  • The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 is over 6 months old and it's still the best foldable you can buy! BUY Z FOLD 5! howl.me/clP9B4x9NuH (affiliate)
    The Z Fold 5 from Samsung is the best of the best overall in the foldable phone world here in the United States. The OnePlus Open is excellent, but I think that the Z Fold 5 has a small edge over OnePlus, and the S Pen, and DeX go a long way in making it the best. The Z Fold 5 is also the best Tablet that Samsung makes, and I use it now almost exclusively over my Tab S9 and iPad Pro 12.9" that I have!

    I think you bring up a good point Samsung just wants to sell you one device that does everything. Apple wants to sell you multiple devices to do everything and I love device that you can take anywhere. I have a phone and tablet. It’s pretty cool. ❤

    I'm definitely impressed with my first venture into foldable phones ( fold 5 ). So far I've not had any reasons to doubt features on this phone. Especially going from a Samsung galaxy note 10+.

    I've always been a flip guy, then the. Black Friday deal for the fold happened. I love this thing. I still use my flip mostly at work but once I get home and have chance to relax im all fold. Taking it on a trip soon as my main phone, not going to lie I'll miss the small form factor of the flip but on thebplane and chillin in the hotel I know I'd prefer the fold. I was on the fence about taking it untill I watched this video and you pushed me off onto the fold side when you said it is great to take on trips. Thank you again for another great video.

    That One UI 6.1 update makes it feel even more amazing. The fluidity is just awesome. Traded my 14 Pro Max a few months ago for the Z Fold 5 and I'm still impressed.. I don't think I'll be going back to a slab phone anytime soon.

      Basically not giving us their best upfront. Always holding back so they can have something to give out next year and the year after that. Not being bold enough to just put out the best product possible that they have the ability to for fear of having to wait a year or two to put something new out.

      I know I won't spend like 2000 for a 6, I m happy to have a 5 for 1000. Fe version not for as I don't think it will support s pen. So I go ahead for a 5, and I can trade in later if I want a 6

    Might be the best foldable if you don't care about wasting money. I watched your video about buying a refurbished fold 3 video off ebay a year or two ago and pulled the trigger. Still going strong with my fold 3. I checked on ebay and you can find them for 300-600$ in very good condition. Not to mention you still get updates and security updates through 2026 (2+ years of updates). My only gripe is the battery life on the fold 3 since the snapdragon 888 isn't very optimized. I recommend the fold 3 still.

    I took a hard look at the Fold 5 and after trying it, walked away. Outside of the off kilter small display, it felt like two S22U’s tape together. Functionality was good, it was just too bloody thick IMO. It would be a much better device if Sammy found some way of making it significantly thinner.

    The fold 5 is really bad.
    The cameras are old and not good specialy the one behind the screen. It is like a 2008 webcam.
    It needs so much time to adjust the colors and focus. You open it up in the twilight and it paints your face red, specially in low light situations
    They copied the iPhone design and now it feels like a brick in your hand.
    The colors of the screens are looking washed out in comparison to my old fold 2, so the display quality droped but the price took up.
    Sometimes the Touchscreen is glitching and doing things on its own. Without activating the mode to use glows on it.
