phone slowed and her battery with last all day only last half now 🧤🥼 And the thing that pisses me about Samsung is no marketing or branding know how they will just drop a phone with zero hype 🤣. At least apple you are hyped before the release even if its the same phone with just a new emoji 🤣

[@josephtewksbury6546]

@patrick The fold can play games via Dex and should work wirelessly connecting to smart tv's also if I recall correctly. It also lets controllers connect via Bluetooth as well as a mouse and keyboard. As for triple A games both have the ability to play XBOX Cloud Gaming App and GamePass. I'm sure android has other companies putting their games on there too since they are very open to change and upgrades in comparison. Also comparing the Fold to the 15 Max pro isn't fair because its not a gaming phone. Its a multitasking more work type phone. The s23 ultra is the gaming version phone basically but isn't listed that way. As for Apple Computers they were great for graphics back in the old days but they aren't ahead like that anymore for the $$$. The Apple eco system should really be called the You just wasted extra money you didn't need to eco scammer system.

[@aaronhorm994]

I hope between iPhone and Samsung every time I get a new phone, I went from the 11 pro max to the zflip 5 this time around

[@morm2173]

The z fold 5 and s23 ultra are way better and with features like the programmable side key and gaming ,samsung has been able to do those things for years as well as USB C. I have the s23 ultra and it's the best phone ive ever used. Also the s23 ultra has dynamic island, multi tasking , s pen capabilities and emulators w with more games, and 10 x zoom with full clarity etc. However, I just used the 15 pro max today and the camera is impressive and it's very light but still my s23 ultra is more fun to use and also more capabilities and just wait until the z fold 6 ultra is released next year Also with the iphone It can't really multi task, use copy and paste clipboard, run emulators for old school games and new games , use s pen stylus functionality with gestures , download anything from anywhere at anytime, use smart view projection nor anything like DEX projection , wireless powershare which comes in handy when you forget charger , similar charging speeds. Also on ios 17 reaching the control center is harder then my old iPhone 6s and you can't really customize the navigation method to shapes like samsung which isn't necessarily for me . For me I'm a samsung guy but I'll say this iphone 15 pro I give the camera clarity props after testing it but Samsung once I experienced those features I can't live without them
