Let's face it, even though this wasn't sponsored by Samsung or Motorola, we all know, that in the end it was a great advertisement for Samsung.
Well, the best advertisement is, after all, a good product that actually works. Unfortunately so many companies, even Samsung, dismiss this fact nowadays.
It ended up as an Ad, because it survived. Do you think this can be an Ad for Moto?
It's not an ad. Samsung didn't even say it's dust proof. But it was. Motorola's fake claims put to test that's it
Yes! It's also a great use of the over deliver Samsung did, that we as buyers appreciated it so much!
Samsung need to pay these guys for showing how good their flipable phone is!
Samsung makes the most structurally solid devices and that's a known fact. No other firms don't even come closer...
Why does this channel have so few subscribers? 😮
Great job testing this for us!
if the Samsung wasn't folded inside water for 30 minutes and treated as a cake it literally would have been unbreakable.
I dont remember for how long (probably 30 minutes) but it was folded in heat (60°C)
But big tech channels talk so bad about samsung. 💀
Even it does die the fact that it's easy to repair which means you can use the phone worry free
This is why i just got my Fold5 as my first foldable. Basically, it lasts forever if you take care of it.
Yeh but you don't have to baby it. It's not really as fragile as a lot of people think it is. Just handle it like somoene who isn't clumsy and constantly drops their phone would.
True and just don't keep closing and opening yeah...
@Mesahys I can confirm it seems like you can open and close it till your hearts content. As if it's a figet toy... I will upgrade before 11 years, some days it barley gets folded
Micro dust will get inside the plastic screen protector and ruin the display with day to day usage. That's why folds have terrible resale value in the used market
@@maheshmurali2697 That's not where the micro dust gets in from. It gets in from the hinge as that's the biggest open point on the phone. The screen is actually pretty solid on there with no open seals.
This is what finally made me order the Z Flip5 today 👍 Can't wait
I was worried if I should get the Flip 5, but after watching this test and also the same test you did with the Flip 4, I decided to pre order the Flip 5, and I got it on August 9 and Im loving it, thank you very much for the teams effort, 😄😄😄👍👍👍
my flip 4 still feels like the day i got it and i got it on day 1, never dropped, scratch free and everything no case. and i dont even baby it. these flip phones are solid. now i use the 4 and 5 :D
Should have got a S23 plus, it's so much better and can survive a drop unlike the Flip.
The only reason anyone would get the Flip is novelty, because it's worse in everyway.
@@kowhaifan1249can tell you never owned a Samsung Flip phone. If you had one you would know how great they are. Also you recommend a S23 plus when everyone know the Ultra is better in every way. So nobody should take advice from you.
@@kowhaifan1249or convience like it is for me. Out walking each day far easier to have flip 5 in pocket than an s23 plus
update on your flip 5? i'm seriously considering getting it lol
I preordered my Flip5 after my very loyal Galaxy Note 8 finally died a few weeks ago. Been a loyal Note user since the 1st Note and I’m so happy to see the Flip5 surviving this much damage/testing. I’m very careful with all my devices, I still have a working Nokia 5800 XpressMusic and iPhone 6S... so this means my Flip5 will last a long time! (I hope)😂
also ordered a flip5 after my note 9 died 5years later !
I still have my old Note 8 and I consider it as one of the best as if not best phone I ever had. My thoughts on Note 9 were always that I was simply improved version of Note 8, so yeah both are amazing devices.
My note 9 still makes the rotation. Still a dang great phone compared to today's current crop. Only issue I've had is the pen sometimes will not spring out on its own. That's it.
I upgraded to s21 ultra in 2021, when my note8 died. Yours lived a longer life!
Great job guys and girls Samsung z flip 5 did much better than I expected 👏 well done SAMSUNG 🎉
great video! not even kidding, i was thinking about this exact experiment yesterday, and was wondering when there will be part 2, and it finally came! must be a sign haha, keep up the great work!
Wspaniały to był stream, nie zapomne go nigdy.
Great work everybody. These types of tests really do show it is possible to build durable foldables, and also expose the ones not building them as well as they claim.
A tip for the dust test, next year/time... Inspired by your cold weather test, how about putting he phone in one of those sealed boxes, with a lot of dust inside and have a fan blow dust around for an extended time while you keep folding on? That is maybe more realistic than trying to press dirt inside the hinges? 😊
THE BEST TEST channel - SIMPLE !!!
thanks guys 🤟👍✌
This is amazing! Durability video we didn't know we needed!
Very good job, more tests like this.
So glad watching this video, was thinking about this the whole time since using the z5 flip. Now I feel some what relieved
The best test ever. Can't wait for the following iterations.
It's not... all the tests should have been done individually. Buy many phones, don't mix a dirt bag test with a max fold test. Etc. This experiment was very unscientific.
A big thumbs up for doing this test. Awesome and thanks!
I think that opening a flip phone so quickly for so long (sans the sand and water tests) wouldn't be realistic anyways, because the friction is building up heat which helps to damage the hinge faster. But the test is a huge win for Samsung....which is likely to rarely have a hinge fail in normal use for the life of the phone.....which should exceed the average users ownership of the phone...or the screen will simply fail long before the hinge ever does.
Love the extra info! Y'all are awesome!!!
Amazing job guys.. truly IMPRESSIVE!
Thank you so much for this testing of the two flip phones. I bought the Razr 5g when it came out because I was desperate for a small phone which I could easily put in a pocket, even a small one on a rucksack. It was a lovely looking phone but very slippy frane so I dropped it a few times and it got cracked before I bought a case and hid the good looks. This year I bought the Razr 40 for the faux leather body. No need for a case, it's already grippy and looks great in Summer Lilac. I was so pleased with it until I took it to the beach and put it in a pocket which had a bit of sand in. The sand got into the hinge and although it hasn't yet affected the screen I can hear the hinge rasping every time I open and close the phone. I've spent months trying to work out how to replace the phone. Hate phablets. I already have a tablet, don't need to carry one around. This brilliant experiment has helped me decide to go for the Flip 5. Shame it's a slippy case so I'll need to buy one, but at least I can stop worrying about sand in the hinge. If some does get in, I just need to submerge in water, open and close a few times and hey presto, just like in the video!
Thanks to Mrkeybrd and all the volunteers for really helpful, evidence based, impartial testing.
So happy to watch this video. Its been 6years since i last bought my mid-range phone. When Zflip5 was launched i am super in love and pre-ordered immediately since i need to upgrade my old samsung phone.
Seeing this video made me proud how Samung is becoming more powerfully brave in tech of their new trends.
Been a samsung user for almost 20 years now. From a keypad, to a qwerty phone, to a tablet, to a midrange finger scan lock phone to flip phone
GREAT JOB SAMSUNG!
Honesty, breath of fresh air.
Thanks Kuba, for great Video! (like always) Thanks to you, my Flip is already in my dirty pocket, and it's awesome ;)
Great test! Keep up with the good work! Greetings from Brazil!
Great initiative.
God bless you.
Thank you Kuba for another Great Folding Test! You're amazing! ❤️
Liczę, że osiągnięcie o wiele większe zasięgi za ten filmik - Powodzenia!
Will you guys try out chinese foldables vs fold 5 ?
Any possibility of doing this with the Z Fold 5 and Pixel Fold?
Polish hero without a cape 😎 thanks Kuba 🎉
Thanks for the great work you've done. Now I know which smartphone to buy in a few years when they will become affordable...
Superb test!
Keep on keepin on!
Nice video! Subbed!
Thank you for doing this👍👍👍👍
Have used the foldables since the fold and flip 3. People think they are so fragile, but they really aren't. Sure the inner display a small bit more fragile than a normal smartphone screen, but it's not that bad considering the inside/main displays are folded and protected majority of the time anyway. my original z fold 3 I used to rock without a screen protector and did that for about 3 months before buying and putting a new one on myself and never had any issues while it didn't have the screen protector on it, not a single scratch.
Wow! Great job you guys
Good, that was so helpful
Why not invite Zack from JerryRigEverything to do the disassembly together? Would be a dope video!
Would it though? I guess that Kuba makes hisnown things, by himself and on his own money and rules. Co-op would require mich more preparations, maybe agreeing to someone elses terms, etc.
These are tests we need
Thanks for the laughs, I laughed out loud at the cake batter test.
Seriously, great test. I had my doubts about this phone... not anymore.
Shame that I JUST bought a new S24.
Next time, it's flip for me.
Good job, really appreciate it
This is such an important video.
I always thought motorola was better, but now after seeing these tests, Samsung's flip phone looks much better.
The RAZR is better in certain aspects...however, quality? nah...they're not there yet for their foldable, however, can't blame them as Samsung does make more money than Motorola and can afford to put more money into R&D.
Great video Mr Keyboard :)
Great content!
Great Test!
When everyone talks about all of samsungs "competition " no one ever seems to realize one big thing that holds them back on advancements is how warranties will be fulfilled. No one else actually stand by their product as well.
You guys are awesome
Great video!!
Too underrated video
No manufacturer is going to beat Samsungs foldable quality.
What about an aggressive fall ? Will the hinge breaks?
Since I've been asking myself this question, I don't think this was unnessecary information! At least now I know, if I do decide to get a Flip5, at least the hinges will probably last the 5 years I'll be using this phone. :3
Could you do that with the Samsung Fold 5? That would be interesting to see
watched this on the front screen of my flip 5. it's been a while since i got a new phone so i was hoping this one is sturdy. I'm happy to know that it's an investment well spent 😂
200k flips is probably half of their average testing that's why they decided to be more conservative with their estimation than motorola
As a user of the Z Flip 5, I'm proud!
Great job
When I am going to buy some tech, I am always checking if there is something about it on Kuba's channels. That's a trust 😅👏🏻
3 years is a good time really... In fact it's very impressive especially 11 years... Haha.. Most phones not just folds will stop working... 👍😊
Depois desse vídeo , eu tomei minha decisão , Z FLIP5❤ , parabéns a todos envolvidos
that was amazing show
Awesome 👍
I am waiting on my Samsung and pick it up on Tuesday. Glad I saw this. Its worth the money I spent then.
drop test is allways good idea
I have the flip 4 and it only lasted me one year before i got dead pixels in the hinge. I really don't want to go back to a non foldable phone, but every other phone i had lasted years.
will we see a similar test for the fold soon?
Z Flip 5 is the best flip phone of 2023. Compact, powerful and really fun to use. The window display is a game changer. The UHD 60 video camera is fantastic - content creators will love it. It really look and feels very premium too. No complaints from the day I received my preorder. Apple user for 10 years and the Z Flip 5 made me excited about mobile phone technology again
여기가 뉴스로 나온 그 맛집이군요 잘 구경하다 갑니다.
Save it for next year for next generation flips
Matter settled, Flip V is the winner by a light year. We will see in the next couple of years if it changes or stays the same.
By the way, these cell phones went through hell 😂
Thank you to all guys for maintaining a "Polish smile" during the folding test.
good job
Really interesting Jacob, but I'm more interested when you publish TechWeek
Please do test for z fold 5 as well
APPRECIATE THIS SUPER SUPER SUPER REVIEW! YOU GOT A NEW SUBSCRIBER!
Wow amazing
Please test the Fold 5 vs Pixel fold, Oneplus Open (or Oppo Find N3 which is the same)
this viedo was too funny for me, I will ordering my z flip 5
Ok, so as usual - to all the Polish folks - in the comment section speak English, not Polish, please, let Jakub's channel flow through the seas of algorithm! Great job, team Klawiter!
What is wrong with you Americans, not everyone has to speak English.
@@StrawberryLegacy Dude, I'm Polish. It's all about the algorithm. If the majority of the comments would be in PL, youtube might cut the spreading on the English youtube. And at the start of this Channel it was like that - most of the comments were not in English, and the views were very little. It takes a lot of time to make people aware of that problem.
Have a bearable Tuesday, Mate!
Your English sounds much more natural than in first videos :)
Imagine that folding in water first than in dust later they might even last longer.
I recently switch from an iPhone XS to a Z Flip 5, and after seeing this, I'm even happier to see than my investment was well spent😊
Will you do the Z Fold 5 vs the Pixel Fold?
Test Samsung Z Fold 5 vs other phones!
folding another mobile phone in half?ㅋㅋㅋ
@@minsipark yup, for example Pixel Fold or Huawei Mate X3 and VIVO X Fold.
i have my samsung z flip 5 and i really enjoy it but i had a small scratch on inner screen within 2 days
It will be gone as it has self healing technology
Super !!! Fajnie by było jak byś na końcu dodał po polsku and Znośnego Tygodnia hehehe brakowało mi tego ! 😂
Let it be a wearable week. Thank you from the mountain for comments.
Drop test please especially on the hinge, cus we knew the previous flip failed at drop on the hinge.
Not in context but my tab s8 went through hell but if you look from display side it still looks brand new anfpd back has some chiping
nice, very nice
I am curious to see the same test for the fold
The title is not click baiting enough
I have a Samsung Galaxy fold 3 5g and open the screen super super slow - I have started to see what I think is the screen protector coming off a little
Just replace the screen protector. A lot of third parties one. Whitestone is a good brand and it's easy to install
"I don't wanna say this phone is indestructible"
I thought the same about the note 10 plus... then it survived a 1000 ft drop
Please send it to Jerry! :D
Can y'all do foldable phones including OnePlus, pixel qnd Samsung?
Fun fact: He has a second channel in Slavic language
that's a lot of work
where is the upload of the breakdown of the phones
