    Hey flossy love your videos amazing!!! You really put your heart and soul into being honest in the real world reviews. I am a huge tech fan in itself. I am one who did trade in the fold 4 for the 5 lol because I live in Florida and one of the things that bothered me about the fold 4 was the lack of 1700 nitts and if you live in Florida like me and in direct sunlight a lot it was really a downside so much so that I would just use my s23 ultra in the sunlight. But I would use the fold 4 in a commuting setting such as being on the train or on an airplane or being in bed as you said in your video lol. I do appreciate aesthetically Samsung fixing the hinge and also fixing which I guess they do every year is putting in the newest chip Snapdragon Gen 2 in it to me that also was a annoying issue for me because the fold 4 was somewhat laggy and now that I got the fold 5, it is so much smoother and it basically is a refined fold 4 now called fold 5 lol. I also notice since they fixed the hinge when I close a fold 5 It doesn't clamp as hard when I close it it's more of a softer tone . I have the pixel fold but again not as bright and no reverse wireless charge and the software although great pixel software which is smooth and easy but still lacks the productivity features that you find in the fold 4/ fold 5. Really pixel fold 1800 bucks !!! In my opinion fold 4/5 way better. In my line of work it makes my job so much easier, especially during multitasking. Again, I always appreciate your videos. Flossy and I appreciate your amazing honesty and you're just down to earth man. Keep up the good work man. In your perspective in the tech world really helps me make better money saving decisions which you know in this day and age is very important. May God bless you and your family ❤️

    I'm upgrading my S21 Ultra this week, I'm at a toss up between the fold and the flip. But as of now it seems like the Fold is gonna be the one. I primarily use my phone to play video games and watch movies and videos so the flip seems to be the superior phone in that regard. Also with the current trade in special I can get it for pretty cheap so that's a plus.

    I love watching your videos man. I was actually looking forward to the Pixel Fold as my first foldable device, but unfortunately, they haven't released it in Australia. Always been a Pixel user when it comes to Android and the Galaxy Z Fold 5 intrigued me at when I tried it out at the store. Gotta say I'm very happy with the Fold 5. Samsung has made great use of the inner display with their software optimization. The front cover display is without a doubt quite jarring to use and I really do wish next years model has a wider display. I love how you tell it as it is! In Australia it's close to $2500 and they SHOULD include accessories in the box to justify the price. Luckily, their was a promotion going on at my Telco dealer and scored myself a free Watch 6 and Galaxy Buds 2 pro!

Check out all the settings you can change on a Samsung phone, along with S-Pen capabilities and then check out what Good Lock does. No phone ever even comes close to that.

    On the surface, the 4 and 5 would appear to be the same except for the hinge and as you say the display differences. However, if you do a deeper dive you will find a number of other subtle differences that make the phone better. For starters, the manufacturing process is different. The 5 uses a new 4nm process that results in more efficient power usage and faster processing. The 5 also uses the Gen 2 Snapdragon 8 running at a slightly faster speed. The phone also appears to be slightly narrower which along with the narrow (fold flat) hinge makes the phone fit better in the hand when folded. I've been using the phone for work and personal and I can tell the phone is more snappy. For me, the "update" from the 4 to the 5 made sense. Through warranty I actually got the 4 from the 3 at no cost. Interestingly the clear case I had on the 4 fits the 5 as well. Thanks for the detailed review...

    Even if i have no intentions of buying a phone, i still love these Real Reviews. I think the Pixel Fold is the best foldable to buy since the outer display is closer to a 16:9 aspect ratio. Hopefully they can get rid of some bezel on the inside display with the Pixel Fold 2, and increase battery life. Hot take: we need some modern phones with a 16:9 aspect ratio and super thin bezels.

    I love your reviews. I traded in my s23 ultra for the fold 5. No regrets at all tbh, I am not a camera user or active on social media. My phone use is reading, watching and gaming. I was a bit apprehensive between the time I placed the order and the time I got the phone, but honestly I cant go back to a slab phone now. When you raise the DPI setting the fold fits so much on the inside display that its legitimately a game changer for engaging with content. I chatted to a friend who has the fold 4 and we concluded that if you're almost exclusively into taking photos and social media and you go out and about a lot then a regular slab phone is sufficient. But if you like reading and watching and browsing the web a lot more and prefer to see more content on screen, you're probably ready to experience the fold.

There sure is alot of things that samsung is doing that just dont make sense. Taking away what they gave you before and charging you more

    It looks like every foldable outer display will have its own pros and cons. So it just depends on the person. I'm still using the Fold 3 and I'll never go back (but I won't upgrade until at least the 6 for a lot of the reasons you mentioned). I use to think a Fold with the pixels outer display would be the way to go, but the more you use the outer screen, the less you use the inner larger display. And really the point of the foldable is being able to bring a tablet with you, right in your pocket. The way I see it, is the outer screen is just an add on to the product I really want; the inner screen. I am that guy that unfolds his phone in the elevator to scroll twitter on the big ass screen. The outer display, I'll use that when I only have one hand, or answering the phone, or quick looks here and there. The biggest issue for sure is battery life. But it sounds like from the z fold 3 to the fold 5, that has gotten a bit better.

But outherwise those are the main reasons I have yet to purchase this phone. I want to purchase one but I need more out of the box for that price. Along with the thinnest of the outer display and the lack of the spen support on in. Side note. The red pen on the screen notes does not look as red as it use to be ever since the Note 20 ultra. Maybe even note 9. Anyways, great review. Long but honest and informative

    I have been a note user since note 2. After s22 ultra, I gave fold 4 a go. I despised the narrow front screen for starters. I use the s pen all the time at work and unfolding the phone on the go to write on a surface that is not even flat (because of the case) was so inconvenient and annoying. The minute s23 ultra came out, I switched. Will never go back to fold, unless they fix these issues for me.

You can make it usefull with outside display - make 4 grid, size of fonts bigger, and it will be totally good and readable. But, from other side i don't understand, why they didn't it by themselves, before me. Got it "barely used" for 800€ from Italy and totally happy.

    I agree; at that price point it should definitely come with a Super Fast Charger 2.0, a case, a built-in BT S Pen which should definitely work on the outside screen, and should have the same camera setup as the S23 Ultra, and should be thinner and probably wider but shorter, so it plays widescreen content better and is easier to use one-handed.
