I'm so glad Jason Momoa got into tech.

I came from the Fold3 to Ultra 23...I can't say I miss the fold. The fold is an amazing phone, but I spent most of my time using the front screen and I honestly got tired of the weight, so it made sense when given the opportunity I decided to go with the Ultra. I love it just as much as I loved the Fold when I first got it. I don't think you can go wrong with either, but I'm really enjoying the Ultra.

Using ZF3 since it is released and am amazed with it every day. It's such a great device, and I can't stop appreciating it. I reduced my usage of tablet and PC since I can complete most of the things with it (signing documents, reading docs, editing photos using light room etc). I don't think I can move back to slab phone. Very excited for ZF5.

Update: after about half a day of use. While the ultra is amazing. The z fold 4 does indeed feel better watching movies is just way more immersive. Reading way more immersive. Split screen still kinda sucks on the ultra because it's too small. Split screen on the fold is like two phones. No competition. S pen use is also way better on the fold due to the large canvas. My movies are significant larger than the ultra. I do like the higher res on the ultra and the good aspect ratio for all content. But for everything else z fold 4. Even the cameras. You really don't notice huge differences unless you compare. Z fold 4 right now. But might change as I use it more. Shall see. Thanks

Difficult choice indeed. Wish both had expandable memory card slot and Fold has an in-built S Pen.

i had the same problem. watched many videos comparing the two and ended up buying the S23 Ultra. Only because of the camera and the possibilities of damgage in the hinges of the Fold 4. Do I have any regrets buying the S23U? No. But i still watch these comparison vids almost every other day to see if I had made the right decision. lmao

Man, I watched this video, learned so much, and still can't decide

Awesome, thanks for making it so useful ❤

I've been struggling with this exact thing myself, thank you for making this video! I have an S22 Ultra which I like but I did really want the Fold. The reason I didn't get it is because I was living in CA and tended to end up at the beach a lot so I was concerned about messing the fold up with sand. I still want it and am not living in CA currently so I'm reconsidering... I like how quickly my S22 charges and how long my battery lasts which I think would be even better on the S23. I have an iPad mini which I use as my handheld tablet but honestly I find myself using my phone more. If my phone could truly replace my tablet I'd sell it. I have an iPad Pro that I use for bigger projects/drawing/notebooks but having something handheld for reading, videos, and multitasking is great. I wish I could rent a Fold to see how I like it. I've played with it briefly when friends have one but couldn't get the full experience that way. The pen situation for the Fold sucks for me, as I love the built-in. I am also obsessed with my PopWallet as it's easy to hold my phone and fits my license and CC so that's all I have to bring with me. Easy and slim profile. I don't see a great case option where I could have the pen and the PopWallet which is kind of a deal breaker even though it makes me sad. This video is making me really tempted to go for the Fold but I might wait to see if they ever integrate the pen. I'd like to see that, a bigger external screen, and faster charging. Thanks again :)

Nice comparative review. Well done Arjay

Great timing. Just got my s23 ultra today. Phone is super snappy. Impressive

Excellent comprehensive review.

I’m just curious day to day do you use your phones with cases are not? Especially the Z Fold?

The s23 ultra is amazing and is the better phone BUT I went with keeping the fold.. I just get more joy and feel unique using one.

You can't go wrong with either. I'm lucky to have both for work. Samsung has made some amazing devices. Nice review rjey.

Does your fold 4 make some noises of plastic being stretched whenever you unfold it?

Thank you for the information

Im switching from a Zfold3 to an S23 Ultra later today. I loved my fold, I was incredibly excited when I first got it. I still love the fold, but im ready for a regular phone again. I dont do tons of work on my phone, so unfolded was basically for videos and games. While I did love streaming on the fold, most videos have black bars. So its like im watching on a horizontal screen anyway. The weight of the fold does get annoying. Anytime I was on an app that wasnt video or gaming related, I was on the front screen. So im just ready to go back to 1 screen.

You can also open a floating window, which for me works great for quick notes or calculations

Just got a fold 4 from a iphone 13, had to choose between the 23 utlra and the fold 4 but for me im big into gaming and watching movies and the fold when unfolded is awesome for watching netflix etc and for gaming when i use my xbox game pass and contoller ive basically got a mini xbox lol so happy with this phone and will be getting the next fold for sure

Thanks for the video. Does every game from Google Play fit the screen size?

The pictures at 10:41, did u switch em around? Cuz Zfold4 looks way better at zoom.

This was extremely helpful. I was a repeat buyer of the Samsung Note prior to purchasing the Z Fold 4. I will be getting the S23 Ultra now.

Great review!

As a user of the S23U, I'm certainly happy with my purchase. I returned my S22U (purchased on sale just before the S23 release) and I truly enjoy the upgrades and this phone. This mostly has to do with the processor. I heard about the difference with the 8Gen1 and 8+Gen1 after the switch to TSMC (sorry if I got the acronym wrong). I knew that the 8Gen2 would be a beast. I underestimated the actual difference that the processor would make. I guess my only complaint is the name. It's a Note 23. They should've simply changed the release schedule. I am very happy with my N23.

I want link for the wallpapers that you used in 2 phones please 🙏 Great video thanks to you Rjey 😊

I BOUGHT 4 SAMSUNG GALAXY Z FOLD PHONES AND ALL 4 HAD COMPLAINTS WHEN I UPDATED THE SOFTWARE AND ONE COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING.

I took a hard look at both. The Fold4 was too heavy and too costly for the end benefit. Went with the S23U. If the Fold5 thins down, trims some weight, and finds an alternative hinge design (teardrop?) I will be back to reconsider.

I have the z3 fold and now i have a white light line going across my screen and it is only a year and a half . I am about to have to go buy a new one today . Just trying to see what i should do

Definitely went with the S23 Ultra. I was going to go with the Z Fold 4 based on it being different, interesting, and intriguing look. I've never had a phone with so much productivity power to it. But what drew me toward the S23 ultra was the battery, its performance, and its esthetics looks. It's beautiful! 🐬

Nice review I will patiently wait for your review of Z Fold 5 and ultra 23 before i decise on what to do

Video quality is good. I just have 2 suggestions for you. 1> Try to reduce echo in your studio. 2> Please set Bass in correct way. Not sure about others , but for me , audio was disturbing and yes this I am telling you after the adjusting my Vocal EQ and Low end EQ so.

Long time iPhone user here. I switched my iPhone 14 pro max with this Samsung fold 4, first time ever using a android phone, i give it a try, took me almost like 4 full days to figure it out, and still learning something new once in a while, love this phone, i don't see myself going back to iPhone ever.

Very informative I am still on the fence between the two. Leaning more towards the ultra just due to price. 🐬

Dammit I was indeed looking at my nose! Here's your new subscriber! Great review brother

Great comparison bro. I know you mentioned that eventually you stop noticing the crease on the Fold 4 after long time use. But does it get in the way when you're doodling? I like the idea of creating art on my phone and Fold 4 looks perfect for doing art thanks to the bigger screen. But I'm worried about the crease.

Where did you get the wallpapers ?

Can you do a video on the best dual sim phones? I carry two phones one for work and one for personal. I’ve used a dual sim phone before and found that the sims jam like texts or calls sometimes won’t come through.

At the end which one should i go with ?? I always watch comparisons but i still cannot decide which one to buy z fold 4 or s23 ultra ?? I am going to lose my mind rnd still stuck to my old phone because i cannot make a choice between them 🤷🏻‍♂️

I've been using my Fold 3 since about a year now and I don't see myself going back to a normal phone. There are lots of different little things that you can do with this formfactor that you'd never even think about if you had a normal phone. The inner screen is very fragile tho and has received some damage. The only thing I dont like about The fold 3 is the rather bad camera module.

Links to the wallpaper displayed on the phones? It looks amazing

Whats the date widget you use ? 👀

The Fold 4 is an amazing phone, I can't wait for the release of the Fold 5!

What background wallpapers are you using on the phones

🍑 Once you use a fold, it's very difficult to go back to a standard candy bar phone

Interested in the fold 5 but I'm hearing it's not that big a jump... Especially on camera. I'm using the s21 ultra still. I really want a fold, but I want it to be better than what I currently got in all aspects.

I might've considered trading in my Z4 for the S23U, except Samsung got comparatively cheap on the incentives this time around. When I bought the Z4 (on release day) they offered $1K for the S22U, Z3, and even the Z2, along with a second-device trade-in and generous store credits toward the watch & buds combo. For the S23U, they only offered $750 for my Z4 (!!!), no second trade-in, and less store credit. That's a hard pass for me and a hugely disappointing low-ball insult to their Z4, which I enjoy quite a bit. It's easier to hold while folded, which is how I use it most of the time, and it's still plenty powerful for all I do. My two wishes would be having the external display be pen-capable and a spot to store the pen, even if it means bumping up the width.

For the speaker test, you had the phones standing up, so you're blocking the sound from the bottom speaker. I have a Fold 3 and the speakers sound much more louder and fuller than my sister's S23U so unless they downgraded the speakers on the Fold 4, something's not right.

Great video 👍

Where can I get the wallpaper on the fold's inner screen?

On the device I have the crease bubbles up and moisture collects underneath it obscuring the screen just a little bit it's really annoying

Link for the wallpaper?

Is watching youtube on fold 4 look larger than on the S23 Ultra? Judging from the aspect ratio, it doesn't look like there'd be a big difference.

nice video keep up the good work

Do you happen to remember where you got your homescreen on your Z Fold 4? That is an awesome homescreen.

Coming from iPhone to s23 ultra I'm so happy with it but never put attention to the fold 4 until I have the s23 ultra and now I kind of want it 😂😂

I'm still holding onto my Galaxy Note 9 that stopped receiving updates in 10/22 😁. I love this phone, but with the growth of my businesses and traveling, it's time to upgrade and I believe you just made my decision that much easier. Looks like the Z Fold 4 for the win. And the Fold 5 is not far around the corner

Even though the zfold 4 has slightly larger canvas, I prefer the spen inside the phone just because I like to put any cases on my mobile and don't want to be limited to specific case, it makes the phone more bulky and u have to sacrifice like for example u can't have spen, mag safe and a kick stand funtionality all together just because that extra space for spen makes it impossible

Hi Rjey just left my local Samsung shop and they advised me to stay clear of Fold 4 as the screen goes black & the hinge breaks the indicated shop was full of Fold 4s waiting to be repaired but because T&Cs are different on Fold 4 than any other Samsung phone no repair bfing carried out Anyone else have any issues with Fold4

Please share the link for the wallpaper in fold 4 ...

Where's that wallpaper from?

Lol yes you got me looking at my nose!! I subscribed and pushed like!

What's the icon pack on the Ultra at 4:04 ??

I couldn't decide so I bought both :/... I love the fold 4 but after a while I just got tired of opening it up allll the time. If I had to get rid of one it would be the fold. S 23 ultra provides the wider comfortable feel compared to fold 4s outer screen and most of all I've lost my spen for the fold 4, and s23 ultra is a Note in every way. Only way I get another fold is if they include the s pen like the s23 ultra. Ultra wins hands down

I´ve had my fold 4 for some months now and I must say, It for sure doesn´t disappoint. However, you do have to keep it nice and clean and be very cautious with it, nevertheless as a person who likes to take care of his stuff it´s not an issue for me :)

Any link for the wallpapers?

I subscribed because I actually saw my nose and u got me 🤣 nice one.

Can carry the fold 4 in your back pocket and sit down on it?

Versatility is my style. Equinox has been my favorite warframe. She can do a little bit of everything. She can also switch between 2 warframes.

Been trying to vlog using my Galaxy Z Fold 4 and the results are superb! I really love the device.

I'm still rocking my z fold 2. Love the phone and the fact that I don't see many people with it is one of the best features. Its like having a tablet when you need it but with a smaller footprint.

I like your home screen wallpaper. Where is it from

8 to 10 hours SOT? Could you explain what the Screen On and Screen Off time hours you are getting?

Good 'ol sponsor at the end there! haha!

Impressive video…btw which game is shown in this video..?

I need that mountain wallpaper on the fold

Hey Rijey I just picked up the z fold 4 ND was wondering what wallpaper you use

very nice, tho im sticking to my flat screen 13 pm for now...not much to offer for now

One question I have about the fold 4. You mentioned that some apps are not optimised for it. Is that just for the inside screen only? Would an app (game) that isn't run fine on the front screen?

Well you definitely got my sub after im here trying to see my nose haha

i really like ZF4 but im the guy who uses his devices for years im still having my iphone 6s for my other sim and it works just fine but considering that there is a count on folding and unfolding it and the battery life is important for me im going with the S23U

we need cover screen like galaxy Z flip 4, it's really useful.

Since the s23u launch can’t decide between those 2 phones. Biggest concern with fold 4 is the screen durability, just hard decision

One of the primary use cases of folding phones is to open it out and watch video content in its full glory. Yet no manufacturer has worked out that the square screen with hideous black bars is not the best way to do this.

Holy shit. For the last couple of days i"ve been breaking my brain trying to figure out which one of these to get. And here you are with great content. Thanks bruv.

Great comparison video. I do miss the inner screen of my Z Fold 4 but the S23U feels more solid. And the cameras are so great on the S23U ... 🐬

Within 6 months of having the fold 4 the crease cracked. It's been fixed but I find that as a weak spot. Of it happens again I'm going back to the ultra. Or pixel 8 pro in Oct.

Should I upgrade to the z fold 4 from the S23 Ultra

I looked at my nose so I had to subscribe. You got me! 😂😂

10:38 which one is s23 ultra?

If i am going to use a phone in normal design, it is definitely going to be an iPhone. If i choose Android over the iOS, then the device has to provide something spectacular... so between two of the phones, there is only one winner in my use case. I gave s23 ultra a try, but only after two days i just got back to fold 4... now i can only wish better battery life & cameras on the upcoming fold 5. 🍑

Had both, kept the s23 because of the massive battery life increase.

Haha you got me with the nose. Subbed

Iphone 14 pro for work and z fold 4 as personal use for me xD I had to try s23 ultra i almost traded my fold 4, but z fold 4 wins for me.

Okay you got me . I subscribed only cause you made me look at my nose 😂

I got both. there is no need to decide which is which.

Got me to look! Subbed, lol. That wallpaper is fire, where did you get it the mountain with water one? Love the video!

It is a hard choice so i have both. When i am traveling or going to be away fom a charger all day i take the s23ultra for the camera and battery life. Otherwise the fold 4.

The speaker on my fold 4 gave up after 2 weeks so that's something to consider.
