      Bro, you cheated on the outside test. You didn't use sane background images. The red and orange colors will naturally pop better in sunlight. The blues would be the least noticable in direct sunlight.
      So your test accentuated the Samsung 😛

    I'm definitely going for the Z fold 5. The pixel fold just is not there yet with the software experience, battery or app optimization. They should've spent more time making the software experience better for the consumers instead of waiting on the developers who have yet to make a tablet app. The consumers shouldn't have to suffer especially not for 1800, trade in or not.

Yes, outer screen would like to be a little wide but honestly I am enjoying it way more than I though I would. Media consumption is great. Cameras, while not flagship level per se, they are great!

    Just got a fold 5. Had an iPhone 12 Pro Max. It sucks being trapped in ecosysyems because there are aspects of Apple that work really well... like their accessory integration and iMessage. I was going to wait for the iPhone 15 unveil but I doubt there will be anything that would blow me away. Ive traditionally switched phones every year but I had the iPhone 12 for 3 years. Phones just hold up much better nowadays and there isnt much true innovation beyond iterative improvements. The Fold 5 is the type of device that got me excited like the good ol days when there were phones like the Galaxy S3, HTC One etc and they were all competing so heavily. Its exciting to see true innovation happening again.

The main downside I've encountered is my company only supports Apple devices so I can't load Teams onto my personal phone. That really isn't an ecosystem problem as it is more of an IT resources issue... annoying. Ive been very happy with the Fold so far.

  • @VantaVoid7
    @VantaVoid7 Před 9 měsíci +1

    CJ this was the cleanest and most thoughtout real life comparison with fair and honest opinions on both flagship devices. I'm currently rocking the Fold5 from 14Pro max. I do miss the battery life but the fact that iphone can't split screen or even toggle different volume levels for media is just straight up dumb in 2023. Apple is holding back features for no reason when it has one of the best processing chips in the game right now. SMDH.
    What you said at the end in summary is true. Samsung needs to make the front screen at least 21:9 like Sony does. The narrow front screen is sometimes great for one hand use but overall I find it more annoying that so much gets left out when viewing content. I dont always want to unfold my phone to do regular task like I used to on iphone like composing quick emails or with certain games.

    I have both.
    While there are some unique features of Pixel phones that I appreciate and otherwise miss when using other phones, there isn't much of anything that is unique to the Pixel Fold itself other than the form factor. It does feel well made, and its heft contributes to that. Kind of like a premium watch. The Pixel Fold's more comfortable outer screen ratio isn’t enough to offset its goofy inner screen experience, for me. The fact that the inner screen experience is mostly just an extended, versus optimized, outer screen experience makes it feel less than half baked, to me. Without anything else to point to, I see little value beyond their traditional form factors in Google's folding phone offering. Considering some things like better cameras and available kickstand cases, the price premium of the Pixel Fold over the Pixel 7 Pro isn't warranted, IMO. I just don't see much added value, at least not enough IMO with the Pixel Fold.
    I suppose the same, to some degree, could be said about the Fold 5 versus the S23 Ultra, but for me, because of the Fold 5's software which does much more to capitalize on the form factor there is much more added value. That's not to say some changes wouldn't be appreciated. They would. However, screen size or ratio changes aren't priorities on my "wish list". I'd rather see a silo'd Spen and higher capacity battery. Overall the Fold 5 feels like it brings more value and leverages the for factor for a unique, and better, user experience, IMO.
    That's just for me, personally, though. I think the Pixel Fold may be a better choice for some people, maybe even the majority of people. The Pixel feels more like a "starter foldable", that people new to the general form factor might be more comfortable with. There are people that could own the Fold 5 for a year and use the Spen for less than an hour, who'd never use DEX, and would care more about the outer screen ratio and flex mode ratio (for specific content) more than anything else. For them the Pixel Fold may be a better choice. Certainly if someone was coming from an iOS device, the Pixel Fold would have much less of a learning curve and take less effort to learn how to utilize all functionality compared to the Fold 5. Likewise, the Pixel Fold's form factor should be less of an adjustment.
    When it comes to value, one thing most videos like this tend to leave out is these device's potential value (either sold 2nd hand or traded-in) a year from now. My impression is that the Fold 5 will hold more of its (same) original cost. Likewise for something like 4½ year from now. So, if that's true, it would seem that the "true cost of ownership" for the Fold 5 would be lower than the Pixel Fold (even without factoring in things like electricity, cases, etc). Meanwhile, the Fold 5 would also offer more options, features, and more capable hardware.
    Still, while for me it is the Fold 5, if I was forced to pick one for my grandmother it'd be the Pixel Fold.

    @yellerthc6010 Před 9 měsíci

    From what i can gather from various picture comparisons, and even hands on with the Fold 5 myself, the Fold 5 generally has a greater amount of detail with the compromise of more contrast as well; While the Pixel has better skin tones and color accuracy, but at the cost of detail. Both are still really good for cameras on your smartphone that fit in your pockets, at this point its really just nit-picking. It could very easily be a preference thing at this point. Samsung has been pretty consistent, at least, at favoring a more contrasty, vibrant look, however, they could at least do to add an accuracy mode with the "pro mode" options.

    The Z Fold 5 is loaded w/ volumes of continuous different ways for one to use as their daily driver w/ ease for productivity (S Pen) and and fun... (camera / video)!

    I have both currently. Yes I know it's unnecessary but I like tech. I love the pixel fold for the camera and the form factor. I gotta say I love the Samsung for everything else. It's my first pixel so I'll admit I've been a samsung guy for a while and I just greatly prefer one ui to stock android. I love all the features and customization of the Samsung software over the more limited pixel. Dex is becoming huge for me because I also have the xreal air ar glasses and pixel won't even allow me to use them wired or wireless with it's limits. My dream phone would honestly be a Samsung fold with the pixel fold form factor. I do truly love the outer screen on the pixel. I want a small phone that is easy to use when out and about that takes good pictures. But when I want to work or consume media I want to be able to open the screen whenever I want. I see them both as being great at a lot of things but the fact that Samsung has had years to develop and cater their software to foldables it just shows massively with day to day use. I understand the argument about the outer screen being easy to use one handed on the fold 5 but it's also equally as difficult to use 2 handed when I want to and don't feel like using the inside screen and while one handed outside screen use is nice I tend to still try to use 2 hands because it's an almost 2000 dollar phone and I try not to take too many chances. And yes there are just some social instances when it is awkward to use the inside screen in public and that's where the pixel folds form factor just works better. I also think having a wider outside screen allows for the thinner overall design of the pixel and that makes it much more comfortable in the pocket as well. As of now my main phone is my pixel because I like the camera and overall design better for being out and about. My z fold 5 is my backup and a great power user phone. Essentially it has done away with my laptop. As far as other differences I'll say I love Samsung new hinge and the other thing I didn't think I'd care as much about is that it opens FULLY super easily compared to pixels hinge. I really didn't think having to more force the pixel open and flat would be that big of a deal but since I've been using them both Samsungs hinge just feels way more premium as a result. It snaps open and closed with much less effort. My hope is that with the competition hearing up overall in the category we as consumers really are going to have some great all around options in the next couple of years and Im excited for that.

      Very well said. Z fold with pixel fold form factor is the killer design. One UI is just unmatched at this time.

    Great video bro. I love the pixel fold. I actually prefer it over the Samsung. Samsung still can’t get those skin tones right.

  • @teedeedub1
    @teedeedub1 Před 9 měsíci

    I have both, the pixel has some cool features (I like saying "send" to send voice texts for example), but the Z feels more polished overall. The pixel fold isn't tested from a physical durability standpoint yet (too new), vs the 5th iteration of the Z. I'm sticking with Samsung on this one but it's close.

    The Pixel Fold has a front display that people use more then the inner display. The Fold 5 has a front display that people say is too narrow so people will use the inner display more. I like the one handed usage on the outer display of the Fold 5. The inner display is a no contest. The Pixel Fold 5's bezels are a no go for me. It's 2023 and phones are going the less bezel design.

    Well my Pixel Fold battery life is awesome running Android 14 beta I'm getting 7 to 8 hours on screen time. The battery optimization is way better and software changes. I don't have charge every other day getting a day and a half with medium to heavy usage. The Pixel Fold camera also has 5 times optical zoom for pictures which is a beautiful. It takes best photos compared to my Z Fold 3 I still have. Pixel Fold camera software makes the best pictures.

    I'm watching this on my Z Fold 5 and Pixel fold great phone I got to use it but I'll say Z Fold is way more optimized as it's the 5th Fold they made and also with pixel you will not find many reasons to open the phone since the front screen is so good I have no problem typing on front panel on my Fold 5 people are just exaggerating as for pictures if just point and shoot Pixel is better, when it comes to editing Samsung is King

  • @Rasheed21
    @Rasheed21 Před 9 měsíci

    I'm team ZF5, but to be fair I don't own nor had hands on with the PXF. I agree with Samsung's philosophy to keep the candybar form factor vs. the chocolate slab but, I feel they could still give us a couple mm more to mitigate the minor annoyances esp. with the keyboard. On another note for the PXF, the visible hinge on the inside and the massive bezel is just absolutely hideous and not pleasing aethistically.

  • @Millicente
    @Millicente Před 9 měsíci

    I don’t think it’s possible to get flagship cameras on foldables ever. It’s a catch 22 where if the camera tech or all other tech gets small enough to fit a certain sensor in a foldable while adhering to weight and thickness needs, the regular slab phones will always be able to put a better version in because they don’t have to engineer around as many limitations. The only way I see it working is if they purposely hold back slab flagship cameras to match. No one wants the alternative which is super thick camera bumps on the back of their foldable

Of course z fold 5 has better software experience and no one can beat their displays, but remember this is googles first iteration on the fold. If they can compete with a 5th iteration, that's saying something! You have to make your decision based on what matters to you the most! Great vid CJ, always entertaining!💯

    Z Fold 5 is the winner for me, I can't spend 1800 on a secondary chip like the tensor 2. It doesn't even stack up to last years chip, until Google ups its chip to a least compete with the current generation snapdragon or lowers it's price I can't see myself buying a pixel fold. They should a least give you a good trade-in deals but they do not.
