Are Folding Phones ready? Samsung Fold 4 Review

[@ShaunRoselt]

Foldables are definitely ready. I got my second one now. I love it.

[@tombrandmedia]

They are great, but they still need some durability. My Fold 4 after a beach session sounds like death

@@tombrandmedia My first Fold 3's inner display broke after a year. Didn't fall or anything. But I'm still super happy with it.

[@AgavePiper]

@@tombrandmedia Apple fanboys said its just a gimmick crap till they make one then its now become new technology, forgot to say till Samsung makes one for them either 😂

This is a great review! I'm considering getting a Z Fold (either the 4 or the 5 in August) and one of the biggest concerns that I have is battery life. With the huge inner display being used most of the time, I wanted to know more about how its battery holds up over a day. I know you mentioned it'll get you through 3/4 of a day, but I wanted to ask you about the specific tasks that you do that might drain the battery. I typically have youtube as my highest used app per day ~1.5 - 2 hrs on average, google chrome in the background and for work, Samsung notes/jotting down lists, and the odd game or two, among various other tasks. Given this, how long would you say the Fold would last? I know this is a bit long, but thanks in advance!

[@tombrandmedia]

I watch about the same amount of youtube and use my phone for shooting. 3/4s would be with charging to 100%. I would say if KZbin is your highest like that then you might get more out of it then I do, a lot of my usage is navigation and doing 3d Tours, since I do real estate photography. The battery is noticeable but not a deal breaker. I'd say wait for the 5 at this point, its so close anyways. Again though the battery will be worse then a typical phone but not something I would hesitate around if you have a charger in your car or wt work ETC its not to bad.

@Tom Brand That's good to hear, I've been following a lot of the Fold 5 leaks, and with the new 8 Gen 2, I think battery performance will increase noticeablely. Thanks for replying so quickly, I hope to see more epic content from you! 👍

[@tombrandmedia]

Thanks man! Yea looks promising, possibly no hinge gap either👀

[@tonyyayo5548]

I believe Samsung Galaxy foldable smartphones will one-day be the best smartphones ever

[@tombrandmedia]

Maybe they will!

[@TRACKR9800]

Do you think apple will ever make a device comprable to this? How often do you actually use the cover screen? Thanks for the great reviews and engaging content!!!!

[@tombrandmedia]

I dont think apple will, for years and the cover screen i only use for quick tasks

[@michaelalford6624]

Clearly the cover display is for one handed use 😂 idk why people want to type with 2 hands 😅 smh best phone on the market ! Handsdown

[@tombrandmedia]

Sometimes I use 2 to just quickly send something and that makes it unpleasant! Its definitely top 3!
