Z Fold 5 - Unboxing, Setup and Review (4K 60)

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 is out. I unbox the ZFold 5 , set it up, and take a first look at the latest folding flagship phone from Samsung. I also unbox and setup the new Slim S-Pen Case and show the S-Pen on the Fold 5. #Samsung #fold4 #android
I also compare the Z Fold 5 to Pixel Fold and the S 23 Ultra.

To Fold or Not To Fold, that is the question. Thanks for watching, it is always appreciated.

[@Lynn-zw7dr]

I'd never trust the durability of a folding phone personally, no, not for me. X

Portland, JAMAICA in the Building!!!

[@peterthepanda]

Right now, definitely NO. Until they make the display more durable (still considerable number of displays that have broken at the crease), the cameras on par with the Ultra and reduce the depth of that crease, not going to get one.

[@cylehendricks8892]

Having used both, I prefer the Z fold 5. Even the outer display doesn't bug me as much as I thought it would. It is easier to hold and respond to messages one-handed, the longer display is better, for example, if you scroll through Twitter, Facebook, etc. The lighter design I much prefer. The experience on the 5.8" pixel fold cover display, while more ideal, I just didn't prefer as compared to my iPhone. The inner crease - there's less of an overall crease from the moment the slope begins on each side (not the divot), leading to less distortion on the fold 5. And, of course, a more optimized experience. I am rocking my icy blue fold 5, returned the pixel fold, and so fsr, no regrets

[@johngardner869]

Been using my fold 5 for nearly a week now along with the watch 6 classic 47mm. Love them both

[@GS0CK6]

The outside display on the fold 5 also gets the 1750 nits of brightness. Both displays are matched brightness wise.

[@littlestrangunusual]

Great review! I’m leaning toward the Flip 5.

[@julianvillarreal1450]

Late comment but this is amazing. A little disappointed that they didn’t merge the S-pen in it but I’m glad they still support it. I also like how it doesn’t have a gap in between anymore.

[@zollotech]

Not really

[@Silentjackll]

I turned in a note4 last year and got the Fold4 for my son. They gave me $1000 off so I only paid $800. Doing the same thing this year (tomorrow actually) with a S6 Active. They (AT&T) are giving me $1000 of my purchase.

[@weekendwarrior8179]

I think you put the pen in backwards. I’m curious about the tip. It doesn’t look like it has any give like last years.

[@shyamn84]

@zollotech Does the simcard tray support two nano sim or only one nano sim?

[@robwright5119]

2 nano

[@shyamn84]

Thank you so much.. non of the review video or even Samsung website specifies clearly about the sim card slots.. this is the first video that I saw somebody took time to eject and check sim tray.. Good work 👏 🙌.. it's really a very important feature which is kept unnoticed by many.

[@dayslikethis82]

Sorry is it x2 physical sims?

[@StearnsTechTalk]

I agree. I like the shorter wider displays on the Pixel Fold. Like you said - it’s a preference thing. I also like the fact that Samsung clearly thought about making room for the S-pen in the chassis but decided not to sacrifice other components like battery size and such. Instead they just went with a case housing to accommodate the pen, while also slimming down the pen too.

[@raffymytaffy]

Dose it come with a front screen protector already built in or no? I’m debating on buying a screen protector

[@zollotech]

no, mine didn't

[@MrTagoe-xw8yg]

the Fold 3 did but it seems that Samsung are now selling it separately as the 'Front Protection Film' which is 😞

[@UrbanSipfly]

Samsung is the true leader in technology (hands down)! Where has this technology been in my life? The Z Fold 5 is the ideal entertainment gadget one should feel confident about to carry with them wherever they go to use as their personal assistant in the 21st century.

[@danielquach7464]

So does the pen come with the case or do you have to buy it separately

[@zollotech]

It comes with the case

[@WaffleusRex]

As much as I'd like one, I can't justify buying one over a Tab S9 when I already have a Pixel Fold. Unless I go and swap out my Pixel Fold and S23 Ultra for the Fold 5 and Pixel 8 Pro and cancel my Tab S9 order. I think I'd miss that 10x zoom lens.

Irritated. This was a big purchase and my local outlet didn't have any stock, so they ordered it two days before July 4th, saying this would be two business days. Well, there was Wednesday, July 4th was Thursday, Friday July 5th, then the whole weekend. Expected delivery date Monday July 8th. Frustrating. I was off all those days and had plenty of time to set it all up. It won't come in until I'm back at work and busy again. 🙄
