Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Review: Tablet Killer

Great tablet for basically everything. kzbin.infoUgkxLNmVocUk8tnSkwWIlYSNFzWRIaFTBuzS I bought it specifically for art, and that 4k screen is really fantastic for it! Also has LOUD audio, even tho the speakers aren't in necessarily prime locations it really projects!You do need to get a case for this bad boy IMMEDIATLY though as it doesn't come with one.Battery life is really good! Standby time us FANTASTIC. This guy can go about a week on standby and be just fine. The screen is massive so the longer you have the screen on, brightness especially, it will effect battery life. I am very happy with it though!One thing that I didn't consider is that since the screen resolution is so high, viewing ticktocks/ reading webtoons can be slightly blurry. There is no way to turn down resolution either, so it just be like that.Would still judge this bad boi at 10/10 for my first tablet. I've had it 3 months now and its not shown any evidence of "slowing down" or anything. Love it!

You reaffirmed that my Z Fold 2 was worth the leap to folding phones. Always looking forward to your videos.

[@VincentEscriva]

Hey Michael, I use Niagara Launcher on the ZFold 2 and it’s the best launcher for this phone in my opinion. It’s very minimalistic but very convenient. You can use it use one handed, in fold or unfold mode. Left handed or right handed. Give it a try ! Thanks for the review !

Oh! If you own one, and happen to work in a construction type job, its alot of money but it's both worth the wait because of COVID, and the price tag of 85 bucks, but Spigen's cases, specifically the Slim Armor Pro has been a real trooper with drops, and a hinge that protects the hinge is a super nice addition!

Thanks to MrMobile for getting me started in folding phones. Watching this on a Z Flip 4G, best phone I have owned in years. The biggest thing stopping me from getting the Z Fold 2 to go alongside my iPhone 11 Pro Max, is its size and weight. This is why the flip is perfect for me, I love its compact size. Curious to hear of other people would make the same choice

[@hanzosiku]

I just had to stay awake to watch this review after seeing the recommendation thread and I was not disappointed. Great video with so much information packaged in the highest production quality that just makes me wonder how long it takes you to make one.

the annoying part of the fold 2 is that you always forget it can be in landscape for a true tablet experience as when you unfold it it's that weird tall tablet that feels nothing like a tablet until way later you realize hey wait i can flip it on it's side and then use it as a proper tablet, i found that annoying as i kept forgetting about it, the fold 2 is so good that i think it's stupid to buy the note 20 instead, only thing note has now is waterproofing,spen,durable screen, better design but the gap is thinning to the point of the note being redundant

[@ArariaKAgelessTraveller]

At some point they might adding Note pen to the fold as well in the future

[@PSYCHOV3N0M]

Note 20 Ultra still has superior cameras and a 512GB option in the U.S. Samsung should've at least included a Micro SD card slot in the Z Fold 2 to compensate for the WEAK 256GB of storage. There's no excuse for a $2,000 phone to have cut those corners. Z Fold 3 better make up for that.

[@Lahiss]

I'm shocked if there is Note next year. S20 Ultra is already the size of Note 20 Ultra, with better cameras and, atleast over here, the same price. Slap S-Pen on it and Note becomes obsolete. I predict S 30 or 21 or whatever Ultra getting the Pen, Fold 3 being the ultimate flagship and Note being nowhere to be seen.

[@Sharky165]

@@marqj301 TYVM, and that's pretty dayum good. So, honestly, the main reason I asked is this: I can currently get a Fold 1 for ~$1350, brand new. I can live with the Fold 1's 2019 internal specs, no 5G or fast refresh-rate, camera variances, no "compose mode", and even the big inner notch. The cost savings vs a Fold 2 are even more worth it IMO because of the included Galaxy Buds and case. My only two big concerns are the small outer display & the inner display's fragility. Is the Fold 1 at that price still worth it in your opinion, or am I "crazy" ? 🤔😁 I really would only use the outer display for phone calls, quick texts, and Notifs; I'm hardly on social media. Did you find the Fold 1's outer display unbearable to use, and did you have any fingernail scratch or other issues with the inner display ? TIA for any/all feedback U can provide...🤗

[@marqj301]

@@Sharky165 starting off, the original Fold is still a great phone and worth it especially if you can get one brand new or mint condition. I bought mine off of Swappa in good condition. The small screen didn't bother me at all. It was small, but I adapted to it. Plus, I only used it for quick texts and phone calls like you mentioned. Speaking of which, I believe the original Fold has an advantage over the Z Fold in regards to case options. The Z Fold currently does not have any good cases and most cases rely on adhesive to at least cover the front. That's the trade-off...you have a bezel-less screen, but there aren't any cases for the design. There are plenty to cover the back of the phone, but that's it. The thought of a $2000 phone that's half protected bothered me for a while, but I took the plunge in hopes of a particular Spigen case being the solution. I'll find out in a few weeks when it finally ships. Other than that, the durability is great in my opinion. I will say that the hinge on the Z Fold 2 feels much, MUCH better compared to the original. The best way I can describe it is that it has a more solid feel to it when you open and close. Overall, both are great devices. Can't go wrong with either one.

Thanks for the kind words. And I did indeed!

[@DarkOracleOfDeath]

The MI Mix 3 5G I currently have is probably the last device with that form factor I'll use. Considering the arrival of the 5 nm Snapdragon 875, better 5G chips, the democratization of foldables (by that I mean getting more affordable) I have no reason at all to buy a phone now or in the next 6 months. In fact it'll probably be about 12 months and around the end of Techtober '21 I'll decide what I'll upgrade to.

As much as I would love to get the Z fold or the Z Fold 2, I just can't bring myself to spend the money on it. I'm quite content for the time being with my LG G8 dual screen.

[@5stxr.kixn1]

yeah i dont think the fold phones are for most people yet just wait to it get better with the fold 3 or fold 4

[@Skorp4]

This review, probably more than any other of yours, feels like telling a story about the Galaxy brand as a whole. I love that aspect of your reviews.

[@sloppynyuszi]

Ha! I thought I was the only one rocking that Windows 98 skin thing 😂. Makes my Galaxy tab s6 lite feel like something I was craving since the late 90s.

[@franklingoodwin]

Not only do we get a review of the Galaxy Fold we also get a little history lesson of the origins of the Galaxy naming scheme. This is why I love this channel. Bravo Mr Mobile

Thank you Captain2Phones/MrMobile. As always your content is above the rest, always being a real life "reviewer". You have and will continue to set the future standards for current Mobile computing, and the devices I wish I had as a kid... I was up and down on my choice for the latest this year... After multiple choices and much $$$ I finally decided to stay with my Oneplus 7t pro 5g McClaren... As a second device(2 Phones... +) My main device has been The Surface Duo! Lots of compromises, but I still can't get over the 2 separate screens for the way MY brain works. I comend Samsung for this one... I tried and still can't find a use other than media consumption for the "Complete" device as of yet. I look forward for more content on the Duo. As always stay Safe and Mobile my friend!

[@cmair77]

It’s funny hearing your honest and professional review while all these other generic reviewers are drooling over the new fruit, great work thanks

[@TheHugecloud]

You've rapidly become one of my favourite tech reviewers. Brilliant content that's consumer friendly but also technical enough to keep geeks like me happy 👍

[@radspeed113]

If the fold 3 has the same aspect ratio as a tablet, I'm legitimately considering getting one, the 2 just feels so weird

[@gagne6928]

Same. Id want it to fold out to be 1920x1080 landscape

[@Cooe.]

@@gagne6928 🤦That's not a normal tablet aspect ratio/resolution dumbass... Tablets haven't been 16:9 since like 2011. They are basically always more square than that so portrait mode usage isn't totally useless.

[@Cooe.]

It does have the same aspect ratio as a tablet... The Fold 2/3's aspect ratio is super close to a Surface Pro's, and not far off an iPad's, and the Fold 4 is only just that tinest bit more square than 2/3.

[@gagne6928]

@@Cooe. i know but i like 16:9 better. Try to debate me child, there is no possible way for you to win this

[@inlineskia]

I had this for a week and I was honestly blown away by it. Seriously it was just incredibly polished and amazing to use. I took it back however because I was just too nervous to use it as my daily! I just knew I'd drop it. But the 2 different screens and the ability to set them up independent from one another was an absolute game changer for me!!

[@ElZamo92]

I don’t think that tiny phone is killing any tablets for two reasons: 1.- It is not really a tablet, but a phone with a big screen 2.- it is EXTREMELY fragile and expensive, not a good combination for something you’ll be carrying all of everywhere. 2.5.- Since it is EXTREMELY expensive, it will not be very popular, so supporting that kind of non-standard device isn’t a priority for developers (like Google).

[@Spearra]

Also LG has been teasing that scrolling phone idea for awhile now. That might have a broader appeal since the size can sorta be whatever the user wants it to be instead of two sizes that are stuck like that.

[@stuart3178]

1. It is better than a 'tablet' its more comfortable to hold ie a mini tablet. 2. It's not EXTREMELY fragile the build is solid. If you drop it , it is a sturdy as any other premium phone. 2.5 They are selling them as quick as they are making them ie far more then they expected. It is a niche product at the moment for sure and is definitely the way forward.!

[@t1328]

Great video as usual Michael. Typing this on a Fold 2. Still on the fence about switching from iPhone + iPad to just the Fold 2. Loving it though.

[@Sharky165]

Whatever you do, IMO do _NOT_ get rid of your iPad if it's a Pro model; I think you'll deeply regret it. You'd be giving up a much larger display with Pencil support, not to mention ubiquitous app optimization, 5 years of OS updates, and performance (benchmarks and real-world) that absolutely crushes the Fold. No diss to the Fold, I think it's awesome and FTR, I prefer Android in general on my daily driver device (Pixel owner here). But no Android tablet can touch the iPad Pro in the ways I described. If you own a Pro, then you already know that its performance is equal to or better than a fully specced-out MacBook Pro. Absolutely bonkers ! 🥴🤣

8:33 wow that night mode is incredible

[@zainmohammedali]

Watching this on my Fold2! Love this thing and your review! The possibilities with these foldables are endless!!

[@SlackerTheHacker]

Watching this on my Galaxy Z fold 2 that YOU inspired me to get

[@SavioShetty]

Probably one of the best Mr. Mobile videos. Its criminal that more people don't follow him. Just the disclaimer in the end clearing any conflict of interest is enough. Thank you Mr. Mobile

[@howyoudurrinhunneh]

Again I say Call me when the Flip Note 3 is out, if I'm still doing tech jobs and we'll see.

[@vinhvu155]

If the improvements keeps up. The Fold 3 might be the closest thing to a “finished product” as it can get before foldable eventually go mainstream. Like the Fold was a “Alpha product”, Fold 2 “Beta” and Fold 3 finished ver. 1.0. And you bet I be swapping in my fold 2 for that.

[@CHRISINCOGNITO]

Now that I've used mine for a month I can't ever see myself going back to a regular phone again. Once you FOLD... Their is no un-FOLD-ing...

[@JoelPiccoli]

Oh man! I can't get tired of the intros of MrMobile's videos! You are a genius man!

[@zzzzzzzzzzz6]

I use this thing all day everyday. My iPad feels bizarre to use now.

[@Voltronians]

Ok i just got the fold and I absolutely love it! It feels so solid. Well worth it. Thanks Michael, it was your review that helped me take the plunge
