It's been almost 3 months since I got the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5. I've been really surprised, mainly because I didn't expect a huge upgrade from the Fold 4. But there's been quite a few 'quality of life' upgrades we got here!

Well, now that dust has settled, with Apple and Google having launched their 2023 smartphones… and some of the competitors entering the foldable market… It’s time we get serious again. Enough of the iPhone 15 Pro Max and Google Pixle 8 Pro (for now 🤣) Time to go back to one o fmy favourite devices ever, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5.

Thanks you so much for taking some time to appreciate this beauty with me. Now that the dust has settled a bit, I am finding myself reaching for the Fold 5 again, as my go-to entertainment and work device. Still using the S23U mostly as my main SIM card is in it and my banking apps, etc. but the Fold 5 is getting more and more used now, and I still love it just like I did when I first got it.

As an artist, the Fold 5 is a win for me. It's the Fold that comes with a samsung pen and it is descent for drawing compared to the older note pens and smaller screens. I also like the slim folded feature because it looks sexy and easy to use with 1 hand. It's the most premium looking phone I ever owned. I bought a slim case with hinge pen slot. Attached a magsafe ring and a sinjimoru magsafe wallet that comes with a handle that can be a stand. Holds 5 cards and some cash. 👌

[@nialli2000]

Great call on the integrated s pen. I miss that so much from all the notes I have had. The first foldable to integrate a stylus gets my money!

[@AlexGTech]

Right? I sometimes lose the S23 Ultra pen even though it has a damn hole for it 🤣 so yeah, an S-Pen integrated would be 100% an immediate purchase

I always wanted to write on the Fold 4 but the s pen is just sadly not nearby. I'm going to trade my Fold 4 for a new Fold with integrated s pen.

[@CrunchyTire]

no its a bad call from a reviewer who doesn't main this phone. We dont need the phone any thicker, which will have to be in order to make space inside the phone. So annoying hearing people who dont use the phone long term tell you what it needs. Im sure the front screen needs to be wider too right???? 🤡

I've had the Fold 5 since launch, Great piece of Tech. Surprizingly I use the front screen more for now, but in a waiting room or on a plane I use the large screen and it is a treat. I tend to hold on to phones for awhile, and at this price, I'll keep it for a while. Battery has been great too.

[@AlexGTech]

I find myself using the front screen on the ZF5 a lot more than the ZF4. It does feel more responsive I think. The real estate on the display is insane. Even with the crop it’s still way bigger than most flagships

[@JPT90]

3 weeks into my Galaxy Fold 5 and it has replaced a lot of my time on my PC. Getting older I feel like I'm gaming less and prefer watching content or listen to podcasts/audiobooks. I used to be really heavy into gaming on my PC with my most recent rig being built in 2020 (5900x and a Strix 3080OC bought on launch). The Galaxy Fold 5 100% satisfies my content consumption (KZbin, Reddit, Tidal, etc) and work related usage (e.g. Outlook and Teams). Crazy thing is that I bought the 1tb version at around $1300 AUD (~$800-900 USD) from the official Australian Samsung online store.

[@johna8999]

I love my Fold 5! It's the most advanced and polished piece of tech I've owned in over 35+ years of tech purchases. Samsung are truly pioneers in this field. Apple may come out with an improved product much like Oneplus/Oppo have, but none of them can claim Samsungs innovation.

[@WinterSoldier0315]

I took my Fold 5 on a cruise to Greece in September, and it was a perfect device to give me just what I needed. I actually am used to and like the form factor when it is closed, and it is perfect size to just take our and take a few quick photos without unfolding it. I love how snappy and responsive the processor is. I sold it when I got back, switched to the Pixel Fold and just returned it today after going back to a new Fold 5 on Friday. Just couldn't get used to the heaviness and clunky/awkward feel in the hand of the Pixel Fold. Plus, I am used to portrait orientation on the inside screen, so landscape just felt...wrong. I think I am going to keep this one for awhile. Just so impressed with it.

[@AlexGTech]

Yes I was excited about the Pixel Fold but I couldnt really let go of the thinner bezels and S-Pen capability. Glad you're having a good time with it now!

[@techwithbenefits]

Narrow form factor is the best! Top review mate 👌

[@andrewc31394]

Solid video. If youre into tech and are coming from a slab phone (especially Android), grab the Fold 5. I can never go back to a regular phone at this point and this thing is a game changer coming from my old Pixel 6.

[@AlexGTech]

Thank you! Yes, it’s hard to let go of the Fold now, such a pleasing device to use

[@CrunchyTire]

I just returned mine. Everyone says if you own a fold 3 its a big upgrade going to 5. I think they're wrong. Mainly because of the aspect ratio change on the main screen. Samsung listened to the tech reviewers who use the phone for a week and then dump it, about the front screen being too narrow. For real users the front screen is amazing for one handed use. As a result of making it wider, the inner screen is now a square. Side by side with the 3, my 3's display is BIGGER for video content, and the black bars are smaller because of the aspect ratio. Whats odd though is when I turned both screens up to 100% brightness, my folds 3 screen was brighter playing the same content. Makes no sense since they increased the nits on the 5. The 5 was lighter and felt better in the pocket, and way faster for 3d gaming benchmarks (like 2x the score, pretty amazing), better battery life, but I get the fold to have the biggest screen possible and making it smaller is a bad move imo. Even with my $1000 trade in of the 3, and an extra 5% off, its not worth the upgrade. I give this phone a 5/10 for samsung listening to crying reviewers who dont main the phone, rather than real users that loved the thin screen and aspect ratio of the main screen. I hope they make a better one in the future. Or I'll keep the 3 until it breaks.

[@AlexGTech]

Oh no! that’s a shame it didn’t work out for you. I quite like the aspect ratio and the fact it’s bigger than all flagships out there, even with the crop. I actually used the Fold 4 exclusively for a few months and can see me doing the same with the ZF5 now that the dust is settling. The S23U is still my main device but I am gradually using the Fold more and more. You make a great point on pricing though, it still a steep price. I honestly love the screen as it is right now, and I do hope Samsung like you said, don’t listen to most tech reviewers asking for a bigger front screen. That is the key selling point on it for me, how easy it is to use in comparison with the bigger foldables

[@emanuelneiconi]

I love my Fold 5. Oddly enough, the OnePlus Open made me like it and enjoy it even more. I do welcome the competition and hope it lights a fire under Sammy. Make outside slightly wider, integrate the pen, and it would be perfect. Cameras - would be nice to upgrade but honestly for most of us, they are more than great and capable. Not once did I wish I still had my old slab with technically better spec'd cameras. Like you, I'm not sure I can return to a slab - which is weird. Using my wife's 12 PM feels strange and bulky. Love the form factor. And I say, Apple, leave us alone. LOL. 🐔

[@AlexGTech]

same here, I think competition is good, as it pushes everyone forward. And agreed on cameras, these are so good! I do use my S23U a lot still, as my main SIM is in it and I have my banking, authenticators, etc. but when it comes to chilling or getting stuff done for work, its the Fold I reach for

[@thourtentertainment1286]

[@thomasdurr5586]

Thanks Alex, glad to see that at least a few of the youtubers take care of the Z Fold 5 in a objectiv way. I observed the last months the reviews, previews etc. about the Z Fold 5, Pixel Fold or OnePlus Open and the chinese devices. First the Z Fold line was the darling of more or less all of them. Then comes the Pixel Fold and the everybody talks about the device. The biggest point was the wider front display (much better than the Z Fold and so on). A ton of users said, that there are using most of the time the front display! So why they buy a Folding phone? And where is the pen support for Pixel Fold? And the price? I expected more from Google after they had at least 5 years to learn from Samsung. Then the OnePlus Open. No wireless charging, you can limited use the Oppo Pen, the bulky camera at the back and so on. And honestly, the camera of the Z Fold 5 is really great. You only have to know how to use! By the way the magic app ist EXPERT RAW from Samsung. So to come to an end, in my opignion the crown for the best working-horse-ultimedia-productivity-device goes to the Z Fold 5. The others where great devices too, no doubt but for me there is only the Z Fold. By the way, I tried the OnePlus Open and the Pixel Fold and after every change I was happy to come back to my beloved Z Fold.

[@aljosacebokli]

Folding phones are really not for everyone. I usually switch my phone once a year, just because I have an interest in tech and gadgets, and for the longest time I thought that the only reason barring me from purchasing a foldable was its price. So, when I finally decided I'll spend my money on the zfold 5, I decided to go and check it out live to a Samsung store. After about half an hour of playing with it, the experience was not at all what I had expected. I realised then and there that I'm better sticking with a normal phone and ordered a pixel 8 Pro instead. I'm actually not at all surprised that these haven't been sold in greater numbers, add the price to that and well there you have it.

[@AlexGTech]

You nailed it. I was actually on the same boat a few years back and didn't buy them, mostly because of the price. I think they were two grand back then. Definitely still in the "enthusiast" arena. But I am convinced that the minute Apple makes one, foldables will be the best thing since sliced bread. Maybe they're waiting for that display tech to evolve a bit more, I have to say, the crease will be a massive showstopper still for a lot of people. For me, I do use its features so the display shortcomings don't bother me too much.

Love this phone. I'm one of those change my phone at least once or twice a year to different flagship phones and they are all great be it IOS or Android but this phone has really blown me away. I got it not really knowing how or even if a foldable phone would be what I want but I would never go back to a regular phone now. It's not just the form factor, it's the way Samsung allows you to use it so easily. I have a very specific niche for my job were I have to photograph documents many times a day and edit them and you would not believe what a terrible job most flagship phones make of doing this task. The Pixel 8 pro was the worst but this phone takes the best photos of documents that I have ever used by a country mile. It's a niche thing to want your phone to do but the camera quality and ease of editing in a large screen is just unbeatable for me. It also impresses the socks of everybody that sees it. Lol.

🦋. Current iPhone user and previous Samsung user for many years. If Apple came out with a foldable, it would definitely give Samsung a run for its money. Even still, Samsung might have the edge with the software. Apple seems show up late but when they do, they change the game. To each its own. I have tried out the ZF5 in the store. I like the phone but only drawback from me pulling the trigger is the narrower outer display and the noticeable crease. I'm sure I could get used to it over time with both but eager to see if the ZF6 fixes these issues and has a similar body style of the S24 Ultra.

Estes não possuem uma SPen e com certeza em termos de sistema Android acredito que a Samsung esteja na frente, porém por hardware a Samsung parece estar perdendo o posto de inovação. Essas notícias informando que vão voltar a usar Exynos em seus aparelhos eu acho um retrocesso. Seria legal se você conseguisse fazer um comparativo destes dobráveis. Valeu !!

[@AlexGTech]

Obrigado!! É verdade, a competição não está parada mesmo…Espero que o ZF6 traga bons upgrades! Abraços

[@AlexGTech]

Difícil adquirir eles aqui na Inglaterra, mas alguns estão disponíveis, vou considerar sim!

I’m an iPhone user, but honestly, iPhones are irrelevant I feel. They just can’t compete with a powerhouse in the lights of a Samsung or Google multitasking capabilities and more. What Apple has, is its brand name to hold it together. If Apple ever releases a foldable phone, those very people that bullied me and others for saying foldables are a great alternative, those will be the very 1sr ones ordering and than have the nerve to call it revolutionary. I wish Apple was less narrow minded and more friendly as an industry with other companies, they just don’t play well with others flat out. Great video Alex👍

[@AlexGTech]

Thank you! I agree, it's sad but true, Apple has a lot of branding power and they would indeed change this category. Maybe they're just waiting for the right time to 'invent' foldables 🤣

[@kenya8716]

What made you leave the Fold 4? Are there major differences?

[@AlexGTech]

I was worried about that myself ,and in my videos I actually don’t recommend an upgrade from the Fold 4. I honestly don’t think it’s worth paying more from the Fold 4 to Fold 5. But if you can get a decent deal in a few months, it may make sense. I was sad to see my Fold 4 sell for $700, when I paid $1700 less than a year prior…

wow! Yes, it's such a powerful device. I like the 13 Pro too, probably the best value for money iPhone and no dynamic Island. Wish I kept mine 🤣

[@leetronix]

🐔 pffft cr🍏pple 🤷 soo.... Hey Alex, great intro song 🎵 and excellent video as always 👍 I like many others want to see the S pen included in the fold as that would just be the ultimate. The display could be better imo and I agree 💯 for the money the camera needs to be at its best. The Anker products look very good and are useful attractive accessories 👍

[@AlexGTech]

Thanks Lee!! Yeah, Apple are probably just waiting on the sidelines and as soon as the display tech evolves on the foldables, they will "invent" foldable phones, as usual 🤣 Another one coming up tomorrow, with a certain legend appearance 🤞🏼

[@leetronix]

@@AlexGTech ooh! 🤔

[@unknown-jx5yt]

i was going to buy the Fold5 but have instead decided to wait for the S24 Ultra. why you may ask. well because i like to watch KZbin, movies, and sports a lot on my smart phone and with the aspect ratio on this phone not matching the ratio for nearly every movie and video out there, most of that screen is not going to be used at all. so the screen size is kind of irrelevant.

@@AlexGTech Yeah. I'm pretty sure they will improve and add 10x zoom (as perfect as main lens) one days. I think it will be a future and they call it another way. For me it would be enough to enjoy photography. Have a nice day mate !

[@BLAKEEATS1988]

The only thing that's stopping people from getting a foldable is the screen durability and the price. It's not glass, it's priced high and the cameras are OK. That's why it's a turn off for most people. It folds ok, but what can it do that a slab phone can't besides folding.

[@AlexGTech]

Yes, the price is definitely stil pretty high. I saw that even the latest one, the Open is already showing issues on the screen with dead pixels... But to answer your question, it depends on what slab phone you are talking about. If it's an iPhone for example... quite a lot! The iPhone can only run one app on the screen.

[@BLAKEEATS1988]

@@AlexGTech I have an s23 ultra and until it has 4 cameras at the back and dex I dont think I will be getting a foldable. As you said its already showing dead pixels so to me the foldables are still in beta.

The crease is very much visible on white backgrounds. Huge turn off. Also if the screen is damaged, it’s going to be an expensive unfortunate event

Troll account, better software when it can't do more than 3 apps to multi task. The Taskbar bugs out and will cover the lower part of the screen without adjusting the layout. Has literally the same issues that the OPPO OS has. Lol.

[@joshuabergeman354]

Watching this video on my OnePlus Open. The only thing the OnePlus Open is missing is OneUI 😂 Seriously the OnePlus Open is amazing especially when multitasking. But the best I can say about OxygenOS is that it's fine. It has some cool features but it's definitely not on the same level as OneUI at least for me. At this point I'm just waiting for Samsung to make a Zfold with a wider front screen. 20:9 aspect ratio is what I want from Samsung. Until they do I will be using the OnePlus Open and Samsung's S ultra. Right now that's the S22U but I'm going to be getting the S24U whenever they release it.

[@AlexGTech]

Nice! I am really tempted to get one! And yes, I am looking forward to S24U too 👊🏼

[@rampageashton]

Apple won’t do it as it will cannibalise iPad sales. Same reason why they don’t do a touch screen MacBook.
