![AVOID A MISTAKE!? Galaxy Z Fold 5 vs Z Fold 4 vs Z Fold 3 [Full Comparison]](/img/tr.png)
BEST comparison EVER!!!
So thorough, exactly what we want to see!
Someone said that the reason the sound on the Z Fold 3 isn't as loud as because of the seals for the water resistance.
im not gonna lie, the sound on the zfold 3 is amazing.
@@heartsineurope But the volume could be lower. Just saying.
@@quackityalt7213 shouldn’t you turn it down?
@@heartsineurope but a downgrade from the z fold 2
5 yrs later....
Apple : Now, we give you foldable phone. The i-flip !!! This is a innovation.
Forreal knowing them.
And they’ll make it better
@@PSYCHOV3N0M but I'm on the fold 3 atm
Apple always make a glass phone so they wontn make flip series
And that will be 100 times more usable than fold 8 lol
Definitely Zfold2 sounds better but it's because you cover speaker grill in your soud test 🙂
Let me offer a rebuttal, the grill of the fold 2 (bottom one) was blocked because it was side by side with the fold3. The same goes for the upper grill of the Fold3, it was blocked because of the 2.
So really, the test is accurate as both the devices are at a disadvantage.
@@NeelabhKhatri4 actually not, the fold 3 is sealed because or ipx8 rating...
It's because of the waterproofing.
I have both my fold 2 sounds far better
@@newb529 have 3, wife has 2 this isn't true. 3 sounds better.
One is water resistant and s pen compatible the other is not. I think that is enough for purchase.
Not worth an extra $800
@@abualzuaree i.paid 650 with fold 2 trade in
@@HeNnEsSy_HiCcUpS but u still gave them your $800 fold 2 lol didn't really save much.
Agreed
@Abu Nation To those of us who really use the S pen, the entire phone is pointless without proper S pen support and integration.
Just got my fold 3 and loving it! I wish the fold 3 was more squared off like the fold 2.
@@PSYCHOV3N0M you see how the fold 3 has slightly more rounded edges? You can also see it in on the corners of the screen. I'm a Note user so I like the boxy design.
do you think portability improves with 3 compared to 2 or is it exactly the same?
Hi!, did you test sound quality with both Dolby activated at same configuration?.
As far as the brightness of the screens, you need to be in sunlight to tell the difference. Manually setting the brightness to max on a samsung phone will NOT reach the screens maximum because samsung uses the ambient sensor to dictate maximum screen brightness.
You can trick it to reach maximum by putting a strong flashlight on the ambient sensor
So are you saying I have to turn on adaptive brightness even inside for when I go outside when I go inside adaptive brightness is too low when I go outside its fine. But I can't set it to max brightness manually when outside to see the difference that doesn't make sense I understand there are sensors.for brightness
@@ZacharyTech7 Well it does not make sense but it s true nonetheless
I was outside in bright sunlight with both the 2 and 3. I could hardly see the foldb2 set to maximum brightness. The fold 3 was beautiful.
Don't cover the speakers on the sound test. Yes, each of them had one speaker covered, but since you covered different speaker for each, and we don't know if these speakers are identical, it wasn't a fair test
Exactly what I was thinking while he was doing the test. Lol
The fold 2 speakers are louder. They put a screen in front of the fold 3 speakers to help with water resistance, lowering the volume a little bit. I saw a tare down video showing it. A bit unfortunate, but understandable.
Also Z Fold 3 is probably slightly less loud do to water proofing I got mine yesterday too and coming from S10 the speakers are amazing super loud and clear. I thing the speakers are a huge upgrade personally and couldn't tell a difference because I didn't use a fold 2 but the sound is amazing best phone speakers I've used so far super loud
@@ZacharyTech7 That's great to hear, can't wait for mine to show up, so excited!
After spending 24 hours with my 3, seriously considering returning it for a refund.
1. Crappy speakers compared to my 2 and I use it more for media consumption than anything so that is kind of a deal breaker from the start.
2. The screen corners are rounded off like an S series and on the 2 it is more squared off like the Note series which I definitely prefer.
3. You can barely whatsoever tell the difference between the 2 and the 3 when it comes to multitasking or flex mode or anything else for that matter.
4. Battery life on my 2 is better than the 3.
5. My 2 is in flawless condition.
6. I'm nobody's fan boy.....
I am going to spend another day or so before I make my final decision but that is pretty much where it stands right now.
I hope my little review helps people who are considering upgrading.
I'm returning my 3 and keeping my 2 also. That's a lot of money for basically the same phone.
@@mmednick1
💯 Agree
Good comment
@@hellothere3473
Thank You
Um water resistance, 120Hz front screen, the battery does last longer, under panel selfie camera.....nope not the same phone but you can love either for whatever reason.
Question. Do You Use Both The Z Fold2 And Z Fold3? Which is better for you?
Great video... But the sound test might've been compromised a bit. You have the 2 against the top of the 3 and the 3 bouncing off nothing. You know things sound louder when reflected off an object... At least that's how it sounded to me. Both could've been rotated to point toward you. And you didn't really touch on the water resistance at all which is a huge factor for phones of this size and price and the 3 I think is resistent up to like a meter under water for like 30 minutes or something I think.
Z fold 2 looks lot more expensive.
I think Z fold 2 looks way ways better, I mean just look at it, z fold 2 is a beauty, and the features are literally the same so, I prefer z fold 2
Boo z fold can't take water
I trust your comparisons the most because i know you've used it all year. Not like a reviewer who hasn't touched it most of the and came back to it just to do the comparison. Thanks for this.
For those of us that markup and sign a lot of documents, the s-pen functionality on the ZF3 is really helpful. Also, you can do the trade in and write-off the phone as a business expense to make the upgrade feel more reasonable. But you are correct that the differences may not be that much to justify the upgrade.
As a side note, I think Samsung missed the mark by not making a ZF3 Plus with an 6.8" external screen and an 8" internal. A phone like that could have easily housed the s-pen and would have been the perfect replacement for the Note series.
Do you realize how much that would have cost???????
They can comeout with 6.5 inch outer screen with 7.8 inch inner screen
@@kelvinmorris1991 fold users don't care lmao we already have money if we have $2000 phones, we just want to have a top of the line experience, not just throw another $2,000 at a small upgrade like the 3. I'll wait for the 4, or until apple makes a foldable to upgrade
Glad i didn't upgrade from the 2, I don't care too much about the cameras, but the sound is important to me
The lack of a cutout looks amazing and it doesn’t really show until you see it in this video… can’t wait for my fold 3😭😭😭 October 29th can’t come soon enough
So I'll just continue with ZF2 and wait for ZF4
This is what I am doing haha
We've reached a point with foldable phones where the zfold 4 will likely not change much from the zfold 3. Until we get bendable glass, the only changes I suspect will be with cameras.
Did you guys keep your word? I still have my z fold 2 as well. I might get the z fold 5. Mine has some damage on it. It's cheaper to trade mines in and get a discount on the fold 5
I just got myself a fold 2 brand new for 1000 bucks wanted to know if I was missing up on fold 3. I don't intend to change it for years down the road so what do you say guys? Was it worth it?
I was thinking of trading my z fold 2 for the 3. Samsung giving a good trade in offer. But after your video. I'll think I'll hang on to my z fold 2. Great video✌️
Right ! 😆
I would pick the Fold 3 just for the under display camera instead of the cut-out which is super annoying to me. I simply can not get used to it. It takes my focus and I prefer the phones with the pop up camera. this is the only reason I'm sticking with my S10e ... I'm waiting the phones with UDC to become cheaper.
Love the review thanks had information that other channels didn't mention
Is it possible the coating that they put on the components to make them water resistant somewhat muffles the Z Fold 3 speakers a bit?
Yes, you nailed it. There's a mesh screen over the new speakers to help keep water out, of which dampens the sound some. I saw a teardown video showing it. A little bummed we lose some of that nice audio quality from the fold 2.
Lol .....
Pretty sure it's all in our head
d sin θ = mλ (for m = 0, 1, −1, 2, −2, . . . ), where d is the distance between the slits, θ is the angle relative to the incident direction, and m is the order of the interference.
The mesh screen would cause a slight difference but nothing crazy. It'd be interesting to use a decibel reader. The water resistant coating should not cause any significant difference either...
No
@@RADERFPV but in exchange you get to frolic in the rain, if rain frolicking is your thing?
Wicked comparison just what we need to compare thanks you.
Just a quick note not a negative just trying to be helpful. When your testing the sound at 9.17 min your actually partially blocking the sound coming out of the speaker with the fold 2 so of course it's not going to be as punchy. You have them directly side by side. So it has no room to resonate instead it's squished out of the tiny gap. Move them clear away from each other then try. I bet it's better.
I had a fold 2 and paid an extra £700 to upgrade to fold 3 .worst decision I ever made it feels like the same phone Do not make the same mistake
You have the speakers right up against each other. Bottom speaker always sound better then the top speaker.
Thanks for the comparison. Blessings on your day.
How about the battery? Seems s888 cost more battery so the whole usage time are lower then fold 2
This year I just couldn't justify buying the z fold 3 lol I'm seriously still loving my z fold 2 and I just ordered a z flip 3 this year, maybe next year it'll be a large enough upgrade for me to trade in my z fold 2 for a z fold 4 or something along those lines!!!
What's your income?
@@RedCdot a significant amount.. why
Thanks for the review I made a great choice buying the 2 vs the 3. My husband paid $650 for it off Amazon.
My z fold 3 was darker than by z fold 2 side by side. It's this a software issue?
@GregglesTV Can you talk about Microsoft Swiftkey keyboard for the front display and how you can resize and stretch the keyboard for a better user experience?.. No tech tuber has mentioned this at all
I've wondered the same. Mine arrives today by FedEx and that's one of the first things I plan to update and see how it plays out.
I will stick with my Z fold 2 only real reason to upgrade is water resistance if your careful no reason to upgrade. The more durable inside screen claim I will believe it when I see it tbh. My fold 2 has been dropped into sand yeeted into dirt and dropped a few times. Now I have a nice leather magnet wallet case that for the most part keeps it clean and protected. After almost a year now the phone is a tank and the hinge still works and no cracks on either screen the front screen has a small scratch but I dont have a screen protector on it and I took the risk. still plenty usuable and tbh any phone would have a scratch after what its been through lol.
I've been waiting on this video where they was put side by side thx
Love my z fold 2. Best phone I've ever owned. And playing xcloud gaming with the controller for it is awesome. C'mon octacore processor with 12gbgddr5 ram and refresh rate of 120hz!
How many hours this will run with that small battery and large screen.
I got my z fold 3 yesterday! So far it seems great!
Good & informative comparison!
Hey bud. Great review by the way. Nothing new here that we don't already know. The main difference is the added functionality of the s pen and durability. For me, I have the 2 side by side now for 48hrs, and I firmly believe that the fold 3 feels a lot lighter and functional. My inner screen will get less fingerprints too. On the case, the non- s pen leather flip cover fits the fold 3 perfectly and slim (camel color)
Which one are you keeping
I have my fold 2 next to the 3 and it skips frMs with games and cameras... But I'm upgrading to the 4 with my plan... I wouldn't upgrade and pay more for sure. The 3 is nothin but the hidden selfie... Which any foldyboys know it's not that big of an issue anyway
Thanks very thorough I wanted to see if it had a protector for it I want to get a new phone and the folds were intriguing And I agree that the not much difference but the camera is quite a bit different and I was curious about protecting cases cases and some other things but I'm sure you have a video for that
QUESTION
Did you turn on dolby atmos on the fold 3 for your speaker comparison?
no. he didn't.
Thanks... neither did i lol
I'm glad I saw this. I didn't have it on either
all having fold 2----> dont seem to upgrade for fold 3 ---will wait for fold 4 ---for people buying fold for first time--can buy fold 3...correct me if i m wrong
Should I wait for the Z fold 4 in Aug 2022🤔
i'm wondering if the reason why the Fold 2 is opening things faster is cause thats the one you 've been using. So the cookies and history are in the Fold 2, which is not in the Fold 3. Just a thought. Maybe reset both to factory. then redo?
I was thinking along those lines too. Android is known to perform better over time apps you use frequently. I remember way back when Samsung used to promote how much faster our phones would get after using them for some time. Similar to what Microsoft used to say about Windows boot times improving over time starting with XP. Dang I'm old, I just brought up windows XP, lol.
Iphone12 promax or fold 2?
I want something new.
Looks like the bezels are bigger on the fold 3... Am I right? And the fold 2 is more boxi..
When you did the sound test . Did you make sure Atmos was activated on both devices ?
It's because of the mesh screens over the speakers on the fold 3 to help with water resistance. It lowers the volume some, unfortunately.
@@RADERFPV don't the f2 have that as well?
@@tRiXMaddy - I don't think so, but I'm not 100% sure. I haven't tried either device personally, so I'm only going by a couple videos I've seen about it.
I appreciate you trying to show the live comparison, but the brightness isn't active and shown until it reaches "peak brightness" meaning you have to be in direct sunlight and have on auto brightness. The screen gets even brighter than max brightness when sensors detect sunlight.
can z fold 2 cases fit z fold 3 body?
The battery on the Fold 3 is draining fast. I took Fold 3 and the Flip 3 off the charger at 9 am at 100%. The Fold 3 at 3:40 pm is at 35% while the Flip 3 89%. The brightest is low on both phones. Looks like Flip is so far passing the test. Pictures are really good as well.
I think Z Fold3 has brighter and more color than the Fold2 (comparing the blue/purple in wallpaper), you forgot to mention the Fold3 is waterproof for those who need that, I like the more square corners in the Fold2 than the Fold3 and it looks like the bezels are more thin in the Fold2, small details make a big difference but I'm still in love with my Fold3. People are really curious when I open it in public lol.
Only thing I really would have added to the Samsung fold 3 would be the same speaker system as the 2 and a micro SD card slot for external media storage. I don't like the fact that it forces you to save all of your information on a phone and if anything happens to it suddenly ybut suddenly your pictures and videos are all gone I'm almost you backed up to an online cloud storage storage or backup weekly manually dragging your files to a computer.
Got the fold 3 a week ago. It is indeed a great purchase. If you can afford it go for it! 👍
How’s the fold performing is there creese problem on the inner screen a lot of people were complaining about it how’s your fold
Anyone else wondering why they didn't make a Flip XL? no screen on the outside but with the width inside of the fold 2 and fold 3. More room for a third battery and S pen slot
How's the battery life 🔋
Same as fold 2?
Better or worst?
You're the only one I know who puts Viber app in dock, its kinda funny
I just bought the Z Fold 2 for $680 used on ebay with all accessories unused. It has a cracked back glass but I'll replace that myself. I got a steal of a deal. I'm upgrading from my Galaxy Note 8 64GB to Z Fold 2 256GB
How is it? You like it
@@abarzua21able i love it!
Having now seen the phone in person, I can say I don't notice the camera behind the screen unless you're looking for it and that depends what's on the screen, it also takes better pictures than my current phone, but my current phones terrible lol
As a long time fan of the Note series, I'm itching to upgrade from the Fold 2. I can do it with credit card points without cash but I'm probably going to hold off as I wouldn't know what to do with my old phone. Trade in value is minor particularly with the external damage like yous LOL. But great video
Not worth it dude. Not enough to gain by going to the 3.
I went from the fold 1 to the 3, different story.
For all my Fold 2 owner make sure you use the one yr warranty to get your phone replaced with a new one before its too late.
Why when it's nothing wrong with my phone
One year warranty is for the screen only they will replace the whole phone
True nothing wasn't wrong with my phone either but they give me a brand new phone. I'm not complaining
Something has to be wrong with it...
I always like the cams ever since Huawei and the iphone x brought it out, but a little smaller screen on the fold3
The finger smudges on my ZF2 make the upgrade easy. The smudges are most noticeable in direct light and I'm constantly cleaning the main display. When I'm watching content and a recieve a text I use the cover screen so I don't smudge the clean inner display.. The spen is the game changer. When they integrate a Bluetooth spen with the fourth generation the Z Fold will enter god tier territory.
Interesting take to upgrade based on smudges
@@RT_H1pH0p_ On a candy bar phone you can simple wipe the screen with your shirt really quickly and done not even thinking about. Not the same case with the ZF2. It's a quality of life improvement. I was a daily spen user on my last Note device. First world problems for sure.
@@Noonecares_AT_ALL matte TPU screen protector unless you're not adventurous but I understand you. I have the ZF2 so I get the wiping the inside all the oils and dirt you wipe to the edges 😫
@@RT_H1pH0p_ I've used them and they did solve the smudge problem. I unfortunately kept getting air bubbles in the crease a month or so after a clean install, so I just don't use any protectors.
Someone said something that makes sense they said that the z fold 2 does sound louder and might be cause of the water resistance that the z fold 3 has but z fold 2 doesn't maybe somehow that blocks out alittle sound
I feel the Fold3 has more slats for the speaker for water to seep out of and they must have waterproofed the speaker grills too. Hence the lesser sound output compared to the 2. I am just pontificating here. I have no proof of it whatsoever.
I compared the sound on both the devices and the 2 is a tad bit louder.
Huh maybe so, it would make some sense
Gregg how do you get rid of the black bars when watching movies and TV shows in apps
I show it in the video you just pinch in or out
@@GregglesTV I tried it with Netflix and it won't pinch
Do a charge speed test with that new charger
Compare the screen brightness with a white background
Am I the only one looking at his walpaper ? It's amazing !! Please give me the link to download it ! Nice video btw
2 years later and i still have my z Fold 2 and it Works fine. Even today with the Z Fold 5 they still the same, only Software Size is 5 better with more Options thats it
Great review 👏 there were 3 things people were asking from Samsung, and that was to make the next fold water resistant, done. To make it less expensive, done. To make the front screen 120hz refresh rate, done. To make it more durable, done. To get rid of the punch hole camera on the main screen, done. So everyone and there mother's can make comparisons between the fold2 and the fold3, but at the end of the day Samsung did everything there clients ask of them. And if anyone complains about the fold3 it's just sour grapes.
People who need 120hz on a phone must love burning money (and battery power). I just don't get it
@@andydxgame23 well 120hz refresh makes the phone run super smooth and fast. And with adaptive refresh rate my phone can go down to 9hrtz up to 120hz. So that saves battery, plus you also have the choice to either switch to a straight 60hrtz if you don't want 120hz adaptive refresh rate. So I'm not burning money.
The 2 looks actually much better with the smaller bezels
best phone review, I've ever watched so far. it helps me to decide not to upgrade!
U really should re do ur sound test comparison since u have the bottom speaker of the fold 2 touching the top of the fold 3. There should be space around all sides of each phone
Try using polarized sunglasses to determine brightness
Need a Battery Drain Test
Please
Interesting. A lot is better in the 2 than I expected
Nice. I got a deal to get the Fold 2 now for almost half price (1K), should i take it or go for Fold 3 instead?
fold 3 for sure, stronger frame, better look, water rs, S pen, no dot, outscreen 120h, screen up to 1200, slimer, lighter, and chip stronger once you play game longer you will see the different 3 fold damn better.
@@mengchhengheng2250 i got the Fold 3 for 3 weeks now. Hands down, Best phone i have ever owned.
Speaker has been muffled by placing both side by side without any space for air to vibrate
Good video. Another youtubers notice higher volume on z fod 2 , and this 11 grams weight difference is nothing. Another thing is and this is not known fact that z fold 2 is thinner than z fold 3 when is folded on 1 side, only hinge has smaller gap in z fold 3 in folded mode. So why they put smaller battery for thicker phone, don't know. Good thing is that z fold 2 got already update to one ui 3.1.1 and have now all those software bells like z fold 3.
The hole punch is still noticible comparing it 2 a pop up camera w full screen display vs in display camera the differences r day n night.
Mine should be here today...and it's my Birthday!!!
Zfold 2 camera looks slightly better which is weird considering they have the same sensor I was expecting zfold 3 at the worst 2 being exact same quality or slightly better cause u would expect some software n hardware improvements.
The reason that z fold 3 isn't as loud as because of the waterproofing they put over the speaker grills
The sound differences between zfold 2 n zfold 3 r subtle they differences r slightly noticable in real life.
Awesome thank you 😊 🙏 😀
Did you check to make sure all levels and toggle settings were the same?
Yeah buddy you can trust what he's saying on this one. Sound quality on my 3 sucks compared to my 2.
After spending 24 hours with this phone I am seriously considering returning it for a refund. I used the inside display as much for media consumption as I do for multitasking and that speaker quality is a deal breaker for me. Besides there isn't enough difference in the multitasking to shake a stick at.
@@CHRISINCOGNITO
Dam! Bummer! I'm a audio aficionado and was expecting a better sound from the 3 by looking at the larger speaker grils. Although I never heard the 2's speaker's until this video so I wouldn't know the difference. But coming from the Note 20 512gig Ultra I'm sure the sound will be better with the larger speaker's.
PS. I just got my Fold3 10 minutes ago and plan on making my second channel video of a unboxing later to day. Stay Kool.
Pss. They changed the weight to 2lbs from the 18lbs last night. Bummer, I was hoping they screwed up and sent me 2 with double accessories?🤷♂️🤣✌
@@jat-justamaturetech-philpj8285
Coming from the Note you will definitely have a speaker upgrade with the 3.
Why would you change to the day of delivery to 1.9 lb LOL
You are definitely going to love your new phone. It is a fantastic phone! Just not if you already have the 2 LOL
You know you can flip flop the back button and the multi window button so it's in the correct location on the left
it probably sounds louder because the speaker of the z fold 2 is against the z fold 3 and the z fold 3 is not against anything like bouncing off something
You don't have them spaced apart so you can't tell which one is louder
You did not cover the S-Pen features.
Fold three has slightly sharper photos from the main camera! Seriously they had a while to get the software right on these new phones I don't understand how they can flop.
Not much different sound quality both fold2 and fold3 for me..
I was thinking the same thing I would upgraded my Fold 2 to Fold 3 if the S-Pen would be inside the phone and front screen would have been bigger. I'm glad I pass on the Fold 3
i like your wallpaper....where can i download...😊
OK so I also had both side by side when I switched to the Fold 3 and I cannot confirm what this dude is saying. First of all, the screens are both noticeably brighter. This is especially obvious in outside sunlight, the brightness peaks, which you cannot manually achieve. Also you want to look at the whites when comparing, not the colors. Next is the sound. The way this guy is comparing the phones side by side, he is actually blocking the top speaker of the fold 3. I found the sound to be much richer and more bass on the fold 3. Also the fingerprint scanner is light-years better on the 3,as I found it quite crappy on the 2. The vibration motor is also better. Overall if you like the 2, you will love the 3.
waterprotection makes sound worse ..but you can always go inside samsung music and set you equalizer custom. turn the 16khz up by 5db...the hole phome will sound awesome
The z-fold 2 in your video looks more color accurate than the z-fold three. After watching more of the video I just think it's the camera angle and the camera that's making the screens look different. Also the sound test you were blocking the speakers on both of the phones. Lol
I think the 2 is sounding better because you’re blocking the main stereo output on the 3.
Got my fold 3 but just learned that the US version does not have esim capability
Im thinking about getting the z fold 2 it’s a third of it’s Price in a used phone store where im from.
