Samsung Z Fold 5 'Shock Dispersion Layer' FINALLY REVEALED! 

Like foldables or not, you still have to appreciate the engineering that goes in those hinges

After working with computers etc for over 4 decades I'd love to travel back in time to the 80's with one of these in my pocket! We seem to take it for granted but not so long ago this tech would be science fiction!!

"With the screen successfully unsuccessfully removed" 🤣🤣🤣

The battery pull tab is great for reparability, but it's a little odd how Samsung has put them on a model where it seems impossible to remove either screen without destroying them.

0:46 And me since I am 70% water 😂😂😂

I have this phone and it hurt my soul to see the inner screen get mangled lol. It's first folding phone and I love it.

I laughed too hard at “since I’m 70% water” 😂

It really is interesting to see what's inside a folding phone, thanks jerry!

Hey Zack. What do you do with the parts/pieces after a tear down? Recycle? Sell them to repair shops? Plant them in the raised beds and hope for a new crop?

The engineering of this thing is pretty insane to be fair

I have never seen the inside of any cell phones, let alone the Z Fold 5. Impressive! I have no idea what most of the guts are, but it sure was fascinating to watch. This was the first video from your channel that I have watched. I am intrigued, and have subscribed 👍

I thought shock dispersion made me think of a 3DS lower screen made of soft clear material, but I was wrong though. 😅 My mom bought this Z fold 5 already and we have to be careful not to accidentally break it. It's amazing lil folding gadget Mom enjoys taking calls without huge battery drains. 😊😊 But also taking pictures of her garden and sharing with friends.

Got the s23ultra couldn't be happier! I swear the newer ones made later in the year have 0 display issues like earlier. Coming from the s21 ultra my s23 ultra has even more color. No bubbles on the panel either! They definitely listened to the complaints and changed the panels. It's so dang good and crispy!

Love the lil Jon and Eastside boys reference of that is what that was. "from the window to wall" 😂

That was cool to see. Amazing how they come up with that engineering

Fabulous teardown Zack! Thank you!

"Now, as an adult, you can go out whenever you want, but here we both are" Jerry you crack me up, thanks man

That hinge is pretty impressive.

The way you tear down these expensive phones so mercilessly it really hearts breaking, but still its satisfying and informative.

From the window... To the wall... at 6:30 got me rollin... Bravo sir!

It's really sturdy. I like it.

Still remember the day I watched your teardown video for the first time and feeling bad for the phone. Not anymore though. Now, it just satisfies my curiosity.

*Love your videos. Keep up the good work 👍*

I like the labelling on the ribbon cables, seems to me like a W for repairability

Would love to see a side by side video of the fold 3,4,5, hinges, and see what the differences are.

I have enormous respect for Samsung for developing the foldable phone and taking the phone tech ahead .. as people are about to get bored on regular " pro" screens; imagine if we had to wait for Apple; it feels like no more lead forward after the original iPhone release. It's all about their profit margin,

Loving the humour in this video. Well done

Watching these videos never gets easier

"From the window, to the wall" Damnit, now that song will be on my mind for the rest of the evening

_"From the window...._ _to the wall...._ 😏" *Well* played, sir. 😅

Thanks for showing me how to replace my screen!👍🏼

You said z flip a 10:10 😊. Watching you take that beauty apart was mesmerizing. Thank you

Love your content. Keep up the great work!

It's always nice to see the teardown of a phone you own. (Watching on a Z Fold 5)

ini yang selalu saya tunggu. terimakasih bang jerry 😊. semoga sehat selalu . dan dilancarkan segala usahanya ❤

I like the surgical precision that was applied in this video.

If a company tells Zack exactly what their phone has, he just can't have their word for granted, he wants to check that himself 🤣

As a Samsung technician, i'd say the 5th generation of Samsung foldables are quite flimsy to work on. Flip 5 is a bit easier opening up with basic tools, but the fold 5 sub Octa screen (small screen) needs special equipment as it sits flash into the frame and the tape adhesive used on it holds too much. Same case with the Samsung S9 ultra tablet, adhesive design is quite tricky. Technicians stay alert!

when i worked at a repair store all of the flip fold screen repairs meant taking the innerds of the host phone and putting it in a new phone since taking the screen off isn't worth potential damage. It also helped that all of these repairs were warranty repairs

you have underrated voiceover talent, so funny

From personal experience as a former repair tech, the fold 4 required alcohol and heat to soften the adhesive to safely remove the front screen. I assume the 5 is the same way

Glad to see the foldable phones improving a little with each generation

Love The Knives! 😎 Amazing Engineering!

Jerry never disappoint to rig everything

0:27: 📱 The Samsung z-fold 5 is difficult to take apart, with a well-attached plastic bumper around the flexible screen. 3:47: 🔧 The teardown reveals the components and construction of the Samsung phone. 7:51: 🔧 The teardown of the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra reveals the absence of thermal paste and the complex structure of the new flex hinge.

Casually says " from the window , to the wall " 😂😂😂

Wow the engineering behind those hinges are awsome

It kills me that the sim card tray still gets you lol. I really enjoy your videos, good work bro. 👍🏻

“We should start seeing screws if we enter using the correct direction.” Me overthinking 😂

Wow! Keep it up. I love that there enthusiasts are actually showing the insides and physical strengths of products

Appreciate the info

The sass levels in this one are too high 🙌🔥🔥 and i love it

I've been a note user since I can remember, but I'm finding myself really wanting this phone lately.

Rise and shine, it's "taking apart the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 to reveal all its guts" time! Have fun!!

Omg, taking parts from you to these phones would be awesome :P

Just ordered one of your jerryrigeverything knives can’t wait to get it

Hey Zack, owner of Flip 4 here, the microscopic sand that got into the hinge actually IS an issue. The reason is that once it's there, after you use it for a couple of weeks, the ribbons that connect the halves of the phone get sanded away. So my phone, after some dust got inside and it was working seemingly fine for a while, first had it's microphone disconnected, then the screen, then the screen had magically reconnected, so I used it without a working mic for a while, but after another few weeks, the lower battery started disconnecting, so when I fold the phone, it turns off immediately and shows bad battery. And you know what? To replace those ribbons, that cost 25 centa each, is the same as replacing the entire screen with the phone body, which costs hundreds of dollars, because guess what everything is glued shut and none of those parts any repair services are willing to replace on their own. So please tell about that to your subscribers next time. Thanks for your video :) I'll be trying to fix my flip 4 myself by swapping the working screen into a donor phone soon, we'll see how it goes, hope isopropyl alcohol helps :)

I bought a Z Fold 5 last week. I'm happy with it. Although, it is pretty expensive but my trade in knocked off $800 from the price.

thumbs up for the 70% water joke, made my Friday! 😂

Nice phone. Nice teardown.

THUMBS UP FOR BATTERY PULL TABS!!!!

Xiaomi unveiled their fold phone to have such technology but on the hinge (It flexes when the phone is dropped on the hinge to disperse the impact over a larger surface area). It would be nice to have some slo-mo shots of the phones being dropped and actually seeing how it behaves under stress

I'm 70% water 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣. Zach is hilarious sometimes. Yet still so monotone. I love it!

the hinge is incredible simple, very different of what i thought.

Literally a table 😂

5:13 I'll pull out the NFC coil which works. Not confused with NFTs, which doesn't work 😅

This is really satisfying 👏

I just love your small jokes sprinkled just perfectly in your videos! ❤

Hey Zack you mention in all you're teardowns about the speaker foam balls. Next time you teear down a phone, could you empty both speakers of there foamballs before puting the phone back and test how the sound changes when the speakers has balls and no balls :)

"With the screen successfully unsuccessfully removed" this made me laugh so hard idek why 😂😂

We need either asmr or a podcast from this guy, it could put all of us to sleep

Hey Jerry, I bought your razer knife in green, and I just wanted to let you know that I absolutely love it and I will definitely be buying another one!

5:53 - 10 out of 10 is too generous. If it had a removable battery like my Note 4, then it would be worthy of a 10.

Just warranty replaced my Fold 4 for a second time in a year. The first time, it just shut off and stopped working, would not power on. In my research many of the first ones had a problem with the lego connector of one of the ribbons not being set well at manufacturing and they were poping loose fairly early on. I think that was a manufacturing flaw that was fixed relatively quickly. The second one I just replaced today had the dreaded won't open all the way problem. I think as his video shows, fine dirt will get into the hinge area and gum up the works. So kept using with just the slight bend 175° when open, annoying but everything still worked. Problem though after a few months using like this the built in screen protector started to peal up down the middle to the point 1 inch strip hovering over the screen. Many said once you get to that happening repair/replacement or the internal screen will crack and they will say it was your fault. Verizon Extended warranty is covering this one. I think the next innovation the Fold 6 should have is the screws that hold the rear hinge center section, or spine, should be on the outside. So a technician without removing any displays or back glass could remove that spine of the fold while closed, and could vacuum/compressed air clean out the hinge of fine dirt and dust, completely, then graphite lubricate the now clean hinges and the phone would lay flat again. Simply have 6 or 8 tiny security torx screws come in from the outside, make reparability of the hinges much better for the fact they are NOT Dust proof in this area.

I really appreciate to engineer that can put many electronic item and mechanism which is high technology inside very thin body and body strong enough for using in everyday life 👍

That hinge is really amazing engineering creation

My fold 2's battery is expanding, it already opened up the rear cover on its own so that battery is easily replaceable, but seeing how hard it is to remove the front display in one piece even with a lot of heat I don't know if i want to remove the screen now 😮

6:21 - Get low (to the windows, and the walls, to the walls, till sweat drops down ma b----)

Crazy how Zack has desensitized us, we watch expensive phones get destroyed like it's nothing. All for the sake of educating us to be more electronics savvy

As always, Superb video. You can make any video very interesting and hilarious too

This makes me wonder about the new EU regulations going in effect in a few years where every phone needs to have a removable battery. Seeing this teardown, all the things you have to do, to just get to the battery is insane. It's not like it used to be, like with a Samsung S5, pop the back open and take the battery out. Those were the days.

Apple is going to have a tough time keeping up when and if they make a foldable.

"If I had more than two thumbs......" Who is this guy 😂😂😂. Never disappoints ❤

every time I watch your awesome videos, I find you are a good Comedian!!! you got me all the time!!! good one!!! you should go to standing comedy club!

Wonderful teardown. This is such an amazing phone. Congratulations to Zach on reaching 7.8 million subscribers.

Usually when buying replacement parts original Samsung you get the display mounted in the housing already so you just switch the insides over. We never repair the foldables though since they are so damn sensitive and too much work sadly. We need to count in the time in the repair and it is not economical with these models i'm afraid.

I enjoy the commentary,thanks

Very entertaining as usual. 😊

Would have been cool from Samsung to have a message for Zack in that device, maybe on the silkscreen of a pcb. Something like: "Zack we have heard you, pull tabs for everyone." And then him discovering that. That would be priceless.

It's interesting to see how the interconnect ribbon cable folds. It divides the 180° into 3 sections. Ensuring that the cable does not bend more than 60° which should translate to greater durability and more folds before metal fatigue sets in. The pen digitizer feels like a wasted effort. Last I checked with a buddy of mine who owns a f4, he keeps it at home, doesn't find much use of it and wanted to give his away.

Wow im very impressed. Thanks for the video

Never thought I'd day something like this but those are some neat Lil hinges

Just when I think phones can't possibly get more unrepairable, I see a video like this.

Wait, if those 2 separate golden panels were digitizers, does that mean the spen doesn't work in the space between the 2 sides of the inner screen? 🤔

"Not to be confused with nft which dont work" made me smile 😂 5:15

Amazing video! Thank you!

Now that's what we call can claim as a "tear"down.

Honestly, the Honor you shown recently looked a LOT better. Better reparability and looks better too in my opinion. Still... This was an interesting teardown. Sad to see them overlook a few things for a flagship phone that a lot of people would buy to last a few years.

You sir do the best ASMR videos!

Holy moly, that's one wild hinge! 😁
