Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 - Why I'm Switching! 

Any links for UK audience?

Seem like US is getting the better deals and trade in value.

@@asgharm3354 You don't get anything in the UK, not even some buds. Luckily I've got a note so I'll get something off the price

Plz give me 🙏🙏

@@crnofficial9240 ....you don't get something for nothing anymore

thats the comment i was looking for. i am business owner and have add. i was wondering between z fold 3 or ultra 22. i will get the z fold 3.thnks

yeah, I'm convinced that those seemingly minor changes are gonna make it perfect.. gonna upgrade from the fold 3 and I think I'll be good with it for a few years

@GH0STST4RSCR34M lol you would just lose the bet and then never pay me.. fold 3 was the first new phone I bought since like 2006.. every other phone I ever got was refurbished.. so now you can pretend like you would have paid when you lost the bet

Check out the Xiaomi fold 2 though.

@GH0STST4RSCR34M yeah let's hope the fold isn't so garbage that I need to downgrade after a while

I wanted it to be bigger, slimmer, with less bezel, no camera bump, I like big big screens

Agreed and I upgrade every year lol

With the small changes they seem to be making with the fold every year I'll upgrade in 3-4 years time. Its not worth upgrading your phone after every 1 year anyway, waste of money

Disagree entirely. You should consider it: I just upgraded to the Fold 4 from the Fold 3. The deal was too good. Samsung trade-in credit $1000 for my ZF3. Plus the $200 early reservation credit AND automatic $100 256 gb upgrade to 512 GB storage. So that got me a FREE pair Galaxy Buds 2 Pro, S-pen, Case w/ S-pen holder, and additional slim silicone case. And 0% for 24 months if you choose to finance. Would be crazy not to.

@@ModernMan23 Not all countries offer this. And even if I'm to pay just 200 extra dollars to upgrade to the fold 4. I don't see it being worth it. The only real world differences are Possibly better battery Better camera And bigger front display I have no issue with the fold 3s camera at all. I have gotten stunning images out of it. And the front display doesn't bother me at all either. So for me. An upgrade just isn't worth it. Maybe fold 5

Nah bro I see a teeny Crack forming on my inside display along the hinge. Time to upgrade

does the ultrawide lens have autofocus here?

you must be rich

Dude ur smoking crack! This new fold 4 has tons of little changes to justify buying one. U only live once, buy it and enjoy it and dont look back!!!!

@@kellyzier8412 dude already did, he said it

@@auliaabidharma904 I think they meant it the opposite way around but didn't word it well.

@@cazz8017 No -- Samsung makes the upgrades very worthwhile from the previous generations.

They include a pen inside a case so thats almost there

How would they tho?

As a note user since note 1. I do not miss the note housed pen. The larger full sized pen is much much better. My pen clips on the edge of my fold 3 in its case so it still lays flat

@@apadre19 By making a silo to hold the spen just like they do with the Note.

They didn't innovate anything. That bar is part of Android 12L that was designed for large screens. It's part of the OS.

@@KellicTiger Yet samsung is one of the only manufacturers that emphasizes it and uses it using Dex, and desktop features. Although android may have the original barebones design, Samsung actually enhances the features and makes the features actually useful, not just easter egg like features that are easily forgotten.

@TOM literally

@TOM what module in goodlock has it?

@@KellicTiger and it was designed specifically for Samsung by Google. Samsung had to make a huge commitment to Google with foldables for Google to had make the L version.

Lovely my z fold 2 as well!!! Do you have the inside screen protector on?

@@JRBowling1997 yes, I took the outside one off after a year. But the inside one is on. It has bubbled a little at the bottom of the crease but I can't be bothered getting it replaced.

if you have watched some battery drain videos the z fold 4 outlasts the behemoth s22 ultra and pushes its way to 9hrs 18 min while s22 ultra 8hrs 56 min

@@ezronthelegend hmm, which display is it on tho? I am sure the inner main display with its size would takes up more battery

@@WizzyTheDizzy the video they are referring to was the inner display being used.

@@KyleRBean wow using the whole inner panel and lasts that long?? Damn that's ridiculously good

@@WizzyTheDizzy i also mentioned z filp 4 what about that it was close to the z fold

How's the durability been? Any issues?

I had the 13 pro max and just got the fold 4 just yesterday its crazy in a good way lol

@@smoke5373how do you like the fold so far?… I have an iPhone 14 pro Max but I want a Fold it’s so dope!! But how is it as your daily driver?

2024 - still a beast

Exactly this, just been speaking to one of my work reps from Android and Samsung and they just confirmed the fold 2 and 3 will have this in coming months with a update 👍

What's Android 12L?

@@gigahertzmedia734 It's a version of Android specifically built for larger devices like tablets, or in this case the Fold

Actually, one can claim that its from Samsung. Samsung heavily influences Google when it comes to Android with the features it releases. Some even say that Samsung owns half of Google. Evidence of this influence is Samsung having exclusive features beforr Google even releases them to their own Pixel phones.

@@cajairo187 Thanks

Its a screen protector, just take it off

@@eleasaralanis9592 it's not a screen protector. It's the actually digital screen. If I'm wording that right.

I agree with you, im on my 2nd fold 3 already cause the same thing happened to me. And I barely use the inner screen right now, so not really worth having the fold currently. Thinking about going to the s22 ultra for now..since my phone provider has a good trade in special for black friday. Then go back to the fold when the 5 comes out..depending how good it is.

I did and got the same! I'm excited too!

@@michaelr6182 That is great . So happy for. Now I hope we love this fold.

I didn't see any free earbuds! They gave me free memory upgrade tho

I'm gonna miss this camera though

One perk of the preorder is a free case with pen!

u rich bro,

@@onlinejfkru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-yNuFYhjhanA.html nah man, that damn pen gets in the way not being flat in the back. I'm a power user and all for the pen but not a fan of this setup like that. I did attached the pen to the back on my Fold 3 in a similar fashion.

@@thevoid11223 well obviously

yeah, because rich guys sit on yutub giving comments...

The fold phone isnt necessary anyway bro

@@lukeplunkett4259 Doesn't matter as long as that's what they want

I'd say zfold 4 is a nice upgrade the snapdragon 8+ gen 1 makes it a nice upgrade the processor is well optimized like your getting 15-20% better battery despite battery being the same size, no heating issues and a better gaming experience as well as the camera which is a good upgrade, because of the processor being well optimized your not only getting a smoother and a faster fold but despite the camera being s22/s22+ in many areas does it atleast compete with the s22 ultra if not it even beats the s22 ultra in areas such as 3× zoom being better on zfold 4 than the s22 ultra and a slightly better video recording capability than the s22 ultra and another good upgrade is a wider cover display although I still find it very narrow and wish it was even wider like a 21:9 would be a great upgrade I find the zflip which has a 22:9 pretty narrow but 23.5:9 is still a nice upgrade from a 24.5:9 aspect ratio, hopefully we will see a 5000mAh battery next year and the s23 ultra sensors to make the ultra more ultra rather than less ultra. From the zfold 2 to the zfold 3 the only important thing we gained was durability and water resistant and spen as an extra I use the spen alot but from the marketing point only 5% of the users would even know that the zfold has spen support as it comes seperate if they atleast include it in the box as an external accessory would sell well they should include the Bluetooth spen fold edition in the box and make it the size of the fold edition spen.

Did you make the change? I don't think I'm going to get the big phablet of a phone. The ultra 22 with built-in s pen it seems more powerful and big enough a better value for the money for me. I'm not sure yet though.

I think the Google foldable is still quite a way off.

I wonder if there's something to this idea I just had, but probably not it's probably stupid: what if they just put 1 big screen on one side of the phone (unfolded phone) and had it fold the opposite way, so that the screen is the outside, and when you fold it up you just use half the screen, whichever half is facing upward or w/e. Then instead of putting a 2nd screen on the phone, they could focus on one, and if the 1 main big screen was corner to corner, then when you have the phone folded and use just that half of the screen, it would be like 45% of the full screen, meaning it would be pretty big. I say 45% because you lose the middle part as it would just be a curvey part going around the hinge. This is probably a stupid idea because then your screen would be like your phones shell / outside...there would be no way to protect it. But idk if some day they found a way to make screens insanely strong then this might be a good idea lol.

Also now that I think about it it would probably stretch the middle of the screen out every time you close it and that probably wouldn't be good. Yeah this idea is pretty dumb haha

I just left my S21 for the Fold 4. I'll never go back, the versatility can't be beat.

$100 discount also if you watch the live videos ongoing

I got all of that for 900 bucks

Can you tell me how you got this offer ? Is it available in the uk ?

America isn't the only country in the world. Most other countries have shit trade in deals

@@goldensilverstar i live in US but forgot to mention i traded in my zflip3

I just got one very unique phone!

Are you still happy with the phone?

@moturcu4226 no it has a fat black stipe going down the middle were it folds and not working

@@centralcal6604 Thanks.

Yeah, I currently have the Fold 3 and am most likely going to the S22 Ultra, and then hopefully will go back when the 5 comes out..depending how much of a upgrade it is. I have barely used the inner screen of my fold plus I am already on my 2nd one. How have you liked the S22U compared to the fold 3? And is the cameras really better and battery life?

Nice. Some of the preorder deals are insane

Are you still happy with the phone?

@@moturcu4226 I'm an avid photographer so aside from the mediocre cameras, the experience of having such a large screen for media consumption was amazing. Sadly, i traded it in for the S24 Ultra mainly for the flagship cameras lol

Smart idea!

I have an S22 Ultra and the Tab 7FE and it's absolutely perfect. I love the set up. And having my notes from one sync with my other is fantastic. I definitely recommend that set up.

Ah well, I use the fold 2 still and honestly, I still don't see any reason to switch even to the fold 4. It even has a bigger battery (4,500mAh), it has louder stereo speakers, I don't care for the S-Pen (barely use the one for my S21 anyway) or splash resistance rating coz mine has got some unintentional splashes and is still great ( I'd never deep the fold 4 in water anyway). Let's see what the fold 5 offers...hehe.

Are you still happy with the phone?

@@moturcu4226 i am happy performance is great, although it did dropped down and screen is broken. Cost was 700 euros to fix...

I came from the iphone 11pro max. And I love the fold4. Battery life is way better than I expected

Then give the food 3 to me lol

Still don't understand why it isn't movable to any side you want imo

@@nomore-constipation The current side bar can be positioned to the left or right side already: settings - display - edge panel - handle - position - left or right

@arvandvarahram I'm saying why wasn't it an option originally. Seems weird especially when there are other side tool bars people use on Samsung devices

@@nomore-constipation I am a bit confused. Latest since Galaxy S4 (9 years ago) you have been able to position the side bar either on left or right: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-oczjxh1AOLk.html

@arvandvarahram I'm saying on the Fold specifically not other Galaxy Series. I'm saying I don't understand with a tool bar that important. Why didn't it get the ability to swap on any side since the beginning. Sorry for the confusion

There are websites that will let you compare the two side by side and it will give you a percentage as to which category is better in each phone.

Try nano tech review for the best comparison

Did u switch? How is it? I'm thinking of getting it but love my note 20 too😢

What switching means for people who don't have endless money:5 years with the same phone.

What switching means for RU-vidr : More money because people click "why I'm switching" and "why I was WRONG" videos

I was thinking about the 3...Do they have any type of case😂 probably a stupid question on a fold phone but can we admit that phones have came a long way and its awsome

Ya I'm not upgrading they need add spen support front screen and really really improve inside screen I just used my manufacturers warranty get them replace the glass on my zfold3 cost exactly 0 thx samsung but it was not painless I had to bitch a bunch to better business bureau lol they then called treating me with kid gloves loved it

Use Goodlock, and you'll have apps on the task bar empty space on left

Fr those wallpapers are. Fire 🔥

It wasn't covered under warranty?

@@myfakeguuglaccount8307 It was, but Assurent said it was a T Mobile issue because it was considered a mechanical issue or something of that sort. And of course T mobile said it was covered by insurance. I went back and for several times before I just threw my hands up on it and traded it in with my JUMP.

@@areacharlottejukebox I meant Samsung warranty?

@@myfakeguuglaccount8307 I didn't think about going to them, since I got it from T Mobile and not directly from Sammy

@@areacharlottejukebox Ah. Yes, it wouldn't have mattered where you purchased it; it's a manufacturer warranty. I'm surprised neither T-Mobile nor Assuriant directed you to them. Oh well.

How did you get the watch5 pro for that price?

honestly, dont do it man you could buy a decent tablet for 800 dollars and keep your badass phone

For me it was the same. In the end, I couldn't justify paying that much for a meager upgrade. Hoping the Fold 5 is more substantial. If you still on the fence, I wouldn't do it. Nowadays, nothing short of a sure bet would make me spend my money.

people wear a screen on their wrist as well 🤦‍♂ get a Tudor or a Omega or something.

Samsung offered $925 for original fold. Bought one one eBay for $390. If you did it thru Samsung n did Orig fold 1st n S22 Ultra 2nd, you get 1625 trade in. I did that n chose Watch 5 Pro n Buds2 Pro which I'll sell bc I don't need it. My net cost after trade in n selling off watch n Buds prob will be sub $400

Those chinese brands are nice Ive used A handful~ the Y Are not durable or reliable whatsoever

I never notice the crease and it doesn't bother my drawing

Same here. Especially with the lousy trade in offers in the UK.

Who tf changes fon every year bruhh 🤣🤣

same here, just paid 975$CAD for my Fold 3 on Marketplace

Isn't everyone who is doing foldables going to the 9:21 aspect ratio? The apps all need to be set up to a standard. Otherwise you get thicc bezels

@@nomore-constipation @NoMore Constipation the great thing about the fold is that you have both a phone and a tablet at the same time. The tablet part of the experience is great when you're settled in but when you're out and about, it's a lot more convenient to just use the front screen. Having a wider front screen allows you to have a more normal smartphone experience, which is lacking in the fold3 as the screen is much too narrow.

@Mansur I get that. I understand, but online thr developers need a standard. I agree it needs to be bigger especially on the outside because typing was a pain (too narrow for keyboard typing) I think Samsung is just trying not to have any bezels which complicates it

A definite switch for me!

Ummmm im getting a fold 4 bro! U will be missing some of the improvements and besides your phone is older😂..

@@RandzWRX oh no the phone is 1 year old! Tragedy! ,🙄

@@justabruin I heard that the fold 3 is only getting updates for the next year, maybe 2 while the fold 4 is guaranteed for updates for the next 5 years so that's also a big reason why you might have no choice but to switch over

People that buy the fold 4 will obviously want to justify why they bought it and yes it maybe slightly better but it is basically the same phone lol.

Just received mine. Outerscreen deffo makes a difference

@@deacontigra can I ask how you (and others) received yours early?

The taskbar still works even with gestures. I saw it in a video recently

800? How?

@@goldensilverstar By trading in my Fold 3. They're giving hella good trade in deals. Gave me $1000 for my Fold 3 and I think $65 for my Watch 4. All the extras I got were free because I pre-ordered.

How has your fold 3 held up? I'm wanting to upgrade from my S21 Ultra, but torn between the S22 Ultra and the fold 4. I really want to get the fold but worried about the constant opening and closing wearing out the screen.

@@codynator15 tbh, I'd go for the fold. Mine has held up quite well for me rocking it caseless. Coworker even dropped it in marinara too🤣

@@codynator15 I would go with the fold especially if you live in Europe because exynos is absolute shit compared to Snapdragon. Plus the camera are decent but sometimes I feel like they could do better. Obviously the screen and design are excellent however it's processing power is rubbish compared with the Snapdragon version

How did you get the watch? What phone provider

@@cornbread2418 Sorry should have mentioned I live in Australia. One of our providers Telstra has this deal.

@@random-vl1li Pretty awsome how the internet let's me talk to someone that far away👍 I have T mobile here..They would never offer a watch those mfs would probably raise my bill just to do it

Same reason I hated my fold 3 by the end. I didn't like using it to message people or type as I either had a cramped outer screen or a wide opened up one which I struggled to get used to typing on. If the typing experience is better I'd be very tempted as well

That outer screen is basically the same as the fold 3 lol

I have the same issue like you fallas so tempted to buy this bad boy

@@genarogonzalez1932 if u have the fold 3 it's useless to upgrade. So disappointed

Learn type with Swype, not tapping is so much easier and one handed . Btw why not just use mic to enter messages so many ppl forget they can talk to their phone

If ur asking if it's noticeable when ur using it it's not. You can't see it. If u are using it outside u can notice it but its not distracting.

Where did you find the burgundy one?

I’ve been an iPhone user since launch. I’ve really considered swapping but the only thing I’m not ready to give up is iMessage and FaceTime!

Same. The iphone 15 is rumored to switch to usb-c, among other updates. Since I’ve had the 12, just haven’t felt like I’m getting my money’s worth with this phone. A fingerprint sensor is something my current phone misses badly. Inconsistent facial recognition for what you’re paying for can be frustrating

@@michaelrreeves yup! Luckily I do have an iPad and Macbook for those, but it would not be linked to a phone number if i switched over

@@manindergill1457 I have an iPad Pro and Mac book as well, I’ve been thinking about just trying it for a year, then pay it off if I don’t likenitn

@@michaelrreeves I’m with ya on that. That’s exactly where I’m at too…hahaha

I'd rather see them fix durability. The screen protector on the 3 peeled for no reason. And if you used a 3rd party one it damaged the screen.

@GH0STST4RSCR34M If you think I'm alone go search online. Maybe stop being a troll and tool. If you own a foldable then you should know this isn't an isolated issue. Samsung is not giving you a screen easily. People have shows they use close up photos and won't cover the repairs

@@nomore-constipation Samsung has already made several statements on how they improved the screen protector
