0 -> hey guys it's Adrian and today I'm
1.74 -> reviewing the brand new Galaxy Z fault
3.899 -> 5. now if you're looking for your first
5.279 -> foldable this is one of the most solid
6.96 -> options out there but if you're coming
8.58 -> from the z-fold 4 stick around because
10.5 -> I'm going to let you know what has
11.76 -> changed in terms of the design and if
13.799 -> you're coming from the s23 ultra like me
15.719 -> I'm also going to put both of these
17.1 -> phones head to head in a couple of areas
18.72 -> to help you decide if it's worth the
20.4 -> jump from the s33 ultra to the z-fold 5.
22.68 -> by the way if it's your first time here
24 -> please consider liking and subscribing I
25.68 -> could really use your help and I really
27.359 -> do appreciate it but let's get started
29.099 -> so if you're coming from the z-fold 4
31.08 -> let's take a look at the design and you
32.64 -> can see when we take a look at the side
34.26 -> view of the hinge we have the Samsung
36.059 -> logo on both but it's debossed on here
38.219 -> you can actually run your finger along
39.239 -> and feel it whereas on the z-fold five
41.7 -> it is perfectly flat now if we take a
44.46 -> top view you can see that the z45 folds
47.1 -> perfectly flat but on the z-fold four it
50.16 -> doesn't fold flat and it starts wide at
52.5 -> the end and then it tapers down so the
54.6 -> difference is about 2.4 millimeters
57 -> thinner on the z-fold 5. the z45 is is
60.42 -> also 10 grams lighter than the z-fold 4
63.359 -> but if we take a look at the front it
64.92 -> looks pretty much exactly the same in
67.02 -> terms of the curves and button layout
69.9 -> and placement the width of the speaker
71.76 -> Grille is less wide than on the default
73.74 -> 4 but surprisingly the z-fold 5 actually
76.38 -> has better Sound Performance looking at
78.36 -> the camera module on both phones you
79.86 -> could see that on the z-fold 5 we have a
81.54 -> metallic Rings circling the lens modules
83.7 -> and on the z-fold 4 we have black rings
86.28 -> and circling the lens modules as well on
88.619 -> the z-fold 5 The Flash module has been
90.96 -> moved to the top right corner and on the
94.08 -> default for the flash module remains at
96.299 -> the bottom of the third lens module
98.64 -> there as well if we take a side profile
101.04 -> you can see that the lens modules stick
102.96 -> up slightly more than on the z-fold 4
106.259 -> and while the overall height Remains the
108.78 -> Same they have trimmed down the bezel
110.939 -> size which is why the camera lens looks
113.159 -> so protruded if we compare the z45 to
115.32 -> the s23 ultra you can see the s23 ultra
117.72 -> gives us an additional lens module which
119.88 -> allows us to have that impressive 10x
122.52 -> optical zoom whereas on the z45 it caps
125.399 -> out at a 3X optical zoom now if we take
128.099 -> a side look at both of these phones the
130.259 -> s93 ultra comes in at 8.9 millimeters
132.84 -> thick whereas the default 5 comes at a
135.319 -> 13.4 millimeters thick as well the s23
139.08 -> ultra is lighter of course coming in at
141.36 -> 234 grams versus the 253 grams on the
145.5 -> z45 so it's about a 19 gram difference
148.14 -> and you can tell but it's not too bad
150.54 -> while the default 5 has a really wide
152.879 -> speaker Grille located at the very top
154.5 -> of the phone when we take a look at the
156.3 -> s23 ultra you can see we have a very
158.22 -> thin slip for the speaker Grille you can
160.86 -> see that the z-fold 5 has the wider
162.54 -> speaker Grille hover the s23 ultra has a
164.94 -> built-in S Pen that the z45 does not the
167.28 -> z45 has a fingerprint reader in the
169.44 -> power button but on the s23 ultra there
171.42 -> is none it's actually under the screen
173.22 -> the largest design change between the
175.44 -> z-fold 5 and z-fold 4 is obviously that
178.019 -> hinge and the ability to fold perfectly
180.54 -> flat now when you open up the z-fold 5
183.959 -> I noticed that it poses a bit softer
187.8 -> and it's a little bit more fluid of an
190.319 -> experience it's just a little bit
191.519 -> smoother to open and close by comparison
194.459 -> on the z-fold 5 when I go ahead and open
196.62 -> it up
197.519 -> it's a little bit stiffer and it
200.28 -> actually feels a bit more tension or
202.5 -> like there's a bit more friction even
203.94 -> though this is the older phone and I've
205.92 -> been using this way more
208.26 -> but you can hear when I close that
210.78 -> it's slightly louder than on the brand
214.08 -> new z-fold five
216.18 -> if you're worried about the hinges rated
218.22 -> lifespan well it's rated for at least
220.62 -> 200 000 folds if you open and close this
224.519 -> phone 100 times a day you'd be able to
226.319 -> do that for the next five years without
228.659 -> any issue now you probably won't even
230.819 -> get that close because when you consider
232.68 -> it you can actually use the cover screen
234.299 -> to do a lot of what you want to do you
236.459 -> know you're probably going to be opening
237.659 -> this way less when it comes to
239.22 -> ergonomics these default 5 wins hands
241.68 -> down is just a more compact phone and it
244.379 -> feels more natural in the hand because
245.879 -> it's 2.4 millimeters thinner than the
248.819 -> z-fold four so it's easier to manipulate
251.22 -> and just control and if you're going to
252.599 -> be holding it up to your ear for a long
254.879 -> time on a phone call it feels much more
256.62 -> comfortable and it is also 10 grams
258.239 -> lighter and if you take a look at the
259.799 -> z-fold 5 on every corner it's very
261.6 -> rounded so when you're holding the phone
262.86 -> for long periods of time and it presses
264.78 -> into your palm it doesn't feel
265.979 -> uncomfortable however on the s23 ultra
268.56 -> you may feel a bit uncomfortable once
270.78 -> you have this sharper end pressing into
272.88 -> your palm but it's not too bad the other
275.04 -> thing is that the s330 has probably
276.84 -> suited to you know medium to larger size
279.06 -> hands unless you're going to be using it
280.86 -> two-handed whereas on the z-fold 5 it's
283.5 -> very easy to just manipulate with one
285.419 -> hand you can see my thumb can go from
287.22 -> one end to the other very easily feel
289.38 -> free to skip ahead if you're not
290.58 -> interested in specs but the z-fold 5's
292.919 -> cover screens using Gorilla Glass victus
294.84 -> 2. it's a 6.2 inch Dynamic AMOLED with
297.66 -> 120 hertz and 401 PPI Peak brightness is
301.8 -> rated for 1750 nits the inner screen is
305.28 -> a 7.6 inch screen it's HDR 10 plus
307.979 -> capable it's also a dynamic AMOLED
310.259 -> coming at 120 hertz and 373 PPI both
314.1 -> phones are running Snapdragon hm 2
316.08 -> processors and adreno 740 gpus both
319.199 -> phones also allow you to have up to 12
320.639 -> gigs of RAM and one terabyte of storage
323.16 -> and there's a 4 400 milliamp hour
325.68 -> battery you can have up to 25 watts of
327.84 -> fast charging and 15 watts of wireless
330.18 -> charging and there's an ipx8 rating
332.88 -> which makes the phone water resistant
334.919 -> alright let's take a look at the end
336.06 -> inner screen where the Galaxy z45 really
338.52 -> shines and there's just so much
339.72 -> customization on here to get through so
341.82 -> imagine how I'm on a site and I'm trying
343.259 -> to find the best price so I could have
344.58 -> one side open on this tab and one on the
347.22 -> second Tab and I can switch back and
348.78 -> forth which is not ideal what I could do
351.24 -> is download a second browser which I've
352.919 -> done so I could move this Brave browser
354.84 -> into the right corner here and you can
356.94 -> see I can actually navigate both sides
359.46 -> at the same time you know in a matter of
361.08 -> seconds now imagine I want the call to
363.479 -> confirm availability or stock I could
365.58 -> just drag my dialer and I'm good to go
368.22 -> and say I get a message from a friend
371.16 -> maybe I'm buying something for them and
373.56 -> I go into my messages here what I can
376.38 -> actually do is I can just resize this
378.78 -> window down and you know I can have this
381.24 -> kind of floating you can see I can move
383.039 -> that around I can also go ahead and you
385.08 -> know change the opacity of this window
387.72 -> and then you know I can just go back to
389.639 -> where I was at you know move that around
391.74 -> and I can still go ahead and type carry
393.78 -> on a conversation so there's really a
395.759 -> lot of versatility here something else
397.919 -> that I could do is just to have this
399.419 -> window kind of floating and I can come
401.16 -> back to it whenever I like and to do
403.08 -> that I would just click on this menu
404.699 -> here click these two arrows pointing
407.28 -> towards each other and you can see that
409.08 -> this is now just going to be floating
410.58 -> around and you can just have that
412.139 -> floating around while you're watching a
413.4 -> YouTube video or something and still
414.78 -> conversating with someone now to get all
416.88 -> of these features is actually quite
418.319 -> simple and what we're going to do is
419.46 -> let's just get out of here we're going
420.9 -> to swipe down go into settings and we're
423.06 -> going to scroll until we see Advanced
425.28 -> features we're going to click on Labs at
427.62 -> the top and you can see there's an
428.819 -> option here multi-window for all apps so
431.16 -> allow all apps to open in pop-up view or
433.319 -> a split screen even apps that haven't
435.96 -> been designed for these layouts and this
438.06 -> is where you can force apps to behave
440.46 -> how you want them to behave but let's go
441.9 -> back again and we'll go into
443.699 -> multi-window and you can see we can also
445.86 -> enable swipe for a split screen swipe
448.38 -> for pop-up view you know show multi
450.419 -> window menu with one window full screen
452.22 -> in split view so there's a lot of things
454.199 -> that you can actually Force when you're
455.759 -> using using the inner display another
457.5 -> thing we can customize is which icons
459.66 -> are appearing on the inner screen and
461.22 -> which are on the outer screen so on the
462.66 -> inner screen I have three icons here on
464.28 -> the left side if I close the phone and I
466.74 -> unlock the outer screen I actually have
468.78 -> eight icons so you can set up the outer
471.599 -> screen tab you know specific apps and
473.34 -> then say you want to go home unwind you
475.5 -> know you can have apps for like you know
477 -> YouTube Netflix Prime what have you but
480.06 -> to go ahead and force both screens to
482.039 -> behave the same what we can do is go
483.3 -> into settings go into home screen
485.88 -> go to cover screen mirroring turn it on
487.979 -> and this is going to prioritize the
490.5 -> cover screen so you can see I now have
492.12 -> the same eight icons on the inner
494.34 -> display that I had on the outer display
496.979 -> here now you may have noticed that I'm
498.84 -> easily switching back and forth between
501.06 -> you know this type of layout and the
503.46 -> settings on here and one of the reasons
505.139 -> that I could do that is because this
507.06 -> taskbar now allows you to have up to
508.979 -> eight icons whereas on the z-fold four
511.68 -> you're limited to six icons now we can
514.38 -> actually customize this further if we go
516 -> into display and we go into taskbar
519 -> first of all taskbar is on but it says
521.339 -> show recent apps and you can set you
523.38 -> know two apps and this is how it would
525.24 -> behave on the default for only a Max of
527.76 -> six or you can set four so that you have
530.7 -> all eight available to you you can also
532.74 -> choose to continue apps on the cover
534.72 -> screen so you can see I have Chrome open
536.279 -> and if I close it it's going to continue
538.68 -> on that cover screen so you can set that
540.899 -> individually now for example my
543.66 -> secondary browser braver I've set it to
545.58 -> not can continue and if I close it you
547.74 -> could see the screen just remains locked
550.38 -> now to access that we're just going to
552.24 -> pull down go into settings display and
554.88 -> then we're going to go to this option
556.32 -> right here continue apps on cover screen
559.26 -> and you can pick which apps you want to
561.3 -> enable that or disable if I'm changing
563.399 -> the settings on the z45 is just easier
565.74 -> and quicker so you can see I'm on
567.12 -> connections I could go into modes and
568.98 -> routines display and it automatically
571.32 -> just pops out the submenu you know I
573.48 -> could go ahead and make my change and
575.459 -> then be on my way but if I was to do the
578.04 -> same thing on the s23 ultra you know I
580.019 -> would go scroll down into this play go
582.899 -> ahead make my change and then back out
585.48 -> then I would go into the next menu so
588.12 -> you can see you know there's a lot of
589.32 -> going in and backing out whereas with
591.24 -> this everything is just really fast and
593.7 -> fluid but what if you just wanted an
595.56 -> overall larger display and you were okay
597.6 -> with you know losing these type of sub
599.76 -> menus well you could do that you could
601.44 -> go into display
602.94 -> scroll down to screen layout and zoom
605.279 -> it's at the multi-view which is why we
607.68 -> have these multiple views we could go
609.24 -> into standard View and you can see it's
611.64 -> now going to act like a traditional
613.5 -> smartphone or bar phone where you make
615.66 -> your setting and you go out into the
617.58 -> main menu now let's go back into there
619.62 -> and you can see we have a slider to
621.66 -> adjust the zoom so you know you could
623.22 -> have it really large or really small
625.86 -> let's go back to multi-view
628.74 -> and you can see if I scroll to the top
630.899 -> here I could see my name and two sounds
633.48 -> and vibrations because of this slider so
636 -> if I zoom out the screen I can now see
638.64 -> from my name all the way to the bottom
640.38 -> here so you know you could fit way more
641.88 -> on here if you want to right now I'm
643.92 -> remotely connected to my laptop using
646.079 -> the Austin app now you can see on the
648.66 -> s93 ultra everything is you know much
650.7 -> smaller than on the z-fold five I could
653.399 -> see a bit more now if I zoom in on the
654.959 -> s23 ultra obviously I can go ahead and
657.42 -> navigate around easier but on the z-fold
660 -> five you know I'm just seeing way more
661.98 -> information once I started zooming in so
665.519 -> let's see that's about the same amount
667.44 -> of Zoom let's go you can see the start
670.14 -> menu looks about the same size on both
671.82 -> but take a look at how much more I could
673.8 -> see on the z-fold five and you know I
675.54 -> can go ahead hit my start menu no
677.7 -> problem so you know definitely Edge
679.86 -> definite Edge to the z-fold five if
682.32 -> you're a fan of using the always on
683.7 -> display you can see that it's a little
684.959 -> bit larger on the s23 due to the screen
687.12 -> size that it is on default 5 but once
690.36 -> you go ahead and open up that inner
691.98 -> display you can see that it gets much
694.32 -> larger if we go back to the lap section
696.66 -> we can actually have an option here
698.22 -> called Flex mode panel and if we tap on
700.62 -> that you can see that it's on and it
702.48 -> shows that there's an icon that's going
703.86 -> to give you a couple more options now
706.019 -> this only works in certain apps and
707.64 -> YouTube is one of those apps so you can
709.68 -> see if I open up YouTube and I play a
711.839 -> video you know this is what I would
713.16 -> normally expect you know the video and
715.5 -> then you know comments and things like
717.6 -> that at the bottom now if I go ahead and
719.7 -> flip the phone into you know the flex
722.399 -> mode here it's push all that at the
724.5 -> bottom and you know the video takes a
726.66 -> center stage at the top here but you can
729.12 -> see there's now an icon here that wasn't
730.8 -> always there and if I go ahead and tap
732.24 -> that I'm presented with an additional
734.88 -> layout at the bottom and this lets me
737.279 -> interact with the video versus actually
739.2 -> tapping that screen and that's very
741.3 -> handy because if you're tapping the
742.62 -> screen you know there's a chance you can
743.82 -> rock the display but I can actually just
745.86 -> seek through the video right here pause
747.779 -> it I can actually go ahead and you know
750.42 -> change the display brightness volume
752.1 -> settings I can also use a touch panel
755.459 -> here so let's go ahead and exit out of
757.26 -> that and you can see if I hit that touch
759.42 -> panel here it puts a mouse cursor here
762.06 -> and I can just go ahead and tap you know
763.8 -> kind of like I would with a regular
765.42 -> Mouse I can also go ahead and take a
767.339 -> screenshot and I can actually swipe down
769.5 -> so if I hit this little icon here you
771.6 -> can see it's actually showing that I've
772.92 -> swiped down and then I could just split
775.38 -> screen with you know any other app that
777.18 -> I want like normal now I'm in the
779.16 -> Samsung TV Plus app which comes with all
781.44 -> phones and because this is a Samsung
783.3 -> design app if I go ahead and angulate
786.3 -> the phone this way you can see again I
788.82 -> have access to that Flex mode panel by
791.22 -> the way if you're finding this video
792.3 -> helpful please consider liking and
793.8 -> subscribing but let's get back into it
795.54 -> alright let's talk about the cover
796.68 -> screen and I feel that the usage of this
798.779 -> screen is really going to vary from
800.04 -> person to person and what you prefer now
802.56 -> you may be wondering well why would
804.18 -> someone ever buy a foldable phone just
806.339 -> to use the cover screen when you know in
808.68 -> about a second you can just go from that
810.72 -> to this nice you know beautiful display
813.24 -> in here and the reason for that and it's
816.36 -> what I found from using the Z4 for a lot
818.459 -> is that if I had a phone call coming you
820.56 -> know I would just answer the call here
821.639 -> if I got a text message I would just
823.079 -> jump into my text quickly reply to it
825.54 -> you know send it you know I would read
827.22 -> an email just jump on a website and be
830.1 -> on my way now the other thing is what if
832.139 -> I'm like you know on the subway or I'm
834.3 -> on you know I'm waiting for the bus or
835.98 -> I'm in the grocery checkout line and I
837.48 -> just need to pull up something quick on
838.68 -> my phone like a points Carter to check
840.899 -> the schedule you know I probably
842.94 -> wouldn't want to you know pull this out
844.44 -> of my pocket open this fully up where
847.079 -> I'm committing to two hands right I have
849.3 -> to use two hands to open this up and you
851.339 -> know you can get away with one hand but
852.899 -> you know you still have to use the
854.1 -> second hand to navigate around what you
856.38 -> want to do and you know if you're on the
858.72 -> go that may not be very convenient right
861 -> you know I found myself really using
862.56 -> this if I'm at home and I want to
864.3 -> consume you know YouTube or Prime video
866.579 -> and I'm just like in a relaxed State
868.32 -> then I would use it in most other cases
870.72 -> I'm pulling this out of my pocket doing
872.1 -> what I want to do on the first on the
873.54 -> front screen slipping it back into my
875.7 -> pocket and going about my day and when I
877.56 -> thought thought about that and you know
878.94 -> how much I was using cover screen I said
880.38 -> you know what why wouldn't I just go to
881.82 -> my s23 ultra it has a much wider screen
884.88 -> and that's actually what I ended up
886.199 -> doing so I really was hoping that
888.779 -> Samsung would kind of widen discover
891.36 -> screen a little bit to make it a bit
893.519 -> more usable because you can see there's
895.199 -> a bezel on the side here and when you go
897.24 -> ahead and apply a case to the front here
899.699 -> you know it it narrows it down
901.86 -> significantly more and it can make
904.019 -> things like you know texting with one
906.18 -> hand a little bit difficult you know so
908.459 -> you know sometimes I do miss types of
910.26 -> what I've been doing you know is just
912 -> swiping
913.38 -> um and that's been helping me you know
914.88 -> way more than just typing because the
916.86 -> keyboard is a little bit cramped so for
918.959 -> those of you coming from any type of bar
920.94 -> phone or if you're looking at the z-fold
923.22 -> 5 for the first time I'd be a bit
925.32 -> mindful you know how often are you using
927.12 -> the cover screen and how often are you
928.8 -> actually opening it up in your
930.42 -> day-to-day life you know and actually
931.74 -> using the screen and if you find like me
933.839 -> you know you're probably doing a lot of
935.76 -> your business on the front here it may
938.16 -> be best to stick to a bar phone you know
940.079 -> if you're not fully utilizing this inner
942.36 -> screen both phones also get plenty
944.16 -> bright for outdoor use thanks to the
946.1 -> 1750 nits of peak brightness now there
949.019 -> has been some concern about the rely
950.639 -> liability of the interest screen and
952.86 -> rightfully so now I can say that while
955.199 -> using the z-fold 4 I've not had any
957.54 -> damage on the screen no cracking you
960.06 -> know along the crease no bubbling
961.68 -> anywhere under and you know no traces of
964.139 -> fingernail imprints or indents on the
967.139 -> screen but again I'm a bit more you know
969.54 -> of a careful and mindful user with the
972.12 -> way that I use the phone you know I'm in
974.1 -> Canada the phones lasted three in a
976.019 -> pretty cold winter and there hasn't
978.24 -> really been anything wrong with the
979.56 -> display so I just expect the exact same
982.019 -> type of performance or better on the z45
984.839 -> not that the crease is more minimal as
986.82 -> well I want to share a cover screen tip
988.44 -> that one of my viewers shared with me so
989.94 -> imagine you're watching Youtube and you
991.38 -> want to angle the display towards you
993.54 -> you can see once I hit 90 degrees it
996.06 -> moves it on the inside which I don't
997.92 -> want and then as soon as I close it it
1000.139 -> pops it back here now there is a
1001.82 -> workaround to this and it involves
1003.8 -> launching the camera app so I'm going to
1005.12 -> do that right now and what I'm going to
1007.1 -> do is I'm going to enable the option
1008.72 -> here for cover screen previous let's
1011.6 -> just open it up all the way
1013.399 -> and I'm going to turn on cover screen
1014.959 -> preview and this is where I have a
1017.779 -> display on the front here to see what
1020.06 -> the rear cameras are capturing and what
1021.5 -> I'm going to do is I'm going to angle it
1023.06 -> to 90 or wherever I want
1025.22 -> then I'm going to exit out of it
1029 -> exit out of the camera app I'm going to
1031.22 -> open YouTube back up and you can see now
1033.98 -> I could go ahead and play at 90 degrees
1036.559 -> or more and it's not going to pop it
1038.839 -> back to the inside screen if we look at
1040.88 -> YouTube on both phones you can see that
1042.62 -> the z-fold 5 has a really large screen
1044.839 -> while the s23 ultra it's quite small now
1047.48 -> if I go ahead and make this full screen
1049.76 -> like so now it's a bit more of a fair
1053.54 -> fight but if I go ahead and do the same
1056 -> thing on the z-fold 5 so I'll make it
1058.4 -> full screen you can see that's pretty
1059.66 -> large but what I can also do
1061.039 -> additionally is to just let the phone
1063.14 -> rotate
1064.34 -> and you can see it's just much more
1067.039 -> information on the z-fold 4. it just
1069.559 -> fills out more of the screen now you can
1071.96 -> also go ahead and crop in you know so
1074.12 -> it's full screen like you would on both
1075.86 -> phones but again you're seeing more on
1077.72 -> the Z volt 5. let's take a look at how
1079.64 -> popular apps like Instagram display on
1081.74 -> the z-fold five so on the cover screen
1083.96 -> it fills it up entirely which is awesome
1086.24 -> and if we go ahead and open it up it's
1088.7 -> filling out the middle of the screen and
1090.26 -> you have the option to move it to the
1091.88 -> right or left now if that bugs you you
1093.98 -> could just go into settings you can see
1096.14 -> we're in display and there's an option
1097.82 -> here called full screen apps a lot of
1100.1 -> these are set to full screen I'll go to
1101.9 -> Instagram switch it from 16x9 to four to
1104.9 -> three and you can see it's occupying
1106.94 -> more of this screen and we only have a
1108.679 -> little bit of space on the right or left
1110.6 -> but we can also force it to go full
1112.94 -> screen like I have on these other apps
1114.679 -> and it's going to occupy the entire
1116.36 -> screen so again tons of Versatility here
1118.52 -> if we take a look at something like Tick
1120.32 -> Tock you could see again it's set to
1121.82 -> 16x9 and you have your overlay here to
1124.58 -> interact with the video but if I go back
1126.799 -> in and I switch Tick Tock to say full
1128.9 -> screen go back to it again you know it
1131.36 -> still occupies the center of the screen
1132.919 -> but it moves that interaction overlay to
1135.86 -> the right side and you also have some
1137.96 -> information on the left side the rear of
1139.7 -> the z-fold 5 houses a 12 megapixel Ultra
1142.4 -> wide lens a 50 megapixel wide lens and a
1145.28 -> 12 megapixel telephoto lens capable of
1147.98 -> 3x optical zoom the front cover houses a
1150.86 -> 10 megapixel Ultra wide lens as well
1153.08 -> there's also a 4 megapixel camera housed
1155.66 -> under the inner display the rear of the
1157.64 -> s23 ultra has a 200 megapixel wide lens
1160.46 -> a 10 megapixel telephoto lens capable of
1163.28 -> 3x optical zoom another 10 megapixel
1166.34 -> telephoto lens capable of 10x optical
1168.44 -> zoom and a 12 megapixel Ultra wide lens
1171.32 -> the front display houses a 12 megapixel
1173.72 -> selfie wide camera let's take a look at
1175.46 -> the camera settings before we look at
1176.84 -> the photo so you can see on the default
1178.46 -> 5 we can go from 0.6 or Ultra wide wide
1181.1 -> to 3x optical zoom on the s23 ultra we
1184.28 -> can go from Ultra wide to wide to 3x
1186.74 -> optical zoom and then 10x optical zoom
1189.44 -> so that's something that the z45 just
1191.6 -> cannot match now you can go up a little
1193.7 -> bit more but it's going to be digital
1194.96 -> zoom and the quality is not that great
1196.58 -> and again with the s23 ultra you can go
1199.28 -> up to 10x Optical then you can also go
1201.799 -> with digital again it's not going to be
1203.48 -> that great let's take a quick look at
1205.28 -> the camera settings and you can see it's
1206.96 -> an exact replica for both phones and
1210.38 -> I've calibrated both of the cameras
1212.059 -> exactly the same when I took the test
1214.1 -> photos let's go back out here and let's
1216.98 -> take a look at what we're able to shoot
1218.9 -> with the photo mode so if we go into 3x4
1221.539 -> you can see there's an option for three
1223.58 -> to four 50 megapixel on the s23 ultra we
1226.76 -> have the same option but we also have
1228.5 -> 200 megapixels again that just dwarfs
1231.86 -> what the z45 can do when we're in the
1234.14 -> video tab you can see I could go into
1235.64 -> the UHD format and we have an exact
1238.58 -> match so 8k30 UHD 60 UHD 30 or 4K 60 and
1243.86 -> 30. now one thing to note is that if you
1245.84 -> turn on super study to kind of you know
1247.94 -> stabilize the footage Additionally you
1250.58 -> could see that we now only have the 1X
1252.74 -> camera available on the z45 however on
1255.5 -> the s23 ultra we still have the ultra
1258.679 -> wide and wide if we go to the more tab
1261.02 -> we have exactly the same amount of modes
1263.6 -> available on both phones while the s93
1265.76 -> ultra has a super capable camera the
1267.74 -> z-polt 5 has a couple of features it
1269.48 -> can't Mount so one is to have a live
1272.12 -> photo feed
1273.86 -> of whatever you're taking just like so
1276.08 -> so you can see right away I can tell if
1277.88 -> it's in Focus if it's been cropped or
1279.799 -> not so that comes in really handy you
1281.96 -> don't have to back out into the gallery
1283.58 -> and then back into the camera app
1285.559 -> another feature you can activate is the
1287.9 -> cover screen preview on and what that
1290.48 -> does is it gives you a live view of
1293.059 -> whatever the rear cameras are taking a
1295.1 -> look at and this is perfect for taking
1296.96 -> high resolution selfies or group shots
1299.6 -> because your group can actually frame
1301.22 -> themselves this also makes it actually
1303.02 -> pretty good for vlogging if you can find
1305 -> a gimbal to hold this because you're
1306.62 -> going to be using the high quality rear
1308.419 -> cameras and seeing you know where you're
1310.76 -> going what you're capturing in the
1312.38 -> background if we take a look at this
1314.059 -> sequence of photos on the z45 you can
1316.159 -> see that I cap out into 3x optical zoom
1318.679 -> however on the s23l track and go all the
1321.02 -> way to 10x here we have photos from the
1323.539 -> s23 ultra to ultra wide wide then we
1326.24 -> have the 3x Optical and finally the 10x
1329.6 -> optical zoom and you can see how clear
1331.88 -> the 10x Optical is hair says the default
1334.34 -> 5 photos Ultra wide wide and then we
1336.919 -> have the 3x optical zoom on the z-fold
1339.26 -> five and then the 10x digital Zoom
1341.12 -> looking at the z-fold 5's 10x digital
1343.46 -> Zoom compared to the s23 ultra's optical
1345.98 -> zoom there's a definite Improvement in
1348.08 -> image quality on s23 Ultra especially if
1350.24 -> you look at the very top of the building
1351.32 -> it's less muddy it's just a Sharper
1353.059 -> Image overall for the most part I found
1355.039 -> both cameras to be very capable the
1356.78 -> color saturation seemed pretty
1358.28 -> consistent most of the times between the
1360.799 -> z-fold 5 and on the s23 ultra so really
1364.34 -> it's going to come down to you know that
1366.14 -> 10x optical zoom and if you really need
1368.539 -> that because you can see from this
1369.799 -> sequence of photos the colors and the
1371.84 -> camera performance seem to be pretty
1373.7 -> much a match maybe with a slight bit
1376.039 -> more saturation on the z-fold five
1378.62 -> cameras here's another sequence of
1380.12 -> photos from the z45 where we go from
1381.86 -> Ultra wide wide 3x and then finally the
1384.799 -> 10x digital zoom and you can see that
1387.08 -> the image is about Muddy however the s23
1390.02 -> ultra still maintains good focus and
1392.299 -> clarity as we make our way through the
1393.919 -> 3x Optical and finally the 10x Optical I
1397.1 -> found night mode to be perfectly capable
1399.32 -> on both phones so you can see on the
1401.12 -> z-fold 5 the image is a little bit more
1403.34 -> underexposed compared to the s23 ultra
1405.74 -> but I think that's mostly going to be a
1407.659 -> taste type of Preference they both look
1409.46 -> great to me softly photos were great on
1411.62 -> both cameras although I did find the z45
1413.6 -> to saturate things a little bit more the
1415.76 -> video quality from the front facing
1417.44 -> camera was surprisingly good and here it
1419.48 -> is shooting at 4K 60.
1423.32 -> here's some Sample video using the 4K
1426.08 -> mode at 60 frames per second Optical
1428.36 -> image stabilization worked really well
1430.1 -> for both phones and you can see that the
1431.96 -> color saturation is pretty much
1433.52 -> identical on both of these phones so
1435.74 -> whichever phone you go with for video
1437.659 -> you're not going to be disappointed so
1439.46 -> while both phones produce excellent
1441.2 -> photos I give the slight Edge to the s23
1443.84 -> ultra and that's due to it having that
1446.36 -> additional 10x Optical lens and that's
1449.419 -> something that you know when you don't
1450.799 -> have it you really notice that you don't
1452.419 -> have it but it makes it so that you know
1454.4 -> this phone is pretty much suited for any
1456.2 -> type of shooting situation you'd find
1458.36 -> yourself and you can go all the way from
1459.62 -> Ultra wide to Super telephoto with the
1462.2 -> 10x optical zoom now this does have some
1464.539 -> unique features like I showed you know
1465.919 -> that live photo view comes in handy
1467.9 -> having such a big display to check Focus
1469.94 -> to frame things and having the cover
1471.98 -> screen preview those are things that the
1473.84 -> s23 ultra just can't beat the geekbench
1476.299 -> six benchmarks puts the z45 slightly
1478.7 -> ahead of the s23 ultra for reference the
1481.52 -> ambient temperature on the z-fold 5 is
1483.679 -> about 31 and a half degrees and on the
1486.44 -> s23 ultra it's about the same 31.5
1489.44 -> degrees as well
1502.8 -> [Music]
1510.32 -> by the way if you start a game on the
1512.419 -> inner screen or outer screen and you
1513.98 -> want to move it to the opposite screen
1515.179 -> you can now do that without having to
1517.039 -> restart the game so the z-fold 5 is the
1519.32 -> definite winner when it comes to gaming
1520.82 -> you can see having this large screen
1522.62 -> makes it just way more enjoyable to play
1525.14 -> see everything and access your controls
1527.24 -> after about 20 minutes of mixed gaming
1529.64 -> on both phones I noticed that the z-fold
1531.559 -> 5 was about a half a degree cooler but
1534.44 -> that may be within the margin of error
1536.179 -> one thing I want to point out though is
1537.5 -> that on the default 5 it has this
1539.419 -> plastic screen instead of the glass
1540.98 -> screen on the s23 ultra and my
1543.2 -> fingertips tend to get a little bit
1544.64 -> sweaty when I play and it makes it
1546.38 -> harder to just kind of Glide it across
1548.12 -> the plastic compared to Glass battery
1549.98 -> life on the z45 is pretty good and
1552.38 -> that's thanks to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2
1554.299 -> so it's definitely better than what I
1556.4 -> experienced on the z-fold 5 because it's
1558.32 -> more efficient I was also able to get
1560.24 -> close to the rated charging speed of 25
1562.4 -> watts with wired charging so I started
1564.799 -> charging the phone when I was at 10 and
1566.72 -> after 10 minutes I had 30 so I'd gained
1569.299 -> 20 of battery after 15 minutes I had 40
1572.24 -> battery 20 minutes 50 battery and after
1575.299 -> 25 minutes I have 58 battery now I
1578.059 -> noticed once I hit around 56 the
1580.94 -> charging speed dropped from you know the
1582.44 -> 22 to 24 watts to about 17 to 18 Watts
1585.62 -> the z45 also takes the win when it comes
1587.96 -> to the speaker test it's just a much
1589.64 -> more Fuller and louder sound
1591.67 -> [Music]
1600.88 -> unlocking the phone is super easy so you
1603.14 -> can either use your fingerprint which is
1604.64 -> really quick or you could use face
1606.38 -> unlock
1607.7 -> and it's that quick so if you have the
1609.86 -> s23 ultra or s22 Ultra and you're trying
1612.559 -> to decide should you go for the z-fold
1614.6 -> five and you know while this is a
1616.58 -> multitasking Master the Ultra Series
1618.559 -> still has a lot going for it you have
1620.299 -> that 10x Optical lens at the back on the
1622.94 -> Ultra Series that the z-fold 5 does not
1625.159 -> have it's also thinner and lighter than
1627.74 -> the z-fold 5. you also have a built-in S
1630.679 -> Pen and the z45 does not have one you'd
1632.779 -> have to run a case with a holder for the
1635.12 -> S Pen to have that functionality you
1637.039 -> also have a larger battery a 5 000
1639.02 -> milliamp hour battery versus The 4400
1641.84 -> milliamp hour battery on the z45 now
1644.36 -> some users also have concerns about the
1646.7 -> durability of the folding screen on the
1648.919 -> z45 I can say that I haven't had issues
1651.5 -> with my default 4 I don't expect that I
1653.539 -> would with the z45 but if you want you
1655.94 -> know 100 peace of mind you know because
1657.799 -> of the glass screen on the Ultra Series
1659.24 -> you don't really have to worry about you
1660.86 -> know fingernail imprints or indents on
1663.14 -> the screen now if you have a z-fold 4
1665.299 -> should you upgrade to the z-fold 5. and
1668.36 -> if you take a look at the top here you
1669.86 -> can see there's another soil difference
1671.6 -> in terms of the hinge so you have an
1674.24 -> extra 2.4 millimeters on the z-fold 4
1676.94 -> and it's also about 10 grams heavier it
1679.46 -> doesn't sound like a lot on paper but
1681.02 -> when you hold it in the hand you know
1682.94 -> the hand feel just feels way better with
1685.279 -> the z-fold five it's just more natural
1687.62 -> and it's more you know pleasing to hold
1689.9 -> this phone than the z44 now that's not
1692.36 -> to say that the z-fold 4 is a bat phone
1694.34 -> in any way the z-fold 4 did a ton of
1697.159 -> stuff great before the z45 came out so
1699.679 -> let me know which phone you guys would
1701.299 -> prefer the z-fold 5 or the s23 ultra I'm
1704.72 -> not going to say one phone is better
1705.98 -> than the other because it's really going
1707.24 -> to come down to how you use the phone
1708.799 -> and what you need the phone to do
1710.179 -> obviously the z45 is going to be
1712.34 -> excellent at multitasking it's great at
1715.22 -> taking photos because you have you know
1716.84 -> a bigger interface you could see photos
1718.46 -> check sharpness check framing you can

1746.84 -> in the body like that you also have a
1748.64 -> larger battery on her but you know
1750.62 -> battery life can be just as good on the
1752.24 -> z-fold 5 even with a smaller battery
1754.039 -> because you may be just using that cover
1756.32 -> screen most of the time and saving the
