  • For years, Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold line has been the king of big foldable phones. But that was due in large part to a lack of competition. With the arrival of the Pixel Fold, Samsung’s crown is in jeopardy. The question is, has the new Galaxy Z Fold 5 done enough to fend off Google’s initial salvo?

    My Z Fold 5 was delivered yesterday and I'm brand new to the world of foldables. This phone is AMAZING. This screen is simply incredible. I'm pretty sure Samsung has converted me after just two days of using it. I thought I loved my S22 Ultra. Well this thing is on a completely different level.

      Ugh!!!! I to just purchase the Z Fold 5. The first few days I let my partner use it because honestly when I opened the box I was underwhelmed. I am currently sending this reply from my S22 Ultra, which I love! I don't quite know how I feel about the Fold. Even though I have nothing to compare it to, except for my s22 ultra, I still was expecting more. One of the things I love the most about my S22 ultra is The edge panel. One of the edge panel apps that I have on my s22 the fold 5 doesn't even support. So clearly that was a bummer because I am not a fan of icons on my screen and the edge panel is a good way for me to utilize my most frequent apps without them having to be seen. With the fold five I had to create folders and then put them on a separate screen so I wouldn't have to see them.

    The screen brightness isn't a "minor upgrade". If you never go outside in the sun, then yes, there is no major upgrade. Most people do, and that super bright screen makes a huge difference outdoors. I was very very shocked how well you can see this phone outside in full sunlight. It's a gamechanger.

    • @andyH_England
      @andyH_England Před 9 měsíci +5

      Yes, it is subjective. In the UK we do not worry about having max brightness that high. Most of my phones never need to go above 50% but for a few times a year. But in the California sun having the extra brightness will be value-added though according to what I have seen it destroys the battery life.

    • @jordanjackson8873
      @jordanjackson8873 Před 9 měsíci

      @amfrepo generally it has nothing to do with screen Brightness. Usually is resolution and screen size that stains the battery but the peak brightness won't absolute kill the battery. In the folds case it suffered those detrimental features. Phones like the s23 line however, are more than exceptional when it comes to battery life.

    How exactly does the Pixel offer more "thoughtful" software?? Just because of the orientation? I swear reviewers are so biased to Google when it comes to software it's ridiculous. Samsung easily has the best software for foldables, more flexibility, more multi-tasking options, intuitive task bar, forces apps to multi window and also forces apps to fit the bigger screen aspect ratio, and the normal OneUI features that are actually useful. Just an all around better software experience and it's not even close. The only thing holding Samsung back is their persistence on not using a wider cover screen. As soon as they do that the Galaxy Fold will be the clear winner no doubt.

      Pixel Fold has smoother animations, a better screen resolution, a better AI in general, and a front display that is more useful. Fold 5 forcing apps to open for a better look is definitely not more useful. Blown up apps doesn't always mean better. Developers just needs to make apps optimized for tablets so we can all enjoy a better app experience overall

    • @waseemjaas7757
      @waseemjaas7757 Před 9 měsíci +23

      @@mfwolf86 thoughtful and smoother aren't the same and while I do agree that the Pixel's software is smoother it's still less useful than OneUI especially for foldables. And although Google's AI features are cool not everyone is going to get a use out of them because they are not supported everywhere and they're also pretty useless unless your 1st language is English and/or live in an English speaking countries. And as far as the apps situation goes, it all comes down to developers to optimize their apps for bigger screens like tablets and foldables. Samsung and Google can do nothing about it. But at least Samsung is giving you the options to do something, maybe you'll find it useful and maybe you won't, but with the Pixel you're stuck with litterboxing and there's nothing you can do to fix it. That's not thoughtful to me. Not to mention that the Pixel has nothing more that the most basic multi-tasking features that are available on any phone. So what's the point in getting a foldables if that's the case. That's also not thoughtful. Samsung made a software with big screens in mind while google just put android on bigger screen with no added benefit.

    Why doesn't any reviewer open both phones and put them on top of each other? It's the same internal screen, one of them just uses landscape mode and folds in half, the other one just uses portrait mode and folds in half. But at the end of the day, the inside screen is exactly the same, it's just whether you want the phone to fold on its narrower or wider axis

    I’m in the market for a new phone. Both of these caught my eye because it could possibly make it unnecessary to bring a tablet and phone. I just read the reviews on Verizon app . The Z fold has better rating by users than the Google Fold. Also what caught me was watching a review the operator stated when using an app on the front screen of the Google it doesn’t transfer over to the inner screen. Must relaunch app. That’s a nope. Looks like Z fold for me.

    True, I had my last laptop from 2014 till 2021. It did what it needed to do and I couldn't justify another 1500/2000 euro expanse. It wasnt after 7 years that I found my current PC wouldn't cut it any longer. I went from a 4th gen Intel i7 and a NVDIA Geforce 860 to an AMD Ryzen 7, fith gen and a RTX 3060. The difference was world betweens. I'll probably hold on to my current laptop for another 7 years (since purchase), at least.
    Also went from an Asus to a Lenovo (Legion Pro 5), brand loyalty means nothing in the PC world. Only Apple can command such a big and loyal following, and their entire brand is build around that Apple first consumer.

The narrow screen was just just such a pain point on the Z Folds I do think Samsung has a bigger advantage with the S Pen. I had it. Rarely used it. But when I did it was great. I just wished I had somewhere to put it. I never could find a case that made sense with it. Dex is great too but just not something I used but one or two times. I live for the day when I don't have to worry about having a phone, a laptop and a tablet. At the end of the day both of these devices are getting us there.

    Some of the people at Samsung should re-evaluate, they should make their fold in the same way as pixel, it's easier to put in your pocket. Samsung is lucky their tech is still ahead. Maybe let me be a consultant in future, I'm an engineer/tech business runner. Focus on a battery version more, let people have the options. As a business phone a foldable is very good and camera quality doesn't have to be a highlight as long as it's on par. They should also try selling their own heavier cases with embedded batteries for people that are willing to tolerate a heavier phone for that battery life or a ejectable battery cell so you can carry two, charge one at your desk if you really wanted to. I prefer something like I said with the case because it's less mucking around. Having said that, a accessible push in push out battery for swap out is a much better idea than doing something Apple does, and forcing people to buy new phones, check the market data. Your old phones would sell more with replaceable batteries and it doesn't mean your clients are going to go buy a Samsung phone again at least this way it's an incentive.

    It takes 2 hands to unfold a foldable, so doing a rotation to landscape and portrait while opening is basically the same motion ... So unfolded orientation doesn't matter other than where the crease ends up

    When comparing the Pixel to the Z Fold, it becomes evident that the screen ratio is the only distinguishable factor.
    Samsung is far more mature in the art of high-quality, vivid screens, long-lasting battery life, optimal productivity features, slimmer bezels, and user-friendly software and has a better processor.
    On the other hand, the Z Fold is specifically designed to maximize the benefits of its folding feature, which is clearly visible in its optimized performance.
    Pixel is designed for users who prefer a larger phone, while the Z Fold offers much more than that. Sorry, the review is inaccurate.

    • @eurly93
      @eurly93 Před 8 měsíci +4

      Yeah. Slimmer outside screen is superior for 1 hand use and creates a better aspect ratio for the inner screen as well when unfolded. The pixel prioritizes not opening the phone with the wider front screen which is literally the whole point of buying a folding phone. Win goes to the Z Fold 5 easily.

SMH reviewers don't give samsung enough credit. No knock to your video but you sound like everyone else crapping on samsung 🤔. I know I'm not the only one.

    Why aren't you comparing the original Galaxy Fold to the Pixel Fold . Seeing how the Pixel Fold is in its first year and the Galaxy Z Fold 5 is in its fifth year. Of course commenters are going for the Z Fold 5. The Fold 5 has 5 years of improving the design and apps. Just go look at the review that MKBHD did on the Galaxy Fold 1 and you will see all the gripes people are saying about the Pixel Fold is exactly what Marques comments about the Galaxy Fold 1. Which by the way was $2000 at launch.

    It's the Google Pixel Fold for me. I hate the tall and narrow front screen on the Z Fold 5, the Pixel Fold seems to give a more normal feel in use. And this also means I prefer the book style design on the inner screen. If the design on the Fold 5 was more similar to the Pixel Fold - then I might have struggled deciding. But in the horizon lurks the OnePlus Open. So for me it's going to be a interesting decision to make between the Google Pixel Fold and the OnePlus Open.

    Z fold better overall. Funny that when he said that the pixel takes better pictures, the samples show that the Z fold is the one taking better pictures 😂 Also, usable front screen depends on how you use it. For one handed use, the Z fold is better. The Z fold is also more comfortable in the hand since you can have more grip coverage. But if you're a biased reviewer, you will not mention that, oops 😅 And of course, a biased reviewer will mention that both phones are expensive but will not mention that you get better discounts and trade in deals with Samsung. Great job mister biased reviewer.

    • @Gemini530

Z Fold also supports full screen for all popular apps, which the pixel fold does not in a lot of apps. That is a big deal, yet he was mum about that. He got all the advantages of the pixel down, but not for the Z Fold. So yes, he is biased.

      You'd have to own both to get it . Samsung can't even get the back gestures to work without closing the opposite app in split screen for 5 generations , Samsung quick toggle stretches across the entire screen but the pixel splits the quick toggles on the left and notifications on the right , the pixel fold has better animations , more fluid ui , pixel recent apps is a small grid of window for each app instead of the z fold having each open app take a majority of the screen I can go on but the z fold has the better multitasking features and more usable dock
