Hi Alex! Once again a super nice video! Thanks! You're really a professional!! I do like your videos very much!! For me it's simple, I only own a Z Fold5 and yes, the battery life is so good now! Really much better than I had with the Z Fold3. I don't own a S23 Ultra. I think all photos and videos from the Z Fold5 are excellent! Please make some more content about the Z Fold5! I also have the S Pen case so if you have some more tips and tricks, it would be very welcome! Greetings from The Netherlands!! 👍👍😉👌

Got the Fold 5 after having a iphone 13 pro max for the better part of 2 years, was going to wait until the end of my return period before resetting the iPhone and giving it to my wife to make sure I wanted to keep the fold, not even a week in and the iPhone is reset and hers. LOVE the fold so much. Was waiting for it to be refined and perfected and I think Samsung almost nailed that aspect this year

Hey, regarding the 1080p DeX limit on your S23 Ultra - within the MultiStar plugin in Good Lock, select "I ❤Samsung DeX", and toggle on "High Resolutions for external display". This will unlock 1440p on your S23 Ultra! It also unlocks 4K 60Hz support on both S23 Ultra and Fold 5! (and 1080p @ 120Hz too! The screen must be fully off for 120Hz to work, so no AOD or trackpad screen) The USB-C port on the S20 and up phones all support 4K @ 60Hz, but it's been disabled in software and the MultiStar within GoodLock can enable it again.

Taking a photo and be able to scan a slide clearly when you sit at the rear of a big conference hall is the reason I would choose one over the other. Not sure which does the task better. Currently using s21u which does the task beautifully.

Z Fold series owner for 3 generations here. Slight improvements for sure year after year. Biggest issue is that Z fold series has inferior water resistance, dust resistance, battery life and camera just to name a few and I've had problems at one point or another with all of them! (compared to the S23 Ultra). S23 Ultra is the right choice based on my personal experience. Not to mention significantly cheaper which you can use the extra money for tons of available accessories if desired.

Tbh i can understand the productivity side of the fold. But that is where a laptop fills in the gap for me. Also i could not go back to a smartphone without the 10x zoom (i use it way to much for capturing small details in landscape as well as the 200MP for wide landscape photos).

Thanks for the video Alex. I have been using S22Ultra since the first time released. What i am concerning is that i always like to use the S22Ultra Spen to use it as a Remote while taking family photos with Tripod on and also press & hold the Spen button to highlights some text on my Whatsapp apps.. Since Fold5 have the Spen that come with the slimcase, I wonder if the Spen can do the same as what S22Ultra Spen does? If can't.... do you maybe do some test on Fold5 by using the Spen that come from S23Ultra (since you are comparing S23U with Fold5), this might be a good point for those concerning of switching S Ultra series to Fold series...? Thank you so much in advanced!! Much appreciated if you can solve my problem since the preorder almost over here in Indonesia. It is the best if you can reply me before 16 Aug as i want to place a preorder to get storage upgrade. Thanks a lot!!

Why would you get a new phone half a year after your previous phone though It’s your money, you do you, but that seems a pretty expensive purchase for something that you absolutely do not need, certainly your current phone has at least four years left in it before you start missing out on any sort of actual functional use

I'm still enjoying your videos because you seem to be having fun in what you do. This is my favorite video of yours in the last month. Loved that song.

I enjoyed using the ZFold4 but I hell the camera system of the S23U is amazing (i need the zoom caoabilities). That's why I went from ZF4 to S23U. And I had some disapointment with the ZF4. First I loved the fact that the phone was smaller that other phones and being usable with one hand. But after a few weeks, it wasn't so good. Because of the particular definition, the cropping was bad with image losses (twitter X for example) implying the use of the internal display. Another point was video playback. Most of the videos had black bars on the intenal display and sometimes the display was indeed larger on the S23U thant on the ZF4 internal screen.

I switched from the Flip 4 to Fold 5. Wow, can you fall in love with a mobile phone? I did. This is a total new experience. I always have a tablet with me and folded it takes less space in my pocket than the Ultra. I've seen so many video's and reviews and I believe much of the criticism is unjustly. Comes from people who haven't used it properly and for a longer time. Battery is great, camera is great, multitasking is without competition.... Looking forward to seeing more video's 👍 Oh yes, to answer your question, I removed the protection from my Flip when it started to peel off. Felt better afterwards. So I will do the same with the Fold the day I see it peeling off from the edges.

Something I have also been considering is that, if you also already have a pretty good tablet, go for flip or the s23. If you have an ok tablet and want a better one and don't care for the size, get the fold. The one thing though that tipped the scales is that my gf and I do sleep calls because we are distanced, and I read that discord screenshare doesn't really work well on the fold..

It's your personal preference and I respect that it's your money and you can buy things according to your taste But why exactly do you think the narrow display is inferior ? Do you really think that Samsung can't make a normal outer screen like a normal slab phone? There is a reason they are still sticking with a taller and narrow expect ratio. First you need to understand why folding phones came. Folding phones are thick that's why the narrow aspect ratio is easier to hold than a normal display. And the narrow display is not everything. It's for normal display tasks and Interactions it's not for 80% of usage. If you think your task need a work that can't be done properly in narrow screen than you always have option to open the folding phone and use the big screen. If you really want to do 80% of your task with outer screen and you are not interested in inner bigger screen then you need to ask yourself a question why are you buying a folding phone if most of the time you are using it as a normal slab phone then you should go for S23 ultra or something else. If only 20% of the time you will use big screen after unfolding it...

Hi Alex, your videos are stunning here! I'm new subscriber here. The cameras are not that vastly different from the Z fold 5 to the S23 Ultra: You have the same camera set up as the S23 plus on the Z fold 5. Only difference from both of those flagship smartphones is 200mp sensor and 10mp telephoto at 10x optical zoom and 100x digital zoom! The rest features are the same! I have been nit picking in stores to find the differences between both devices through hardware and Software, and I feel more gravitated towards the fold 5 as my first foldable smartphone in life. I'm just on heavy research and observation before purchasing the Z fold 5 when Black Friday begins. I must say if the processor is excellent then everything is going to be excellent on the smartphone. You have to thank Samsung's special Qualcomme Snapdragon 8 gen 2 for galaxy for this miracle.

I'm rocking the Note 20 Ultra since mid 2021 and I don't ever use the full 108mp camera besides nona binned camera which is 12mp. For someone like you who is a hardcore photographer, should stick with the S23 Ultra. The S23 and plus camera is a set up for consumers who wants quality but only demonstrates general photo taking and video recording capabilities at a flagship level but don't want the extreme like the Ultra version! Simply, you just need to ask yourself what do you use the most and value, the answer is there. 👍

I have the s23 ultra and to me battery is more important and also that UHD 60 HDR 10 video is incredible. I just miss the micro sd card. For z fold 6 or 7 they have work to do making front the screen wider , s pen inside, better camera , better battery etc

I have 2 days to decide to preprder and get free buds and watch with the zflip but I'm a note user. I have a s22 ultra that has a cracked screen and went back to note 20 ultra. Contact had finished but the jump from 20 ultra to 22 ultra i couldn't tell much diffrence. Were at a point were samsung ultra phones are at peak and upgrades are minimal. 👍 and subscribed, thanks for the video!

The S23Ultra was my first choice just for the pen, then I saw the Z Fold 5 and pen cover, and that was it for me. I like the Ultra higher res big screen, but I prefer the bigger fold screen, also I like the smaller screen and smaller folded size than I do the improved Ultra's camera. That said, the pen is the decider for me having had the note since the 3 and find the pen extremely useful, if there was no pen cover for the Fold then I would have had the Ultra without even considering the Fold and its features I preferred, but there is and I have the fold. I don't like the blue colour, but I got that one simply for the silver edges and type c port, as I found my black notes all scratched around the edges over time even with a case and it was visible due to the black/dark grey colour, and silver should hide that, plus my pen cover is dark grey and once on there is no need to remove it unless I need to change the SIM.

Love love love your vids!!! Wish I could subscribe more than once lol. I had the S23 Ultra when it first came out and really enjoyed it, but found it just too big. Ended up going back to Apple with a 14 pro. I visited the Samsung store and as much as I still love to hold and admire the S23 ultra, I realise the size is just too much. Then I held the Fold 5 - what a mistake - then I came home and watched this!! I have 2 days to decide as my carrier has a great deal on the Fold 5. I won't lie I am a little nervous about the possible damage to the inner display but it is so gorgeous - Help! Do you still keep the old iPhone? Perhaps I could do that too??? Just as my secondary device....decisions decisions. - still thanks though - really enjoy your channel
@AlexGTech
@AlexGTech 9 місяців тому
Such a nice comment, thank you!! Oh I know the feeling, its such a tricky decision as Apple do have a nice integration with everything else. My main worry was keeping my Watch Ultra in synch. But I gotta say... I tried a Garmin recently and haven't worn my Apple Watch Ultra for 2 months now! I even got a 13 Mini to keep things in sync but 2 weeks after that I realised I didn't even know where the phone was most of the time and simply didn't use it. The Fold is beautiful and I can get enough of it. Your concerns are valid though, the display is amazing but time will tell how durable it is. I will say this, I've taken it to the beach today and it went in my pocket for most of the day. Back at home I noticed quite a bit of sand on the display when I opened it. But nothing on the hinge and zero scratches. My heart stopped for a moment, but I'm shocked at how it looks just intact. They really did a great job again... let me know what you decidenin the end!

If the Fold 5 had a camera as good as the 23 ultra or 14 pro max, I’d love to get it. But I just can’t see myself paying almost $1,900 and not having a flagship camera. I know it’s not necessarily marketed toward people who use their camera a lot, but I just expect it to have a flagship camera for the price at least

@@DysphoriaRL People take pics of their products & post them online for their small (home-based) businesses.

Swapped from S22 Ultra to Z Fold5 and I absolutely love it. Only thing i have to complain about so far is I miss my stylus and somewhere to put it. Obviously the entire phone would be thicker (And as a result too thick when folded) if the stylus would be inserted into the phone like on S22. Battery Life being worse doesnt bother me much and in regards to the camera.. Well i dont really take pictures, (like 180 pictures ive taken and kept in the past 4 years).

The S23U Dex 1080p resolution limit can be fixed with the Samsung Goodlock app: Goodlock>Lifeup tab>Multistar>I 💚 Samsung Dex>'High resolutions for external display', then restart Dex and go to display settings in Dex and more resolution options should be available 👍 It's a shame that Dex resolution is artificially limited by default on some models and not even available on the similarly specced contemporary Flip 5.

Personally, I also think Samsung needs to expand the external screens of the Fold 4/5 by 4-5mm. But, if you pay attention, all the youtubers who criticize the outer screen of the Fold 4/5, are the same ones who cheered the iPhones Mini, yet, the external screens of the Fold 4/5 are the same width as those of the iPhones Mini 🤷🏽‍♂️ Also, I remain convinced that, Samsung must release a larger Fold with an external screen 5-6mm wider than the Fold 5, 2-3mm thinner and 1cm longer than the S23 Ultra, a Fold that once unfolded will have a bit the same display area as an iPad Mimi 6, to have full screen videos much more suitable, and a larger surface for multitasking. This will allow, to put a much larger battery 🔋 and especially better camera 📸
