What are your initial thoughts on the Fold 5? Check it out here ➡howl.me/ckfACzZexLq
Thanks for watching!
I honestly think Samsung went lazy with this model. It's a minor improvement to the Z fold 4, which doesn't justify me trading my Zfold 4 for it and paying $800 +tax after trade-in . I would say whoever has a Flip4 to upgrade for the Flip5 as you will only cost you between $50-$99 to upgrade, and the Flip5 is a major upgrade to the Flip4 I'm going to pass on the fold5.
Looks nice I'm really struggling between this and pixel fold or keeping my fold 4
I do believe you've convinced me to upgrade.
1. MAKE IT WIDER. While folded, the phone *should* be just as wide as Samsung's widest phone (S23?) and open up for even more real estate. This whole candybar thing has got to stop, because we shouldn't feel like we have to unfold it for every little thing.
2. Built in S-Pen. Come on now, there's no good reason that this isn't a thing yet. If internals is the issue, start with my first bullet point and go from there. We all loved the S-Pen on the Note, and this giant phone should have one! Having a case with an S-Pen is ok, but...where is the stand? Now we have to look elsewhere for that type of case.
3. Expandable storage. This isn't a huge complaint, but would be fantastic to have for many reasons.
I'm still using my Fold 2 and I'm not upgrading until Samsung makes more headway with those things. If they're not careful, Apple will release a foldable with all the bells and whistles that even Samsung users will be tempted to switch to.
Portland, JAMAICA in the Building!!!
I agree! This phone is a big upgrade. I have been waiting for it to fold flat before buying it. Ordered mine yesterday. I'm stoked
Congrats on the order! It’s a solid upgrade
The Fold 4 Folds Flat
@@SirBenShorts Opens flat, yeah. Folds flat, Nah. Big ugly wedge is gone!
@stephenhash I See I Thought You Meant Folds Flat To The Table/Desk Etc. Not The Phone Folding Flat To The Phone..

Wow, this is my first time watching one of your videos and I immediately subscribed. Your 1st look was far superior than any of the more well known personalities. It was more in depth than most of their reviews.
I appreciate the kind words and thank you for subscribing! Fingers crossed for a flip 5 unboxing around this time tomorrow!
yep, Shane's pretty much one of the few that actually goes beyond the bare minimum "spec sheet review"
I subscribed right after reading your comment without even watching the video beforehand.
He’s great. Therefore I am already subscribed.
Same! Just happened to bump to your channel and loved your review.
It’s refreshing to hear a review happy with the external display, I agree on the one handed use benefit. 😄
Glad to see some people out there still enjoy the narrow outer screen on the Samsung. As someone who traded in my Note 20 ultra for the fold 3, I haven't looked back. The outer display is perfect for one handed use. I have small hands so I'm trying to stay away from wider foldables as long as Samsung keeps this form factor.
the fold 6 may have a wider outer screen unless they make like 2 models of it which is highly unlikely
Excellent and comprehensive review. Many of the other youtubers only knocked the phone for its iterative upgrade, without detailing the improvements. Great job!!!! 👍
I ordered the exclusive gray color, can't wait to get this in my hands, I previously used the pixel fold, great device but I really missed all the Samsung features, looking forward to your battery review, great video!
'I can definitely see this display very well out in direct sunlight lastnight '
Thanks for your review for Fold 5 Cream. I've been waiting for this particular review and couldn't find anywhere else yet. Good work!
I've had every Fold in the series. Currently using both the Z Fold 4 and a S23Ultra. Love both devices for different reasons. Just ordered the Fold 5 direct from Samsung. I ordered the Gray one with 1TB along with the Watch 6 Classic and a Tab S9+. My name is Steve and I'm a tech addict 🙄
I just upgraded from an S21 Ultra to an S23 Ultra and honestly I'm torn and wondering if I should go with the Z Fold 5. I've never owned a foldable before but it seems so cool! Even though I know the S23 Ultra is a very safe and reliable choice, it's quite "boring" as it's 90% the same experience as my S21U. If you only could keep one, which would you pick?
@@Reicta for practical reasons, probably the S23U but the tech in me says the ZF5
Why do you need 3 phones?
@@adixar I have 4 cars too... I change up the Sim cards in the phone and use whichever I feel for the day. Many phones and one number.
Yea sure buddy, you got all. Lol
You've got a new subscriber. For a phone that everyone claims is the same as the previous, you made a great video capturing this worthwhile update.
Yes sadly this Fold 5 will probably not get the attention it deserves, but hey everyone is entitled to their own opinion and that goes for content creators too
Seeing you play games on the fold 5 using the controller was siiiiiiiick - instant sub. I pre-ordered the flip 5, can't wait.
Great video, love all the detail and comparisons to previous model, thanks Shane
Very well covered. Thanks for putting this out
Thanks for watching!
@@ShaneSymonds and forgot to mention that I subscribed. Hope you remain authentic to your tech. Keep it up!
This was such a great review. I'm over all the harsh opinions most reviews do and yours was simply stating the facts. Not someone who's sensational. Well done. Following.
The cream colour is 🔥🔥🔥 great video!
This is one of the best reviews I’ve seen so far
First reviewer that understands that the upgrades in a foldable phone are different than a regular phone. When it's a foldable phone you focus a lot on, well, folding. Great review, I love the reduction of size, weight, and hinge.
If it hasn't been 2 years yet then reach out to Samsung. You might be able to get a screen repair for not a whole lot. Sorry to hear about the break. Its very rare but does seem to happen time to time
I hate to sound like the choir, but this is my first time watching one of your videos, and I HAD to subscribe.
After watching a good 100 review videos about the ZFold5, you cover almost every physical aspect of the phone. I preordered it yesterday and am excited to get away from Apple since I've been using them since the 3G.
Edit: I saw your ZFold4 "9 months later" video months ago while deciding whether to change from iPhone to the Fold4 or wait for the Fold5. Glad I waited..
Wow for a quick video, this was very informative and it got me excited lol! I for one am upgrading from a Note 20 Ultra to one of these beauties here. I've been with the Note line since Note 4 and I wanted to experience something new and different. This is why I'm taking the plunge. Anyways, liked and subscribed dude! I like how you present your content. Can't wait to see more of your reviews! Now I really can't wait for my new Z Fold 5. 😎
Can't wait to get the 5, I've had the 3 for almost 2 yrs and like it alot. Just had half the inner screen crap out on me but for the amount of usage it's quite understandable. Couldn't find any other review videos on the Fold 5 but I'm really pleased you compared the 3,4 and 5 so we can see the progression of the series.
This is my advice don't waste your money on getting the fold 5 if you got fold 3 there's only a little difference and me I'm staying with my fold 4 and I actually bought you my self with me I never take out mobile contact only sim plans there's no point getting new phones every year that how samsung makes money bring in new phone same shit only a little difference
@@darky579no shit sherlock ? His money he can buy shit if he wants
@@darky579If the inside crapped out then yes, get a new one. Mine finally did the same after 2 years. So why not get something that we can use. Minimum 500$ to repair. Unless you have insurance. But devices become somewhat obsolete. No updates.
I just noticed how much smaller the speakers are on the 5! Glad they didn't make it sound worse. I have a grey 1tb version on pre order.
🔥🔥 thinking about going grey as well
Hey! Shane is here with his video ❤️🔥 also I cannot wait for the Tab S9 series reviews 👀
Thank you Shane, the narrow screen is perfect for one handed usability. When you are out and about it is very efficient. Then when you're lounging around the house the larger unfolded diplay is perfect for content consumption.
I just signed an paid for pre order Fold 5 . Thank for the info , cheers
The best pre review so far!
Great review sir! Earned a new sub.
New Subscriber man! Love your upbeat style of videos. This will be my first Fold so I think this will be a good place to start 😅 Got a $1000 trade in for my S22 Ultra, Storage upgrade and the new S-Pen case. Happy to join the "flip side" ... as they say 😂
You're the a reviewer I trust more than the big names on youtube.
Love ur videos I am subscribed but i wish u post more still waiting for the a54 review😊
Mine will be in just in time for my birthday🎉🎉🎉 so excited!!!!
This years upgrade to the hinge and chip were the selling points for me to switch to a fold over the SUltra. I have a 22U at the moment, I wasn't going to bother because of the camera but after seeing some examples from the F5, I really don't see the difference. Looking forward to mine coming next week. Just wish the Stylus Case was a bit more of a reasonable price.
Great video. I’m preordering the Z Fold 5 as will be my first android phone in years. I currently have the iPhone 12 Pro Max
Can't wait to get mine🎉
Great video. Glad to see someone with a real review instead of following the “don’t waste your money” narrative
Thanks for showing the cream colour. It is very clean and nice!
I can't wait for the Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra unboxing! 🔥
Yes. Finally someone else who.enjoys the narrow outer display. Great video.
Thank you for actually reviewing the phone instead of saying "iTs JuSt An InCrEmEnTaL uPdAtE" like every other major tech reviewer. Subscribed.
I want this phone right now. This looks great.
Thank you a actual hands on!
Excellent job!
Awesome, I also just seen first time your video and I finally found all answers for my questions about z fold 5, I pre ordered the cream colour and I was wondering if I choose right colour for me now I know yes You did excellent review. I even have exactly same case controller for gaming lol what a coincidence 🤣 Can’t wait to get my new phone soon 🤗 Thank you for this video. just saved video about flip 5 to watch later. 😊
Great physical development
I just pre ordered mine today can't wait to get it
Tempting. Thanks it actually looks a good amount thinner
Kinda want a foldable iPhone now, hated the idea at first, but now i’m envious of my loss productivity gains 😂 I find myself only completing tasks half way or chucking them on to my to do list because the iPhone screen sizes is well a phone.
If I had just enough real estate for certain things, I could see them through immediately preventing the dreaded inbox a 1000.
I was hesitant to buy it. But you're right about the improvements from last years model
I'm getting mines on August 2nd, and really excited to experience my first foldable phone!
Grest review thanks for sharing looks fantastic 🎉
My wife has the z fold 3 and likes it a lot. I just decided to get the z fold 5. Looks really awesome, great overall phone. And I got a great deal here in NL trough my (ING) bank. As regulair customer u can pre order it with lots off discount. I got the 1TB ice blue, with spen(case), film protector, charger for only 1289€. Great upgrade from my iPhone XR. Can’t wait to receive it.
This is the first Fold that feels like its really been refined to make the best experience all around for the user. Have it ordered with the new Classic 6 and cant wait to have my first Foldable!
It looks exactly like the previous Fold 4, no real to make a change worthy
Exactly, refined means it's a better version of the last not a complete redesign that has potential issues.
This is gonna be my first foldable too! My only debate is white or black 😂
@@TheJtube97 oh I'm so doing the special order blue. Gonna go out of my comfort zone for this lol
@@WhatsYourDadSnap yes, but i expected a real change
so enjoyed to watching your review, nice content.
ive just ordered my self one... thanks time upgrade from my S9, which has been amazing for years. great trade in offer on pre order as well
I bought the Fold 4 last year and I love it. I'm still deciding whether or not to upgrade or wait until next year. I'm thinking I will! The Tab S9 Ultra is sick as well! Bottom Line, Samsung rocks!
just did mine they gave me $1k plus student discount so I paid total of $600 for the new one.
Just wait for a new one. Its not worth, i have the fold 4, fold 5 all the same except new proc and thight hingrle gap. If only the screen ratio is wider in front ill take the fold 5. But nah, even the pen is outside the body.
@@damnfail9316so youll have to pay x2 next year. What does it matter
Thanks for this review. I pre-order the z fold 5 in Icy blue color, the same cover with the s pen, and the watch 6 classic 47mm. Can't wait to use it.
I ordered the icy blue color too. Super excited for it. Congrats on the preorder
Cool, thanks!
Black is also gorgeous
@@Voltar78 I was undecided between the one I ordered and the original Samsung gray color, but I didn't like the black camera frame, so I ordered the icy blue one. The black color looks great btw.
Thank you for the review. I currently have the S22 ultra and am debating getting the Fold 5. This would be my first Fold. Do you know if you can use wireless charging with the Spen case you showed?
That’s it. I’m changing my pre-order from black to cream. Love the way it looks and I’m afraid the black metal sides are going to scratch and chip easier.
Finally! Someone who gets it. Appreciate your video and spot on feedback. New to your channel and looking forward to more content.
Mine just arrived today! Easy set-up and my first foldable, so I'm excited for these further refinements. Got the S-pen case with it as well. Good protection, and you forget it's even there!
Congrats but just know as a three year fold owner, no one outside of fold owners will ever know the difference between your new fold or my fold 1or 2. And I can assure you that your device will turn heads and start a conversation but other than that, no one cares....enjoy.
@LordCommandor Lol. I've already noticed 😅 People at work are always so curious and they see it as a waste of money and stupid 🙄 Only Samsung fans are interested. But otherwise it is a conversation starter and it's nice to have something truly unique, part of why I wanted one.
@LordCommandor Random, maybe a personal thing, but I always feel odd opening it cause I don't want the attention 😅 might be just me though 🤷♂️....cool but someone always says something. Idk
Great review 👍
I pre ordered the fold 5 watch 6 classic and the bud 2 pro. Does it come with the pen? Or do i need to buy it separately?
I had the 1st fold and it was awesome I've just ordered my z5 can't wait phone is awesome
binge-watching bigger names talk about this phone and was thinking, this is not the phone i am looking to buy. this man makes me relook at Fold 5. i subscribed.
Can't wait to get mine
The fact you test osrs shows how thorough this review is 😁
Made me happy seeing you play RuneScape lol
I have not owned a fold and decided to get a fold 5. The upgrades seemed worth it over a 4, even though I would have saved over 600. Folding tight is important to me and I wanted the gen 2 cpu. wish it had 10x optical zoom tho!
I have owned the Fold 4 for a year now. And I can tell you it's definitely not worth the upgrade to the Fold 5. You have no clue since you yourself said you haven't owned one before.
You're going to love it.
Yup, me too. I got significant discounts on the 5 so there wasn't much of a price gap between the 4 and the 5, so I went with the 5. This will be my first folding phone. The only down side for me is that I don't really like any of the colors. I loved the gray green and Burgundy colors of the 4 but now there are only boring colors. Went with the online version darker blue with the black matte frame.
@@deltaechomusicnh555 🤡
@@deltaechomusicnh555slimmer, lighter, tighter hinge, better processor, better battery life, better screen, better heatsink, more durable. Definitely seems worth it to me.
Just upgraded from my Nokia 702 to this preordered this going to feel like a time machine for me
Solid review.
that s pen refinement was neat not gone lie
My impressions? Very impressed
Nice video.
Have you used gamepass streaming with it? I'd like to know how it scales with the unfolded big screen.
I agree and appreciate your excited optimistic take. While more of an incremental upgrade, I think it's a pretty sweet package overall and if you don't already have a fold or never bought the fold 4, it's even more worthwhile.
It's a refined Fold 4, more or less, and for some, even some fold 4 owners, it will be a welcomed upgrade.
The upgrade to the hinge, while seemingly small on paper, is bigger in practice. With the upgrade to the hinge, screen brightness, and processing power, alongside some great app optimization, it's one of the best smartphones on the market.
Is this box look wider than the other year box?They made their box wider this year, but they cannot make a outside screen wider enough on phone
Glad to see another user that apperciates the different use case of the z fold aspect ratio.
I went in on the fold 3 expecting it to be terrible and a hrorible experience, but honestly it was one of the best experiences ive ever had because i use my phone a lot one handed and in that aspect the fold is on a whole different level compared to a standard phone.
I also use multiwindow with youtube or something ime streaming while playing a vertical game, scrolling reddit, or chilling in discord, so the narrow screen makes everything fit well.
I appreciate the update and definitely appreciate you ☺️
I too did the 3 when it came out. First one first fold. I love it. Got it 2 years ago. Couple month ago i finally took off the factory plastic screen protector on the inside. That's when the fold part screwed up. Bad. Still half works when i open it but it's pointless. Use it as a wallet now. Lol.. Outside is fine. Ordered the creme one today. I also half checked out the goggle one. Not bad. I like the outside screen better than Samsung. It's fat. (In a good way)
I have just pre-ordered a 5 from using a fold 2. I would LOVE an upgrade review differences to earlier models to help others working out whether the upgrade is worth it or not. Looks like it is to me 😊❤
I am definitely thinking about a comparison video since we have a few generations now that look kinda similar
I went from fold 2 to fold 4 last year and the difference was huge the weight , battery life , performance and hinge improvements from the fold 2 was a major upgrade. Even the cameras were significantly improved.
I have preordered the 5 as well from the fold 2. Got a really good trade in with bonus trade $$ here in Australia for my fold 2, so was worth it to me. Wanted to look at the Pixel fold or honor magic v2 but would have to import them, but I decided I would rather have local warranty with a folding phone, also I know how good samsung does with the software.
I bought the fold 2 brand new off of mercari for 440$ with tax last year, right as the fold 4 come out. Definitely will upgrade in a year or 2 wanted to dip my toe in the folding phone market before spending 1800$
I am also wondering if it worth the upgrade from 3 to the 5. BTW my Fold 3 is still working great. The only issue I had was with the internal screen protector after 18 months (like everyone else) and I carefully peeled it off and am not using one at all. I am not rough with my phone, so, so far so good.
Considering the average lifecyle of a smart phone is 18-30 months.. Those who stand to benefit are the ones upgrading from the Z Fold 2/3 or the S20/21 range. Great to see the development of these Flip phones - keen to see where we will end up over the next 5 years.
It would be great to see a video of you going through a productive day using the Fold5 as your main tool. I’m debating getting one for work.
Hopefully I can give you an idea of that in my short term review, but a day in the life could be a whole video in itself. I'll see what I can do.
I still need some time to love the Z Fold. I'm not into very big screens, as a big fan of the S family since the SII I'm thinking of switch to the Z Flip5 as I want something different. 😁
Hi there. I see you have a Fold 3 and 4 did you have any issues with the inner screen cracking? I am not hard on my phones but after around 15 months I started getting a crack along the crease of the inner screen. This seems to happen to a few people. I love the phone but now really afraid to get another Fold because of this.
The pen got me to upgrade from the fold 3 alone... sure I'd love it to be housed in the phone... but this looks like a completely acceptable solution from first glance
Thanks for sharing your first impressions. I'm in the market for a new phone. Honestly, it was time - I've had the same LG since 2017. For now it's a battle between the Galaxy S23 Ultra and the Galaxy Z Fold5 and the more I see the Fold5 the more it's winning that battle. At first I was a bit apprehensive about the idea of a folding screen, but the more I see it in action the better it's looking.
The overall form factor - the ability to expand to a bigger screen when needed and have a narrow screen for actual phone one hand tasks like taking calls - is winning me over big time. It fixes the two major issues I've had with modern phones. The phones and screens being too big making them awkward to use with one hand. At the same time, if the screen is too small it becomes a problem looking at content of any kind. Seems like an impossible thing to ask (a smaller phone with a big screen), but a folding slate phone like the Fold5 seems to fix the conundrum right up.
Hey nice review. Its looks superb in silver or cream.
You could have showed a demo of speakers by playing it side by side.
simply wow
Moving from the 3 to the 5! Already pre ordered
Nothing beats that burgundy colour!
Long time iPhone user. Thinking of getting that blue fold 5
8:10 RuneScape!! Heck yea brother!! Old school is the best!)
Love my fold 4 it's the best travel phone bar non fyi great to watch movies on the plane ✈️
Yes it's amazing for travel and on the go use
Is there any improvement in the under-display camera? Is the punch hole hidden better than Fold 4 one?
i had some great phones over the years this my best one 😍
your dog is really adorable
What a time to be alive!
I just pre ordered my fold 5, I am coming from Note 20 ultra. This is going to be a huge upgrade and can't wait.
Man. I never had a fold. Expensive with a slightly stranger stylus. But after trying to make sketches on an S22 Ultra, I've been dying for a larger screen to work on.
The curved edges don't help either.
The Fold 5 seems like a godsend with its refinements and that micro SD slot!
There is no micro SD card slot
@@Tyler-uj5mf
Ah. Mistook the SIM tray for one.
@UltraVast if you can get a free storage upgrade like I did then go for it i love mine tbh
Loved this video, thanks for your thorough analysis! I've pre-ordered mine as my first foldable and am stoked. Can I ask which game pad you're using in the processor section around 8:02? Might be a good pickup!
Check the description! It's a GameSir controller
Great video, thanks for sharing with us all 👍
Could you tell me what those controllers are called that you attached for gaming and where I can get them?
Good review yaaawrr
