I love the Fold 5. I used it during my international travel and found I didn't need a separate tablet or laptop. Seriously made things lighter.

@aronk3688 8 месяцев назад

I just upgraded to the fold 5, just waiting for it to arrive and I am very excited. For me, I've always watched closely with how they were developing and as soon as I saw this one closed flat, I knew I'd be happy to give it a go. So I'm upgrading from the Note 20 and the fold 5 was actually on sale for me, ended up being cheaper than a fold 4 😅

How do you fix it when the inner screen refuses to come on? Especially after folding it.

@carnage169 8 месяцев назад

Please, I want your help. I have an S22 ultra phone. When I open the camera application, the primary camera and the 10x camera make a sound. When I looked a little closer at the camera, I saw that when the camera is off, the lens is lower, and when I turn on the camera, the camera rises higher and makes a sound. Is this normal?

@danielbozev6942 7 месяцев назад

do your phone opens 180 degrees ? my feels like im opening it on 180 and then stays like 179-179,5 and i dont kno if this is a problem ??? PLS HELP

@TacoTechTalk 7 месяцев назад

Samsungs and even other manufacturers Foldables are notorious for having this issue, currently mine does open up at 180° but I wouldn't be surprised if overtime it starts to require me to give it a nudge to open fully up

@TerrabyteX 8 месяцев назад

Only in Murica , Unlimited means actually 40gb then lower speed and 480p. You guys are getting farmed over there like the Matrix. Everywhere else in the world mostly , for example Europe, i pay 5$ for real, i mean real unlimited internet, unlimited (in my country ) calls+video and 250 minutes in roaming. Also the speed is 5G and 4G where 5G isn't covered, like rural areas.

@Labios_Rotos 7 месяцев назад

Getting "farmed"? Cell phone plans in the US are more affordable than most other countries, why do you think people don't have the need to use What's App here? We don't get charged per message, unlike some parts of Europe, on top of the fact that most Europeans countries don't even have true 5G. You may need to sit down here.

@gazw9595 7 месяцев назад

Thought same when seeing the US price 😅 that's daylight robbery

@ajwilson313 6 месяцев назад

I pay $40/ month for truly unlimited. Never throttled and I use over 300gigs of data a month.

@gazw9595 6 месяцев назад

@ajwilson313 for £49 on O2/telefonica which includes samsung z5 fold, unlimmited mins, txt, and data at max 5G speeds. Plus Switch up your handset every 90+ days. Can use phone for free in EU, US. Then extras that really make the difference, choose either amazon Prime, disney+, audiobook, macaffee and others for free and loads of freebies like free greggs (bakery), discount/cashback on highstreet clothes brands, food shopping, cinema and concert tickets, bar, restaurants and plenty of prizes to win

@HarryDunlopClark 5 месяцев назад

@@ajwilson313I’m looking into upgrading at the moment, and I’m financing the phone separately to the contract. Getting a Vodafone SIM only contract. Truly unlimited 5G data with no speed throttling, unlimited texts and unlimited calls. £16.50 a month.

@user-rm1ie7mp2g 3 месяца назад

I bought the Oneplus 12 over the Fold 5 because I can't any RU-vidr talk about how much it will cost to replace the inside screen. I don't have $300 lying around for insurance either. Don't want to buy the Fold 5 and later have to pay over $300 just to fix the inside screen. My first Android phone is the Oneplus 12. I'm a iphone fan boy since the iphone 3.

@TacoTechTalk 3 месяца назад

Very fair point. For some switching to android I wouldn't recommend a foldable anyways, to much change in both the hardware and software experience. But Welcome to Android. Oneplus 12 is a very good phone to welcome you to the green side!

Not fully. Im back to using android, was on the pixel 8 pro currently on the s23 ultra. Watch is a galaxy watch to go with the s23 ultra. I use windows for work and a MacBook for RU-vid. I use galaxy tablets and for earbuds it's a mix between Sony Wf-1000xm4s, galaxy buds, or my air pods depending on what I'm doing. So it's a mix. lol

had to return the fold 5. Front screen is too narrow, and strains the eye

@TacoTechTalk 8 месяцев назад

Damn, that’s understandable, hoping they make a version similarly sized to the Oneplus Open, I’d be more than inclined to get that version

a dream, but it's still very expensive and I'm very afraid of breaking it 😅

I'm just being hard and honest. Its always a love hate relationship with Folds. I love them for the different experience and multitasking capabilities. But then for my normal usage which for me is watching RU-vid, texting, or scrolling socials, I miss a regular slab sized phone.

@xDJaack 8 месяцев назад

Opens up pretty much fully is a worrying statement.😂 if I spend that much on a Folding phone then I'd expect it to open fully especially after only a couple of months!😂

@TacoTechTalk 8 месяцев назад

I meant it more that you don't have to force it to open fully flat, from past experience with previous folds and seeing other reviews, there's a chance that overtime and sometimes rather quickly the hinge does not fully open flat on its own and you have to not force it but give it an extra push. But I totally get your point, yes with how much they cost you expect to not have this issue

@xDJaack 8 месяцев назад

@@TacoTechTalk agh I see how it was meant now, thank you for clarifying. 👍 Durability and longevity are the only things holding me back from just going for it. Great video as always, keep it up! 👍😎

@Gamer_85 8 месяцев назад

it's not though

@TacoTechTalk 8 месяцев назад

I'd love to try the OnePlus Open but the more reviews I watch the more my excitement dies down. It's the software for me, yes the hardware looks amazing and one may argue potentially better than the Z Fold 5, but Samsung's one UI software specifically for foldable is unmatched imo

@theo5675 8 месяцев назад

Its over hyped the one plus the Samsung still has better screens and performance its got the better binned chip
