As a fold 3 owner until last week, the fold 5 is noticeably different. The screen is brighter, the phone is slimmer in the hand and it feels smoother to operate.

[@Yielar1]

Agreed, tons of other upgrades too on the Fold 5 including the Snapdragon Gen 2 chip and beefed up ram similar to the S23 Ultra

[@mrlang125]

Yes definitely worth it from 3 to 5 but maybe not 4 to 5. Even though its only about 20g lighter it feels a lot more being slimmer in the hand.

It's not worth it from 3 to 5 yall are trippen. It'll be worth it when we get flagship camera specs. Yall spent all that money and my 3 literally has the same camera as yalls 5. Lol

[@robotbro7187]

@@HumanStateOfEmergency your fold 3 does not have the same camera as the fold 5. The fold 4 and and 5 have the same camera. I've owned the fold 3, 4, and now 5. There is a big diff between the fold 3 and 5, the 3s battery life also is trash, and the inner screen is way less durable, mine broke after the screen protector started bubbling 6 months into its life, and the chip sucks now. Upgrading from a 3 to a 5 is not dumb at all.

[@MladenMijatov]

Fold4 and Fold5 are almost identical apart from the spacing when closed. I do wish they found space for the pen inside of the phone. I usually don't have protective cases on my phones, but on this one I have to since otherwise I have no place to keep my pen.

[@MrDeeperASMR]

The Z fold 5 has survived the Jerry's durability test, quite impressive honestly. And that hinge test was insane. I think Samsung has found a way to really improve their craft. Still, a bit disappointed that Samsung decided to follow Apple footstep and move away from expandable memory, that solid grey block could easily be a SD card slot

[@spacemsh]

It was very strange to see such a long SIM card tray in this phone, since the last 2 generations didn't have that, and were shorter. So weird. The only guess I have is that Samsung might have a 2 SIM card versions in some markets, but with eSIM, I didn't think it was still common.

I had my Fold 3 since launch, I only damaged it this year. So yeah before that my Fold been running strong. Never had issue with hinge or display, only thing had to get the screen protector replaced by Samsung that was it. 👍🏼

[@RossBossly]

As an owner of both the 3 and now the 5, the biggest difference is the battery life. The 5 lasts so much longer than my 3 ever did even when it was brand new.

[@TGMisKillingTheMiddleClass]

I get about 4 hrs SOT on my ZF3. Not a problem when you work from home, but not great.

[@rubaokiller]

Yeah same here with my ZF3. I don't mind recharging it 2 times a day when I'm home, but I would definitely make use of a long lasting battery life for sure. Not for that price tag tho

[@neversleep8820]

Same, this is exactly why I bought my 5. I couldn't go for 1-2 hours before my 3 started getting low battery where I felt I had to plug it in. I love the 5, also another thing a lot of people don't talk about is the outer screen size. The 3 is practically unusable, the 5 display is like half an cm wider, it's much easier to use

[@maximumclutch8113]

I get more than double the screen on time with the 5 than I did the 3. Background battery drain seems to be a huge improvement too. I didn't realize how bad fold 3 truly was until I got home on day two with the 5 and thought my phone would be almost dead because I hadn't charged it all day. It was at 70%

[@reneoslop]

The pain I get watching these durability test videos is unimaginable😢

[@markojokanovic349]

As someone who walked through two Samsung Fold 4 devices within a year - I still feel it..

[@jathanstewart8247]

So this video convinced me to get the z fold 5, after waiting years for the perfect folding phone to start with since durability is a major factor in the line of work I am in. Now, after some time with the fold 5, I have noticed many things. 1. The many complaints 2. Everyone discrediting the durability 3. Bashing camera quality, etc. However, if you like, I was wondering if it's worth it, I can definitely put that thought to ease. The answer is absolutely. The z fold is super durable, I am an air field electrician, so my pockest get filled with dirt and grime often, which has affected the phone's henge none. Moister that my phone has been subjected to has had no effect on the inner screen, ports, or speakers. It has been scratched on the metal frame and henge from a poor designed case allowing debris to get caught between the case and phone, which will be replaced with a dbrand case, but other than tiny scratches, no issues so far and my lifestyle is brutal on phones. The complaints about the thin front screen and camera quality aren't an issue either. I bought the phone, not for photo shoots and looking at aliens on the moon. Rather, I bought it for the purpose of multitasking, watching shows, gaming, and videos pretty much wanting the option of having a small tablet and phone together at the same time without the separation of using two seperate devices. The front screen is perfect for quick access or scrolling on social media, while the inner display is for everything else. The camera still takes beautiful pictures with amazing colors, quality, and contrast. The same goes for the video quality. If you want an army swiss knife for a phone, that is durable enough for everyday life, even for the more rugged lifestyle. Get this phone, you won't regret it. My only complaint is the misinformation people have let on about the quantity of this phone in other videos and reviews I have watched. If it wasn't for the Jerryrigeverything channel and the quality of videos you make. I wouldn't have the confidence in the product I end up buying, which has led me to enjoying my decisions rather than regretting them.

[@SapSapient]

Between Zack's durability test, and another channel's live stream of real people opening and closing a Flip 5 more than 400,000 times before the screen failed, I think it is fair to say that Samsung has got this folding thing figured out.

[@Natsukashii1111]

meanwhile i'm on my third z fold 5 because the last two have catastrophically broke in the crease. i beg to differ. they may be stronger but quality assurance and consistency still has a lightyear to go. and their customer service is a whole different level of ridiculousness at how hard they try to fight warranty returns on a clearly defective product saying i'ts my fault when i barely even got to touch the damn things

It's amazing to me how far samsung has come with regards to durability from the Z Fold 1 to the Z Fold 5. As someone who had the Z Fold 4 (traded it back in because I realized folding phones really weren't for me), I appreciated that the phone always felt just as sturdy open as it did closed. This 5th generation seems to be an incremental upgrade. It's basically a Z Fold 4S. Something to upgrade if you have a Fold 3 or earlier, but an upgrade that you can skip if you have the Fold 4.

[@Randomstuff77654]

I really wish Zack would add a drop test to the durability test as there’s no impact testing at all and that’s one of the major things I worry about. Also a mega thumb test in the soft plastic screen just to see if it permanently warps after really digging your fingers in. Otherwise I do love the videos, thanks Zack

[@bokie2461]

You're gonna love it, just make sure you have insurance on it and you should be fine. I have Fold 3 been using it since launch and it still working strong no broken display just cracked my small outer display because I dropped it in a pool couple months back. My USB C port kinda fried but surprisingly the actual displays still work perfectly no dead pixels. The main big display work perfectly and I reckon if I never dropped it in pool my phone would have lasted easily like 2 or 3 years more. Just sucks my charger port damaged so I'll be upgrading Fold 5 this year. I would get it repaired but Samsung quoted me $650 to repair everything annoyingly so yeah sucks it happened when my insurance ran out lol 😅

It's always fun watching these for the Z Folds! I've had Folds 1, 2, and 3 until my Z Fold5 came in on Monday. Between 4 and 5 there's not a whole lot different besides the 5 folding flat, but between 3 and 5 the cover screen being shorter and wider has been amazing and I've been using the cover screen a lot more on average the past two days than I did with my 3. Not to mention I don't have to worry about wallpapers that don't look good narrow as much anymore. So while aesthetically it's a small change, for a user of four years now it's a very welcome one! 😊

[@RaymondMiller-tl7zd]

I agree, I just got my Fold 5 and was rocking the Fold 3 and they feel like different phones to me. Form factor may be similar but there are definitly incremental upgrades that make the Fold 5 better in every capacity. Fold 3 was a great phone, the Fold 5 is even better and fine-tuned IMO.

The "Permanent" screen protector CAN be removed, but you need to be careful. Basically once it starts getting peely after a year or so, you can very carefully pull it off and either go without or get a new one. There are aftermarket ones that seem to be decent, but it should be noted that Samsung has made it free or fairly cheap to get a new one, like $20 I think, but walk-in locations are limited and sending your phone in for one is very inconvenient. When in doubt, don't mess with it and have it fixed by someone who knows what they're doing.

"If you want a Fold 5, just go buy Fold 3" Cheers Zack. I have one and you may have just saved me a small fortune. As brilliant as the Fold series are, it's a shame that there are no significant changes each year. Especially where the folding screen is concerened.

[@REPURDYJ]

What bif advance would you like to see? It's a screen...

[@gemazarusgaming1549]

And a very good screen it is too. The tech is still quite new though, and there have been advancements in the way they are built and supported since the Fold1. But, the screen protector on mine has come loose along the seam and for me that's a deal breaker. Not just about the screen though. The camera's could be better, the lack of expandable memory shouldn't be a thing in so flagship and expensive a device, and I hate carrying my S-Pen separately as opposed to internally a la the Note series. Also, it's just my opinion, but I wish it was slightly wider. That would give a more natural aspect ratio on the external screen as well as a slightly bigger internal screen. I've simply not seen enough innovation between the Folds since the 3 to make me want to upgrade. I was hoping for something from the 5, but I'm disappointed. May go back to a glass rectangle at this rate.

[@barronhelmutschnitzelnazi2188]

​@gemazarusgaming1549 I had the pre-installed screen protector on my Fold 3 come loose in about a year or so. Replaced it with a different one off Amazon and good as new.

You don't have any gripes? I'm coming from a 22U also and I am already missing the Spen functionality on the outer screen. And I also find myself using the phone unfolded more often. That's not a gripe, I don't think 🤔 lol. Naturally as a girl I have small hands. But I seem to find the buttons just fine. It's kinda like a mini version of a PC mini KB. But yeah anyway my gripe is the Spen and of course my fear of the non dust resistance. I'm afraid simple pocket lint is going to damage it one day. Not to mention the fact I like to frequent the beach.

[@GallantKnight98]

To me, I don't mind. I like the smaller screen cause it's easy to one hand and with large skinny fingers I don't find typing too hard...people are just picky. It is a new form factor, so it isn't for everyone, but if you're spending this much money on a phone, open it and treat yo self 😅 This is my first Foldable so I thought thr 5th gen was a good starting point (as Jerry proves). Also, it stands out and you'll get a lot of people asking questions 🤷‍♂️

I want the dust resistance of the 5, but until it's IP certified it's a no from me.

[@HarmonicaMustang]

​@@reticentreceptacleI've got the Fold 4, and I work in IT, so I've put my phone through its paces in dusty and hot environments, and apart from being slightly dirty now it performs as good as new. I've got no reason to upgrade to the Fold 5.

[@suhy9861]

i currently have the 4, and have had it for about 6 months so far, i highly recommend a folding samsung device, super fast, super snappy, super durable, its been caseless for a month just because i like to appreciate how welll its built, its been around concrete dust and water quite often, and it has zero issues, and only 1 small scratch on the inner display that i keep losing the place of all the time, and battery life is better than expected, i rock my settings in power user mode (everything that drains the battery the fastest is turned ON at all times)

[@hsienfromspace]

it has fingerprint sensor to bring notifications down.. missing in the 5 ...

[@TurinAlexander]

I bought one of these this week to replace my aging S8+ (still works, just battery life isn't there anymore). Anyway, glad to see that aside from the inner screen needing some babying, which I figured was the case, that it can take some punishment.

[@farorewind3379]

not folding backwards even when considerable strength is applied seems sorcery-ish lmao. I have a fold4 and it feels so "easy" to fold backwards. Never tried though, thanks for trying that for us

[@evaldasjonaitis3524]

But I tried it a little, it felt like bending solid metal plate

I wish they had that for my Fold 3... On another note I think you should add a "freeze test" for folding phones...that's when mine bit the bullet...it was cold out folded my phone and CRACK right down the middle

[@Invertmini1212]

Love my Z fold 5... This is coming from an Iphone user of over 9 years. Never thought id go android but im glad i did. Its like I own an Iphone when its closed and when opened a tablet. Not to mention using it for business has been priceless. I will admit, my first Zfold5 was replaced after a month of use.. One morning when I opened it i heard a crack and it cracked right down the middle with a large line down the middle under the glass and the screen was completely black.. bummed me out, got a replacement and haven't had issues since.

[@Trancer006]

Wth how does it just crack like that?

[@Invertmini1212]

@@Trancer006 No clue, im guessing it was just a lemon? Maybe it was just the right amount of force and opening it quickly. Its weird because they’re rated for 200,000 open/closes.

"Just go buy a fold 3" exactly what I've been saying lol. Half the price, same phone I already have :) if it breaks, I'll just buy another 3, it's held up very well these lady 2 years though!

[@Maxicraft]

IMO the fold 4 front-screen format is more ergonomic, those extra 4-5MM on the side change the experience.

[@DragonOfTheMortalKombat]

Lol no, fold 4 had better cameras, much better chipset and more ergonomic design along with a properly hidden under display camera. Fold 5 is the only minor improvement.

[@WheelsAndHelmets]

You guys are absolutely right about the improvements. It's simply not worth the $2k annual or even biannual upgrade even with the half off trade in promotions. To me.. I'll add that it's a personal take and others may feel differently :)

It's worth mentioning that anyone who works outside and gets dirty absolutely cares about dirt/temperature durability tests. I'd love to know how cold or hot a temperature I can still use my phone at. How a phone handles dirt and sand is also super valuable info.

Coming back to this after watching the latest durability test for Z fold 6, especially on the hinge test, I guess Im going with the Fold 5.

[@sauravkhanal]

"If you want a Fold 5, just go buy a Fold 3 - it's the same phone."😂

[@dolsimon]

I recently realized that you didn't do a durability test on the note 20 (not ultra), and it would've been interesting to see how that one would have held up compared to other phones since it has a plastic back, and people dont seem quite sure on whether the frame was steel or alumimium. Either way, always fun to see you consistently test new phones, and whether they can survive extreme contitions!

[@justinryals832]

No one cares about the note 20 even when it was new that’s why

[@SmugGoddess]

7:37 best quote so far. Made me laugh. 😂

[@ChrisLightbulb]

Thanks for this; Samsung has engineered a very impressive internal hinge mechanism, and it's impressive to see that the phone doesn't break in half when bent in the middle from the back. It's still too thick when folded though and the front screen isn't big enough and doesn't have a high enough resolution. I might consider a Fold when they can get it down to about 9mm thick without a case when folded and the front screen to be around 6.7" 1440p 120Hz+ display with Gorilla Armor.

[@czaedyn]

Excellent video! My daughter dropped my Z Fold 3 which destroyed the internal screen. I was just 2-months shy of having the 3 for two years and the insurance did not have any 3's/4's available to replace it with. Thus I ended up with a Fold 5.

[@lepterfirefall]

This video is painful to watch....but it does actually show how much better they are getting. Durability was always my fear.

[@krischperl521]

For the next gen, you can just reupload the fold 3 durability test and do a new voiceover to call it fold 6

[@GurkenbauerTim]

Isn't next gen getting a redesign though? Pretty sure it was confirmed a while back. (I know leaks aren't 100% accurate but c'mon)

[@najdo]

I got the Fold 3 on release, 10 months later screen started cracking in the middle. I though it was annoying scratches, but they were cracks. Took it back, stayed at Samsung repairs for 4 weeks (while using my Note 10+ Star Wars edition) in the meantime, they called me and said they will get it replaced with the Fold 4 (which had just released). Handed the new Fold 4 over to my 13yr old son brand new, i patiently waited for the S23 Ultra. And i am glad i did. My son has had the Fold 4 for a year now, it has been great. The S23 Ultra made me forget about the fold in an instant...

[@galaxygalaxy4429]

​@@najdoS23 ultra is the best, but it's too big.

[@najdo]

@@galaxygalaxy4429 i used the Note 10 + for 2yrs. Went to Fold. Lucky it broke and i gave the replacement to my son and got the S23 Ultra. I personally find the Note style the most practical, stylus built in, slim, full screen etc. I found the outer screen of the Fold too narrow, hard to write measages etc. And i couldnt walk around with it unfolded all the time. Thats me...

[@bokie2461]

Fold 3 since launch still rocking strong but barely. I cracked outter display by accident when dropped it in a pool. Surprisingly no liquid damage on the screens so they work flawlessly just my USB C port barely works because liquid damage. So I hope it can last me a bit longer till I can afford the Fold 5 or Fold 6. Would have kept this phone wayy longer if never dropped it annoyingly 😪

I've been told to dumb it down before and I will here too. I understood everything he said; however, a good communicator understands his audience and avoids annoying them with condescending- arrogance. At least he shifted gears in the actual topic for review, thx.

[@Movie16Master]

Recently got the Fold 5. Was confused as to why they didn't include an s pen slot until I took my wife's Note 20 and compared the thickness. There is no way the s pen could fit. They really slimmed down the fold phones which makes it a nice fit in the pocket. I was curious as to how durable that hinge was. Nice to see how well it held up during your test.

[@PSYCHOV3N0M]

That's bullshit. Samsung can adopt a wedge-shaped body like the Huawei Mate X2 to accommodate a built-in S-pen.

"if you want a Fold 5, go buy a Fold 3" brutal!

[@darylpaulk]

Have a fold 3. It is not the same phone. I work in construction, I expected to destroy this phone, but it was still great. The weight doesn't matter however the full closure with the new hinge is it. Slight refinement is all it needed, although a spot for the pen like the wonderful Note line😢. I watch tons of KZbin and movies, allows me to avoid a tablet. And at 5'9, holding it open or closed in hand not a problem. Battery life is still good. However, when using open...well, obviously, it won't compare to less screen slabs. Bottom ,for me, the damn this pretty indestructible. BUT the inside screen cover is what I DEEPLY AGREE WITH! Wish you could change it yourself. Its starting to get residue under that screen cover in the center under it. But my screen is still fine! My port gets dusty but has taken many lickings and keeps on ticking 🤷🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️😆. Love this oversized phone undersized tablet. Can't beat the view!

Can give you feed back from a z4 fold. No real cosmetic damage, it had been dropped a few times. Fell out of my pocket riding a motorcycle onnthe road., had a case on it. Seem like then sudden impacts damaged the phone, knocked a few screws loose. Because over time the WiFi button stopped working, weeks later the Bluetooth, weeks later the mic, the speakers, the front camera, the inside screen looked fine but it didn't detect touch. Everytime the phone died it was hard to turn back on and when it did something else didn't work. Samsung quoted over $900 to repair so I just got the z5😅

Guys DO NOT BUY A SAMSUNG FOLD. My fold4 inner display broke within 1 year and 4 months just out of the warranty date. The inner display is not ready for consumers. Samsung intentionally puts the warranty at 1 year, so they won't be liable for when it breaks. You will have to buy an additional 3-5 year extended warranty. HEED MY WARNING.

The screen witheld ok as it was brand new, after a few months of usage the oils in folding screen maintaining elasticity will evaporate and the material will become more brittle, similar to old rubber.... The creases will become more pronounced and eventually cracks will appear along the middle which in time will cause catastrophic failure on the panel. I had 4 fold 3's and a fold 4 with identical issues, all were taken care religiously and I even tried using the small screen wherever possible to minimise folding main screen. Despite this all phones eventually failed of same issue with screen.

[@reaperstone2271]

I think a lot of people miss that for the american version of the phone, that solid grey chunk is where the second sim card slot is on the foreign models. It -does- have a use. Here in the US we have one physical sim and a digital sim. Now I'm not positive, but I believe that the foreign model has two physical sims and no digital sim. I could be wrong on that but I believe that to be the case. It would be nice to use the extra space on the american side for an SD card but Samsung would never do that as that space in other models does serve a purpose. IT wouldn't be far to foreign markets to have the SD card in the US one and not theirs and it would mean a redesign on the phone that already has a model that works across the globe.
