WHICH IS BETTER!? Galaxy Z Fold 5 vs S23 Ultra | Crowning the KING 👑

[@CJKnowsTECH]

Are you Team S23 Ultra or Team Z Fold 5? (comment below) Get Samsung Folds: geni.us/BuySamsungFolds Get Samsung S23 Ultra: geni.us/galaxyS23Ultra Get all Galaxy Watches here: geni.us/BuySamsungWatches

[@SRNAR8]

After watching a few videos on this comparison, majority say the Fold 5 is much better to use. Gonna have to go with that.

[@James-tw5vy]

The problem with the z fold is durability it’s screen breaks very easily compare to other smartphones

Samsung plz make z fold/flip6 and s24 red 🍅.

[@ttp_007]

Many Fold users, myself included, complain about the narrow outer screen, and it's frustrating that Samsung continues to ignore this feedback. Even the Google Pixel offers a better, more practical outer display. If Samsung ever decides to listen to its customers and releases a Z Fold with an outer screen the size of the S23 or S24, includes a built-in S Pen, and equips it with the best cameras from their top models, I’d gladly spend $2k and switch back to the Z Fold. Until then, I'll just watch them play their marketing games with an underwhelming outer screen and minimal improvements.

[@areacharlottejukebox]

I'm gonna just say this.....after just getting my fold 5 on Tuesday. Unfolding my device and watching this video after coming from the S22 Ultra was SUPER SATISFYING. I know the camera can't mess with the Ultra, BUUUUUUUUUTTTTT.....it's not like you're getting some camera slouch with the Fold. I feel like if you like the Ultra but you're just ready for something fresh (like me) the Fold 5 is the way to go.

[@svensantesson2020]

That they dont give the 10x lense to the ultra, is something i can understand, but i think they should give it everything else. Laser AF 200MP Better UW

[@22s22a]

Is the Fold 5 camera better than S22 ultra?

[@areacharlottejukebox]

@22s22a it's not better. It's comparable. The zoom is better on the S22 Ultra.

[@22s22a]

@areacharlottejukebox I see, i have S22 ultra and was considering getting Fold 5..havent had fold since Fold 2... If you had to give a percentage, how much of a drop off is the camera from S22 ultra?

[@Dr_KW]

I did the same man and though I miss the form factor of the S22 a lot in some ways, I love the inner screen, pixels over the camera hole. I wish the front screen was wider. But oh well.

[@michaelbarber8388]

If samsung just took the width of the s23 ultra and turned that device into a foldable with the s pen built in....... Game over.

[@CJKnowsTECH]

Right

[@steve9348]

They just need a to make a bit shorter s24 ultra and it’ll be game over .. for people with smaller hands ( and ofcourse keep the standard size one around)

[@harlemknight120]

That's what my brother keeps saying, but imagine 2 S23 width phones together....one it would be huge, and two it would be heavy.

[@SurendraSingh47]

Either you are from future or Samsung just heard you. Check the leakes of fold6 😮

[@julz7771]

I just traded my fold 4 for a pixel 8 pro.. The fold is dope but I got tired of it in every use situations. This slim screen is not always accurate for texting if you have big hands, and opening the phone to larger screen just to do small task gets cumbersome over time. The S23ultra is the overall king.

[@ie6248]

I really wanna get rid of my fold.. for me, the unfolding is a gimmick.. i gave it a try.. dont like the user experience

[@Kingsley_Shat]

I say Samsung should combine these two phones like Godrick the Grafted and have it unfold like a roadmap.

[@SoCal-]

If the Z Fold 5 had the camera system of the S23U, it would be a much better purchase. Spending nearly 2k for a flagship phone needs the flagship camera system.

[@king_rage1]

I think it comes down to personal preference. Do you want a foldable or a candybar that is just as speced out as a PC and S-pen?

[@redringsuxs7990]

Im with Robert on this one. I got both of them. The Ultra is my daily/ going to work, getting it done in style phone. The fold is my after work, days off, and flexin on the bosses at the office meeting. Only problem is its damm near impossible to tell the boss you need a raise when you drop a 2K phone on the table infront of everybody😅 for real though i think my fold has better battery life.

[@JustXavier]

[@leonaj.5835]

Comparing the price of replacement parts for both devices, the S23 Ultra parts are "cheaper" to replace compared to the Z Fold 5, especially the screens. Not only are the Z Fold replacement parts more expensive but Z Fold 5 only has an IPX8 rating while S23 Ultra has IP68. It's financially riskier to buy the Z Fold 5 than the S23 Ultra especially if Samsung Care+ is not available in the region you live in (add to the fact that a lot of repair centers aren't the best in service & the long waiting time). Z Fold 5 is a good indoor/office/ secondary phone but not ideal as your only phone. With the price of the Z Fold 5, I'd rather get the Tab 9 Ultra that comes with the same specs as the S23 Ultra & IP rating, plus it's a big flat screen instead of a folding one with a crease I can't unsee.

[@way2go723]

Not if you take out 2 years warranty for accidental damage and if the phone fails…..cost only £69 for the 2 years from Samsung……Can’t go wrong

[@leonaj.5835]

@way2go723 and after 2 years of Samsung Care+ expires? How much would the cost of repairs be then? Take into account that future models might not have the better specs than the current one, and then the 2nd hand resale or exchange value of the folds is dependent on the demand of buyers, which would be affected by the real repair costs that they would be incurring for the phone as well as the reviews of the users of the fold series in the coming months. The S23 Ultra so far fared better than the Apple 14 Pro max, but the Fold has no "real counterpart" with Apple that would push more people to want to buy it. Other folds are cheaper compared to Samsung so they might feel like they overpay for the Fold.

[@way2go723]

@@leonaj.5835 Two years is a long time and with Samsung you still know you get a great trade in deal when that time comes. Even after that and if I decided to keep the fold5 the repair cost doesn’t bother me as I picked up the Fold5 direct from Samsung for £880!! I would probably trade in for the fold7 by that time so it’s a win win for me

[@StuckTrippin]

​@@leonaj.5835pretty much every other years phone of the same family line has better specs. I think its a little silly to say they wont, tech is constantly innovating and upgrading

[@TheOneInYellow]

Very fair assessment of these two beasts, and it really boils down to what do you want. As you said in your video, do you want familiar, or do you want new? For me, I have always wanted bigger screen for multitasking and entertainment, so despite the camera forfeit on the Z Fold5, even if disappointing (though itself is very good), this was no longer as important as largest screen size in a phone. The Z Fold5 is a dream machine for me, but S23 Ultra is the better at everything and very good multitasking (for a candy bar phone)!

[@dxone31013]

Tried the Fold but returned it. Really was impressed but will wait for the S24U… Just got a S9+ with the Black Friday deals instead 😂. Step by step replacing every bit of my whole Apple ecosystem I was stuck in.

[@mruncuttvlogz]

Why did you return ??

[@ghostface0927]

the s23 ultra having a bigger battery and the fact that it doesn’t use as much power is the main reason why I’m picking it over the fold. And if you order directly from Samsung you can get a Galaxy tab 9 heavily discounted and it comes out to 82 less then the cost of the fold 5. The tab 9 being the superior tablet and the s23 ultra being the superior phone is plenty of reason for me to not even consider the fold. Sure I won’t be able to carry a tablet in my pocket but the fact that I have superior hardware is worth that trade off. Not to mention the tablet and u23 ultra are more durable

[@ahmadhusaini8420]

You get some and you lose some. I'm happy with fold 4. I feel like i have both phone and tablet in my pocket and i think that's a killer point

[@ghostface0927]

@@ahmadhusaini8420 I definitely get that appeal but the fold needs to make 2 changes for me to get one. offer similar durability to bar phone, most importantly dust resistance and a screen that as durable as gorilla glass, I work around a lot of dirt so that’s a critical condition. I would also appreciate if they reshaped it to a more passport shaped design like the pixel fold, I think that would be better because right now the inner screens aspect ratio seems inadequate for watching movies, most of the screen is black bars and if you zoom to fill is crops most of the video. That’s the only thing I thought the pixel fold did better, it’s aspect ratio makes a lot more sense to me then the folds.

[@donaldstanfield3486]

The S23 Ultra with that snapdragon 8 gen 2 and that built in S pen plus longer battery life and that $1200 price tag compared to the $1800 price of the Z Fold 5 makes the S23 Ultra a super smartphone way ahead of it's time.

Well I just ordered a S23 Ultra to replace my Z Fold 4. My Z Fold 4 folding screen broke a month after the 1 year warranty ended! I only opened my Z Fold once or twice a week! The screen only lasted 13 months! I liked the big inner screen but I'm just not a super user that needs it. Samsung did give me $853 trade in towards my S23 Ultra. I will be glad to get my Spen back! I missed it from my Note 20. So DON'T GET A FOLD UNTILL THEY CAN MAKE A FOLDING SCREEN LAST LONGER THAN 13 MONTHS!

[@kansein9294]

How do I know it's will last long or not I am planning to buy fold 6 should I order or not??

[@Nexus_545]

Honestly glad I can't tell the difference between cameras without pixel peeking. Obviously the Fold isn't as wide but I'm not a massive fan of ultra wide shots. Megapixels aren't everything and can even lead to more noise in low light.

[@kimbridge5592]

i have to say the shots on the fold 5 were very good. there is not that much between those photo's if any. the fold 5 looked good. the 23 ultra looks bigger than the fold 5 even when open i know and can see the fold is bigger when opened. but the 23 ultra still has a huge screen.

Why is everyone comparing camera results to S23U when this device (I've been using last 6 months) has very poor performance when it comes to camera. Shutter lag, weird color grading/HDR, bad night mode, poor front camera (except in perfect light conditions), choppy videos, unpredictable results...every single problem from previous Samsung devices is still present !

[@emanuelneiconi]

Great review on both devices. It's like asking - which is better, a truck or a van? While you can crap 6-7 people in a truck, it's a much better experience traveling in a van. While you can load stuff up and haul in a van, doing so in a truck is much better. It all comes down to what you need or want. You can't go wrong with either though. Beast devices...

Reminds me of our Kobe and Iverson Debate. While both are great in their own way, The S23 Ultra with the internal stylus, better battery, better app optimization, better all around cameras is on that Kobe status (proven) while Z Fold 5 is quite capable and has it's advantages, killer crossover, fly braids, cultural icon, sorry we're talking about phones but ultimately, AI and the Fold 5 will always be a close runner up.

For me the s23u takes the cake because I have my s9u with me in my EDC and use it for so many things esp my art and , piano sheet music scores, editing, media consumption. The fold 5 can't replicate that in my use case. But it is nice if you don't main a tablet.

[@redstang70]

I go back and forth between both, why limit yourself? Ive been a note user since the Note 2 so can't give up my Spen and those S23 ultra Cameras.... but that huge screen is just awesome and being able to just fold and unfold just never gets old. Have to have both pretty much i cant just choose one.

[@TIMINGX2]

I picked up the fold for very cheap, paid 900 buxxl cad, under warranty. I couldn't resist the price. Coming from Note 10+ i wanted something fresh and new and different.

[@MOTANU_OFFICIAL]

I don't know how not anybody is bothered by the chromatic abberation that these oled weird arrangement panels gives. For example compare to the panel that Xiaomi Mi 11 has or the Pixel 8 Pro provides, it's extremely clean display, with no color shifting around the the stuff displayed on screen, and if you don't see it, get closer to the phone, that chromatic abberation kinda like effect it's there and you can see it even from normal distances.

[@TheRealYeller]

I can understand how most wouldn't like the new slim s pen, and I thought I woudn't like it either, until I got it in my hands for myself because I had to borrow it from my Mom while at work. (She got the fold 5 upgrading from the Note 20 Ultra and says she doesn't even MISS the Note 20 Ultra, that the Fold emodies the Note even BETTER. I have the Fold 3 and have had it for about a year and a half with no significant issues. I won't even go back to a "normal" slab phone.) When I got the new s pen in my hands it felt like it fit PERFECT in my hands. No rolling it around or adjusting it every few penstrokes. It actually felt smoother on my Fold 3 screen than the regular Fold s pen. Just my opinion though, as I DO realise there are people out there with normal and even large hands, as opposed to my small hands.

The S23 Ultra does not have a better display. PPI doesnt matter beyond a certain point, and having what is a 2k monitor essentially in the Fold 5 that's sub 8 inches, it'd literally make no difference if they got it up to 3k or 4k resolution. We all know this with laptops, nobody demands that a 13 inch laptop or smaller be anything beyond 1440p. So it boggles my mind that we'd consider the need for it when well below 10 inches. Lastly, the brightness on the Fold is actually more impressive, since the bigger a display is, the rarer peak brightness is (for example, no modern OLED TV has brightness that compares to smart phones right now due to energy issues).

Great summary - based on watching your footage on my Fold 5, other than the framing it's hard to see which takes the better shot so unless you are printing or viewing on massive panels... it's really hard for most of us to pick. Probably a bigger question is which of the s23 models is the most popular and how does the z fold 5 compare to that Very few of the people I know with s22 and s23's have the ultra model.

If you had an old phone like a S9+ (yea i know ancient) which phone is the most future proof?

So what would you grab? A new iPhone, S23U, ZFold5 or wait for the S24U and ZFold6? It's just a constant waiting game.

S23 for me. Fold too fragile. Also outa screen too small. Too heavy and bulky.

[@7KingCobra7]

New thin spen and case Is really sick actually, got it today

[@Dts-r6y]

The only thing that is keeping me from switching to Sony is the Galaxy store in the themes I think it's really cool why don't they put that on their tablets

[@gutzu265]

I went with the ultra. Cant trust myself not to break the folding screen 😅

[@amyebranly7399]

I'm new to your channel and love your videos! You are so knowledgeable and have great energy! Thanks for doing these reviews

[@mrlukeisspeaking4391]

It was always me vs. me. It was never me vs. you!!

[@NathanBiskop]

Looking at upgrades at the moment, if the Z Fold 5 had the same 200 MP camera, I'd be sold, as I've wanted a tablet for a while too.

[@christopherpaul6062]

Such a great professionally done review 🎉.

[@OneDrunkenLizard]

I hardly use my Spen on the s23 Ultra because it scuffs up the screen.

[@chankongsun]

subzero temperatures in Canada will be no go. I mean colder then -20C.

[@seguntoyin5720]

Great video Please what can I check buying used Samsung fold 4

[@rydog920]

I got both. M Love the z fold 5

[@skywatchers915]

Can you change the screen protector on the galaxy z fold because I don't know anyone that can let me know

[@knarfex]

Tbh, for me the fold won the Camera test.

[@Edgar931993]

Man this is so hard for me because I have the ultra but really want the fold

[@syn3rgyzesty180]

just take into account if youre really gonna use the features the fold offers and also the thinks youll miss from the ultra. I have the fold 5 and realized i didnt use the tablert mode to much and the camera is not bad but the ultra is way better

[@Edgar931993]

@@syn3rgyzesty180 Yeah I put those into account and will probably hold off. I personally love the innovation but I can also wait until it gets a bit better. Despite that the fold just came out, Ill just wait until the camera gets better battery life and also its dust resistant.

[@dhaferkoheji3572]

Great review bro, brief, to the point and covered all aspects of what one looks for when considering buying a phone. While the S 23 shines with top spec, l am charmed by the fold 5 with it's versatile two in one functionality.

[@darrellanthonyalvarez4154]

That review sir is so solid! I am a S23 Ultra user and thinking to shift to the foldable scene. Your explanation made me realize that Im already using the best phone for my needs. Thanks sir. I’ll wait out for more Foldable options.

[@juliojuarez466]

Im switching from a zfold3 to a s23 ultra in the next few days , will it be worth it?

[@frankr2584]

Man that front screen of the fold is so damn skinny. I know it opens up, i just wish it was the same size front as the ultra. Then it would be a no brainer

[@harlemknight120]

S23 Ultra is King. 👑 The cameras are far more superior, and not available on the Fold 5.

[@lifewithbreion1392]

Wait.. you pay all that money just for a camera?.. just buy a camera.. the fold brings way more value and the s23 photos aren't that much better.. it even lost a couple contests... it's your money lol

[@KevinFuggi]

Unless they put the flash ship camera and match the battery size on the fold, I’m going to have to pass. I would expect less battery life due to the screens, but I’d rather have the camera too tbh. If I need a larger screen than the already huge Ultra screen, I’m just going to bring an iPad Pro or Galaxy Tab. If I didn’t have a tablet and didn’t care about having the best possible camera quality, then I would go for the fold. Otherwise I’m going to stick to the Ultra Phone paired with a tablet if I really need that larger screen.

[@donniethesportsguy893]

GZF5 is not a traditional phone more of pocketable tablet for entertainment stuff on the go with a secondary line. Thats what i use it for. S23U is my main phone.

[@christopherpaul6062]

Great job 🎉❤

[@benaking2782]

Fold 5 is not far off, you could barely tell a difference between the cameras.. This made me more confident about my Fold 5 purchase.

[@CJKnowsTECH]

I'll admit I was impressed with the Fold 5's camera processing

[@benaking2782]

I preciate your expertise brother!

[@go0ot]

Ultra curved glass means dropping it will crack screen

[@TheMrcadillac310]

Honestly that Zfold 5 pictures looked better to me🤷🏾‍♂️

[@CJKnowsTECH]

The Z Fold 5 impressed me when I looked back at the results

[@M5_Sonu]

The one feature I wish the S23U got..is that taskbar!! Absolutely genius for extremely quick multitasking!

[@AquaStevae]

What do you think the side panels are?????????????????????????????????????????????
