I switched from iPhone 14 to the Fold 5 - it’s a completely different mobile experience, and I’m enjoying it. Not to mention it looks futuristic and I get so many compliments.
Z Fold is the best phone in the World right now until they stop milking the design and the Sliding Phone comes out. iPhones are ok but for the average Sheep public, you can sell anything to even a new no different iPhone
I'm dual rocking and I still like the iPhone for simplicity and it feels less fragile but the fold 5 is just so useful and practical as a single device.
The iPhone is a great phone, but once you go to samsung Fold, it's almost impossible to go back to a regular size phone, The Z Folds completely changed my joy for business or pleasure, me personally I'm loving every feature of it. 😀👍🏼
I like both ecosystems, but my current workflow fits the Fold 5 better. I use Samsung Dex constantly with Teamviewer and don't need to carry around a laptop anymore. Technology is great! Plus, playing and watching content on the bigger screen is very nice.
For me there's no comparison. I left Apple 3 years because all they're phones are practically the same. Samsung is world's ahead. Love the fold phones. Good review 😊
1st of all, great video. I use the Fold 4 and a Samsung Watch 4. I also have an iPhone 12 pro max and an Apple watch. I honestly hardly use my iPhone. I get that ppl love the ecosystem, but Samsung has its own as well. I think I heard you mention that nothing compares to Airdrop, but Samsung has its own airdrop and those additional features you mentioned toward the end are available on Samsung too. I have ny phone down to where it's comparable to my iPhone in every way except being able to imessage ppl. One last thing that I noticed NO ONE talks about is RCS messaging, which allows you to use an android like imessage; the only thing i can't do is play games. With Google Messages, I can respond to individual messages, present reactions, label ny chats with titles, share media at original quality, and view videos within the chat without having to switch to something like UA-cam. Ppl really gotta play with their android devices the SAME way they would their iphone, if they did they pound learn ALOT.
I wonder how often are you using the inner big screen of the fold? I have used the fold 5 for a bit but majority of the time I am using the narrow screen
I recently switched for S23U to Fold 5 and i must say im excited and happy - the only 2 minuses are the baterry life and the camera, in both departmants the fold 5 is like -20% compared to the ultra.
@@sancungbalaxyI've both s23 u + z fold 5 + s24 + flip 5 + tab s9 + GALAXY book 3 .. nice ecosystem dude...why on earth people still are mad for ios devices!!!
I have been using the fold 5 and i love it but the camera is horrible for anything that isnt up close! I have been contemplating going to iphone or back to the s23 ultra.
Bro I had the same issue in the beginning, once you go into the photo editor it makes everything amazing. The stock camera photos are way too bright and oversharpened.
I use both and am enjoying it so far. Basically, I use my fold 5 for media consumption and multitasking whenever I need to do some serious work , as for my iphone 15 pro max, I use it as a normal on-the go phone for every other things just like a tool in my pocket. My iphone is always there for every day mobile phone usage. I am not tied to any ecosystem, therefore, I use Sony Wf1000xm5 for both device and the transitions has been pretty remarkable.🎉
I got both of them both of the ecosystem I'm becoming a fan of my zfold5 I don't use my phones or tablets for work but having a phone/tablet on my zf5 it's the perfect phone for me and honestly iphone it's getting boring for me! The folding phones feels like the future for me and I'm loving it. Anyway it's just my opinion great review I'm becoming a fan of your channel 👍🏼
I understand that the apple ecosystem is a big deal, but if you try to put that on the side for a bit, what phone is your preferred first pick when leaving the home for the everyday life? I'm using a fold 3 and I had it in a case for over a year, but now when I am about to switch phone shortly I use it caseless and love it. I'm on the fence between choosing a iPhone 15 pro (not max), flip 5 or fold 5. Last I used iPhone I had an iPhone 11 pro. It was "boring" (lacking customization) but it was such a good and reliable phone. The fold with its special aspect ratio can sometime make the experience feel a bit unpolished, though samsung is still great when pushing the folding software forward compared to the competition.
Shame you have been trapped into Apple whether you like it or not. I hate to feel trapped by a brand. Like eating the same meal everyday and wearing the same clothes ,you have no choice.
Fold 3 now fold 5...went back to apple and missed the display too much...I switched all my stuff to Google ecosystem system and have no issues...still communicate with Apple folks and devices....people will always have their own preference
In my case i had 14 pro max and i switched to fold 5 a month ago...i love my Fold and photos are incredible too... I only miss the face id. ( i dont use other apple products, so i dont miss the ecosystem, but it is true what u say)
@@senorr2387 i know, and i use it too, but it is 2D, half of the times it doesn't work well, it works so bad in low light conditions, and the most important thing for me, is that many apps doesn't recognize it as secure method, so it isn't offered to access the app. For example banks apps, they only work with fingerprints. So resuming, it os far away worst, I love my Fold but the face id has no comparisson
It has face ID and Fingerprints. You never have to enter in a password ever, just use the Fingerprint. And if you had any Bluetooth devices ( i.e watch, headphones etc.) You can register it as a known devices and as long as you have the earphone on and near your phone its unlocked.
@@ronhali3164 im not stupid. I know very well all the stuff i have in my fold 5. But i can assure you, that using the fingerprints has no comparisson with the face id of iOs. You gain lot of time when opening banks apps, or doing payments (things i often use). By the other way, i preffer the Fold in all the other aspects
@@ronhali3164 i also have my watch5 and i dont like to mark it as a known device to have unlock my phone. Its very unsecure unless i am the only person in the room
Apple car play is better? Whatever, that's not my experience. Google has a massive edge over Apple when it comes to navigation, which is what cars need. My wife's puny iphone compares poorly to my Z Fold 5 in our newest car. But I'm a Samsung Galaxy guy, and their ecosystem is every bit as robust as Apple's. If you do Windows and Galaxy, then Apple is a misfit toy. But it's the same in reverse. If you are happy with the fruit phone ecosystem, then Samsung is a poor choice. I'm just glad they are both contending, it's the only thing that spurs them both to get better. Great, solid review! The best thing that ever happened to Samsung is Apple and vice versa. I enjoy reviews that get that, like yours.
Did you really say there there is nothing like airdrop, copying text on one device and paste it on another one, seamless switching between devices, operating all devices with the same mouse and keyboard, and more? I am just wondering how I can do all of that between my Fold5, TabS8 Ultra and my Samsung Galaxy Book2 Pro 360. The Multi control of Samsung includes even phones (e.g.vFold5) something Apple's Universal control can't do yet. And you have in addition Link to Windows and DeX for Windows, and Samsung Flow, just in case you don't like the other options. Please, just don't say "there isn't anything that ..." if you don't know it. You can't see the alternatives if you don't open your eyes. Edit: Multi-control works even if you hooked any 3rd party blootooth mouse and keyboard to your Fold 5. It is actually the only true "Universal control".
I work in IT and I always have to send files, links and pictures to my Windows work computer. Luckily I have a Samsung Fold that allows me to wirelessly send them, as the only option I have on my iPhone is to email them, or upload them to iCloud, log into iCloud on my PC and then download them. The only reason the Fold can't wirelessly send files to his Macbook is because Apple doesn't allow it and iPhone zealots need to be honest, they like it that way because it makes them feel "superior." They're Green Bubble "Snootie Booties," lol. Can't believe that's actually a thing.
Do you see the Fold 5 have the ability to replace the iPad mini if you were in the Android echo system? Does it have the capability to do what the mini does overall? Could it be considered two devices in one? It might be a better alternative if I did not have to have two expensive devices vs buying just one device which does both. I do love my 15 pro max. The camera is amazing. Especially taking pictures in low light. It is incredible how clear and bright the pictures are at dusk on the pro max. Thanks for the video.
I have a fold and an iPad mini and I rarely use the mini. I really only use it out of guilt lol. It's convenient because I don't have to travel with multiple devices. I can take notes at work, watch content when I'm out and about, and use Dex when I need it, so for me, it's worth ditching the iPhone and the iPad for one device.
7:20 I don't think that's true with Android you can do pretty much everything so much that you can download emulators and play PS1, PS2, Nintendo switch games and many other consoles and I saw a chinese UA-cam channel play windows games natively on phone with termux using wine and some other things and Rog Phone 8 Pro could play Devil May Cry 5 on 1600x720 with 50-60 FPS
The fact that iPhone chips are becoming more gamer friendly means gamers will soon have one kore option, AMD, Intel, or Apple M series. and The usbc on iPhone and developers creating a dex for the iPhone means Samsung will soon only have S-pen, customization,OS, and AI as what makes them different.
Patrick. Your last comments in the video about finding it difficult to move away from the iPhone and that everything just works, left me thinking: [ isn't that the reason Apple created an ecosystem? They ensure that those who use the system are hooked and remain; Or else, bear the consequences of leaving the system or trying to incorporate other systems. By that I mean bear a financial cost, bear a psychological cost, and bear the feeling of isolation and emptiness. There're many users who cannot leave the ecosystem. What you're experiencing was done by design. In the midst of rapid technological growths and global interconnectivity, ONE COMPANY decided not to integrate; deliberately designed its systems not to interact seamlessly with other systems and forced a "DETATED EXPERIENCE" on its consumers. A classic example of the Metrics - it makes it difficult for you to get out of your own head to explore other possibilities; but, only with the mindset that this must be the only best way.
I switched from iphone 14pro max to Fold5 cause the trade in value at Apple was 600 and Samsung was 1200(For foldables) I was super sensitive about the inner fold display but now I over came my fear cause Samsung made the fold 5 25% stronger and 1 year free display change.
Oh man, you gave me some ease, I ordered a Fold 5, didn't arrive yet but I was really unsure about the decision, the whole folding display and all. Good to know that it is more durable than the older versions
@@DVinstapics I'm assuming you got the insurance with it? Foldables are definitely more prone to issues, but plenty of people have had their fold 3 for years now with no issues or issues only now cropping up. That's not to say there might not be issues earlier, as some do experience, but I believe that since the fold 3 things have been quite a bit more durable than what the public tends to believe. The only situation you might want to be careful is if you do a SUPER dust-heavy job. If you work any kind of dusty job, the fold might be the wrong move.
I switched from iPhone to z fold 5 ... it's just insane to have a phone/tablette in your pocket 😊 . The android UI is so much nicer. I'm in love with my new phone or tablet 😅
If i use my phone mainly for creating social media content and MS office, would you recommend the fold because of the big screen or the iphone for better camera please?
@@PatrickRambles am getting the fold since I have iPhone since 4S… time to try Samsung again although iPhone feels much more expensive. But I want to combine iPad and mobile, let’s see fold is winner! Can’t wait till 2026 for apple to catch up
I switched from an iphone 13 pro max to a fold 5 two days ago and it's like night and day when it comes to features. I love the form factor having a 1 handed device thst turns into a mini tablet. It's all about having fun again for me because the iphone was just boring after 2 years and I did not see the value of upgrading to a newer model and I'm glad I switched to the fold
You're the first channel I've seen mentioning Android Auto. Thank you for making me feel like I'm not alone! Haha. I recently switched to the Fold 5 from iPhone, and honestly, I have been enjoying the Android experience very much. But I still don't like Android Auto. 😬 Like, I really don't like it. 😅 I don't hate it enough to switch back, but if I miss anything from having an iPhone it's honestly not having the ability to make every App full screen in my car like I was able to with Apple Car Play. Great video and great channel!
i only use 2 apps on android auto, Waze and UA-cam Music lol , i dont care about anything else although i do receive WhatsApp and text messages sometimes
I think if your not in the apple eco system the answer is clear, especially if you consume content more than take pictures. So you know you can change the key board to be bigger on the from or turn it to landscape. On the main screen you can change the keyboard to one hand mode
The Samsung Galaxy Fold 5 haven't MUCH solve the question if you need that feature, it answer what you want feature. it just solve how you can compact the Tablet device. But other side, you didn't need it, just want it.
I've owned every version of iPhone from the first to the 13 pro max. Decided to shake things up for the same reason. 0 regets or desire to back to apple. I do miss a few swipe gestures and the notification organization, but that's about all
You can enable swipe gestures in Android settings. As a matter of fact, because Android allows left, middle and right gestures, I find myself getting frustrated when I use my iPhone Max. I'm constantly swiping out of the app I'm in, when I only want to go back to the previous page.
@ShaunaMorgan haha yeah I just don't feel like they're as smooth as apples. A lot of time when I'm trying to swipe up to open my phone it thinks I'm trying to open my wallet. The only one that drives me crazy is swiping down to go into one handed mode. I prefer apples way of bringing the top half of the screen down then swiping up to go back to normal. I will sit there swiping down over and over until it finally realizes I'm trying to get the screen back to normal on the fold. I also miss how swiping up on the home screen of iphones quickly brings you to the finder w the keyboard already out. I think apple lets you swipe to go forward too and you can only go back on android. All pretty minor stuff. I still prefer the fold by a long shot! Also not organizing notifications by recently received is mind blowingly confusing to me. It's odd that you can customize so much, but they don't let you change that setting
I ditched the iphone back when the iphone 7 came out and never looked back since. Had the fold 5 for a month now and is the best phone ive ever had. Makes it real easy to reply to emails and edit anything.
Thanks for the comparison Patrick. I have no plans to switch to the Android ecosystem, but if I did I find the Z Flip 5 more interesting than the Fold 5.
I have a friend and a colleague who have or had Samsung flip device. Both of them said the same thing...the flip fits better in girls trouser pockets compared to a fold or an iPhone (except the mini of course 😂)
I changed to the Zfold 4 after 10 years of Apple ecosystem. Worst decision ever. The phone was great, but after a year the external screen randomly stoped working right after the guarante. Never leaving Apple again
Anecdotal. Samsung makes some of the tankiest, best constructed devices on the market. They hold up better than almost anything. I had my gps stop working on my iPhone 6, left apple and have (almost) never looked back. Android has been great, and is indistibutably where more innovation has happened in the last 5-10 years.
I'm switching from iPhone SE 3rd gen, and S22 Ultra. I totally get what you mean about getting into the ecosystem. That's why i still can't only have android or only iPhone. But i managed to do all those things like air drop on the S22 ultra and since i've synced OneDrive and iCloud on one machine, i can now leave one phone at home and always have the latest data with me. Only thing i don't like is Siri and Apple Watch, due to lack of supported banks on the watch, and a very weak battery compared to the Fitbit or even Galaxy Watch 5. I wish i could merge all the things i like the most from each ecosystems into one device, but for now i'm using both.
IV been looking at getting this to replace my iPhone I use for work. I currently have a nothing phone 2 as my daily and I love it. I wish all apps where on both as I still need my iPhone for the notability app to draw my plans. Upgraded my old iPad to a Samsung S9 ultra so hopefully I find a way to completely get out of apple
@@PatrickRambles perfect for spilt screen. I had been using the iPad air so makes it alot easier now. Hard to get used to how the tablet works and how to get the best out of it
My Z Fold 5 will be here tomorrow and my 13 Pro Max is out of here … I might go back to Apple 🍏 one day when they stop selling the same phone every year. “ Come up with a new design “ 💯
There is no doubt iPhone and their eco system is great. But aren't we pick a phone that should satisfy our needs and not just to show that you have an iPhone? I had fold 2 and now owing a fold 5, which is an amazing device. Folding, water/splash proof, spen and the UI 6.0 is also looking just great. You can say anything, but until your iPhone can fold, it can't be a competition.
Hello, very good video, greetings....if you could tell me what the app is? What do you use for Fold? What animation on the screen lock is super cool, thank you
Well I don't own a Samsung galaxy zfold but I do own a Samsung galaxy s23 ultra as my main and I got an old iPhone x as an iPod basically I will eventually upgrade that iPhone to have the best of both simple
Also you know quickshare is the replacement for air drop and the samsung can copy and paste from s23 ultra to tablet and samsung computer ? I used those features weekly , im just emphasizing Samsung is superior trust me
I don't understand the whole ecosystem thing. I switched from iPhone 15 to fold 5 seamlessly. I don't understand the whole "work around" comment. I had zero problems, and don't miss my iPhone at all, and believe me, I use my phone for a lot of things including work. I wish I didn't buy it before my fold 5. It got hot while I used it, which is why I even considered the fold 5 in the first place. I've only ever experienced apple products and wish I switched sooner. I was caught up in the hype I guess. I'm finally free and I couldn't be happier. I can't see myself going back to the boring slab phone, either android or apple. I never had a problem typing on either screen, either. For me, right now, it's Sammy all the way. They're killing it.
thanks for the video Patrick i love them! i am totally team iphone and dislike android, but this year when i compare another version of iphone vs the real innovations brought by samsung it leaves a bitter taste! that fold 5 looks amazing! Only issue is at the end of the day it ll bring the android problems.
Because they all work together easily. Once you’re in it’s hard to swap over. I’m in this same boat I want the fold but I have Apple TV , watch , MacBook I’m disappointed in the lack of “innovation” with iPhone
@@TheWorshipCollectiveTxI went S23 ultra, Samsung laptop, windows gaming computer, Samsung Smart TV. Once your in an ecosystem it's so expensive to switch, otherwise ide try the apple ecosystem. You kind of get trapped in the ecosystem that you've already invested in. 🙂
Your videos are outstanding!!!! You definitely chose the right career. I, too, have been in the Apple ecosystem (and more than that every member of my family). But this… this is tempting. With Luma Fusion (which I use often) now on Android… combined with DEX… it really can replace a computer for me. I’m going to follow your lead and order one (I’ll wait for the 6) and see how it goes. Thanks for this open and honest review!!!!
I'm not sure why people don't know that Samsung has something like FaceID. It has both finger print and FaceID function. I have been able to open my Samsung Note phones and Folds just by exposing my face to it for years. This works on other apps as well.
Great video! I'd love to learn about your work routine and your workflow for reading or studying all day. I recently came across a new device, the Boox Note Air 3C, an e-ink Android device, which might replace my iPad to take care of my eye health. Do you have any insights on this? Thanks, liked, and subscribed!
I’m at that point in life right now lol. iPhone 15 pro Natural Titanium and Galaxy Fold 5 Icy blue. The duo makes me feel at ease lol, I’m not missing the iPhone since I still have it present and I’m still getting the different experience that the Fold offers 🧘🏻
I have a 15 pro but I’m getting the fold 5 as well to use as a tablet for media consumption and to do work on (as well as a back up phone) . What’s your experience of having both phones?
The fold is truly nice. I am running the beta software at this time with it. What I can say is that it feels very futuristic like I can unfold it to use the bigger screen whenever I want to watch content on it, or simply use the flex mode on it so I can view the screen when I’m eating or maybe when I’m laying down. As for the keyboard when using it while folded, it needs some time to getting use to. When I have bad service at work, I usually place it near the window to take advantage of the hotspot so my iPhone can use WiFi, or vice versa, definitely helpful having two phones at the same time.
Well with the deal of a free watch 6 and discounted Samsung care for two years and 512 free upgrade I pulled the trigger on the fold 5 though haven’t got it yet. Though I still have the iPhone 15pm coming in November! I can only really afford one. iPhones are great but they are so samey. The ecosystem is no big deal I am sure there are alternatives, I love apple but when you get a new iPhone it just feels like ur old one. If I am wrong then I will go back to iPhone but you just need to try new things and I want to be more productive and organised. I mean look at the Apple notes app how basic is that , no multitasking, the reminders app, and we all get excited over a button on the side!! Marketing over imagination.
Just prior to the iPhone 15 release, I trialled the fold 5 for 1 months. I found that while a ‘folding phone’ design is far superior to a slab style phone, the current folding phones just aren’t there yet. Additionally, we need to consider that any comparisons against iPhone and Samsung is going to be more than just a comparison on form factor but also the operating system. Ultimately, the Apple ecosystem is too good. If Apple were to make a folding phone option which essentially allows users to have a larger screen at will without any compromises of the front screen size and overall size of the phone, then it would be a game changer. I’m sticking to Apple for now, but if anything comes close to utopia in terms of design, I would be the Honor V2.
Man idk. I just switched from the 13 to the fold 5 and I wouldn't go back. Android eco system is just as smooth as ios imo. What about the ecosystem has you stuck?
@@imn0tgarbage Exactly. I have an iPhone and a Fold, and my Fold not only works with all my smart home devices, but my Windows PC and Chromebook. I think the Apple ecosystem is very good, IF you only have Apple devices... But I wouldn't trade my Asus Pro Duo for 10 Macbook pros, lol and I can send files and links, get my phone notifications and text family and friends on that, just as well as the Apple ecosystem. The Apple ecosystem is carefully curated to get people in and imprison them there, imho. My XReal AR glasses just worked straight out the box with my Fold. I had to buy a specialized adapter for it to work with my iPhone. With Apple I feel like there's always some catch, something extra you have to buy to get it to do what YOU want it to do. With Samsung, more specifically Android, you are only limited by your own imagination.
@ShaunaMorgan and I can charge any device with my Samsung. My wife has iPhone, charger broke, and she wirelessly charged her phone up on the back of my phone. Apple is just a marketing genius, branding genius. Once you have the iPhone ppl look at you differently, even through the fold is like $600-$700 more. One thing that frustrates me, is apple has this amazing potential, but they just won't put all their tech in one phone, naw the pace it out over several years and several phone the milk the helm out their customers. There isn't one upgrade that been released on iPhone that hasn't already came out on Android and for cheaper. And they make their loyal, very loyal fans settle for old tech with better branding but no customization. Had my S21 at the same time my wife got her apple 12 , and as soon as the 15 got released her phone slowed and her battery with last all day only last half now 🧤🥼 And the thing that pisses me about Samsung is no marketing or branding know how they will just drop a phone with zero hype 🤣. At least apple you are hyped before the release even if its the same phone with just a new emoji 🤣
@@ronhali3164 Would you prefer Hype to be tricked into a jail cell or No Hype and be free? Android works with other companies while Apple only goes as far as needed to get their goals accomplished aka More Zombies!!! This al started from Hollywood Its 2023 People. Also aren't iPhones mostly Samsung Parts Internally?
Yes, if everything around your house is apple product, then ecosystem is doomed if you got a samsung device. If you have Samsung devices around your house everything is so friendly, that it is even unbelievable. 😂
people should stop commenting like fold 5 is a different form factor different purpose etc. My A** at the end of the day it is a phone. a phone comparision should be straight forward, performance, quality, features. see what iphone 15 pro max or s23 ultra does, then see if fold 5 can satisfy being a slab phone too or not, and then potray what more can fold 5 do than a traditional phone that's all. at this time fold is waste of money. 2 things they need to solve, too narrow of a front screen and fragile inner screen. instead of making the inner screen more durable, samsung or any manufacturer should think of a replacement screen which should cost less than 30$ and easy to be replaceable, that way fold can really compete with slab phones in terms of reliability and durability. and then we can focus on whats better. if you want slab take slab, have money and want a tab experience go fold. I haven't see an single normal or clever person using a foldable for productivity. its all marketing crap, its not even usable for productivity.
dude got bored with the iPhone 14 pro max so he switched to the fold..and then bought the same iPhone 14 Pro Max ..umm I mean 15 pro max and uses it now as he is wearing awu. I switched from ip14PM to 15PM (as my 14PM broke) and slapped a case on it and I see barely any difference between the two tbh
I switched from iPhone 14 to the Fold 5 - it’s a completely different mobile experience, and I’m enjoying it. Not to mention it looks futuristic and I get so many compliments.
Z Fold is the best phone in the World right now until they stop milking the design and the Sliding Phone comes out. iPhones are ok but for the average Sheep public, you can sell anything to even a new no different iPhone

I get that ppl love the ecosystem, but Samsung has its own as well.

Ppl really gotta play with their android devices the SAME way they would their iphone, if they did they pound learn ALOT.
I wonder how often are you using the inner big screen of the fold? I have used the fold 5 for a bit but majority of the time I am using the narrow screen
Much less than I thought I would for day to day stuff but it’s nice to have it for content and browsing.
I used to find I used the internal screen when sat down and the external while walking about
@@gingedssi use front screen in casual times and inner screen for office work for study etc.
I have the S23 Ultra but next year I'm going to jump to the Z Fold 6. I really hope they make the cover screen wider.
I recently switched for S23U to Fold 5 and i must say im excited and happy - the only 2 minuses are the baterry life and the camera, in both departmants the fold 5 is like -20% compared to the ultra.
I agree. Make the cover screen wider like a normal phone, give it a s24 Ultra camera, and it'll be game over!!!

Basically, I use my fold 5 for media consumption and multitasking whenever I need to do some serious work , as for my iphone 15 pro max, I use it as a normal on-the go phone for every other things just like a tool in my pocket. My iphone is always there for every day mobile phone usage. I am not tied to any ecosystem, therefore, I use Sony Wf1000xm5 for both device and the transitions has been pretty remarkable.🎉
do u think bill gates do the same ?
Rich dude comment. Mad Respect for your hustle sir.
I've fold 5+ s23 ultra
I prefer the iPhone 15 pro & iPad mini 6 combo. But to each their own. Great review. ✌️
I have the same combo and I it's great!
Could you please tell me where you got that live inner display background. Looking for that for a long time
Did you received the link of inner display please can u send me the link
I got both of them both of the ecosystem I'm becoming a fan of my zfold5 I don't use my phones or tablets for work but having a phone/tablet on my zf5 it's the perfect phone for me and honestly iphone it's getting boring for me! The folding phones feels like the future for me and I'm loving it.
Anyway it's just my opinion great review I'm becoming a fan of your channel 👍🏼
Thanks man!
Nice video Patrick , I like all my apple stuff but the fold 5 is a fantastic phone 😎🇨🇮
I understand that the apple ecosystem is a big deal, but if you try to put that on the side for a bit, what phone is your preferred first pick when leaving the home for the everyday life? I'm using a fold 3 and I had it in a case for over a year, but now when I am about to switch phone shortly I use it caseless and love it. I'm on the fence between choosing a iPhone 15 pro (not max), flip 5 or fold 5. Last I used iPhone I had an iPhone 11 pro. It was "boring" (lacking customization) but it was such a good and reliable phone. The fold with its special aspect ratio can sometime make the experience feel a bit unpolished, though samsung is still great when pushing the folding software forward compared to the competition.
I have the pro max 15 and really like it.
Wait for black Friday and trade-in your Fold 3 for the Fold 5. Use school discount (Samsung doesn't check you). Enjoy!
Shame you have been trapped into Apple whether you like it or not. I hate to feel trapped by a brand. Like eating the same meal everyday and wearing the same clothes ,you have no choice.
What's the live wallpaper called?
Fold 3 now fold 5...went back to apple and missed the display too much...I switched all my stuff to Google ecosystem system and have no issues...still communicate with Apple folks and devices....people will always have their own preference
Planning to buy z fold 5 but many users are complaining the screen issues after some months. can some real users suggest
Zero issues. I have had every model of the series 1-2-3-4 and now 5 and NEVER had an issue with the screens or anything else. In MY opinion it's how you treat the phone and which environments you use it in. Just my 2©🤙
The Fold 5 doesn't have the Overheating issues the iPhone 15 Pro/Max and Samsung isn't throttling their phones due to this.
I'm not on the Jerry Rig hype train. My iPhone has had zero issues so far.
In my case i had 14 pro max and i switched to fold 5 a month ago...i love my Fold and photos are incredible too... I only miss the face id.
( i dont use other apple products, so i dont miss the ecosystem, but it is true what u say)
Z Fold has face reg too
@@senorr2387 i know, and i use it too, but it is 2D, half of the times it doesn't work well, it works so bad in low light conditions, and the most important thing for me, is that many apps doesn't recognize it as secure method, so it isn't offered to access the app. For example banks apps, they only work with fingerprints. So resuming, it os far away worst, I love my Fold but the face id has no comparisson
It has face ID and Fingerprints.
You never have to enter in a password ever, just use the Fingerprint.
And if you had any Bluetooth devices ( i.e watch, headphones etc.) You can register it as a known devices and as long as you have the earphone on and near your phone its unlocked.
@@ronhali3164 im not stupid. I know very well all the stuff i have in my fold 5. But i can assure you, that using the fingerprints has no comparisson with the face id of iOs. You gain lot of time when opening banks apps, or doing payments (things i often use). By the other way, i preffer the Fold in all the other aspects
@@ronhali3164 i also have my watch5 and i dont like to mark it as a known device to have unlock my phone. Its very unsecure unless i am the only person in the room
Apple car play is better? Whatever, that's not my experience. Google has a massive edge over Apple when it comes to navigation, which is what cars need. My wife's puny iphone compares poorly to my Z Fold 5 in our newest car. But I'm a Samsung Galaxy guy, and their ecosystem is every bit as robust as Apple's. If you do Windows and Galaxy, then Apple is a misfit toy. But it's the same in reverse. If you are happy with the fruit phone ecosystem, then Samsung is a poor choice. I'm just glad they are both contending, it's the only thing that spurs them both to get better. Great, solid review! The best thing that ever happened to Samsung is Apple and vice versa. I enjoy reviews that get that, like yours.
Did you really say there there is nothing like airdrop, copying text on one device and paste it on another one, seamless switching between devices, operating all devices with the same mouse and keyboard, and more? I am just wondering how I can do all of that between my Fold5, TabS8 Ultra and my Samsung Galaxy Book2 Pro 360. The Multi control of Samsung includes even phones (e.g.vFold5) something Apple's Universal control can't do yet. And you have in addition Link to Windows and DeX for Windows, and Samsung Flow, just in case you don't like the other options. Please, just don't say "there isn't anything that ..." if you don't know it. You can't see the alternatives if you don't open your eyes.
Edit: Multi-control works even if you hooked any 3rd party blootooth mouse and keyboard to your Fold 5. It is actually the only true "Universal control".
I work in IT and I always have to send files, links and pictures to my Windows work computer. Luckily I have a Samsung Fold that allows me to wirelessly send them, as the only option I have on my iPhone is to email them, or upload them to iCloud, log into iCloud on my PC and then download them. The only reason the Fold can't wirelessly send files to his Macbook is because Apple doesn't allow it and iPhone zealots need to be honest, they like it that way because it makes them feel "superior." They're Green Bubble "Snootie Booties," lol. Can't believe that's actually a thing.
Very fair comparison. Thank you.
I had a 15pro max on order went and cancelled it today to get the fold 5
I already been Laid couple times and it started by comments about my Z Fold 5 lol
Do you see the Fold 5 have the ability to replace the iPad mini if you were in the Android echo system? Does it have the capability to do what the mini does overall? Could it be considered two devices in one? It might be a better alternative if I did not have to have two expensive devices vs buying just one device which does both. I do love my 15 pro max. The camera is amazing. Especially taking pictures in low light. It is incredible how clear and bright the pictures are at dusk on the pro max. Thanks for the video.
In terms of computing power for sure. But yes it's android.
I lean the other direction. I have an iPad Mini 6 and the iPhone 14. I have different use cases for each and I can stay in the Apple ecosystem.
I have a fold and an iPad mini and I rarely use the mini. I really only use it out of guilt lol. It's convenient because I don't have to travel with multiple devices. I can take notes at work, watch content when I'm out and about, and use Dex when I need it, so for me, it's worth ditching the iPhone and the iPad for one device.
@@thugginndshit I think I would feel the same way if I already had the Fold rather than my iPhone.
@@bryans8656 maybe, but I did switch from iPhone to fold in 2020 because I was sick of apple not really changing anything between iterations.
7:20 I don't think that's true with Android you can do pretty much everything so much that you can download emulators and play PS1, PS2, Nintendo switch games and many other consoles and I saw a chinese UA-cam channel play windows games natively on phone with termux using wine and some other things and Rog Phone 8 Pro could play Devil May Cry 5 on 1600x720 with 50-60 FPS
The fact that iPhone chips are becoming more gamer friendly means gamers will soon have one kore option, AMD, Intel, or Apple M series. and The usbc on iPhone and developers creating a dex for the iPhone means Samsung will soon only have S-pen, customization,OS, and AI as what makes them different.
Patrick. Your last comments in the video about finding it difficult to move away from the iPhone and that everything just works, left me thinking: [ isn't that the reason Apple created an ecosystem? They ensure that those who use the system are hooked and remain; Or else, bear the consequences of leaving the system or trying to incorporate other systems. By that I mean bear a financial cost, bear a psychological cost, and bear the feeling of isolation and emptiness.
There're many users who cannot leave the ecosystem. What you're experiencing was done by design. In the midst of rapid technological growths and global interconnectivity, ONE COMPANY decided not to integrate; deliberately designed its systems not to interact seamlessly with other systems and forced a "DETATED EXPERIENCE" on its consumers. A classic example of the Metrics - it makes it difficult for you to get out of your own head to explore other possibilities; but, only with the mindset that this must be the only best way.
I switched from iphone 14pro max to Fold5 cause the trade in value at Apple was 600 and Samsung was 1200(For foldables) I was super sensitive about the inner fold display but now I over came my fear cause Samsung made the fold 5 25% stronger and 1 year free display change.
Oh man, you gave me some ease, I ordered a Fold 5, didn't arrive yet but I was really unsure about the decision, the whole folding display and all. Good to know that it is more durable than the older versions
@@DVinstapicsas long as you don’t have other Apple stuff you’re fine
@@DVinstapics I'm assuming you got the insurance with it? Foldables are definitely more prone to issues, but plenty of people have had their fold 3 for years now with no issues or issues only now cropping up. That's not to say there might not be issues earlier, as some do experience, but I believe that since the fold 3 things have been quite a bit more durable than what the public tends to believe. The only situation you might want to be careful is if you do a SUPER dust-heavy job. If you work any kind of dusty job, the fold might be the wrong move.
I switched from iPhone to z fold 5 ... it's just insane to have a phone/tablette in your pocket 😊 . The android UI is so much nicer. I'm in love with my new phone or tablet 😅
It’s definitely an awesome device 👌
In love with a phone!!🤣🤣🤣🤣
Though I've been using my Z Fold 3 for 2 years now, I'm still excited to use the Z Fold 5 as a phablet (a phone and a tablet).
What case r u using for fold? Looks amazing?
Where did you get the screen saver you have on the fold 5 where it looks like the object is opening up?
Did you ever get an answer on the screen saver?
If i use my phone mainly for creating social media content and MS office, would you recommend the fold because of the big screen or the iphone for better camera please?
Tricky. I would recommend the iPhone for creating content but definitely the fold for productivity.
@@PatrickRambles thanks. So it’s best to get both lol
@judeli9237 my work here is done 😅
@@PatrickRambles am getting the fold since I have iPhone since 4S… time to try Samsung again although iPhone feels much more expensive. But I want to combine iPad and mobile, let’s see fold is winner! Can’t wait till 2026 for apple to catch up
Also doesn't the z fold 5 have more speakers and is better than the 15 pro max ?
The internal speakers are great on fold. But the front are horrible.
I switched from an iphone 13 pro max to a fold 5 two days ago and it's like night and day when it comes to features. I love the form factor having a 1 handed device thst turns into a mini tablet. It's all about having fun again for me because the iphone was just boring after 2 years and I did not see the value of upgrading to a newer model and I'm glad I switched to the fold
Where can i get that fold 5 wallpaper in this video sir
You're the first channel I've seen mentioning Android Auto. Thank you for making me feel like I'm not alone! Haha. I recently switched to the Fold 5 from iPhone, and honestly, I have been enjoying the Android experience very much. But I still don't like Android Auto. 😬 Like, I really don't like it. 😅 I don't hate it enough to switch back, but if I miss anything from having an iPhone it's honestly not having the ability to make every App full screen in my car like I was able to with Apple Car Play. Great video and great channel!
Haha yeah I feel that. And thanks!
i only use 2 apps on android auto, Waze and UA-cam Music lol , i dont care about anything else although i do receive WhatsApp and text messages sometimes
I think if your not in the apple eco system the answer is clear, especially if you consume content more than take pictures. So you know you can change the key board to be bigger on the from or turn it to landscape. On the main screen you can change the keyboard to one hand mode
Will ipad mini 7 will come ? Do you have any idea?
Which of these two the 15 pro max qnd z fold 5 has the better speaker?
The Samsung Galaxy Fold 5 haven't MUCH solve the question if you need that feature, it answer what you want feature. it just solve how you can compact the Tablet device. But other side, you didn't need it, just want it.
I've owned every version of iPhone from the first to the 13 pro max. Decided to shake things up for the same reason. 0 regets or desire to back to apple. I do miss a few swipe gestures and the notification organization, but that's about all
You can enable swipe gestures in Android settings. As a matter of fact, because Android allows left, middle and right gestures, I find myself getting frustrated when I use my iPhone Max. I'm constantly swiping out of the app I'm in, when I only want to go back to the previous page.
@ShaunaMorgan haha yeah I just don't feel like they're as smooth as apples. A lot of time when I'm trying to swipe up to open my phone it thinks I'm trying to open my wallet. The only one that drives me crazy is swiping down to go into one handed mode. I prefer apples way of bringing the top half of the screen down then swiping up to go back to normal. I will sit there swiping down over and over until it finally realizes I'm trying to get the screen back to normal on the fold. I also miss how swiping up on the home screen of iphones quickly brings you to the finder w the keyboard already out. I think apple lets you swipe to go forward too and you can only go back on android. All pretty minor stuff. I still prefer the fold by a long shot! Also not organizing notifications by recently received is mind blowingly confusing to me. It's odd that you can customize so much, but they don't let you change that setting
@@rabdulwahid thankfully no reql problem typing on the front screen, but I'll check it out!
I was waiting for this review. I have both phones and I can’t give up on both. Awesome review 🎉
Thank you!
I ditched the iphone back when the iphone 7 came out and never looked back since. Had the fold 5 for a month now and is the best phone ive ever had. Makes it real easy to reply to emails and edit anything.
Thanks for the comparison Patrick. I have no plans to switch to the Android ecosystem, but if I did I find the Z Flip 5 more interesting than the Fold 5.
Interesting!
I have the Flip 4 and it is great
I have a friend and a colleague who have or had Samsung flip device. Both of them said the same thing...the flip fits better in girls trouser pockets compared to a fold or an iPhone (except the mini of course 😂)
Are you using an iwatch with your Android? How is it?
No. Doesn't work. I was when I was rocking two phones but these days I wear a mechanical watch mostly and use other health trackers.
You get the same experience with every iphone that comes out
Which is a pro and a con in all honesty
@shane7051 i see what you did there 🫡
Where did you get the fold 5 theme?
I switched from 14 pro max to fold 5 last week, and the decision is perfect. Lol
I changed to the Zfold 4 after 10 years of Apple ecosystem. Worst decision ever. The phone was great, but after a year the external screen randomly stoped working right after the guarante. Never leaving Apple again
Ouch
Anecdotal. Samsung makes some of the tankiest, best constructed devices on the market. They hold up better than almost anything. I had my gps stop working on my iPhone 6, left apple and have (almost) never looked back. Android has been great, and is indistibutably where more innovation has happened in the last 5-10 years.
You can get unlimited replacement coverage from Samsung for $11 a month
Which background do you use for the fold5??
I switched from iphone 14 to the fold 5 and omg! Ive been missing out lol. Im not looking back with no regrets.
Welcome to the team 🎉
‘I’m not looking back with no regrets’ that’s a double negative. So what regrets do you have?
@edbot456 preciate the correction. You see how excited I was lol. Phone is amazing is the point lol
3:23 That is cursed, you using Dex on an Apple display, but I'm mostly surprised you CAN use Dex on an Apple display...
Literally the only thing I prefer on my 15 pro max over the Fold is the camera.
Have the Fold 5 and love it. Can I ask what wallpaper is that in the video
Thank you good reviews ❤
Glad you like them!
I'm switching from iPhone SE 3rd gen, and S22 Ultra. I totally get what you mean about getting into the ecosystem. That's why i still can't only have android or only iPhone. But i managed to do all those things like air drop on the S22 ultra and since i've synced OneDrive and iCloud on one machine, i can now leave one phone at home and always have the latest data with me. Only thing i don't like is Siri and Apple Watch, due to lack of supported banks on the watch, and a very weak battery compared to the Fitbit or even Galaxy Watch 5. I wish i could merge all the things i like the most from each ecosystems into one device, but for now i'm using both.
IV been looking at getting this to replace my iPhone I use for work. I currently have a nothing phone 2 as my daily and I love it. I wish all apps where on both as I still need my iPhone for the notability app to draw my plans. Upgraded my old iPad to a Samsung S9 ultra so hopefully I find a way to completely get out of apple
How do you like the big size of the Tab S9 ultra?
@@PatrickRambles perfect for spilt screen. I had been using the iPad air so makes it alot easier now. Hard to get used to how the tablet works and how to get the best out of it
@harryblanchette3514 Samsung definitely has the multitasking game on lock.
My Z Fold 5 will be here tomorrow and my 13 Pro Max is out of here … I might go back to Apple 🍏 one day when they stop selling the same phone every year. “ Come up with a new design “ 💯
How are you liking the z fold 5 so far? I have the 13 pro max and I’m thinking about switching to the fold 5
There is no doubt iPhone and their eco system is great. But aren't we pick a phone that should satisfy our needs and not just to show that you have an iPhone? I had fold 2 and now owing a fold 5, which is an amazing device. Folding, water/splash proof, spen and the UI 6.0 is also looking just great.
You can say anything, but until your iPhone can fold, it can't be a competition.
Hello, very good video, greetings....if you could tell me what the app is? What do you use for Fold? What animation on the screen lock is super cool, thank you
Well I don't own a Samsung galaxy zfold but I do own a Samsung galaxy s23 ultra as my main and I got an old iPhone x as an iPod basically I will eventually upgrade that iPhone to have the best of both simple
Love my 15 Pro. I’m super invested in my ecosystem but the Fold makes me curious about the Android world.
Sums it up!
I just bought the fold today and so far. its a beast
@@cjh6678 can you give an update is the crease noticeable at all and how is watching movies and stuff because I’m thinking about getting one
Dbrand grip case is probably the best case you can get for the fold 5
Damn the samesung with the 1 nits. What a dark screen :D 2:25
Happy new year even though I'm watching a 3 month old video :)
Which theme is that? I LOVE IT ❤
Also you know quickshare is the replacement for air drop and the samsung can copy and paste from s23 ultra to tablet and samsung computer ? I used those features weekly , im just emphasizing Samsung is superior trust me
I don't understand the whole ecosystem thing. I switched from iPhone 15 to fold 5 seamlessly. I don't understand the whole "work around" comment. I had zero problems, and don't miss my iPhone at all, and believe me, I use my phone for a lot of things including work. I wish I didn't buy it before my fold 5. It got hot while I used it, which is why I even considered the fold 5 in the first place. I've only ever experienced apple products and wish I switched sooner. I was caught up in the hype I guess. I'm finally free and I couldn't be happier. I can't see myself going back to the boring slab phone, either android or apple. I never had a problem typing on either screen, either. For me, right now, it's Sammy all the way. They're killing it.
thanks for the video Patrick i love them! i am totally team iphone and dislike android, but this year when i compare another version of iphone vs the real innovations brought by samsung it leaves a bitter taste! that fold 5 looks amazing! Only issue is at the end of the day it ll bring the android problems.
I went from s23U to iphone 14 pro max, it was a terrible experience, now I got the fold 5. Couldn't be happier
Welcome to the dark side 🎉
@user-hq4lr3jy9w if samsung is a dark side what do u call Apple haha
@@FiratKormec been there done that, I've had fold 3 and 4, I'm just gonna stick to the 5
Im stocks trader, so the fold phone is really important for me
Do you do alot of multitasking? If so, how is it working out for you?
I have both and can't let go of one yet, Time will tell.
Honestly if my Apple ecosystem did not exist, I’ll be on a Fold 5.
I agree that the fold is appealing.
Yep that ecosystem was a stroke of genius by Apple. Very difficult to leave.
Just use the Samsung eco system instead. It is definitely at least as good, and it is open.
Just don't use every single Apple product, why is that so hard to do?
Because they all work together easily. Once you’re in it’s hard to swap over.
I’m in this same boat I want the fold but I have Apple TV , watch , MacBook
I’m disappointed in the lack of “innovation” with iPhone
@@TheWorshipCollectiveTxI went S23 ultra, Samsung laptop, windows gaming computer, Samsung Smart TV. Once your in an ecosystem it's so expensive to switch, otherwise ide try the apple ecosystem. You kind of get trapped in the ecosystem that you've already invested in. 🙂
It’s like comparing apples and oranges.
A cunninglinguist 🧐
Your videos are outstanding!!!! You definitely chose the right career. I, too, have been in the Apple ecosystem (and more than that every member of my family). But this… this is tempting. With Luma Fusion (which I use often) now on Android… combined with DEX… it really can replace a computer for me. I’m going to follow your lead and order one (I’ll wait for the 6) and see how it goes. Thanks for this open and honest review!!!!
Thanks man, much appreciated 🤝
There are keyboards and mice that will copy/paste between devices, and the fold fits in like a laptop in a slot on the keyboard.
Sure, there's workarounds for most things. I don't want to be reliant on a bunch of extra hardware for those features.
I am sticking with my 15 pro max in titanium blue. Because.. It works.. With all my devices.
I'm not sure why people don't know that Samsung has something like FaceID. It has both finger print and FaceID function.
I have been able to open my Samsung Note phones and Folds just by exposing my face to it for years.
This works on other apps as well.
Great video! I'd love to learn about your work routine and your workflow for reading or studying all day. I recently came across a new device, the Boox Note Air 3C, an e-ink Android device, which might replace my iPad to take care of my eye health. Do you have any insights on this? Thanks, liked, and subscribed!
Thanks for sharing this. 😊
I’m at that point in life right now lol. iPhone 15 pro Natural Titanium and Galaxy Fold 5 Icy blue. The duo makes me feel at ease lol, I’m not missing the iPhone since I still have it present and I’m still getting the different experience that the Fold offers 🧘🏻
I have a 15 pro but I’m getting the fold 5 as well to use as a tablet for media consumption and to do work on (as well as a back up phone) . What’s your experience of having both phones?
What experience r u getting with fold 5?
The fold is truly nice. I am running the beta software at this time with it. What I can say is that it feels very futuristic like I can unfold it to use the bigger screen whenever I want to watch content on it, or simply use the flex mode on it so I can view the screen when I’m eating or maybe when I’m laying down. As for the keyboard when using it while folded, it needs some time to getting use to. When I have bad service at work, I usually place it near the window to take advantage of the hotspot so my iPhone can use WiFi, or vice versa, definitely helpful having two phones at the same time.
Well with the deal of a free watch 6 and discounted Samsung care for two years and 512 free upgrade I pulled the trigger on the fold 5 though haven’t got it yet. Though I still have the iPhone 15pm coming in November! I can only really afford one. iPhones are great but they are so samey. The ecosystem is no big deal I am sure there are alternatives, I love apple but when you get a new iPhone it just feels like ur old one. If I am wrong then I will go back to iPhone but you just need to try new things and I want to be more productive and organised. I mean look at the Apple notes app how basic is that , no multitasking, the reminders app, and we all get excited over a button on the side!! Marketing over imagination.
If you want a portable hotplate to cook on get an Iphone 15 pro max 😂
fold 5 is much better
The fold is wildly better…. It’s 2 in 1!! Both are amazing phones…have a 15 pro max but wish I saw this phone first
The camera on the 15PM is leaps ahead though. Don’t know if that matters to you.
Just prior to the iPhone 15 release, I trialled the fold 5 for 1 months.
I found that while a ‘folding phone’ design is far superior to a slab style phone, the current folding phones just aren’t there yet. Additionally, we need to consider that any comparisons against iPhone and Samsung is going to be more than just a comparison on form factor but also the operating system.
Ultimately, the Apple ecosystem is too good. If Apple were to make a folding phone option which essentially allows users to have a larger screen at will without any compromises of the front screen size and overall size of the phone, then it would be a game changer. I’m sticking to Apple for now, but if anything comes close to utopia in terms of design, I would be the Honor V2.
Man idk. I just switched from the 13 to the fold 5 and I wouldn't go back. Android eco system is just as smooth as ios imo. What about the ecosystem has you stuck?
@@imn0tgarbage Exactly. I have an iPhone and a Fold, and my Fold not only works with all my smart home devices, but my Windows PC and Chromebook. I think the Apple ecosystem is very good, IF you only have Apple devices... But I wouldn't trade my Asus Pro Duo for 10 Macbook pros, lol and I can send files and links, get my phone notifications and text family and friends on that, just as well as the Apple ecosystem.
The Apple ecosystem is carefully curated to get people in and imprison them there, imho. My XReal AR glasses just worked straight out the box with my Fold. I had to buy a specialized adapter for it to work with my iPhone. With Apple I feel like there's always some catch, something extra you have to buy to get it to do what YOU want it to do. With Samsung, more specifically Android, you are only limited by your own imagination.
@ShaunaMorgan and I can charge any device with my Samsung. My wife has iPhone, charger broke, and she wirelessly charged her phone up on the back of my phone.
Apple is just a marketing genius, branding genius. Once you have the iPhone ppl look at you differently, even through the fold is like $600-$700 more.
One thing that frustrates me, is apple has this amazing potential, but they just won't put all their tech in one phone, naw the pace it out over several years and several phone the milk the helm out their customers. There isn't one upgrade that been released on iPhone that hasn't already came out on Android and for cheaper.
And they make their loyal, very loyal fans settle for old tech with better branding but no customization. Had my S21 at the same time my wife got her apple 12 , and as soon as the 15 got released her phone slowed and her battery with last all day only last half now 🧤🥼
And the thing that pisses me about Samsung is no marketing or branding know how they will just drop a phone with zero hype 🤣.
At least apple you are hyped before the release even if its the same phone with just a new emoji 🤣
@@ronhali3164 Would you prefer Hype to be tricked into a jail cell or No Hype and be free? Android works with other companies while Apple only goes as far as needed to get their goals accomplished aka More Zombies!!! This al started from Hollywood Its 2023 People. Also aren't iPhones mostly Samsung Parts Internally?
That sponsored case is like wearing half a condom.
Live dangerously 😎
Totally the way I feel at this time
Great video, funny enough for me my macbook finds my fold 5 network faster and my airpods sync better than they did with my iPhone.
I hope between iPhone and Samsung every time I get a new phone, I went from the 11 pro max to the zflip 5 this time around
Remember, too much screen time takes away from productivity.
The down side of fold is not rough as iPhones and the tipping experience is such a boomer
Yes, if everything around your house is apple product, then ecosystem is doomed if you got a samsung device. If you have Samsung devices around your house everything is so friendly, that it is even unbelievable. 😂
It is very simple
use the iphone as your main device
and replace your ipad mini to z fold 5
people should stop commenting like fold 5 is a different form factor different purpose etc. My A** at the end of the day it is a phone. a phone comparision should be straight forward, performance, quality, features. see what iphone 15 pro max or s23 ultra does, then see if fold 5 can satisfy being a slab phone too or not, and then potray what more can fold 5 do than a traditional phone that's all. at this time fold is waste of money. 2 things they need to solve, too narrow of a front screen and fragile inner screen. instead of making the inner screen more durable, samsung or any manufacturer should think of a replacement screen which should cost less than 30$ and easy to be replaceable, that way fold can really compete with slab phones in terms of reliability and durability. and then we can focus on whats better. if you want slab take slab, have money and want a tab experience go fold. I haven't see an single normal or clever person using a foldable for productivity. its all marketing crap, its not even usable for productivity.
dude got bored with the iPhone 14 pro max so he switched to the fold..and then bought the same iPhone 14 Pro Max ..umm I mean 15 pro max and uses it now as he is wearing awu. I switched from ip14PM to 15PM (as my 14PM broke) and slapped a case on it and I see barely any difference between the two tbh
