Like foldables or not, you still have to appreciate the engineering that goes in those hinges

After working with computers etc for over 4 decades I'd love to travel back in time to the 80's with one of these in my pocket! We seem to take it for granted but not so long ago this tech would be science fiction!!

The battery pull tab is great for reparability, but it's a little odd how Samsung has put them on a model where it seems impossible to remove either screen without destroying them.

"With the screen successfully unsuccessfully removed" 🤣🤣🤣

I have this phone and it hurt my soul to see the inner screen get mangled lol. It's first folding phone and I love it.

"Now, as an adult, you can go out whenever you want, but here we both are" Jerry you crack me up, thanks man

The engineering of this thing is pretty insane to be fair

I laughed too hard at “since I’m 70% water” 😂

Love the lil Jon and Eastside boys reference of that is what that was. "from the window to wall" 😂

Hey Zack. What do you do with the parts/pieces after a tear down? Recycle? Sell them to repair shops? Plant them in the raised beds and hope for a new crop?

Fabulous teardown Zack! Thank you!

I have enormous respect for Samsung for developing the foldable phone and taking the phone tech ahead .. as people are about to get bored on regular " pro" screens; imagine if we had to wait for Apple; it feels like no more lead forward after the original iPhone release. It's all about their profit margin,

As a Samsung technician, i'd say the 5th generation of Samsung foldables are quite flimsy to work on. Flip 5 is a bit easier opening up with basic tools, but the fold 5 sub Octa screen (small screen) needs special equipment as it sits flash into the frame and the tape adhesive used on it holds too much. Same case with the Samsung S9 ultra tablet, adhesive design is quite tricky. Technicians stay alert!

_"From the window...._ _to the wall...._ 😏" *Well* played, sir. 😅

That was cool to see. Amazing how they come up with that engineering

It really is interesting to see what's inside a folding phone, thanks jerry!

"From the window, to the wall" Damnit, now that song will be on my mind for the rest of the evening

0:27: 📱 The Samsung z-fold 5 is difficult to take apart, with a well-attached plastic bumper around the flexible screen. 3:47: 🔧 The teardown reveals the components and construction of the Samsung phone. 7:51: 🔧 The teardown of the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra reveals the absence of thermal paste and the complex structure of the new flex hinge. Recap by Tammy AI

I like the labelling on the ribbon cables, seems to me like a W for repairability

That hinge is pretty impressive.

I have never seen the inside of any cell phones, let alone the Z Fold 5. Impressive! I have no idea what most of the guts are, but it sure was fascinating to watch. This was the first video from your channel that I have watched. I am intrigued, and have subscribed 👍

Got the s23ultra couldn't be happier! I swear the newer ones made later in the year have 0 display issues like earlier. Coming from the s21 ultra my s23 ultra has even more color. No bubbles on the panel either! They definitely listened to the complaints and changed the panels. It's so dang good and crispy!

The way you tear down these expensive phones so mercilessly it really hearts breaking, but still its satisfying and informative.

Wow im very impressed. Thanks for the video

Hey Zack, owner of Flip 4 here, the microscopic sand that got into the hinge actually IS an issue. The reason is that once it's there, after you use it for a couple of weeks, the ribbons that connect the halves of the phone get sanded away. So my phone, after some dust got inside and it was working seemingly fine for a while, first had it's microphone disconnected, then the screen, then the screen had magically reconnected, so I used it without a working mic for a while, but after another few weeks, the lower battery started disconnecting, so when I fold the phone, it turns off immediately and shows bad battery. And you know what? To replace those ribbons, that cost 25 centa each, is the same as replacing the entire screen with the phone body, which costs hundreds of dollars, because guess what everything is glued shut and none of those parts any repair services are willing to replace on their own. So please tell about that to your subscribers next time. Thanks for your video :) I'll be trying to fix my flip 4 myself by swapping the working screen into a donor phone soon, we'll see how it goes, hope isopropyl alcohol helps :)

Casually says " from the window , to the wall " 😂😂😂

when i worked at a repair store all of the flip fold screen repairs meant taking the innerds of the host phone and putting it in a new phone since taking the screen off isn't worth potential damage. It also helped that all of these repairs were warranty repairs

Wow the engineering behind those hinges are awsome

I thought shock dispersion made me think of a 3DS lower screen made of soft clear material, but I was wrong though. 😅 My mom bought this Z fold 5 already and we have to be careful not to accidentally break it. It's amazing lil folding gadget Mom enjoys taking calls without huge battery drains. 😊😊 But also taking pictures of her garden and sharing with friends.

Would love to see a side by side video of the fold 3,4,5, hinges, and see what the differences are.

That hinge is really amazing engineering creation

*Love your videos. Keep up the good work 👍*

5:13 I'll pull out the NFC coil which works. Not confused with NFTs, which doesn't work 😅

It's really sturdy. I like it.

the hinge is incredible simple, very different of what i thought.

I like the surgical precision that was applied in this video.

From personal experience as a former repair tech, the fold 4 required alcohol and heat to soften the adhesive to safely remove the front screen. I assume the 5 is the same way

Just warranty replaced my Fold 4 for a second time in a year. The first time, it just shut off and stopped working, would not power on. In my research many of the first ones had a problem with the lego connector of one of the ribbons not being set well at manufacturing and they were poping loose fairly early on. I think that was a manufacturing flaw that was fixed relatively quickly. The second one I just replaced today had the dreaded won't open all the way problem. I think as his video shows, fine dirt will get into the hinge area and gum up the works. So kept using with just the slight bend 175° when open, annoying but everything still worked. Problem though after a few months using like this the built in screen protector started to peal up down the middle to the point 1 inch strip hovering over the screen. Many said once you get to that happening repair/replacement or the internal screen will crack and they will say it was your fault. Verizon Extended warranty is covering this one. I think the next innovation the Fold 6 should have is the screws that hold the rear hinge center section, or spine, should be on the outside. So a technician without removing any displays or back glass could remove that spine of the fold while closed, and could vacuum/compressed air clean out the hinge of fine dirt and dust, completely, then graphite lubricate the now clean hinges and the phone would lay flat again. Simply have 6 or 8 tiny security torx screws come in from the outside, make reparability of the hinges much better for the fact they are NOT Dust proof in this area.

Never thought I'd day something like this but those are some neat Lil hinges

ini yang selalu saya tunggu. terimakasih bang jerry 😊. semoga sehat selalu . dan dilancarkan segala usahanya ❤

Xiaomi unveiled their fold phone to have such technology but on the hinge (It flexes when the phone is dropped on the hinge to disperse the impact over a larger surface area). It would be nice to have some slo-mo shots of the phones being dropped and actually seeing how it behaves under stress

THUMBS UP FOR BATTERY PULL TABS!!!!

I really appreciate to engineer that can put many electronic item and mechanism which is high technology inside very thin body and body strong enough for using in everyday life 👍

Thanks for showing me how to replace my screen!👍🏼

Still remember the day I watched your teardown video for the first time and feeling bad for the phone. Not anymore though. Now, it just satisfies my curiosity.

Love your content. Keep up the great work!

This is really satisfying 👏

Love The Knives! 😎 Amazing Engineering!

Wow! Keep it up. I love that there enthusiasts are actually showing the insides and physical strengths of products

If a company tells Zack exactly what their phone has, he just can't have their word for granted, he wants to check that himself 🤣

Omg, taking parts from you to these phones would be awesome :P

Love Foldables!

I bought a Z Fold 5 last week. I'm happy with it. Although, it is pretty expensive but my trade in knocked off $800 from the price.

I've been a note user since I can remember, but I'm finding myself really wanting this phone lately.

You said z flip a 10:10 😊. Watching you take that beauty apart was mesmerizing. Thank you

From the window... To the wall... at 6:30 got me rollin... Bravo sir!

Am not happy watching you destroy my dream phone.

5:53 - 10 out of 10 is too generous. If it had a removable battery like my Note 4, then it would be worthy of a 10.

I really like this trick thank you.

Appreciate the info

“We should start seeing screws if we enter using the correct direction.” Me overthinking 😂

Literally a table 😂

Just ordered one of your jerryrigeverything knives can’t wait to get it

It kills me that the sim card tray still gets you lol. I really enjoy your videos, good work bro. 👍🏻

It's always nice to see the teardown of a phone you own. (Watching on a Z Fold 5)

Glad to see the foldable phones improving a little with each generation

Amazing video! Thank you!

As always, Superb video. You can make any video very interesting and hilarious too

Apple is going to have a tough time keeping up when and if they make a foldable.

Hey Zack you mention in all you're teardowns about the speaker foam balls. Next time you teear down a phone, could you empty both speakers of there foamballs before puting the phone back and test how the sound changes when the speakers has balls and no balls :)

Hey Jerry, I bought your razer knife in green, and I just wanted to let you know that I absolutely love it and I will definitely be buying another one!

Jerry never disappoint to rig everything

"With the screen successfully unsuccessfully removed" this made me laugh so hard idek why 😂😂

Rise and shine, it's "taking apart the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 to reveal all its guts" time! Have fun!!

Watching these videos never gets easier

The sass levels in this one are too high 🙌🔥🔥 and i love it

It's interesting to see how the interconnect ribbon cable folds. It divides the 180° into 3 sections. Ensuring that the cable does not bend more than 60° which should translate to greater durability and more folds before metal fatigue sets in. The pen digitizer feels like a wasted effort. Last I checked with a buddy of mine who owns a f4, he keeps it at home, doesn't find much use of it and wanted to give his away.

This makes me wonder about the new EU regulations going in effect in a few years where every phone needs to have a removable battery. Seeing this teardown, all the things you have to do, to just get to the battery is insane. It's not like it used to be, like with a Samsung S5, pop the back open and take the battery out. Those were the days.

Love my Z!

Holy moly, that's one wild hinge! 😁

My fold 2's battery is expanding, it already opened up the rear cover on its own so that battery is easily replaceable, but seeing how hard it is to remove the front display in one piece even with a lot of heat I don't know if i want to remove the screen now 😮

Just when I think phones can't possibly get more unrepairable, I see a video like this.

I waited until the 5 before buying a foldable and im really glad i did. I got the fold 5 and i love it. It hasnt given me any problems and i love having the bigger screen when i want it. I had the 22 ultra last and it was great as well but i fintld the smaller cover screen on the fold better for walking around doing ya know...phone stuff

You sir do the best ASMR videos!

6:21 - Get low (to the windows, and the walls, to the walls, till sweat drops down ma b----)

Wonderful teardown. This is such an amazing phone. Congratulations to Zach on reaching 7.8 million subscribers.

Loving the humour in this video. Well done

when will we get the Z flip 5 test, I so ready for that one

Would have been cool from Samsung to have a message for Zack in that device, maybe on the silkscreen of a pcb. Something like: "Zack we have heard you, pull tabs for everyone." And then him discovering that. That would be priceless.

Usually when buying replacement parts original Samsung you get the display mounted in the housing already so you just switch the insides over. We never repair the foldables though since they are so damn sensitive and too much work sadly. We need to count in the time in the repair and it is not economical with these models i'm afraid.

every time I watch your awesome videos, I find you are a good Comedian!!! you got me all the time!!! good one!!! you should go to standing comedy club!

hey jerry it would be nice if you add water test after or before the dust test!

Wait, if those 2 separate golden panels were digitizers, does that mean the spen doesn't work in the space between the 2 sides of the inner screen? 🤔

Honestly, the Honor you shown recently looked a LOT better. Better reparability and looks better too in my opinion. Still... This was an interesting teardown. Sad to see them overlook a few things for a flagship phone that a lot of people would buy to last a few years.

We need either asmr or a podcast from this guy, it could put all of us to sleep

I enjoy the commentary,thanks

Now that's what we call can claim as a "tear"down.

Hey

Just got mine today late to the party but happy 😊

Nice phone. Nice teardown.
