Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 - 5 Months Later! 

Please make a OnePlus Open review

best phone ive ever owned .. used the s series from samsung before but ive never gotten a full day of use.. the fold 5 lasts all day with ease

Nice phone 😉. Just near my bed I watch what ever I want and easy to focus. Lots of fun. 💫

And what about hinge ? Are you able to open full ?

@@Mannu3344 yes still can. It's like brand new. I think there's a huge difference between Fold 4 and Fold 5

what if you drop it ? with that screen on the front

From a durability perspective And a z3 veteran user you are U have s23u From day one Now it's been a year I'm a Samsung fan And a heavy gamer I got an offer to pay 500usd and trade in my s23 u for fold 5 Tell me please your honest opinion it's important to me

@2Nelly4 Sorry for the late reply! But from a durability perspective, the Z Fold 3 held up nicely! In fact we had countless times recording our videos where the basketball came crashing towards the tri pod and it took a couple of spills on concrete from 5 feet off the ground! It absolutely worked fine for me after those falls. Also, I always 'washed' my z fold 3 with water just to keep it free from oil cause I always loved admiring that big ol' tablet screen but would hate it when it had smudges. Never had any water damage or anything (and I would wash it like twice a week with just water). Now moving on to the Z Fold 5.... this thing is a beast. IT has handled a couple of falls from the tripod like a champ (just like the Z Fold 3 did) and from a gaming perspective, this thing runs emulators so much better than the Z Fold 3 ever did. A real world test that I always use to gauge how well a phone can handle emulators is by running Virtua Fighter 4 and NFL 2k5 on a PS2 emulator (AetherSX2 is the best PS2 emulator on android). Reason being, I have some gaming laptops that actually had problems running both of those games. Long story short.... the Z Fold 5 runs both Virtua Fighter 4 and NFL 2K5 as smoothly as some of my gaming laptops!!! One game that I was suprised it could run is the original Ratchet and Clank which was IMPOSSIBLE for every device I've ever attempted it on. But honestly... the Z Fold 5 is a gamers dream come true. I connect a PS5 controller to it and it's a dream come true on travel (I get stares all the time) where I play countless emulators and when on WiFi, I remote play my PS5 and the games look ABSOLUTELY AMAZING on it. As far as productivity... I do quite a bit on this phone other than create content for me and my son's channel as a hobby. I work from home for the Dr. Lisa Company and pretty much do everything on it lol. Excel spread sheets, word documents, pdf editing, even some photoshop-esque things. The Z Fold 5 is like the greatest phone experience I've ever had lol. I hope that answers your question!! If you liked my reply give our channel a sub LOL.

Any crease problem? I heard older model crease become very visible after long usage which is a really big flaw

Big improvement?? Really?😂😂

You should try one plus open it blows this out the water trust me 👍

Yeah I'd say that's the first time if you had the fold 4 absolutely don't upgrade .same camera hardware.. same design , slightly lighter and flatter hinge design isn't a big improvement fold 5 is good but big improvement is a stretch

​@@qoryazkia9191I think it's just ppl trying to justify their purchase the fold 5 is good but probably was the most modest upgrade out of all the flagships this year

Doesn't look like, i'll stick with my Fold 4 and upgrade to 6 maybe :D

I'm honestly not surprised. The phones only started breaking when they introduced ultra thin glass, which yours doesn't have.

Me too. I'm using a Fold 1 and S21 Ultra. I just ordered the Fold 5 last night.

lol

@@adeetard2545 other fold used glass? I didnt know

Yup perfect for one handed use and just holding the phone in general.

Just switched over today. Dont see myself changing back either.

​@@MrTwinkies2010 really goes to show how far theyve come. The people who used to buy the first 2 gens didnt seem so sure at the time and I think rightfully so.

Absolutely agree!! Will never go back to regular phone. The form factor is great!! One handed operation I really like. Side finger print scanner... awesome, much better then finger print on my ultra 23

But have you dropped it yet?

​@youngdizzp I have dropped mine several times and on different surfaces, and each time I thought that was the end of my fold5, I pick bit up surprised that there wasn't even a scratch on it. Of course I have a case on it, the one from Samsung and I must say that case is quite underrated.

Same but I moved from mini 12 to android and after some regular 6.1 6.3 androids got this one. Couldn't be happier

Same here. No more fruit for me.....

Indeed the narrow screen actually is nice. Just nice for single hand use

I have big hands and I still find it really great to use z fold 5 is just a beast

I always thought I wished the fold 5 was wider like the oneplus open but after using I now understand why Samsung has chosen to go for a slimmer phone

Gripes such as?

Narrower front screen, durability, and battery life mainly...of which I've had no problems

What about the cameras?

Man these American trade ins make me so madddddd

@shriharit6357 Cameras are just fine for me. It's mainly ly the chip that does the processing I stead of hardware. I don't get the zoom of the S22 but I dont mind. I'm not a hard-core photographer 😅

Interesting you say that because the Tab S9 Ultra and Fold 5 have been a killer combo for me as well as far as productivity and getting things done quicker

Love how well landscape works with that game

@@nathansstuff1547 it works flawlessly. Portrait mode has always been preffered way to play any mobile games. But being able to open my phone up in Nikke, and run landscape seamlessly is so nice. I will say most games dont do that seamlessly, but for nikke specifically, this phone is just that much better

14 months of using my fold 4 and my outer and inner display crashed on me..4 times already..the folding feature of the phone Is still far from perfect and unreliable...its so sad that i have to let go and move on from it already.😡😔

I've had no problems with my fold 3 which I'm still using to this date only needed a new screen protector for the big screen I out on a white stone screen protector had no other problems

I had screen protector issues on the Fold 3. In 2 years I went through 2 Protectors. Keep in mind I didn't open it that often.

@S5King7 which screen did you use that matters I used a Whitestone if all I got to complain about is a screen protector not mad at all about the fold even with the problems others have with it it's still going be real hard learning the fold

@cellaa70 I also had a Whitestone, no problems with that. My issue was with the plastic protector that came with the phone on the inside screen. Lasted 1 year, then had several bubbles that eventually cracked. Replaced once for free. Replacement one cracked after 9 months and the Samsung warranty wouldn't replace it again.

Also like you mentioned in your video at 14:27. The only downside I would have with the fold 5 is you can't use the s-pen on the outter screen. That's really the only thing that would bother me. Other than that this is the best phone ever invented currently in my opinion
