I was so nervous buying the fold 5. It's a lot of money. But I've had it for 4 weeks now and I don't think I can go back to a non-foldable phone. The only negative so far is my screen time has gone up to an embarrassing amount.😂

I've had the Z Fold 5 for about a week now. I'm blown away. It's hard to imagine going back to a normal slab style phone. Software optimization is just amazing. Such a smooth UI experience. Running Ofice 365 and editing spreadsheets on the go with the large display is just a game changer. Very pleasantly surprised with battery life as well. Well done, Samsung!

[@Gurenn83]

I would go with the Z Fold 5. I actually like the narrow phone when folded as it feels so good one handed. And I also like the Z Fold screen when unfolded compared to the Pixel due to its large bezel which is an eye sore for me. If the Z Fold 5 was released the same time with the S23 Ultra, I would have picked the Fold 5 (close fight though).

[@DarnizzleMan]

I'm responding to your comment on my Z Fold 5 and yes it's amazing especially if you really know how to use it

Samsung trade in was extremely good, I traded in my 3 month old Samsung 23 ultra for almost the same price that I bought it for when I pre-ordered the zfold 5

[@EternalDestiny48]

I totally agree with you. Many people criticized the narrow front screen but they don't realize that it's a real advantage when it comes to not having to reach far while typing or using the front screen which is a huge Plus for my tired hands. The trade-in deals are amazing I got the z fold five for $577 after trading in my z Fold 4 for $1000 and a promotional Black Friday deal of over $300 off however they made me pay over $160 in tax

How exactly does the Pixel offer more "thoughtful" software?? Just because of the orientation? I swear reviewers are so biased to Google when it comes to software it's ridiculous. Samsung easily has the best software for foldables, more flexibility, more multi-tasking options, intuitive task bar, forces apps to multi window and also forces apps to fit the bigger screen aspect ratio, and the normal OneUI features that are actually useful. Just an all around better software experience and it's not even close. The only thing holding Samsung back is their persistence on not using a wider cover screen. As soon as they do that the Galaxy Fold will be the clear winner no doubt.

[@myfakeguuglaccount8307]

They like little letterboxed apps on a big tablet screen. It's bizarre.

[@andyH_England]

Each to their own, but I 100% agree that the Pixel software is far superior in the context of Pixel features. These include dictation and recorder that are far better than the Play Store versions on the Galaxy. These, which I use for many hours daily, make the Pixel 10X better. But if you do not use these and are an S-pen person, then the Galaxy may be your choice. So the truth is that both offer their own takes, and depending on your needs, we will choose our poison. For the record, many new fold features will come to the Pixel in the next feature update, including changes to the dock in line with the Galaxy. The Pixel can only improve and will likely catch the Galaxy in fold-specific software. But you cannot improve the hardware, and for me, the de facto USP of the Pixel is that productive, usable front display! As for apps that don't fill the display, switch the Pixel to portrait mode; that is what tablets do, and don't complain about having to do that, as I know with my Fold 4, I turned that to landscape mode for all my videos, including YT! Pixel for the win!

[@wakanda4eva]

Dnt you think you are a lil biased to Samsung? 5 years and Sammie haven't given a wider screen. If you dnt have the pixel fold, how do you know? You: soon as Samsung do that, they will be the clear winner.

[@myfakeguuglaccount8307]

@@wakanda4eva If Samsung makes the cover screen as wide as the Pixel Fold's, I'm out. That aspect ratio is the reason apps look HORRIBLE on the Pixel's inner screen, and the device is harder to hold and operate one-handed. Speaking of biases: willfully ignoring the Z Fold's increase in cover display from Gen 1 to Gen 2, and then again with Gen 4, screams bias. 😉 You do know Samsung did that, right?

[@RDJ1SS]

It's hard to explain. Switch to pixel for a year then try switching back to Samsung. Without all the extra software that pixel has, the Samsung just ended up being a smart phone with high specs, bit missing something

[@thecasualcanuck4590]

So, I have the Z fold 4, I upgraded from the flip 3. And I almost never use the fold feature. That being said, when I do use it, it makes me smile. Every single time I fold this thing open, and have a tablet in my hand, it factually changes the experience. I will never, ever, go back to slab phones. It's not just the screen real-estate, it's the option to choose how I tackle my media. As for battery life, it lasts a day. Like a legit full day of use while at work.

I have had my Z Fold 5 since August 11th. And I have been pleasantly surprised at how often I use it in its open state. I have been reading so many books, fan fictions, and manga. It's one of the best form factors for getting stuff done as I've even opened a lot more documents for work as well. With that said, I would love to use the pixel fold as well, because the pixel communication software features such as the amazing voice to text, hold for me, comma and call screening make using the foldable like a phone of more enjoyable experience. Whereas I have felt annoyances of using my z fold five like a phone.

[@lopezvip]

This is easy... samsung thin front screen is better. When you put on a case. Fits great in one hand since my s pen is hidden in the hinge protection. Genius design.

[@loboenUlm]

The problem with apps not adjusted to the inner screen of the pixel is that Google is somehow forcing creators to adjust their apps for this format. Not all the work is going to be done by Google. It's just that google doesn't do an extension of the apps because it is a horrible way to see the apps. Like Instagram on Ipad.

[@Ether_SolRac]

The biggest struggle between the two phones is that my ideal foldable phone is somewhere between the two. Like I either want a galaxy z fold "ultra" that makes it wider like a standard phone aspect ratio, or I want a Google fold "note" that has all the stylus support of a Samsung device. I'm hoping next year we can see one or both ideas happen.

[@EddiePReacts]

This is why ive bought the oneplus open

[@stevemiller9880]

The Z Fold opens apps better on the inner display because the inner display is a portrait aspect ratio like most phone apps. If you rotate the Pixel Fold inner display to portrait since it opens in landscape then the apps look just as good as they do on the Z Fold. That is why Samsung went with the very narrow outer display That being said I love the Pixel Fold so much more. The outer screen is so important

[@otepdotnet]

this is I believe Samsung design is logically correct. because most of the apps runs on portrait mode w/o customization needed..

[@NateisJung]

The big thing that made me choose the Z Fold 5 over the Pixel Fold was the processor. I had tried out the Pixel 7 for a while and the G2 just can't keep up. It would get really hot, and the battery would drain too fast with what I would consider moderate usage. I couldn't even imagine trying to run multiple apps side by side with the same processor. The processor in the Fold 5 exceeds my expectations. The phone stays cool and handles everything I throw at it... even in the Light performance profile.

[@thatguy6214]

Yes battery life and staying cool amazes me. My s22 ultra would get hot. This is my first foldong phone and I'm so impressed. I'll never go back.

[@AndrewPL5]

For me there's only one deciding factor, the front screen. Due to that I would never even consider the Samsung. The front narrow tall screen is the worst, Pixel Fold all the way. It'll only get better with software updates over time.

[@sheilabailey4005]

It is the Pixel Fold for me. I just love everything about it. The only thing missing is pen support. This is my first foldable phone. I did use the Duo for about a month. I did return it because it had no carrier support. Now I am glad that I did. I cannot use any foldable phone without a usable outside screen.

The point of the folding smartphone was to open it up and use it open. This is how Samsung envisioned you would use it and also the point of the device. The outer display is meant for short bursts of use but still has all the same functionality of any Samsung phone. It was also designed to be the 1-handed screen while opening it was meant for 2 handed extended use. I don't want to bash the Pixel but watching Lew at the end open it and it already being in landscape mode and looking extra wide and cumbersome is quite off putting. I rarely use my fold in landscape (only for media consumption) the Z Fold opens like a book and feels kind of like it too because of opening into portait mode.

[@lxlngrc]

[@baldone45]

Opinion

[@ArthurZakaryan23]

I prefer the Pixel experience and unique Pixel features but knowing that I too will use the outside display a lot more than the inside one means justifying the $1800 asking price makes no sense for me. I do like that the front display is wider and shorter than my Pixel 7 Pro and if Google sold a Pixel with just that front display for $500 then I'd gladly pick it up over a Pixel 7 or 7A, till that happens, Pixel 8 Pro it is for me.

[@cylehendricks8892]

I had the Pixel Fold for a couple of weeks, and I returned it. The Z Fold 5 has better optimization of the inner display, better speakers, and the crease is less pronounced.

[@ThePolaris87]

Pixel seemed to have clearly better photos most of the time, but the lack of apps properly utilizing the bigger screen (more so on the Pixel) means that neither of these are actually ready. So I got the Flip 5! Heheh 😁. I also want the outer screen to be on the same side as the outer cameras, this makes it easier for selfies

I'm not convinced with foldable smartphones still. But if it's between these 2, overall I'd go with the Z Fold 5. I think it was definitely intentionally designed for the Z Fold 5 to be used opened most of the time and to do quick notification checks on its outer screen.

[@Luminated]

I'm most likely going to upgrade my zfold 2 to the 5 this year or next year. I absolutely love the Zfold and everything that comes with it. I'm not the biggest camera junky so the quality is plenty for me. The amount of multitasking I can do for my business is definitely needed. The Pixel fold doesn't have the software and final finish I'm looking for. I can definitely see myself going that direction once they flesh out the smaller details for the phone.

[@koji.o]

I upgraded my Z Fold 2 to Z Fold 5. Honestly, it's not much of an upgrade. I can definitely feel that the Fold 5 is faster the moment I used it, it feels more premium. But still not much of a difference. Another thing to consider is if you can use the cost as a tax write-off. Or perhaps you feel like your Fold 2 is dying and you want to trade it in before it gives in. It all boils down to how much is the $1800 worth for the buyer? If it's like a spare change then that person wouldn't hesitate in the first place but if it's a good amount for you, then you might want to hold on till the next Fold.

Upgrading from Fold 2 to Fold 5 as Samsung is giving $900 credit on trade in, even if your device is not in good condition. Since my Fold 2 screen is starting to crack and the rear is cracked, I'm making the trade. Fold 2 has served me well, just the crease in the middle got worse over 3 years. Held up well over multiple hard drops. Was very durable. What keeps me at Samsung vs Google pixel and other brands is the quality of components such as Bluetooth, 5g/lte chip, CPU, UI, etc...

[@todbld]

I have used full time Z fold every year since release and just moved to the Pixel Fold, I am actually shocked at anyone choosing the Z-fold and usually chalk it up as you are not a full time fold user. To me its a better software experience on the pixel fold and its night and day . In your review here you picked 2 non optimized apps that Samsung is stretching to make it seem like they fixed it but its not, and across the 2 devices and a much larger selections of apps you will find that Pixel Fold has a way to render it much more naturally and better. With the Pixel fold the device is essentially 3 normarmal'ish phone screens side by side by side (think desktop with 2 monitors or microsoft duo) 2 on the inside and one on the outside, the inside ones also come together and let you go portrait. Between these options I can always find one that works perfectly for the app although it might not be opened and landscape. On the Pixel the worst case is it works perfect on the outer screen, with most times then will also work open and rotated vertical. Samsung on the other hand straight up has made so many apps unusable for me through several generation completely breaking some as well, additionally the outside screen breaks many apps and is just not very usable . Now factor in Pixel features vs Samsung bloat, day one updates yada yada honestly its a no brainer to me. Perhaps you should have done a week, and really used the phones before deciding :-) As far as the not opening it as much, I see that as proof the fold is working, its a phone when i need a phone, and when I need something more it becomes a tablet. If I wanted a tablet all the time I would just go back to the Nexus 7 and shove that in my pocket, saying you don't use the big screen as much or open it as much on a foldable as a negative is just downright silly!

[@dconnell8986]

I have had my Z Fold 5 for a few weeks now, and being able to use it comfortably while it's closed is a game changer for me. I previously used the S21 Ultra, and with my smallish hands there are only so many parts of the screen I can reach; with the Z Fold 5 this is not an issue. It fits comfortably in my hand. I love how with the phone closed you don't miss out on much with tiktok, and most apps run great on either screen. Both displays have beautiful colours, and buttery smooth animations. All together a very well put together phone with really good software, and the greatest OS and Security updates! Pair all of that with the reasonable cost of Care+ for two years, and Samsung can have my money. I went with the Samsung exclusive blue with the graphite/black edges, and it looks so slick. Love this phone and am looking forward to years with it! Great video guys! Love your content of unboxing things, and especially when you review products giving your honest opinion before we buy them. Keep up the great work!

Having used both I prefer the Pixel Fold for my usage. I mainly use the inside display for watching movies and web browsing. I use the outside display for everything else. On the Z Fold the outside display is useless. It might as well not even be there. I would constantly use the inside display for everything and that's not what I want to to. I already hate big phones so it was just another really big phone to me. The Pixel is the perfect combination of a usable phone (outer display) and tablet (inner display). JMHO.

This time I think Lew later did " the Snyder cut" version of these two phones. Good job

I had the Z Flip 3 and the Z Flip 4. I upgraded to an S23 Ultra and even though it’s “better” on paper for most aspects, I am ordering either a Z Flip 5 or Z Fold 5 again. I can’t explain why, but a normal slab phone just doesn’t feel right after having those. Almost archaic

The fold has no drawbacks compared to the pixel Typed on fold 4

[@MrSockez]

The fold 5 looks amazing, but I don't see myself upgrading from the s22 U until they release a folding model that also has an integrated s-pen. Hopefully the fold 6 or 7 has one

Really high quality, genuine review :). Personally I'd choose the Z Flip, because although I'm a 100% a pixel fan, the Pixel Fold is just not optimised enough yet. Once we get a few generations in, and recieve much more software support and flexibility, I hope my opinions will change. But for now, well done Samsung

[@Kevsmee92]

I go for Samsung..😊

[@Drew-ql3gq]

I go for pixel

[@kavinab6629]

Personally I prefer the pixel because of the aspect ratio I traded the z fold 4 for the pixel and although software is lacking in some areas I find it alot better to use

[@matthewsmith7947]

I recently upgraded from Iphone 12 Pro Max to the Samsung Galaxy Zfold 5 myself, i'm actually really liking it so far, compared to the Fold 4 i am liking the near completely flat fold without that gap the fold 4 has.

[@bigdrews4360]

Did you buy the Z fold as a secondary device or did you buy it for your main only device?

[@matthewsmith7947]

@@bigdrews4360 It is now my main device so im using it throughout the day either using just the main screen or with it unfolded if im watcing something or just need the bigger display

The pixel fold was already running this race with one leg, last years mid range tensor 2 chip vs the snap 8 gen 2 lol. Just that alone already loses the battle for google (and im a fan, have a 7 pro). The pixel fold has the better outer screen format and a better zoom...thats it thats it thats all its got going for it over the fold 5.

[@wakanda4eva]

You have both phones?

[@redstang70]

@wakanda4eva hell no, fold 5 only. Passed on the pixel fold due to the outdated and less than stellar chip in it among other things.

[@getskillseae]

Only practice of use will show how well the new samsung Z Fold 5 is done. But for now, repair service centers are overflowing with the previous version of Samsung Z Fold 4.

Google may be slightly more innovating, but Samsungs is super defined and feels superior. Coming from someone who used both (stuck with Fold 5)

[@kfx3907]

I think Samsung is more innovative than Google in the foldable tech.

It’s starting to feel like we are about 2-3 years out of where we’re really gonna start seeing phone companies bring in their A game to bring these new and bold designs to the table because it seems like a lot of the market is tired of buying the same phone over and over every year or two and those who update there phone every few years just get a new version of what they’ve already had for 10 plus years

[@japdil4887]

Meanwhile Oneplus: 🤣

[@fitrivanpersie5928]

Yeahh the purpose of folding phone is to use the inner display.. if most of the time, he use the cover display then it defeat the purpose.. might as well use a normal phone. Im glad Samsung cover display is narrow so most of the time will keep using the inner display. Just use the cover display for quick access.

I'm using the Samsung Fold 5 and I've using it for two weeks. While it is nice to have a larger screen for watching shows, I'm still struggling to adapt bc I sometimes don't want to open the phone and the front screen is so small and thin, I can't type.

[@kylejmackie]

It's such a shame you guys have stopped Lew Later podcast. It was in my opinion the best content you guys put out. Use to watch it daily, even did super chat to buy you nuggets once. Unbox therapy honestly doesn't compare.

[@casual_connor]

I am torn! I went from the fold 4 to the pixel fold... I absolutely love my pixel fold.. moreso than the fold 4, but googles mobile ecosystem is meh.. The pixel watch only gets through a day, so general fitness tracking is tough due to slow charging as well. I also have issues with the pixel earbuds disconnecting when I put them in the case. On the other hand Galaxy ecosystem feels a lot more refined. Better watch all the way around, I actually own the tab s9 ultra and is my laptop replacement.. It's not like I dislike the galaxy fold, I've used them since the fold 2.. In the hand it's actually much better. I just like the way the pixel fold looks more and the dimensions of the pixel fold are more practical for someone who uses both screens evenly... tough choice.

I was just thinking of switching to a foldable device in Japan.(btw that Kitano Sushi restaurant looked interesting!😋) since we don't use EN keyboards (instead a JP exclusive one ) which is good for even slim phones, I prefer Samsung for now.

[@msimrow]

The pixel needs to drop the price down about $400. There is no way, it's worth the same as the Samsung.
