Crazy how far the Fold has come! What do you guys prefer fold or flip!?
Fold! Love the Fold 4 more than the Fold 3
Fold. Hands down. It's ruined me for regular phones though
@@NeilHawke same. I do still love the s22 ultra though. I kept it for certain environments. As a Soldier, and stationed in Hawaii.

Fellow Canadian! I really appreciate you being one of the few UA-cam tech reviewers that understands the intentions and pluses of this device; having the 6.2 inch outer display for quick simpler tasks that makes the phone easy to hold and use one-handed, while having the massive main display for multimedia, multi-tasking, gaming, and web browsing. I honestly haven't understood the gripes that other reviewers have with the outer display, likely because they don't understand what it is for and how useful it is in a pinch or to use without having giant hands. Keep up the great reviews!
Thanks Alfred!! I appreciate it
exactly, having a big display outside defeats its purpose of having a tab size screen inside.
Agreed, unless someone has really big hands and fingers, the smaller screen when folded makes lot more sense for this form factor. Remember when Apple refrained from increasing the screen size on original iphones because it was more comfortable to use? This fold gives us best of both worlds, small and easy to use cover screen and big screen for multimedia consumption.
you can also swipe for one handed use mode easily
he must have a bad device. never had creaking noises in hinge
Fello Canadian here and Ex samsung user. My last Samsung device was the note 2 in 2012. I just ordered this beast and cannot wait for its arrival!!!!
Thank you for sharing Matthew! This was the first video that I came across on the Z4 from a few days ago. I bought the Z4 under 24 hours on learning about it. Finally after 10 years of ios, I took the plunge for the Z4. An absolute bargain imho if you compare the price tag against other premium lineups! This tablet phone offers an experience unlike any other!
I switched from the Note 20 Ultra. The new form factor is definitely heavier, but SO much better for one-handed use! You can actually grip the phone securely. Samsung nailed it.
Mine has no creaking at all. The crease is definitely there, but if I've been able to overlook notches and punch-holes, I'm not going to be a hypocrite and complain about a crease.
BTW, you're very picky. So if YOU'RE happy with this device, that says a lot!
haha i have to be picky for you guys! To make sure I nail all the little things that others might like or not like! Thanks for watching
I have a note 20 Ultra and I'm wondering how the photos of the Fold 4 compare. The closed size of the Fold 4 certainly feels more comfortable and secure to hold than the Note 20. Not sure how it compares in the pocket though. Any opinions you can offer?
@@rabies1952 The Fold 4 is a little thicker than the Note 20 Ultra in a Samsung Rugged Case. It's heavier, but fits in my pockets just fine. In fact, because it's so narrow, it fits better.
The cameras: the 5x of the Note is sharper than the 3x of the F4. That's my opinion of the native lenses, not the digital crops both phones resort to in anything but bright light. The main and ultra-wide cameras are comparable.
I've grown indifferent to phone cameras ever since getting into proper full-frame cameras; there's just no comparison. So I'm ok with the F4's cameras for quick snapshots, but the Nikon comes out for serious photos.
@@myfakeguuglaccount8307 thanks very much for taking the time to respond to me. You've confirmed what I suspected that the F4 fits better. You need deep and wide pockets to carry a Note 20! Your info about the F4 camera is informative too! Haha, yes there's nothing like a real camera!
I also went from the note 20 ultra. I'm liking it so far. Having a big ass screen on one end, and on another i can type with one hand. It's a win win
Loving this being an Iphone user. I almost feel so boring phone user now and kinda backwards. 😂Time to become an Android friend again! 🤓
Had the z fold 3 got the 4 and love the changes. Feels better in the hand, better battery, lighter, great multitasking, absolutely no issues. Great phone......all in one.....phenomenal job Samsung. If you don't like it or think it's to expensive don't buy it but don't knock it either. BTW I never had a problqem with the crease or the cameras it all worked very well. Don't understand why people put so much emphasis on cameras, does everyone walk around taking continuous pics? The cameras do the job. Yes a bigger or more efficient battery is always welcomed. I turn on the phone at 730 or 8 am 11pm I still have 15% with using phone Email, text, UA-cam videos, pictures etc. What is there to complain about. Everyone has different expectations but the z fold 4 does the job. Thanks for the review.
Thanks for watching !
@@MatthewMoniz you are a Canadian UA-camr?
@@msb8217 Yup!
Fold 3 owner here. Will keep my fold 3 maybe until next year or if they make a fold with a built-in S pen
One reviewer pointed out that when watching content while unfolded the actual video playback is smaller than the picture in the S22 Ultra or iPhone 13 Pro Max, because of the aspect ratio of the screen.
Just recently upgraded to the Fold 4 from the Note 20 Ultra... The fold is just in another universe in terms of the solid feel, quality build, productivity & image quality. I love the fact that you can easily hold it in one hand and easily type with it and when you need a big screen it's there to open up in all it's 6.8" display beauty. I got one h*** of a deal through Samsung getting $1000 trade in for my Note 20 Ultra (more than I paid new) and only paying $619 all in for it with 512gb of memory. You can't beat DAT!
Good review. Still rocking my Z Fold 3 and looking forward to the refinements that Samsung will bring in terms of software.
Nice! ya, id definitely hold off for Fold 5 or 6. Any issues with your Z Fold 3?
@@MatthewMoniz Android 12 update broke cellular connectivity so I was without the device for a week. Peeled of the inner screen protector because it started coming off on it's own. Other than that, it's been pretty good. Use the SPen frequently at work, game on it, watch content..it's been awesome.
@@canad-ian my inner screen protector also started pulling off after 6 months, hope the fold 4 will not have this issue
@@JoeGillian0 Yeah. Mine started like 2 months in. Subtle but started becoming annoying. Got my phone back from the A12 issue, and peeled it off. I have gained a couple of knicks in the crease since then I just noticed like last week but that's what insurance is for. ;-)
Honestly I feel like your one of the best reviewers rn ( you and eta prime ) but this is just SOO detailed and doesn’t miss anything I would really love to be a UA-cam reviewer and look up to your videos as young 15 year old I wanna do videos just like yours
Thanks I really appreciate the kind words! You can totally be a youtuber just start making videos = ) We all started from somewhere.
Got the fold 4 arriving in a few days after years and years of use from my fold 1! It has never broken still going strong now and I've broken every other phone I've owned with in a year, dont under estimate the fold 1!
I love this phone. I'm now a fold addict. ❤️😃😊
It's a pretty neat phone!
7:45 wtf up with the camera on the left?
I traded in my S21+ for the Fold 4. I think it is a great phone so far. Selfie cameras are a little lacking but that is not a deal breaker for me at all. Battery life has been a lot better than my old 21+ which is awesome. I do agree that something about using the folded screen really does just feel really nice and pleasing. I do kind of miss the under screen fingerprint scanner since that is easier for left handed use though.
I will be trading my S21+ for the Fold 4 when it arrives by mail next week! Do you regret switching over? Anything you werent expecting? Im personally super excited and ha e wanted one since the 1st lol
You can take the best of the best selfies with the main camera you know
@@andrusk2351 Yeah for sure, you just cant leverage that for video calls unfortunately
@@17mrbrightside I don't regret it at all. The only thing I'm worried about is cases. I ordered the neo hybrid I think from Spigen but I won't get it til next week sometime. It is pretty nice without a case despite that though. I would suggest getting a case with a kickstand. Folding the phone to flex mode to watch content is nice but with a kickstand you can more easily leverage the big screen size.
You will need to spend a lot of time customizing. You can adjust how apps display on the big screen (full/4:3/16:3) to try and get the best out of each app. Typing on the big screen in portrait mode is not very easy and you can't set the keyboard to split in that orientation without it affecting the keyboard on the outside screen.
Setting which apps will stay open when you open or close the phone is really nice. I can look up a youtube video or news article on the outside screen then open it and it displays on the big screen.
Under the advanced options you can turn on different ways of splitting the screen for multitasking (I don't like the new bottom bar and turned it off).
The outside screen is really nice but it can be slightly annoying if you are watching youtube shorts or tiktok because it won't add bars to the top and bottom to get the aspect ratio correct. Instead of cuts off the sides of the videos.
Long winded way of saying I think you'll like it. My gripes are small nit picky things and I love it overall.
I agreed! I found it much easier to hold than my S22 Ultra
Brilliant review! You make a very good point regarding the handibility of the phone when closed. Used to have a Pixel 6 Pro, and now a Fold 4, I find the 4 much more comfortable to hold, due to the width, and whilst thicker, feels better in my pocket as well. I quite like the weight of it too, adds to the premium feeling! Amazing bit of kit.
Not sure if this has been mentioned, but the "creaking" sound might just be the sound effect that Samsung uses for the screen locking and unlocking. I panicked when I first got it a few days ago because it sounded like a spring or something out of place, but I realized it was just a sound effect when I added my fingerprint for unlocking and the sound happened even when I wasn't unfolding. Unless I got lucky and mine unfolds silently, but I've heard this a few places and just wanted to add my two cents.
I agree 200%. When I first saw the Fold3 last year at Best Buy, I was surprised that it was smaller than my Note while closed.
Can you set this phone on the table and take pictures with the s pen or a timer ? Thx for the great video
I'm getting the fold at the end of November! Thank you for this review!
You are so welcome! Let me know how you like it!
@@MatthewMoniz Will do! Thank you so much!
One of the most honest tech reviewers alongside Flossy Carter. No BS, No Drama, just the review and the truth.
Thanks Koucy I appreciate it!
As an iPhone user, i'm so jealous of this phone! I would be all freaking over a folding iPhone. The 2 gripes I would have, which would NOT prevent me from buying the phone if I used android, are 1) you need to put your absolute best cameras on an $1,800 phone. You can't give me the cameras on your second best phone; no this should have had the same cameras as the S22 ultra. And 2) I would prefer a wider front display. It doesn't have to be crazy wide, but just a few more mm would go such a long way. And also, for heaven's sake, just get rid of that internal camera lol.
What apps are good on iPad but not Z fold 4? iPad doesn't have Instagram either. Android is now full of tablet apps for drawing and what not. Most used apps are also optimized for the fold.
I've had the Fold 3 for just about a year, and I really like it. Even though I'm paying almost $200/mo(Canadian), I still really like this phone. I really don't know if I'll want to go back to a 'regular' or 'conventional' phone. I think I might just stay with the Fold series. Time will tell, though.
I traded my fold 2 in for the fold 4 and whoa. The difference is amazing. My fold 2 survived the 2 years with no issues at all but I figured I might as well upgrade with my carriers upgrade program I have. Lasts a 9 hour trip with the screen on watching UA-cam and streaming HBO Game of Thrones at full brightness with %20 left. And that's on the big screen! They did a great job with this phone. My buddy with the fold 3 only gets around 5 to 6 hours full bright and streaming, so battery life has definitely improved. Still a fold fan after over 2 years of having them.
I’m keeping my z fold 2 until the fold 7 comes out. For me the phone dose everything the newer folds do just with longer battery. I like the 60hrz display because it uses less power and can still get me 7-8 hours of battery life. Battery saving mode helps as well.
@@corneliussmith5875 nice that's awesome, I would have kept mine but I'm a trucker and it started getting dinged up on the hinge and didn't open up all the way and also wasn't waterproof and I'm in a lot of weather so it was only a matter of time until it got water damage LOL. A lot of people think these phones are fragile but I had my full too since it came out and it survived a lot of drops and still work just fine besides not opening completely flat
Damn you get 8-9 hours of SoT with brightness on max and unfolded? Goddamn. Can't wait to see what the Fold 7-8 will be like then. I thought it was a huge gimmick but the more I look at them, the more I'm starting to see the appeal.
Great review you talked about a lot of things other reviewes didn't
Thanks David I appreciate it!
I am so glad that I waited for Samsungs latest reiteration of the "Fold"! This phone is the Bomb! I just wish that it came with the "S" Pen!
Do the full screen setting for all apps. The black border won't be there anymore
That nick on the right side of the table at 3:23 made me think I cracked my screen
I wish the outter screen is alittle wider also.
That would be perfect
I don't know if the creaking noise is normal this year mine does not creak at all, last years did though..
This is my first experience with a Fold phone. Coming from a Note 10, I noticed how much easier it is to carry around. One curious thing, you said you hear the phone open and close? For the life of me, I can not hear or feel anything while doing this???
Its just more of the friction its not loud or anything its just like a rubbing sound
Tx Matt this is the review to watch
I don t know how you managed to compare the camera with the iphone or the s22ultra. I just bought it i am very excited cause it is a really good phone but the camera is so dissapointing for the 1900 euros i paid in greece that i can t have it as my primary phone. I really don t know why they didn t put the s22 ultra hardware for the camera setup i really cannot understand.i hope they make the screen wider and put the best camera next year
Just upgraded to the 4 from the 2, the fact the main screen camera disappears, all be it pixilated is amazing. That little black circle was very annoying
Is there an app that can zoom out my game (pokemon unite). Love the fold and i notice that the game is zoom in (which i compare from my old phone and tell the difference the old phone feel zoom out and better and the fold feel too zoom in) and im wonder if there a way to zoom out to my personal liking plz and thank u
Spot on review i have fold 4 in my hands now and i m never going back to candy bar phones
Thanks Aakash! Glad you're loving the phone and thanks for watching!
I had the fold 4 for a few days and I’m sending it back. The pen has no where to sit and swapping it out for the kickstand means I always forget something. The screens black bars are very noticeable and the battery was barely ok at 5 hrs SOT. If the fold 5 gets a wider display, it would fix all of these issues. Better aspect ratio, space for the pen, space for battery, maybe even a better camera and fast charging couldn’t hurt.
They're saving that for the next iterative upgrade no doubt. Expand it 3mm at a time along with the price.
@@billbrooke4355
A Fold is supposed to replace your tablet, so it needs a good 8+ hours SoT and it falls a long way short, and when my iPhone 13 Pro Max can easily get more than this then...Samsung has to up their game.
I think having 5500mAh on a foldable like the Fold4 is essential. Obviously there remains engineering barriers preventing this, so I get that. But BIG screen needs BIG battery and that is something tech has to solve as we get more and more features eating the battery.
Great video. Liked and subscribed!
Thanks Gabe!! Welcome to the channel
Always look forward to your content Matthew great work as always :)
I appreciate that! Thank you Valis for watching!
@@MatthewMoniz Keep it up brother, glad you like the Fold this time around. Looking forward to the video of the flip..
PS. How long did it take from placing your order to receiving the FOLD I'm in Canada, I placed it on the 23rd, and it's still in the processing state.
I went from fold 2 to s22 ultra, my main factor was the camera, I loved and enjoyed the heck out of the fold 2, but I'll go back to the fold when they get the camera as s22 ultra
How do I get my screen to show the top of my Facebook app? I would send a picture but I don't see an option to.
You can also set video/gif as your wallpaper. Add that tip in there.
Nice review.....i ordered on Aug 22nd but mobile is not yet delivered...just enjoying watching reviews on youtube.
Let me know how you like it!
Been looking into a new phone and the inner display on the samsung z fold 4 sounds freat...would this be phone be a good by for someone who is legslly blind
Great review.. I have been using it more and more, than the S22 Ultra.. I still think my 13 Pro Max has the best speakers, and battery life.. I haven't had the bugs, you have had with apps restarting.
Love the z fold 4 .. upgrade from s21 ultra.. next upgrade fold 7 can't wait 🥹
Matthew, can you crop youtube videos by pinching and zooming to make the black bars disappear to turn it full screen?
...no!
Nothing on the DeX experience?
Does a Google Meet video call work the inner 4MP camera? Does that inner camera support Autoframing? Can you transition a video call from the inner camera to the outer Front Facing Camera and transition the video call back to the inner camera if you unfold the Fold 4?
I agree I think the front screen is definitely usable I find myself using it often I have no problem getting texts and emails off, love it for phone calls cuz it's super easy to hold and then when I open the screen it's glorious... this is my first folding phone I held off because of the small front screen on the previous models. I think they did what they needed to do. And the new Galaxy buds pro 2 are amazing I have Sennheiser tw3 and to be honest the Galaxy I think are better... As always great with you man I look forward to your videos
Great review. I currently have the fold 3 and my only gripe is texting with phone closed. Feel like the keyboard isn't wide enough and I make too many typos. So I pretty much have to voice text or unfold. Any improvements with texting on closed screen in the Fold 4?
Another review I saw said the screen is a little larger on the 4 when folded closed so it’s easier to text
This is not a glass display hence the spen tip is retractable while writing to prevent damage. Glass don't get indentation
is the crease in the middle very distracting?..
Some pretty hefty rendering glitches at the 7:30 mark. My guess is premiere ran out of GPU memory during output.
I dont use Premiere. I use DaVinci Resolve but it was not my editing software. I think the drive is failing that I record my videos on I saw it skip while I was filming
@@MatthewMoniz Cheers! Big fan BTW.
But, how can you consume content with the aspect ratio of the thing opened? I'm so used to wide screen. Though I must give mad props of them finally going under screen camera. I'm so over hole punches and notches.
Ya the bezels are definitely chunky but still bigger than most phones. 4:3 is really great for producity and reading though
In the bottom just drag and drop the app and it will show where it will be before you lift your finger. The Multitasking Capability is on another level, just have to play around with the phone and set up color type and Dolby Atmos and enjoy. The screen resolution is better regardless of specs. The battery last longer even though it's the same as Fold 3. Just a Slam Dunk for Samsung in 2022. Now in 2023 the Z Fold 5 needs a Z Fold 5 Ultra or Z Fold 5 Pro because us Z Fold 3 owners got a noticeably smaller phone when we got the Z Fold 4. But it's more Premium and Worth it but I want 8 inches inner display and a wider front display that is wider than just a few strings of hair lol 😆
I have z flip 4, I love it! This fold is nice too.
Nice review. I’m loving my Z Fold 4.
Mine lasted all day with 13% battery left ,I unplugged it at 6 yesterday & it almost reminded me of my 13 pro max unlike my ultra which doesn't last long hell I think my zfip 4 can last longer than the s22 ultra I recommend the z fold 4 over that phone if you want an android
No one complained about the width of the iPhone Mini and the Fold 4 cover display is wider than that phone.
That's true! Great point
Apple can do no wrong. Apparently
I am into diamond jewellery. I shoot a lot of jewellery videos and post on instagram. I am currently using the iPhone 11 Pro and the z flip 3. iPhone camera is the best in terms of video quality. however, the 11 pro cameras aren't the same anymore. I wish to switch to a single phone. Either the iPhone 14 pro max and an android side phone or the Z fold 4. What would you recommend??
Really confused.
I guess Samsung really flipped their ways this year ! I'll see myself out
LOL
The figured out how to fold in all their good ideas.
Don’t come back
great video, 👌, but I found out one problem: I discovered the new Fold 4 did not remember my FaceBook password,... after installed and logged in then logged out, when I came back to FB, I encountered that FB keeps asking for password.
In the old phone, the password was remembered and it automatically filled in when log in facebook, I called ( and lost a whole day with Samsung support ) but it appeared the matter could not be resolved, debugged.
Have you encountered such a problem ? or could you find out how to fix this... it appeared that something in the new operating system of Samsung that did this ( prevent the system to fill out the remembered password that stored in the samsung Pass )
Where you get the wallpaper?
This is an amazing phone! I think Samsung did a great job with this version. Biggest improvement for me is the camera. We finally get good camera hardware. That is something I disliked with the previous models.
Which is joystick is better for samsung galaxy devices
Someone can tell me the name of the glass his using.
This is my first ever fold phone, and I gotta say I cannot put it down. And I also can't stop downloading so many games and apps with the free storage upgrade lol
Lol ya the free storage upgrade to 512 is pretty sweet
@@MatthewMoniz before this phone I've never had a flagship phone never really cared to have one but after getting this phone I'm sticking to z fold phones. The tablet part and multi tasking is so much more useful than I thought it would be. Also amazing video!
This phone is definitely an accomplishment. I am not feeling the crease in the middle of the device. Kinda curious about the Motorola Razr 🤔
I agree its come a long nicely 4 years later! I'd love to review the Razr but they dont sell Moto phones here in Canada anymore /=
A case is definitely needed highly recommend
Rocking this phone and yep I can't get enough of it. Great video, but you sound a little iPhone fanboyish. 🙃
I be honest I thought I probably buy a fold phone in a few years but now I am actively looking for a good deal Galaxy fold 4
Thanks dad, been waiting for that one! 👍
Matty Mo spittin tha truth!
Thanks for watching !
Great review. There is some glitches in video around 07:50 mark.
Thanks Vladimir for watching! Ya a few I couldn't fix them. I think the drive I recorded the video to is starting to corrupt.
Reminds me of my NOKIA e90 - that had same form factor and it was awesome
As a tall guy with big hands. I don't have a problem using the front screen to type. I'm coming from 21 ultra.
I saw this at a local Samsung store for the first time (it was my first time seeing a galaxy fold) and it was just surreal. The screen was sooo crisp and just having a phone that size, I wonder what it's like to use the phone as I would a regular tablet (including annotating and reading pdfs). Coolest part I think is that it's spen capable. Will I ever buy one? Absolutely not. I nearly had a heart attack looking at the price. It's 5 to 20mos worth of rent here in my country so I just can't wrap my head around spending that much on a phone.
Is this phone good for reading books or comics?
This is my first folder, got it on tbe 25th and I'm already ignoring the crease.
I can’t believe we’re at the point now that we have foldable screens
It was designed to fit in the same area as the S22. Good eye Sir. Most people dont catch that.
When is the laptop setups vid gonna drop 🙃 ? I thought it’s going to be this vid
Soon!
Is it better than the note 20+ ultra 5g?
I love it but would like the fold just cause..
Keep your note 20 dude.
I have both but I still prefer the Note 20 Ultra. A lot or previews were emphasizing on decreasing or eliminated crease altogether but it didn't happen. I almost traded my Fold 3 but factoring in the cost it would've only been a savings of $200. I did trade in the Flip 3 for the 4 with increased memory for $99. Both foldables are doable in certain conditions.
Im on the fence if should I upgrade from a Fold 2. Can anyone advise me if it's worth it?
Update on Lenovo slim 7 pro x ( it's a mouthful ) if you could please
Good video but you didn't get the weights right, it's only 23 grams heavier than the iphone 13 pro max at 263 against 240 grams
Thanks! Yup, you are correct
4:20-4:23 weird blue flash on the screen.
How long do you actully think that folding screen will last? My guess is it is just landfill waiting to happen.
WEll I'vbe had a Z Flip 3 for a year and the screen is still fine. There's a few changes which Ill talk about in my flip video but I'll let you know in a year how it holds up!
@@MatthewMoniz how often do you open and close it every day?
The phone looks amazing, love the innovation and versatile use. I have to say though, the one thing still stopping me is the crease down the screen - my OCD brain will just not accept it. I have faith they will sort it out eventually though
I was the same but honestly after a few days you just do not notice it...
i think its super cool but i just cant justify buying a phone for the price of a laptop or tv
Not just a phone.
1) Can act as PC via Samsung Dex
2) Can play high spec/graphic games
3) have latest high end camera spec
4) Amoled 120Hz screen
5) Screen can fold
6) Can act as tablet with S Pen support
7) Play Xbox games via Apps while on the Go
8) Can flex and show off to your friends / family / collegue
9) All of that just in the size of your pocket
Also, i believe most of the cost are from the R&D department. Plus, with all the pre order gifts (Earbud etc). It kinda justify it for me.
Also, it will be even more affordable once Z fold 5 coming out next year...just look now at Z fold 3 'declining' price.
The crease and the black bars while watching a video for 21:9 or 16:9 are dealbreakers for me.
This is worth it if the software is also optimized (no crashing of apps from cover screen to main tablet screen).
At its price point, this is just for the rich who has disposable income.
Ehh I disagree its a solid phone now. yes, some apps needs to restart but its few and far between.
I think the black bars are smaller on the fold 3 because of the screen size difference. But otherwise you are completely wrong lol. The fold and flip series are awesome phones Even if you can't see their usefulness
If you want a bigger display, you’re always going to have black bars. You’re never going to have a 16:9 or 21:9 aspect ratio tablet screen esp on a foldable, the shape just wouldn’t make any sense. iPads have black bars too for example. And at the end of the day, even with black bars you’re gonna have a bigger viewing area for the content than a regular phone anyway, really don’t think it’s something you should be caught up over
@@extra4542 yes. But for its price now (90k php or around 1800 USD), would rather get an ipad or samsung tab, and an iphone or s22 and have spare change.
It targets a specific niche nonethless.
@@MatthewMoniz Yes Matt, but it still needs more improvement on its screen (better protective coating without peeling, and more refinement on the crease).
But I think those who can afford this wouldn't mind the compromise for just using 1 device instead of having a tablet and phone on the go.
I just don't see the point, and that fold line still bothers me. I feel like I would rather have more battery and less battery draining screens
Fantastic review.
Thank you Amir!
You have to zoom in on video to play full screen
If you use the front screen for 80%, that means you pay an extra $ 800 for 20% use of the inner display. That’s a iPad mini 5G price
Sure but you'd have to carry two devices at all times. This is one device there's a big difference
