The first problem you mentioned with Tiktok is scaling problem that exists for all foldables, it's up to the app developer to optimize the app for it.

​@@nidhungl9334how would Samsung control the sizing settings app devs put in their apps? All Samsung can do is force apps to full screen, blowing up the size settings, resulting in exactly what you're seeing in this video. Google decided not to force this but instead shame app developers who don't support large screens by keeping their apps in the original size, even on the bigger display.

@@TheRealCoolElho Oh god the flexipai made me sad. There was no way that thing would ever be practical unless they made some new kind of super screen that can never get scratched.

The construction of this cell phone is perfect, you can barely even notice the fold on the screen

You can turn off wallpaper dimming in settings - display - darkmode settings more options

The customisation you do to all your devices is actually really cool! It kinda shows that you like changing things a lot.

I like the idea of having a second bigger screen to watch videos/movies, and this device has the greatest design, and it feels more solid than the others foldable devices, but I think the developers should optimize the apps for the bigger screen, to fit more information.

If anyone has a foldable and uses it for note-taking, I'm genuinely curious, how's the experience compared to a tablet/iPad?

We're here for the long form videos

love your vids mate, keep up the hard work 💪🏼

I got hooked to your videos on shots. I am only starting to watch the longer formats now.

The wallpaper dimming is probably to reduce burn-in. Actually a really great idea!

4:55 you can do the same thing on the Z Fold by pinning the Files app to the taskbar. Oh, and dragging files works uploading to Google Drive (make sure youre dragging the file to a folder in Drive, not to.the overview screen).

Awesome 🔥🔥

extremely comprehensive, impressive. others don't go to that depth.

As the Android Guy you should have mentioned that Samsung do allow do change the App Icons with the App "Theme Park". It is truly not that easy as OnePlus do it but it is possible. And I love to change the icons by using PNG Pictures to get as an example the old Instagram Logo because I don't like the new one.

I dream to own a folding phone and one plus open is probably my favorite so far because it looked normal when closed but there out of budget for me still but it’s still fun watching reviews on folding phones to track the progress of the technology

I'm really impressed with Parkers videos. They have awesome camera angles every now and then. He actually speaks about things that other reviewers don't talk about, like bugs, customization, specs, and whatnot. He really goes into detail so people can know instead of being all about the camera vs. iPhone and stuff. It's really great. Definitely means that if I were to buy a new phone (Samsung S24, for example), instead of looking at it and being like, "Oh, yeah, that looks good. I'll get that", without knowing the specs, I can go to this guy so I can get an almost complete review on it! I also love that style of camera. Like the one on the Nokia Lumia 1020. That is one extremely impressive phone for its age. I wonder how they got there so fast. Anyway, the camera dock thing looks very similar to this OnePlus Open, and I like it. Great video, Parker!

The honesty 💯

That wallpaper dimming is actually a feature u can turn off that in settings - display - on dark mode there u will get to see another option -(dark mode settings - adjust wallpaper to dark mode off that

small content suggestion would you consider using a different mic for longform video reviews that allow for better representation of low end in your voice?

I think the recents bugging out may be a launcher-Anrdoid issue, a similar thing occurs on third party launchers on anything after Android 10 on certain phones. I personally have the issue with Nova on a LG V50

This phone got a very fast review and I see why it's amazing 😍

Well. If you are using the inner display only 10% of the time then folding phones aren’t for you.

@yoonkung

9 ай бұрын

why not? a lot of people only wanna use the bigger display for some of the contents like gaming and media consumption. Thats maybe only 10-20% of the time which makes a lot of sense. On the other hand forcing user to use inner display by sacrifice the outer screen aspect ratio sounds like an excuse for me. I kind a get it that you get the better aspect ratio of innner display that way. but as you can see from a lot of new foldable phones. you can pretty much have the best of both worlds.

Great device, so happy with it and I am coming from a Pixel Fold. Apologies if this has been said already, but where/how I can get that white theme Parker has on his phones?

I wish they could make the corners a bit boxy because when the phone is folded on half it kinda looks weird for being rounded on the corner of the right side but pointy on the left side and with the folded form factor its not possible to have all 4 edges rounded

I always saw your shorts videos but subscribed today bdw which launcher app you are using

How you pick the gray color? Gray look so premium

🍉 I can see the ergonomic of holding the phone. Personally, I grip my phone similarly... But that phone stand kicking though... That's a bummer!

How do you install that launcher I also want to keep on mine too

The second issue you mentioned about Google Pay, I heard another review mention this, since you got a review sample, your review device does not have the ability to use that feature. But retail phones can and should work with Google Pay

Thanks for the review man..keep up the Good job👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I believe that the reason the inner display is dim is because of the screen protector that comes pre-installed. It's meant to help with glaring.

Legit didn't know you made long form videos,i keep getting the shorts in my recommendations

So I had a Z-fold 4 and liked it, and shared many of the same complaints you had, the aspect ratio and software bugs. But my biggest complaint by a mile was the fragile hinge, I live in FL and that means sand is an issue, that ruined the first fold I got. How does the hinge feel on this foldable? Is it practically open like the Fold 3? Or does it seem more robust?

​@@ikusanjaysame here. I've had Fold 2, 3 and 4, all the inner screens broke. Two with cracks, one a catastrophic failure. Had the last one fixed under warranty, sold it today. One Plus Open is already ordered. Normal aspect ratio cover screen alone sold it. My wife's Flip 4 also developed cracks too. Not good.

Im most interested in how the screen holds up. I worry dirt gets between the screens and they scratch eachother while its in my pocket. Are there screen protectors? Will it last 4+ years like my current Oneplus 7pro?

Bro did u and mkbhd plan this cause I just got notified like at the same time for a review of the same phone lol 😂

Im not gonna defend any aspect ratio but seriously if you are planning to spend so much money in a foldeable phone to spend only 10% on the inner screen just get a damn candy bar phone and save yourself some money.

If I was to get one of them this is the one I’d get because the front screen is like Regular phone like you said and because of this review I would have never noticed this 😃

Would you choose Samsung fold 5, Pixel Fold, or One plus Open?

The reason that the screen have that big crest on the screen cause it follows oppo technology with slight difference like the oppo find N which has the tear drop folded screen so it extend its durability of the folding up to 5+ years(10+years company claim).

First time watching one of his videos. I like his real world video. I hope the fold 6 goes in this direction in body design.

I love ur videos men u should atleast 700million subscriber ur bttr than other big channel. ur best Tech reviewer❤❤❤

The dimmed wall paper thing might be the adjust wall paper to dark mode settings, i turned that off and it looks normal

The wallpaper dimming is because of dark mode. If you go into the dark mode settings you can toggle the wallpaper dimming. I hope this helps

I hope they have an app like samsung routines for the folding and what not.

Hi Parker. Great review. Your background sound in the video is a little bit above normal, which makes me not to hear you 100% clearly Would've been better if you reduce the background instrumenal a little bit .

Should I change from a55 to s23? Can u please tell me pros and cons?🥰

In terms of battery life, it could be the software itself. You said that the phone has not gone through it's first software update, so it might have bugs in it. But still, battery life instability where it last extremely long on a day and another day it's just last around 2 hours is truly an issue for that phone.

Love your video! The unbias analysis made me a fan! What urks my soul about some bloggers and media about this phone compared to the Z fold...umm...WE DO REMEMBER THAT THE PURPOSE OF THE OUTSIDE SCREEN ISN'T TO GIVE YOU A BIG SCREEN. IT DOES WHAT IT'S SUPPOSE TO AND WHEN YOU REALLY NEED TO MULTI-TASK AND ALL THAT JAZZ, YOU OPEN TO THE BIGGER SCREEN 🤦🤦‍♀️Who will buy a folding phone that they don't need to open? 🤔🤔🤔

So with all these pains.. would you still rather the Fold 5 or the Plus Open?

Hey Parker, any stylus with this phone?

At 8:58, To find what it is that's draining your battery, goto developer options in your settings, and then scroll to running services.

Niagara launcher works great on the pixel fold.

The lack of google wallet is a common problem with review devices...

Can u do a review on The bold n3 or n2

Did the Google pay issue resolved now??

You complained about screen scaling on the inner display but you didn't show if you tried to change the scaling to allow more content to be shown. Maybe changing the scaling would have fixed your issue, but we don't know.
