    I too had fold 4 since last August. I traded it for the s23 ultra, and it finally feels like Samsung hit it out of the park with this one, I haven't loved a phone this much since my beloved note 10+. As far as the fold,4 goes, for me after 6 months I was over the fold. S 23 ultra is awesome in every way

    • @AlexGTech

      I understand that! I am a full convert now into foldable phones and don't see me moving away from the Fold, but the S23 Ultra is 100% the best device out there especially if you care about the quality of videos and photos. I can't praise it enough...

      Similar story here but with Fold 3 and S22U. I liked the Fold, but was so glad to be back with a slab. Note 10+ was definitely my favorite as well. I am intrigued by the Fold 5 possibilities however, and may consider going fold again.

    • @kaiichinose9590
      @kaiichinose9590 Před rokem +6

      Another amazing video Alex. For me I think the slab is more my style. Reason being because the display on the s23ultra is large and apps and videos are more optimized for it but also because I always have my tab s8ultra on hand or in my work bag. I honestly can't wait to see how much the tabs9ultra will be with the next version of snapdragon. I also don't like the narrow texting or super wide texting on the fold devices not even the flip as the aspect ratio is tall and narrow. If they made the flip a little bit wider and shorter that would be something to consider.

Camera on the ultra seems amazing but I'm just not willing to give up everything else to fold 4 does, just for a better camera. Plus I actually like the camera on the fold 4, it does everything I need

      That's where I'm at. I had the 22 Ultra and a Flip 4. Even with the camera difference. The ability to fold a phone is unrivaled.
      The Flip was great for fitting into small spots, and the Fold will be great for keeping a tablet on me with only the size of a phone.
      I'm stuck on which one of the new ones I'm dropping money on; but the Fold definitely seems like the way.

      He is so right and if you don't do direct comparisons there really is very little difference unless You use the zoom a lot..
      I will never go back to a slab phone ever plenty of experience with the 22 ultra, and the Galaxy Note. The screens the entertainment value just seems awkward and small using those phones. I thought it was just going back to the small screen on the fold front. But then I used my girlfriend's 22 ultra and it just didn't cut it anymore.
      The guy is 100% right The cameras don't really make that much difference anymore they are all great on pretty much any phone.. unless you're obsessed with the zoom..
      I really don't miss it most pictures are not zooming in like that.
      Even recording the moon I can only record 33 times my girlfriend can record a hundred times with the 10 times optical zoom. There was a difference but it was not that much of a big deal.

    I was going to take the plunge to the S23U but decided I'll stick with my Fold 3 until the Fold 5 comes out. Or until the screen breaks. Lol I would really miss a lot of the features that the Fold brings in terms of multitasking. And having a tablet on demand for video playback after recording footage and then making a small clip to share with parents is awesome.
    Great video. More real world usage than a lot of other review videos.

    Great video Alex, like you I got the Fold4 on launch day, and unless the Fold5 brings substantial improvements on the camera side, i will stick with this Fold4 for another year.
    Your video is on point. One example is the fact that the Samsung camera app on pro mode lets you use external bluetooth and usb-c microphones. I've never seen that with Apple, to be honest. I have moved slowly and completely away from Apple's closed garden. It was a pain dealing with iCloud photos on an android device, let alone downloading a copy of all my photos.

    • @AlexGTech
      @AlexGTech  Před rokem

      Thank you so much! Yes, I did notice that as well that the microphone behave differently, depending on how I was recording. It makes sense now that I think about it and still impressive. Honestly, unless there’s a lot of wind, I’ll probably just use the phone without an external mic, but great to know that I can use my Bluetooth and USB-c mics.

      Thanks Nick, I think you’re right. Under heavy usage though (whole day out from 8AM, recording over 100 clips in 4K, attending conference calls, using navigation, etc) the Fold lasted till about 10PM which to me was quite impressive. Sure it would be nice if it lasted till next day under that usage but with two displays and considering my usage in this example I was pretty ok with it. Comparatively I haven’t extensively tested yet but I think you’re right, the S23 Ultra should outperform the Fold…

    In your own personal experience, would you recommend upgrading to the S23 Ultra from the S22 Ultra? I ask this because I had the S21 Ultra (Exynos variant) and got the S22 Ultra (Snapdragon variant) through an insurance claim.

      @AlexGTech  Před rokem +1

      Thank you! My general “rule of thumb” when the dust is settled and I am not actively reviewing anything is: iPhone for iMessaging and work emails, Fold 4 when I am in the studio and catching a break on gaming, watching CZcams and Netflix, also the TAb S8 Ultra during the day for IT architecture stuff and multitasking with Dex (I am an IT architect) and now the S23 Ultra in the evenings at home or the PIxel 7 Pro if I am writing a script or texting a lot ( I love the speech to text on that). So a bit of a mixed bag, but the Fold is my go-to for most content during the day. Sometimes I pick the iPad Air in the evenings too.

I think I will go for the Fold and keep the S21 for "outside" days like boating, going to the beach etc as I am not sure that the Fold will manage those type of situations.

    Fantastic review Alex! As a songwriter, arranger - the Fold 4 gives me the multitasking ability to transcribe, notate and share scores on the fly. Coming from the note range (2, 4, 5, 8, 10+ and 20 Ultra), I'm used to working with SNote, One Note, NotateMe etc. Since using the Fold 4 (for almost 12 mths), it just makes my workflow so much more simpler and less frustrating. Apart from music, this amazing piece of kit has been valuable in my side-jobs as well.... Freelance Court Reporting/Captioning and Professional Photography.

    I start to had a problems with bloototh airpods on my z fold 3 after 1 year and half, so basically when my phone screen was fully open, every apps where I was listen something with the pods, was start to crash. I was only able to use with the phone folded. Went to Samsung, and the problem was hardware on the big screen ( even though it was work fine.) They say the screen is connected with many other features wich also battery and bloototh. And they ask me 600$ to replace it. (Out of warranty) of course no worth to repair. So now undecided to change for z fold 4 or s23 ultra. Which look less delicate compare those foldable phones. But when u get used with big screen such z fold, its hard to back to small screen!

    All i know is that regardless which phone you choose, Samsung has truly innovated in the space of choice for the consumer. I mean they kinda have always been that. Remember the "Galaxy Mega and how it was not only a tall phone but a wide one? IT was pretty much a minitablet with smartphone capabilities not too dissimilar to the Z Fold 4. The evolution into the foldable was a natural next step which makes the form factor much more practical and the general concept much more versatile.

I used to be a galaxy note user and my last one was the note 20 ultra and before I had: note 9 and note 10+ but when Samsung decided not to release a new one anymore and I saw the Fold 3 I definitely knew that would be my next move. Glad I did it because I love so much the Z fold lineup. Currently I rocking a silver Z Fold 3 and cameras are not enough for me to go back to the S lineup. Besides I've got an iPhone 13 Pro Max and still has an awesome camera... so I'm gonna wait for the Z fold 5 and in that point we'll see many people trade in their S23 haha... Z fold 5 and Iphone 15 Pro Max are my next combo🔥🔥

    I'm about to go for this trade to. The larger screen is a novelty running multiple apps isn't as easy as I thought the fold 4 would make it and it's too heavy. If they can make the Fold 5 slimmer and lighter I'd get it but that seems unlikely

This year I want to dip my toe into the Fold pool. So I am waiting on the Fold 5. Seeing that the Fold 4 camera is still capable of taking solid photos and videos considering they can't make it a beast like the ultra. I am now feeling better that the 5 camera will be just as good as the 4 or even a little better. Solid video again. I love that you skip all the spec info because it just comes down to how the phone works in the real world.

    Nice video. I prefer efficiency the Z Fold 4 was good when I had it but the S23 is so great at gaming and it has the best processing power that makes the battery more efficient thus drains slower and on the gaming side it doesn't heat up that bad like the Z Fold 4 so battery won't drain as fast
