Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 Unboxing & First Impressions!

[@ShaneSymonds]

What are your initial thoughts on the Fold 5? Check it out here ➡howl.me/ckfACzZexLq Thanks for watching!

[@jayko23]

I honestly think Samsung went lazy with this model. It's a minor improvement to the Z fold 4, which doesn't justify me trading my Zfold 4 for it and paying $800 +tax after trade-in . I would say whoever has a Flip4 to upgrade for the Flip5 as you will only cost you between $50-$99 to upgrade, and the Flip5 is a major upgrade to the Flip4 I'm going to pass on the fold5.

[@bluedevils81]

Looks nice I'm really struggling between this and pixel fold or keeping my fold 4

[@JK-xz1lt]

I do believe you've convinced me to upgrade.

[@fortressofsoliddudes4597]

1. MAKE IT WIDER. While folded, the phone *should* be just as wide as Samsung's widest phone (S23?) and open up for even more real estate. This whole candybar thing has got to stop, because we shouldn't feel like we have to unfold it for every little thing. 2. Built in S-Pen. Come on now, there's no good reason that this isn't a thing yet. If internals is the issue, start with my first bullet point and go from there. We all loved the S-Pen on the Note, and this giant phone should have one! Having a case with an S-Pen is ok, but...where is the stand? Now we have to look elsewhere for that type of case. 3. Expandable storage. This isn't a huge complaint, but would be fantastic to have for many reasons. I'm still using my Fold 2 and I'm not upgrading until Samsung makes more headway with those things. If they're not careful, Apple will release a foldable with all the bells and whistles that even Samsung users will be tempted to switch to.

I have not owned a fold and decided to get a fold 5. The upgrades seemed worth it over a 4, even though I would have saved over 600. Folding tight is important to me and I wanted the gen 2 cpu. wish it had 10x optical zoom tho!

I have owned the Fold 4 for a year now. And I can tell you it's definitely not worth the upgrade to the Fold 5. You have no clue since you yourself said you haven't owned one before.

You're going to love it.

[@dalehuhtala9285]

Yup, me too. I got significant discounts on the 5 so there wasn't much of a price gap between the 4 and the 5, so I went with the 5. This will be my first folding phone. The only down side for me is that I don't really like any of the colors. I loved the gray green and Burgundy colors of the 4 but now there are only boring colors. Went with the online version darker blue with the black matte frame.

Glad to see some people out there still enjoy the narrow outer screen on the Samsung. As someone who traded in my Note 20 ultra for the fold 3, I haven't looked back. The outer display is perfect for one handed use. I have small hands so I'm trying to stay away from wider foldables as long as Samsung keeps this form factor.

the fold 6 may have a wider outer screen unless they make like 2 models of it which is highly unlikely

I preordered it yesterday and am excited to get away from Apple since I've been using them since the 3G.

I am definitely thinking about a comparison video since we have a few generations now that look kinda similar

I went from fold 2 to fold 4 last year and the difference was huge the weight , battery life , performance and hinge improvements from the fold 2 was a major upgrade. Even the cameras were significantly improved.

[@BMX221]

I have preordered the 5 as well from the fold 2. Got a really good trade in with bonus trade $$ here in Australia for my fold 2, so was worth it to me. Wanted to look at the Pixel fold or honor magic v2 but would have to import them, but I decided I would rather have local warranty with a folding phone, also I know how good samsung does with the software.

I am also wondering if it worth the upgrade from 3 to the 5. BTW my Fold 3 is still working great. The only issue I had was with the internal screen protector after 18 months (like everyone else) and I carefully peeled it off and am not using one at all. I am not rough with my phone, so, so far so good.

[@sincitysteve2009]

I've had every Fold in the series. Currently using both the Z Fold 4 and a S23Ultra. Love both devices for different reasons. Just ordered the Fold 5 direct from Samsung. I ordered the Gray one with 1TB along with the Watch 6 Classic and a Tab S9+. My name is Steve and I'm a tech addict 🙄

I just upgraded from an S21 Ultra to an S23 Ultra and honestly I'm torn and wondering if I should go with the Z Fold 5. I've never owned a foldable before but it seems so cool! Even though I know the S23 Ultra is a very safe and reliable choice, it's quite "boring" as it's 90% the same experience as my S21U. If you only could keep one, which would you pick?

Yes sadly this Fold 5 will probably not get the attention it deserves, but hey everyone is entitled to their own opinion and that goes for content creators too

[@KongraDNB]

This years upgrade to the hinge and chip were the selling points for me to switch to a fold over the SUltra. I have a 22U at the moment, I wasn't going to bother because of the camera but after seeing some examples from the F5, I really don't see the difference. Looking forward to mine coming next week. Just wish the Stylus Case was a bit more of a reasonable price.

[@skee6]

Excellent and comprehensive review. Many of the other youtubers only knocked the phone for its iterative upgrade, without detailing the improvements. Great job!!!! 👍

[@jimmygoodson]

I agree and appreciate your excited optimistic take. While more of an incremental upgrade, I think it's a pretty sweet package overall and if you don't already have a fold or never bought the fold 4, it's even more worthwhile. It's a refined Fold 4, more or less, and for some, even some fold 4 owners, it will be a welcomed upgrade. The upgrade to the hinge, while seemingly small on paper, is bigger in practice. With the upgrade to the hinge, screen brightness, and processing power, alongside some great app optimization, it's one of the best smartphones on the market.

[@ShellymanStudios]

I can't wait for the Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra unboxing! 🔥

[@armandorivera186]

Stupid device. Where is the S-Pen Holder? It's like going back to basics again. The Note 20 Ultra has a 6.9inch display. Why can't the Flip5 have 6.9inch on both sides and make it a bigger screen? IIT'LL Look much better like that and with the S-Pen insert on the side. A higher hardware specs like the S23Ultra. Better camera as well. Eliminate the S24ultra next year and put all the hype on the Flip Series. Bring the IR Blaster back.

[@ramandosanjh8558]

I been interested in buying a Samsung Galaxy Fold phone for a while now. But there are just some minor things putting me off from buying one right now 1. The outter display is to narrow give me a 6.8 inch outter display like the s23 ultra. 2. Include the S Pen I find it strange how the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra and the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra have the S pen included. Why is it a problem to include the S Pen with the fold? 3. Give me the camera setup that you have on the ultra phones If they can get these features onto the phone I will gladly purchase it and it will even become my daily phone

[@AchillesNYC]

Once they make the outer display the same size as the the s23 ultra screen size, it'll be game over. The front display is too narrow. The competition is going to devour Samsung if they don't respond.

[@noworries272]

I made the upgrade from 4 to 5 and looking forward to it. What I wonder is every year they have made upgrades to the inside screen protector and wonder it the same has happened this year. Essentially the Fold 3 screen protector had to be replace yearly for 2 years with my wife. Mine also needed to be replaced prior to trading for Fold 4. This year my Fold 4 has lasted longer than a year. With the non retractable S Pen makes me think the inside screen might be stronger?

When i basically lived at the casino in 2021, so many people came up to me and asked questions. It's was awesome. Love you can have 3-4 maybe 5 windows open at once. I bit bulky with a case but that's fine. Advice. Don't take off factory screen plastic inside. Mine last almost the 2 years. When i took it off that's basically when the fold went to shit. It may look like after time the screen is cracking, it was only the plastic. Maybe get a screen protector. Or research it. I never bought an after market for mine.

As what I see, Samsung makes the best foldables when talking about built materials and softwar. But still foldables are not as practical as normal phones and the outer display of the ZFold is annoying because of its dimensions.

Samsung needs to make an XL version which is bigger like the Xiaomi mix fold 3, so the outer screen has more of a form factor of a regular smart phone and then they will be able to house the s pen within the phone also, the outer screen has always been a bit poor in size for me, this is just my personal opinion having had all of the fold phones.

This phone even am a samsung smartphones addicted but in my opinion it is a stupid creation. They should create foldable hybrid phablet means a foldable phone with regular external display size as for galaxy S ultra for phone use and when you need a tablet to use it for ebooks or gaming or creation, you unfold it as tablet. But whenever i go to a samsung shop and try it, i immediatly reject it. Best phones ever are galaxy S and notes.

This is most likely the future of the phone since it's what everyone is asking for. It will come out eventually, whether it's a folding phone or a rolling screen phone that expands out into a tablet

Can you give me a phone for my school work😢❤?

[@kareemabdulwahhab6919]

I want this phone right now. This looks great.

I hate fold series under warranty me rhne ke baad bhi nye nye bahane bna k repair nhi krte hai samsung wale

I'm still ok with my 3

Considering the average lifecyle of a smart phone is 18-30 months.. Those who stand to benefit are the ones upgrading from the Z Fold 2/3 or the S20/21 range. Great to see the development of these Flip phones - keen to see where we will end up over the next 5 years.

Which font do you used on Fold 5?

[@GallantKnight98]

New Subscriber man! Love your upbeat style of videos. This will be my first Fold so I think this will be a good place to start 😅 Got a $1000 trade in for my S22 Ultra, Storage upgrade and the new S-Pen case. Happy to join the "flip side" ... as they say 😂

[@rodriguezhudson202]

It’s the same phone from last year😅

[@kramdens1967]

The 1750 nits is only on the inside display, isnt it?

[@ShaneSymonds]

I believe it’s both, both screens look super bright

[@jorgeluisfernandez2560]

Between this and flip5 which you think is a better choise? I want fold5 but the new design of the flip5 is awsome

[@ShaneSymonds]

Flip 5 is the easier recommendation with lower price and trade in values that essentially wipe out the whole price of the phone, and the outer display is quite nice, and the flip is the most fun phone for average everyday use, but for heavy phone users the Fold is a dream

[@AlexAlex-nc5is]

Where is the charger?

[@saroj2332]

Great physical development

[@bathingduck4646]

Does the new s pen work with fold 4?

[@bathingduck4646]

Lots of youtuber review the fold 5 but non of them do this test. I think most of the fold4 owner really wanna know

[@miramarensis]

Hello, love the review. I have a question for you or anybody using the Z Fold 5. Can you access Goggle Assistant or Gemini by talking to the phone when the screen is locked? I have a brand new Redmagic 9 Pro that can´t do that, however my old trusty OnePlus 6 performs that task like a champ. Thanks in advance!

Nice video I really wish the blue color was for the s23. God bless

[@jasonmendonca6061]

I wish i watched this 3 hours ago before i ordere black. samsung never has accurate color representation on thier website, and this creme looks so good in your video

[@ShaneSymonds]

Cream does look quite good, I ordered the icy blue for myself since it looks like a iPhone 13 Pro sierra blue which is really nice. Black is also a very good option. If a case is going on it at the end of the day it doesn’t matter too much but with the fold your hinge usually sticks out so I understand color is important

[@jasonmendonca6061]

@@ShaneSymonds exactly, I very rarely buy black phones, I think it's been about 10 years since I last had one at this point, but the cases I want to use will look better with the black hinge and edges

[@vybz6502]

I really wished they would have made the outer display wider. The only reason to upgrade to this one is if you are still using a fold 2.

[@smasson4421]

Hi there. I see you have a Fold 3 and 4 did you have any issues with the inner screen cracking? I am not hard on my phones but after around 15 months I started getting a crack along the crease of the inner screen. This seems to happen to a few people. I love the phone but now really afraid to get another Fold because of this.
