S23 Ultra vs Z Fold 4: Choose Wisely!

[@geekatari4391]

I work with excel and PDF forms and the Fold 4 to me is just almost the perfect smartphone. My experience is boosted when I open it to work on my spreadsheets. Reading books is also great. I am not trading it for a slab phone again, if the Fold 5 does not deliver any significant upgrades, I'll wait for the 6. This device, to me, is fantastic.

[@youtubeitisisntit7333]

ipad mini 6 5G may be cheaper option (although a bit bulky)? Was wondering if you tried ipad mini 6?

[@DogGuy19]

Thanks Verizon, they gave me a 12.5 inch tablet ( and watch) with my S23 ultra. My phone is my phone & my tablet is my tablet.

[@Freak80MC]

@@DogGuy19 That's great and all, but some people like the convenience of one device for everything and will gladly pay a bit extra for that experience. It can be annoying to switch from one device to another when you use both a lot, and also if you don't carry both devices at once, you may end up in situations where you forget one or the other when you most need it.

[@geekatari4391]

@soofiatham7130 I've thought about that; but the trade-in let me down. I'll wait for the S24 ultra, maybe by then there will be rumors of the Fold 6 that could make me want to wait for it instead.

[@xxprouaexx]

i got s23 ultra and sold it and bought again Fold 4 alongside my iphone 14 pro max so S23 ultra is a good phone with great cameras but in my opinion cameras on smartphones reached a point where a human eye can see the difference anymore zooming and other features are great on s23 ultra also nightography is amazing but the camera on fold 4 is more than enough and the fold 4 is so enjoyable on bed watching netflix or youtube cant wait for Z FOLD 5

[@petepaxton5109]

I took advantage of awesome deals I got on the Z Fold 4 and the Surface Duo. I go back and forth between the two. I absolutely love them both for different reasons but they are easily the best two devices I've ever had and I've had many. I just can't see myself going back to a typical bar style phone.

[@benBergma]

Have the s23 ultra for 2 weeks, but I going to change for the z fold 4. The front screen for me is good for small hands like me. I can use 1 hand mode. And boy, everytime I open the z fold 3, its a head turner. 🤣 I dont use the camera so much. The z fold is more confortable and kinda sexy lookong phone. The s23U is definitely a beast, but since experiencing folds, i definitely not going to normal kind of phone again.

[@TechOdyssey]

S23 Ultra is available now! Buy it here. shop-links.co/ci2GWf5Ekp1 (affiliate)

[@HSHIN19]

I went from the s22U to the fold 4. Pros: uniqueness of having a phablet. The front screen is big enough for one hand. The cool cam features such as selfie mode using the front screen preview/back cameras mode. Cons: some apps are not optimized for the big screen. Cameras aren't the best of what Samsung offers. Cases for fold 4 are horrible. I love my fold since it's so unique. I've had so many ppl turn their heads or be fascinated by my phone.

[@Dantastic123]

I'm also in the group of people trading my Fold 4 for an S23U. I actually really love the Fold 4. My issues were battery life, charge speed, camera quality, and durability. 1) There are certain days that I'm a heavy user and had to charge my Fold twice during the day, and on top of that, it didn't charge very fast compared to the S23U. 2) Also, the camera quality is awful on the Fold 4 for the type of photos I was taking. My son was in a band concert and the pictures on my Fold were so bad that I didn't even keep them, I deleted them. You could barely tell which one was my son. My wife's S22 pictures looked almost professional in comparison. I also went to a Cirque du Soleil performance a few weeks ago and couldn't take any pictures, they looked terrible! I deleted them all too. Wasn't worth sharing with anyone. Maybe in close up, well lit scenarios, it's more acceptable, but not for the type of pictures I'm most likely to take. 3) And durability-wise, the hinge creaks like crazy every time I open it. The screen never seems to open all the way either, like maybe 175° instead of 180°. And 1 time, my wife placed the TV remote on the edge of my phone, and it actually put a simple on the inside frame. 4) Also, I really wish the Fold held the s-pen inside. It was such a hassle to carry separate that I never actually took it with me.

[@adamski101]

It was the durability issue that made me swap back to a regular candybar phone. My Z Fold 4 front screen clicks when I type on it because the frame of the phone has a tiny bit of play in it from opening and closing over these last 10 months. So that bugs me. Then I'm always wondering if the big screen is going to crack down the middle when I open it up. If not this time then maybe next time! Other than that it's a great phone and does everything well. It's just the durability that has a huge question mark hanging over it. Will the phone last the length of a 3 year contract? I'm not at all convinced.

[@daveG1972]

I had the fold 4 and loved it but swapped it for the 23 ultra after about a month. Texting on both screens was difficult, it was heavy, and I was constantly worried about damaging it. I preferred the larger s pen and using it on the larger screen. I miss it but a galaxy tab might be more practical for me.

[@gilbertgk]

This literally the main reason I switched from fold 3 to S23U is for the typing experience. I had the Fold 3 since launch and it's been inconsistent in app department and not a practical device. Sure it's a productive device. S23U on the other hand is a consistent productive and a practical device

[@HorizunTheAlien]

Use Microsoft swiftkey. Significantly better than stock keyboard and the swype feature is so good on it I use it as my normal texting experience. Fold or non folds.

[@L3AF]

just order a 23 Ultra to, swapping from Fold 4. i agree 100% with all things u said. it would be better to buy the S23 ultra then get a cheap Tablet to get the feature of bigger screen at home

[@New_life61]

I traded my fold4 that I've had since last August, at first I thought the fold was the best device I ever had, but after a few months I noticed i rarely used the the big soft screen and I got very tired of the narrow outside screen. Since getting this 23 ultra, I know I'll never go back to folding, I love everything about this 23 ultra, the big screen and battery is amazing:)

[@pavichokche]

I tried the Flip 4 and it wasn't for me. The freaking thing LOCKED every time I closed it, and there was no way to turn it off. So instead of having the convenience of the phone turn on every time I open it, it became a nuisance of a phone I need to unlock every time I open it. I returned it next day.

[@AsteroidPlease]

I figure this was the case, I think most people who have gotten the fold will eventually want to go back to the "normal" ones at some point in time. Having a big enough screen like the ultra without having to flip something open is just more convenient.

[@cheekothechiweenie]

My thoughts exactly!

[@noahrothschildlmft5105]

Majority with Fold 4 will never go back, only forward to Fold 5. Fold is hands down the best device. Nothing beats the Fold

@@noahrothschildlmft5105 that's what I thought, and a year later I switched and don't miss it at all

[@Voltar78]

I had Z Fold 4 for two weeks, I gave it back after buying the S23 Ultra. Z Fold 4 has a beautiful screen and great speakers, and is primarily suitable for the consumption of content, movies, books, but ... the S23U is a much better everyday device. Lying in bed, it's easier to view one larger screen than a small or much larger one, entering text on a larger screen is difficult and impractical, 50 mpx photos in s23u and zoom are brilliant, built-in spen for quick notes without having to unfold, pull out etc, finally, the battery works much better, by the way 5000 MAh does not matter. S22u had the same amount but exynos made the system work twice as short. TWICE. To sum up, ZFold4 is a nice phone for business meetings to impress others with its foldable equipment, but still a bit impractical, most applications do not have a dual view. Outlook does, GMail requires a 90 degree rotation. Facebook, messenger, whatsapp, signal - without dual view. If social media have a dual view i would stay with Fold. Much to improve. Btw, the price with promotions is the same.

[@zevahc3928]

The thing I didn't expect with the Fold was the fact that so many of the apps I use are not optimized for the bigger screen so I end up seeing smaller versions of things on a bigger screen surrounded by black bars. Also texting on the front screen of the fold is just not doable. I found myself constantly having to open it up to do the simplest of texts and the novelty soon because a tedious task. Also, I didn't realize how much better the cameras are in the Ultra. I think I am over the folding phone.

[@limkeaheng5520]

Not having the good rugged case and the best screen protector on zfold is the biggest no for me. 6.8 inch when watching KZbin is no difference to zfold4 with giant black bars on top and bottom. When doing things on the screen, it's no benefits. Fold is big but everything can be done on 6.8 S23. and durable wise, S23 Ultra is built like a tank.

[@michaelkeaton32]

The F4 is a tale of 2 aspect ratios. The outer screen is too narrow for some websites, asked the inner screen has similar issues. I've had apps that have buttons that I can't hit because they're covered up by other things on the same app.

[@RC.Time-Crawlers]

I'm just adding my two cents. I've had the note twenty ultra for quite some time now. It was very disappointing that they got rid of the name. Ultimately, to create 3 newer versions that pretty much were identical to the Note. My main complaint each year that passed was the phone remained the exact same size. Everything else was simply media talking about what it can do versus what people will actually do. Kind of funny how no one ever mentions the fact that many people actually wear glasses.So at the end of the day, no matter how much you tell me there's ultimate clarity on the screen and now you can see mars, well guess what. You still wound up with another note twenty ultra. I myself pulled the trigger on the Z4 because I had discovered that this phone finally had what I always wanted, a speaker that matched the speaker on the opposite side to equally be the same sound quality. There is nothing worse than trying to squeeze sound out of the screen edge, ridiculous. I myself find the full screen spectacular when it comes to watching individuals or automobiles. Sometimes it's just better to see the actual subject at hand versus a lot of extra nonsense on the side. And no, don't convince yourself that cinematic entertainment would or will ever be recorded in such an aspect ratio. Even with bars top and bottom, I still tend to see movies on a larger screen than I did on my Note 20 Ultra. Just as you watch this review as to what you should choose, the images are spectacular on a full screen. Again no need of seeing nonsense on the side of the image. If you're into watching 4x4 vehicles rock crawling this also has spectacular footage on a full screen. Well, so much for my 2 cents. I hope this helps someone decide to make a move to something NEW. I definitely am not disappointed. PS If you're a savage this phone is not for you😉 Take care! 🙋‍♂️

I was worried about then inside display cause I'm use to glass but it's been solid since. And that sound when you close the phone... mhmmm😂

[@henfromhell]

I am trading in my fold 4 tomorrow for the s23 Ultra after only having it for 3 months, I just couldn't get used to using such a tiny screen on the outside which i found i used 90% of the time. The biggest factor is also the camera is NO WAY as good even as my old note 20 ultra, with not nearly enough zoom on it. Plus the phone is heavy, so difficult to go running with. I think if they bought one out with the same size as the Ulta with built in style and same camera specs i might think about going back, but at the moment I cant wait to swap it.

Hello, buddy! Excellent comparison test! 3 days ago I bought Fold4, even though I'm a man from poor Serbia and I've been waiting for s22 Ultra since 15 months ago and they cheated me on some shopping website and didn't pay me a new Huawei P50Pro that I need to exchange for S22Ultra. Of course, that's why I've been dreaming about the S22 since last year, not the S23, which is much, much better, because we in Europe get Exynos chips up to the S22 series. And all this in a really poor country, but I'm a fanatic for technology, computers, and especially mobile phones. And when I finally waited for one of my contracts with the operator to expire and I got the opportunity to buy a new phone, (FINALLY!!!) they didn't have the S23 Ultra on the shelves right now, and I'm a fanatic and I couldn't wait, so I didn't think twice -bought Fold4. And...my friend, I regret it for 2-3 days! Mostly because of the price difference, (because my salary is 500€ per month anyway🙄😒🤑) and for me it is too much expenditure in both cases. I should have been normal to buy some ok Xiaomi and that's it.. That's it for us Serbs! You have both, probably some Iphone 14, besides them, but I'm not envious! Not at all! I just want to explain to you in detail how wrong I was in those 2-3 days that I repented and wanted the S23 Ultra after an hour from of purchases. Mistake, mate, huge mistake! If I had bought the S23 Ultra, and given that I've had the Note 10+ for 3.5 years by now, I would have gotten a big upgrade, but not even 20% of the joy that started to overtake me when I realized after a few days just what the Fold can do and how much more interesting it is! The S23U is an upgraded form of the Note 10+, right? The Note ran on Android 12 with ONE UI4.1 and has 12GB of ram, a 60Hz display, but I mean there's no way I'd was so happy (very quickly) with the new S23U. because everything is a little better than 3-4 years ago. Even in terms of specifications, cameras, the Fold is a worse choice, and more expensive, and I say it again: FOLD, FOLD and FOLD. At least when it comes to us, mesmerized by phones and if the choice is between the S23U. and Fold 4! You said it yourself nicely: we walk on the edge of technological standards in any case. And we, who especially love it, have nothing to think about. We're moving forward, Fold is a revolution and it's true!

Due for an upgrade next month and really torn over the fold 4. Use my phone often and im concerned with the issue of the screen crease lasting for 2 to 3 years. Im using an s20 fe currently. Have to say the s range has served me well...but that fold looks so cool.

[@jmtm82]

Ultra any day all day… You never have to worry about your screen cracks for no reason

[@nialli2000]

Additional: You can use the S Pen Pro on the S23 Ultra. It has a switch to choose between a foldable and a candy bar phone (essentially locks the retractable nib which is only needed to protect the UTG of the fold

[@williammorgan3266]

I've got the fold 3. Love it for multitasking. Loved it Till the inner screen cracked down the middle.. Had it for 11 months. Sent it in got it repaired. Then 3 months later, inner Screen is cracking again. I'am a heavy user, so I think with the opening and Closing too the inner screen and other factors. This phone has failed for me... Plus considering, the. Cost of the fold 3 new w/ tax. I paid 2,200. When I bought it. But now, with the issues of the fold series at the moment. I will. Wait for future models. I've got an S 23 Ultra, 512 on the way.

[@JassReen-cl3nj]

Hey Awesome comparison. Haven't watched more detailed information than yours from any other youtubers. Recently purchased z fold 4. But now I am worried as to the durability and longevity of fold 4. How long it's going to last. My last phn was samsung galaxy note 10 plus. Confused as to how long will it last

[@007Nameless]

Same here. There is already a dead pixel in my screen exactly where fold is and warranty won't cover because there's a scuff on the phone.

[@JassReen-cl3nj]

@@007Nameless wow that's insane that's what I'm worried about.

[@drdarshanhegde]

There is no crease on the s23..wow👏

[@TheDane422]

Get the silicone case for s23 ultra, really nice in the hands. The cream color looks nice

[@Mikoru-]

The fold 4 is (in my opinion) allot better for gaming than the ultra since sometimes I play Xbox on the Go a bigger screen is perfect than a small screen and not only that it’s easier to read books/mangas/LNs unless you want to basically have a iPhone that’s android the ultra is for you but fold is allot more flexible. I say FOLD 4 Is best for CASUAL Phone users who aren’t on their phone constantly

[@Adrian_Nicolae81]

I have the same case as you have în the video on S23 Ultra. 😊 I use all futures from S23 Ultra, stylus and DEX as well, I was tempted to buy Fold 4 but I don't trust it to be so viable on long run. I prefer Ultra, but depands on personal preference. From my side if I need a bigger screen I connect it to a monitor or TV immediately through DEX.

[@beckylobreto516]

I've had to replace my screen twice, left side screen out. Less than 2 months green horizontal line on it. Yes its under warranty, but what a pain to be down. Will probably trade it in for the 23 ultra.

[@Tyomni_Ritsar]

Same here, I used to use Tablets for gaming and streaming. Now I just connect my S23 Ultra to the hdmi and connect my Xbox Controller. For anything like Browser or KZbin the screen turns into a mouse pad and it's way smoother than my old Chromebooks.

[@Tyomni_Ritsar]

​@Becky Lobreto see I can't trust a technology they're still perfecting. Because they still haven't perfected regular glass screen phones yet.

[@kenmusicman7061]

Loved this video.Thanks😊

[@jamiehunter3567]

I asked you this exact question a day ago so thanks for making this vid. great in depth comparison and I have decided to keep my fold 4 after all!!👍

[@TechOdyssey]

Glad I could help.

[@blueridgeocean]

Definitely go with the s23 ultra if you are a no bs shopper with a little extra cash. By the time you upgrade in a few years, the fold should be mature enough to buy with confidence.

[@mr.driveamerica3743]

Good video, tough choice. I have the Fold 4 but IM trying the S23 Ultra for a few days. I also have the Tab 8 Ultra. My thoughts are S23 Ultra by far is the better phone, does it all faster better outer screen better phone experience. Fold 4 does more than the S23, better for web sites, viewing pictures and watching videos. That being said it's fragile, cases are a pain none of them work well and I don't trust the inner screen to hold up , I see them break a lot and even if under warranty who wants to mess with that.

[@joaomenino5101]

Hi, can i use de regular s22 ultra or s23 ultra spen on zfold 4? It works?

[@outon2s]

Good stuff sir! Both great phones I just wish the z fold 4 had the camera the S23 does Thanks again for the video

[@TaccRaccoon]

If they made a fold with the same camera layout as the ultra I’d be sold

[@TechOdyssey]

I wish they did

[@aliciavives4240]

S23 Ultra, if I want a tablet, I pull out my Samsung Tab S8 ultra.

[@yournamegg4988]

it is soooo expensive like 2000$ dor s23u and 2000$ dor s8u But if you buy z fold you will pay 1999$ for both

[@jcru40]

Went from Note 10 to fold 2 then to 22 ultra then fold 3 then to 23 ultra ..... LOL love both phones but now there's just something about this new 23 ultra LOVe it . Waiting for a Fold with built in s pen great battery life and good cameras , until then I'll hold on to my new 23 ultra

[@pitbullash]

S23 Ultra everyday !

[@ChampDietingAndFitness]

I have a fold 4. I think the fold 4 has too many problems with the hinge having problems later down the line. I think the ultra will just last you WAY longer which just gives you more value. Don't get me wrong the 4 is cool and all but the hinge problems is SOOOOO annoying. I think something else that is extremely annoying with my fold 4 is using the normal screen when not unfolded. Typing on it is so annoying and I also feel like its kinda awkward to hold in tablet mode. Idk I just feel like the ultra feels more natural and ur only missing .8 inches of screen is that REALLY that big of a difference?

[@maheshbhattarai3418]

Adam, can you make a video about ordering carrier phone from Samsung site ... I wanted att but their monthly plan sucks... Trade in value is nice, but how much bill credit they give is nullified by the fact, that for 36 months, they force you to pay $80 (with autopay) which is a ripoff in my opinion. I know you had Tmobile, and you were frustrated by their magenta max. So, just wanted to know your thoughts on carrier deals, are there any better deals ? I'm keeping the s22 ultra for now. Since att allows any Samsung phone to trade. I was gonna buy a used S8.

[@tonyrobinson362]

Got the S23 ultra from Samsung £31 a month, Tesco contract £11 a month bargain.

[@dimaroyal79]

I do not understand why so many people complain about the "narrow" display. It is so convenient to hold the phone and when you need a bigger screen than just unfold it. But you have to be a finger gymnast athlete for just to hold securely wide screen of Ultra.

[@annawilliame3345]

Got the fold 4 6 days ago its going back tom .I'm getting the s23

[@TechOdyssey]

How come?

[@annawilliame3345]

@@TechOdyssey as a note user since the 2 ,the z fold 4 is a nice phone , for the price point and memory in the S23 ultra I believe it's a better fit. Also ,I am seeing so many bad things happening with the screen ,that truthfully I don't want to deal with. 😫

[@annawilliame3345]

@TechOdyssey to bulky ,screen issues from people I have talked to ,price point is to high for what you get. At the store today a rep was saying samsung was just paying off peoples devices that had issues, that right there made me know getting rid of it was a smart thing .

[@Christian_Leite]

Looking to upgrade from s22U with crapxynos because it cannot even run games properly and battery drain faster during mid-intense use vs snapdragon variants, tested the z Fold 4 in stores (Currently on huge sales) and small outer screen feels perfect for my hands to write etc. Coming from s22u dont need to test much the s23u just the new chipset is enough for me to trade in but I am captivated by folding experience specially the bigger screen. Can anyone provide me feedback about the aspect ratio difficulties you may have encountered with zfold4?

[@hectordiaz25]

Is it worth it to trade in my Fold 4 for the s23 ultra?

[@leaddog007007]

I did.

[@yankeesfanforlife506]

Samsung should make the fold front screen as wide as the S23 or 23 plus..

[@supreme84x]

If the Ultra just had the fingerprint reader on the back or the side button, it snap it up immediately. I'm currently hunting for a new phone and I 100% hate and will not get an underscreen front fingerprint reader. I may got flip or fold just to have that fingerprint reader on the side.

[@TigerRoshard1986]

Z fold 4 is my choice. Its a nice change of pace from the candy bar style phone. Its better to me, than the razr or z flip. If you love media and movies this z fold is awesome. Its my phone/tablet/small tv.

[@JoelCross31]

I had 2 fold 3s Crack in the crease after only 6 months. Great concept but the material durability is not there

[@peterheemskerk3182]

Another good video. I’ve had the flip 3 & 4 but now I’ve got the urge for a fold. Don’t like the front screen on the fold 4 so waiting for the Global release of the Honor Magic VS in 10 days 😊

My mom just bought me the S23 Ultra to replace my S10 plus. She even bought the 1TB.

[@TechOdyssey]

[@MogsterKupo]

Does the Z Fold 4 have the 'hide camera cutout' feature for the under display camera? I don't mean filling it with black, I mean hiding it into the notification bar when full screening an app (exactly like S23). I tried the Z Fold 4 in a store. While the under display camera is less visible now, it still annoys me when watching a video. Honestly, I'd rather just have a bezel.

[@Reverence12389]

what case do you have on the s23?

[@4tdaz]

I know there has to be someone out there like me that just wants a wider s23 ultra version. I don't need a fold. LONG time ago near the beginning of the NOTE series they had a phablet design which I would have immediately snatched. It was wider than anything now and I would have bought it but for some reason it had no where near the performance of the Galaxy S and Note series. I still want it. Everyone, especially Apple users, would make fun of me for wanting it and thought my giant Note 1 was way too big. But guess what? Now they all have giant phones too. I remember how bashfully Apple started trending bigger acting like they weren't wrong all along.

[@russtewell9776]

Agreed. The screen size isn't really conducive to working well with the s pen. It's much to tall and narrow. The Ultra should be a productivity phone similar to the Fold. But the screen ratio works against that. The Pro Max screen sizes are much better imho.

[@Carlyle69]

I switched from the S23 Ultra to the Fold 4 and I don’t miss the S23 at all. 🎉

[@SonicDestiny]

You can get better tablet and s23 ultra for same price as Fold 4 lol

[@louisbenevento]

Note 10 to zfold2 then zfold3. Always having to take extra care of folding screen. Time to change to s23 ultra. Having a tablet and 2 in 1 laptop my phone needs have changed. Looking forward to S23 Ultra. Folds are great devices. Just not used much other than just a phone and streaming music.

[@ronjosolis4413]

Same backstory. I have the zfold 3 right now after beint through the note series ever since. Im so tempted to go back to s23u

[@RunOrDie77]

I'd be very careful with Fold 4. I have it for 6 months +, took extreme care, 0 drops. The hinge started having issues not opening fully. Warranty covers it, the repair would have bene 700$. Internal screen foil started to unfoil too, few pixels started dying middle/top. So basically, if you are unlucky and you drop it and it has a bit of damage your warranty won't cover any potential issues the Fold4 might have due to its own poorly design hardware. To me, this is a massive issue because if you google a lot of people had this issue. To pay 1700$ for a phone that at any time can get fucked due to their own design flaws.. well, that's not good. If I were to choose again, i'd go for s23, because I'm not in the position to just throw 1700.
