I love the Fold 5. I used it during my international travel and found I didn't need a separate tablet or laptop. Seriously made things lighter.
@aronk3688 6 місяців тому
I just upgraded to the fold 5, just waiting for it to arrive and I am very excited. For me, I've always watched closely with how they were developing and as soon as I saw this one closed flat, I knew I'd be happy to give it a go. So I'm upgrading from the Note 20 and the fold 5 was actually on sale for me, ended up being cheaper than a fold 4 😅

Please, I want your help. I have an S22 ultra phone. When I open the camera application, the primary camera and the 10x camera make a sound. When I looked a little closer at the camera, I saw that when the camera is off, the lens is lower, and when I turn on the camera, the camera rises higher and makes a sound. Is this normal?

do your phone opens 180 degrees ? my feels like im opening it on 180 and then stays like 179-179,5 and i dont kno if this is a problem ??? PLS HELP
@TacoTechTalk 5 місяців тому
Samsungs and even other manufacturers Foldables are notorious for having this issue, currently mine does open up at 180° but I wouldn't be surprised if overtime it starts to require me to give it a nudge to open fully up

@user-rm1ie7mp2g Місяць тому
I bought the Oneplus 12 over the Fold 5 because I can't any UKpostsr talk about how much it will cost to replace the inside screen. I don't have $300 lying around for insurance either. Don't want to buy the Fold 5 and later have to pay over $300 just to fix the inside screen. My first Android phone is the Oneplus 12. I'm a iphone fan boy since the iphone 3.
@TacoTechTalk Місяць тому
Very fair point. For some switching to android I wouldn't recommend a foldable anyways, to much change in both the hardware and software experience. But Welcome to Android. Oneplus 12 is a very good phone to welcome you to the green side!

I'm just being hard and honest. Its always a love hate relationship with Folds. I love them for the different experience and multitasking capabilities. But then for my normal usage which for me is watching UKposts, texting, or scrolling socials, I miss a regular slab sized phone.

Only in Murica , Unlimited means actually 40gb then lower speed and 480p. You guys are getting farmed over there like the Matrix. Everywhere else in the world mostly , for example Europe, i pay 5$ for real, i mean real unlimited internet, unlimited (in my country ) calls+video and 250 minutes in roaming. Also the speed is 5G and 4G where 5G isn't covered, like rural areas.
@Labios_Rotos 5 місяців тому
Getting "farmed"? Cell phone plans in the US are more affordable than most other countries, why do you think people don't have the need to use What's App here? We don't get charged per message, unlike some parts of Europe, on top of the fact that most Europeans countries don't even have true 5G. You may need to sit down here.
@gazw9595 5 місяців тому

I pay $40/ month for truly unlimited. Never throttled and I use over 300gigs of data a month.
@gazw9595 4 місяці тому
@ajwilson313 for £49 on O2/telefonica which includes samsung z5 fold, unlimmited mins, txt, and data at max 5G speeds. Plus Switch up your handset every 90+ days. Can use phone for free in EU, US. Then extras that really make the difference, choose either amazon Prime, disney+, audiobook, macaffee and others for free and loads of freebies like free greggs (bakery), discount/cashback on highstreet clothes brands, food shopping, cinema and concert tickets, bar, restaurants and plenty of prizes to win

Not fully. Im back to using android, was on the pixel 8 pro currently on the s23 ultra. Watch is a galaxy watch to go with the s23 ultra. I use windows for work and a MacBook for UKposts. I use galaxy tablets and for earbuds it's a mix between Sony Wf-1000xm4s, galaxy buds, or my air pods depending on what I'm doing. So it's a mix. lol

I'd love to try the OnePlus Open but the more reviews I watch the more my excitement dies down. It's the software for me, yes the hardware looks amazing and one may argue potentially better than the Z Fold 5, but Samsung's one UI software specifically for foldable is unmatched imo

Opens up pretty much fully is a worrying statement.😂 if I spend that much on a Folding phone then I'd expect it to open fully especially after only a couple of months!😂
@TacoTechTalk 6 місяців тому
I meant it more that you don't have to force it to open fully flat, from past experience with previous folds and seeing other reviews, there's a chance that overtime and sometimes rather quickly the hinge does not fully open flat on its own and you have to not force it but give it an extra push. But I totally get your point, yes with how much they cost you expect to not have this issue

@@TacoTechTalk agh I see how it was meant now, thank you for clarifying. 👍 Durability and longevity are the only things holding me back from just going for it. Great video as always, keep it up! 👍😎
