I RETURNED MY Z FOLD 4 FOR AN IPHONE 14 PRO MAX. here why. i always saw these android guys talking crap and never had anything to say back since i didnt know what the experience on android was like in the past few years. I can now say that it is abysmal and one of the most frustrating phones ever. i could talk for hours but heres some things. YOU STILL CAN NOT SEND AND RECEIVE VIDEOS PROPERLY IN 2023. unless the other person has mms every single video even if its one second long with look terrible receiving and sending or youll get a message “this video is too big lets SHORTEN IT and LOWER THE QUALITY” my provider told me to USE FACEBOOK MESSENGER on an almost 2 thousand dollar phone and $500 monthly bill. EXCUSE ME? also the cameras are soooo bad on anything thats not the samsung camera app (yeah they havnt fixed that, so embarrassing for yourself and i woukd hope samsung) and still it kinda looks awful in the app. THE PHONE LAGS DOING BASIC TASKS AND ITS ALMOST TWICE THE PRICE AS AN IPHONE. Maps open and nothing else, it lagged sometimes and froze CAUSING ME TO MISS MY EXIT, tik tok freezes glitches all the time and the aspect ratio is fricked up in every app so theres tons of glitches with that. the face id is useless it just doesnt work over half the time. fingerprint good. theres a bug with the software thats been happening for a year apparently where the wifi cuts out for no reason constantly and you have to turn wifi on/off. samsung has no solution i have called. theres work arounds ive found on reddit but never lasted since you have to disable a key feature for it to not bud. IT LAGS ALL THE TIME. Audio and mic and background noise in calls all bad. not good speakers but louder than 14 pro max. text to speech much worse than iphone. it started learning my voice and got better but i never have problems with iphone. the AI is dumb and will type out “period” and obvious things like that not all the time but still wtf. something i thought kinda sucked on iphone is selecting text and and copying but ooooohhh no i ran into multiple bugs just trying to select text and it felt clunky as crap sometimes. gps didnt seem as accurate but thats negligible. screen touches felt not as responsive and often made me doing the same gesture’s multiple times before it understood. all of the gimmick hand gestures are total bs. you still have to slide your whole hand across the screen for a screenshot and it is the most awkward cringe way you could ever think of. could keep going but its 4 am. anyways i returned the fold 4 and thank gosh it was 1900 and the pro max is 1200 with a free ipad from verizon LOL android is still a crap shoot and anyone defending them is a moron. i went through so many hoops transferring to android because i like the fold tech but JEEZ it was a terrible experience and i will never talk crap about apple again probably.

I was a long time Apple user until the fold 4 came out, i spent so much time researching and ended up pre ordering teh fold 4 and boy, i havent been dissapointed. Extremely happy with the change and the ability to use both screens. I think if i hadve just gone the flip 4 i wouldnt have been as happy, the fold just does it all. As long as the innovation keeps happening from samsung, i think ill be a user for them for the forseeable future

i was using an iphone 11 pro and an ipad mini 6 and just recently switched to the z fold 4. For now I am so happy about this decision. Changing to android was quite easy for I was mostly using multi platform apps like microsoft one note. I can stil use my air pods 3 without any issues. It is so practical having both, a phone and a tablet in one device and Samsung's software gives so much personalisation options.

[@ericnamisnotthatold]

Yall don't know how happy I am, a month ago I cancelled my iphone iphone 14 pro max order (they said that I would need to wait till mid February) and in the same day bought z fold 4. This is such an amazing phone. I was little bit worried about battery life and cameras, but tbh cameras are good enough and battery life is also really good.

[@Shingeki__]

When the Fold first came out I purposely waited to get one, knowing the first iteration would be bad. Fold 4 is my entry and I couldn't be more happy! I've converted some coworkers over to Android without even trying. It doubling as a tablet is just too good. It's not perfect yet though. I feel like either the Fold 5 or 6 will be big moments for the brand!

[@notleoso]

I was a hardcore Apple fanboy, but once I bought the Fold 2 when it came out I fell in love with Android. I've had urges to go back to iPhone because everyone around me has one, and when I switch my sim back to my iPhone I hate it. It's very bland and boring, and I always switch my sim right back to my Samsung phones.

[@favulus1]

I'm going foldable on my next phone. I currently have the pixel6 so I am waiting to see how the pixel foldable does and its design. But Samsung is 5 foldables ahead of google which is something to consider. We shall see come this spring.

[@TheNejoe]

Let me tell you I bought the fold 4 and after only two months the hinge failed and it started to make a cracking noise every time I opened it and I took care of it like it was a rare jewel I’ll tell you I quickly went to iPhone 14 pro max I don’t have time to baby a phone . A phone is to use and not worry about if something is going to happen to it . I love the idea but it’s not quite there yet .

[@ncorvelli]

Great video! I've used both iOS and Android over the course of maybe 10-15 years and I can't get away from Android. Everything is so much easier to do and navigate. I feel lately iOS has the more gimmicky features over android when that wasn't usually the case. For work it makes more sense in android for me personally. I'll be buying the S23 Ultra within the next 2 months and I'm so excited for it. Apple needs to really step it up next year. Hopefully they finally get USB-C connector for it's iphone charging/data port 🙄, Maybe then I'll consider it but until then iPhone is not impressing me. As a techy I don't believe most KZbin tech streamers will be more welcome to iOS over Android. Great video and thankful for not mentioning the dynamic island 😂. It's a cute parlor trick to charge people more. Probably boosted iphone 13 pro max sales because of it haha.

[@valismind]

Hahaha, yeah. I feel that though. I am really excited for the future of Samsung, the S23 Ultra is going to be really fun to check out. (Hopefully the S-Pen is here to stay). You're right about iOS feeling morel like a gimmick though, IDK what it is lately about Apple but I feel like they've been somewhat dropping the ball a little bit.

[@ncorvelli]

@@valismind I think what it is with Apple is they have such a hardcore, loyal user base that whatever it is they do most people will buy it and be none the wiser. Android has had this stigma that it's "really complicated to use" and "apple hardware and software is much more polished" some of that is true but only to a fault. Android is closing that gap and Apple is going to have to seriously step it up. A third party developer is making an iMessage for Android app alternative called "Sunbird". It seems to mimic everything iMessage does including sending large, high quality photos and videos just like iMessage along with it's encryption features. iMessage might be the only thing I'm jealous of over Apple. But once they figure out how to integrate that kind of functionality between Android and iOS it's game over for Apple. Beta launches soon for Sunbird. Check it out! Here's my referral link if you wanna see it. Looks really interesting bro. Keep up the good work! sunbirdapp.com/?r=Usg7G

I've been with Apple for sooooo many years . I had the s5 yearsssss ago & other then that I've been with Apple. My iphone just crapped out so I was looking into new phones. It was between the 14 pro max, s22 ultra, or fold 4. I decided against the 22 ultra since the new one is coming in a couple months and I couldn't wait. So I did some research on the 14PM and Fold 4. Honestly, I was scared to take the jump considering my watch would be useless and having the integration with my MacBook was just easy for me. But in the end I took the dive over to the Fold & I have zero regrets. I absolutely love it. I learn new things about the phone daily. It's fun to research and see the wide array of features. The customization abilities alone make the phone a million times better for me. I see everyone complaining about the battery and it just doesn't bother me. I'm so happy with my choice. & I'm just going to sell the apple watch and switch to the galaxy .

Interesting video. I had the 14 Pro Max and the Watch Ultra. Also the MacBook Pro. Prefer the integration of Windows to the S22 compared to the integration of the 14 Pro Max and MacBook.

[@Deathst2r]

Your Video was Perfect Bro, it Genuine and Honest. Exactly my Thoughts and Feelings on the Samsung Galaxy Z Folds and the iPhone 14 Pro Max. I used to own both the Original Fold and the Fold 2, both when they came out. I traded in my Original Fold for the Fold 2 and held on to my 2 until it was stolen back in October of last Year. Yet I refused to upgrade though, cause I didn’t see any point. Samsung was only offering a New Wacom Digitizer and a few Tweaks here and there, with a S Pen you had to buy separately. After my Fold 2 was stolen, I decided to give Apple a chance for Once. To get back at Samsung for not giving up a True Upgrade (like Samsung really pays that much Attention to me, Right…yet they do). Anyways, I now own a Apple iPhone 14 Pro Max, I don’t hate it, it’s just not a Fold. So I know I’m going to get the Fold 5 when it come out this Year. I’ma invest in Samsung Care+ w/Theft and Loss Protection this Time around. My iPhone experience is just what I argue that it would be, Apple in my Opinion only really has their iMessage over Android. Samsung Ecosystem Existed far longer than Apple, than Apple Users want to Admit. With Apple, just speaking on Apple Products forwards Apple Ecosystem. You only have a Watch, Phone, iPad, iPod, Mac and Apple Pay. Yes, is integrated into a lot of non Apple Products. Yet on the other Hand Samsung has all that, a gang of Appliances, TVs and so non Samsung Products. So who really has the Biggest Ecosystem System. What grabs me with Samsung or Android, you’re not Tied into Paying Extra Fees for using Android or Samsung Products. You are with Apple. Oh for anyone New to Apple, you don’t have to Link Apple to your Account. When the Software as you to Link to Apple Account, just say No. Especially if you an Mobile Gamer, coming from Android, you’ll be better off Linking your Games to your Gmail or facebook Account. Your Password to either the Apple Password Locker or Google Chrome. So you come out with a better Experience in my Opinion with Android, with either Samsung, Sony, Google and at one point of Time LG (I know they no longer make Phones). Google Ecosystem is still Growing and Sony is rebuilding their, yet they Exist. I’m not trying to pull anyone to the Android or iOS, just saying know your Tech. Don’t say you a Fan of a Tech Company and don’t know what all they have to offer. That what made me say Sony rebuilding their, cause most people don’t even know about Sony for Real. Only know about Sony PlayStation and maybe their Sony TVs. Some never even heard of Sony Phones, the Sony Xperias or that Sony used to have a Sony Watch, Sony Xperia Tablets and Laptops. Sony still make Phones, they gave up their Watch, Tablet and Laptop cause no one was buying them. Cause of Sony Bad Advertising Practiced, they only really advertise the PlayStation. Sony would’ve still been my Number One Ecosystem, if they didn’t get rid of those Three Products. Sony would killed the game even if they would’ve advertised the PlayStation Vita better, you have people who never heard of it. They allow with the PlayStation, Sony Appliances and Android Integration into non Sony Products. Remote Play in almost every Sony Xperia, Imagine if Sony made a Fold👀. Back to my Point, after being a Android from the beginning from A Flip to a Slab Android to The Galaxy S Line to the Note Line, to the Sony Xperia, back to Samsung for the Fold and now the Apple iPhone. I can personally say, I had a better experience on Android. I just refuse to buy either the Fold 3 or 4 and rather wait for the Fold 5. I’ll keep my iPhone for my Apple Family User, I’ll just have the Joy of Both Worlds. For the record I used Apple Products, I only never used their Phones, cause Apple still be selling Lies and have people thinking they’re the First to have a Touch Screen Phone. As if HTC and Palm wasn’t already in the Business of making Touchscreen Tech and Phones already. But that’s a Story I hope to share on KZbin myself, when I decide to Stream and make Videos. Open up Apple Users Eyes a Little. I Love my iPhone 14 Pro Max, I can’t wait for the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 though. 👀

Switched to iOS from Android last year. 13 Pro Max user and now a Z fold 4 user as well. I can't say either one is the best. But if I have to pick 1, I will go for the Fold 4. Maybe I am just comfortable with Android as their features suits me alot. Partially been always having to always use the Exynos version of Samsung. I always have to drop into Samsung service centre to have the motherboard replace. It's this hassle that made me use iPhone and been using it more than a year, I can say it's going strong.

[@valismind]

Yeah, I feel so bad for the people who've had to experience Exynos vs. Snapdragon. It's such a night and day difference, and I'm not sure why Samsung even does this. I am glad they unified it with the Fold. I am sure it would have been a nightmare, and the phone would have had such a bad rep otherwise. - I can agree, I am more partial to the Fold, but I am okay with the iPhone as well.

[@SnIpErX07]

Yes, I am not sure why Samsung was doing that(priced even higher in my region btw compared to the snapdragon), but I am thankful it’s Snapdragon now moving forward. The only time we international customers can experience a Snapdragon Samsung was the S20FE which both my parents were using since launch. They are really happy with their devices. S10 Lite was a snapdragon as well but it was not available at my region. Hopefully my experience with Samsung will change. P.S loved your content and great comparison between both platform, it will definitely help us to make a decision if we need to pick one. Overall, no fanboynism, just whatever suit your needs!

I definitely agree! I just switched to a Samsung fold phone from an iPhone SE and now realize that Apple iPhone users have a herd mentality. Instead of actually looking at what you’re getting, you just automatically go for the upgrade which is more and more expensive for very little. I would ask, ‘so what does this new iPhone have?’ and all the time it was ‘ahhhh the camera!’ nothing much else. With Samsung, you get way more. Personally, I think once Steve Jobs died, a bunch of unoriginals took over the company and just cough up the same phone each year.

The iphone really has a great screen, also better than the fold. Both phones are so awesome, well im just hoping apple will release a fold at some time. Right now im keeping both phones, but if i really need to choose, i think i will keep the iphone 14 pro.

[@chrisreese2965]

I have a z fold 3. I don't like it. I did love it. I dropped it, cracked the outter screen. That's okay, that was my fault. But what isn't my fault is the inner screen. The screen protector started to lift where the phone folds. One day, I unfolded it, and I heard a snap, and then I got a black bar down the middle of my screen. From that day on, I realized that inner screen still has a long ways to go, and THAT is real world use. I might own another foldable at some point down the road. I have never owned an iPhone, and typically I steer clear from the Apple brand because I hate how they like to control their products. BUT, I thought let's do something different. So I think I'm going to try the iPhone 14 Pro Max. Then at least, I can develop my opinion on either OSs.

[@439530]

[@kind2de]

Good Point, why do people complain about the more narrow cover display when it's easier for one-handed navigation? I'm thinking, it's because most tech reviewers including Flossy, are actually iPhone users, and they use two hands for texting, which I never use two hands to text and navigate my Samsung phone.

[@valismind]

I'm not sure, I think the narrow display makes the experience better given how thick it is. It would be very unwieldy if it was any wider.

[@Dee-504]

I'm 6'3 and honestly, I like the front screen as well. It's easier to use with one hand. If I want to use 2, I'll open it up to tab mode.

[@Drewsterman777]

Buyer beware! I had my Fold 4 for about 2 months and the crease for the folding portion broke and cracked straight down the middle. Samsung WILL NOT honor their warranty on this. If you don't have insurance through your carrier or Samsung Care+ then you're screwed. I did nothing to cause the screen to break.

Using a fold for a month now... fold is really superior than any slab phone or Iphone... samsung One ui makes it easier to use and customise for myself even though android is another game than Ios.. but Foldable device is innovative and futuristic feel like... watching youtube is like a cinema in hand...also iphone cant do a split screen which ridiculously worse in 2022... split screen is my favourite feature in fold... also portrait video mode is better than Iphone's cinematic video...i have used iphoje for years since 2016 but now owning z fold2 which is far superior than any iphone.. i love this device and the tech behind foldable phone.. also foldable is more classy and eye catching than any iphone.. ❤️

I agree. The Fold does not have much competition, though plainly put it's not for everyone, and I can see why most people may not want to buy one. - However, if people were willing to try it out, I am sure they would love it it's honestly VERY good.

I RETURNED MY Z FOLD 4 FOR AN IPHONE 14 PRO MAX. here why. i always saw these android guys talking crap and never had anything to say back since i didnt know what the experience on android was like in the past few years. I can now say that it is abysmal and one of the most frustrating phones ever. i could talk for hours but heres some things. YOU STILL CAN NOT SEND AND RECEIVE VIDEOS PROPERLY IN 2023. unless the other person has mms every single video even if its one second long with look terrible receiving and sending or youll get a message “this video is too big lets SHORTEN IT and LOWER THE QUALITY” my provider told me to USE FACEBOOK MESSENGER on an almost 2 thousand dollar phone and $500 monthly bill. EXCUSE ME? also the cameras are soooo bad on anything thats not the samsung camera app (yeah they havnt fixed that, so embarrassing for yourself and i woukd hope samsung) and still it kinda looks awful in the app. THE PHONE LAGS DOING BASIC TASKS AND ITS ALMOST TWICE THE PRICE AS AN IPHONE. Maps open and nothing else, it lagged sometimes and froze CAUSING ME TO MISS MY EXIT, tik tok freezes glitches all the time and the aspect ratio is fricked up in every app so theres tons of glitches with that. the face id is useless it just doesnt work over half the time. fingerprint good. theres a bug with the software thats been happening for a year apparently where the wifi cuts out for no reason constantly and you have to turn wifi on/off. samsung has no solution i have called. theres work arounds ive found on reddit but never lasted since you have to disable a key feature for it to not bud. IT LAGS ALL THE TIME. Audio and mic and background noise in calls all bad. not good speakers but louder than 14 pro max. text to speech much worse than iphone. it started learning my voice and got better but i never have problems with iphone. the AI is dumb and will type out “period” and obvious things like that not all the time but still wtf. something i thought kinda sucked on iphone is selecting text and and copying but ooooohhh no i ran into multiple bugs just trying to select text and it felt clunky as crap sometimes. gps didnt seem as accurate but thats negligible. screen touches felt not as responsive and often made me doing the same gesture’s multiple times before it understood. all of the gimmick hand gestures are total bs. you still have to slide your whole hand across the screen for a screenshot and it is the most awkward cringe way you could ever think of. could keep going but its 4 am. anyways i returned the fold 4 and thank gosh it was 1900 and the pro max is 1200 with a free ipad from verizon LOL android is still a crap shoot and anyone defending them is a moron. i went through so many hoops transferring to android because i like the fold tech but JEEZ it was a terrible experience and i will never talk crap about apple again probably. SO GLAD THAT PHONE IS OUT OF MY LIFE

broke my Apple ecosystem for first time in years to purchase Galaxy Fold 4 (512gb) vs iphone 14 Pro Max (256gb). still have ipad Pro (2020) + MacBook Pro (2020) hands-on experience at Best Buy made THE difference for me. /bklyn 👑

Will look at the Z Fold 5 next year assuming they have a wider outer wider display with stylus support, better cameras and better battery life. 1800 dollars is a lot of money and being the most expensive flagship from Samsung it needs to have the best hardware and specs period.

[@valismind]

I respect that! Nothing wrong with wanting more, especially when paying more! I don't know if Samsungs form factor will change much to be honest, but there are going to be a lot more foldable coming to North America soon!

[@steve9348]

Don’t worry the pixel fold will come out may and should have a stylus built in supposedly

[@DnaHelacraze]

I think that's fair. I recently switched from the pixel 6 pro to the Z fold 4 and the only major thing i'd change is for the S pen to be built in. Otherwise it's perfect, it's been a while since I've enjoyed a phone this much. The cameras and battery life are surprisingly good (as long as you use a healthy mix of the small and large screen). The outer screen size could be like 0.1 inches wider, but I'd be annoyed if they made it like a standard phablet smartphone because why even bother having a folding phone then. The beauty of it is being able to comfortably use it with 1 hand, then folding it open to use the large screen with 2 hands.

[@RagingBad]

You sound like a brat trying to nick pick, it already have S Pen support if you didn't knew it, cameras are fine, it has top of the line specs, if you want a wider phone get a regular one, this is a foldable, battery could and should be better, all that criticism and you probably can't afford it

The Z Fold 4 is a pretty cool phone but for the price, I just can't get over the feeling of the screen crease. The Z Fold 5 plans to use a new, raindrop like, hinge design that will have a similar screen experience like the Xiaomi Mix Fold 2 and still be water and dust resistant. We'll see how it turns out but foldables are something that I'm holding off a few more years.

Not having an iPhone in years I am just shocked how far behind it is in the software, I mean honestly the only thing it has is the message app and to be completely honest it is not as good as ever iPhone person makes it out to be. I can’t even text my wife in her office because it only can text over Wi-Fi to other iPhones, really? And don’t even get me started on the keyboard, it is stuck in 2008. The screen looks washed out all the time. But the worst part about this phone witch is the one thing I can’t get over and will make me go back is the display, it literally feels like I am typing on plastic like a cheap SE or a old phone from 10 years ago my fold 4s display feels more like glass and it folds in half then this display. Now to the people that still haven’t had one in a while. Did you know that Reddit has a loading symbol? I didn’t, I have never seen loading symbols on any of my Samsung phones not like this anyway S series or Z series . Yeah the Reddit app has a loading symbol that looks like planets.

Its when more advanced tasks come into play that apple gets annoyingly limiting like running 2 apps side by side or using the phones file system like a flash drive or safari doesn't load websites properly and you need chrome that isn't reskinned safari or your sick of looking at apps coving the wallpaper but cant move them cause you cant find anything in that terrible "app library".. it's a very hard decision if you can only pick one.
