Things I dislike about my Samsung Z Fold 5! - 6 Months Later - Inconveniences - Long Term Review

A 6 month revisit to the Z Fold 5, except this time I will be talking about all the things I dislike about this phone and any problems I have with it. This is my favorite phone I have owned so far, but it's far from perfect!

I feel the need to pin this comment since some people are taking this video the wrong way as if I dislike this phone or hate it. I LOVE this phone, I don't have any major problems with it whatsoever. This video is more trying to show the daily inconveniences or some potential cons I have that comes with owning the fold 5 that some people might not expect. No phone is perfect and I'm just trying to tell you some of the drawbacks. I have changed my video title to hopefully be more clear about that! That said, go buy the Fold 5! 🥰

Thanks for your deep review and your feed back . Very professional.
Please continue even for any small details, its very helpful

These are minor issues with daily use that you don't even recognize. I have been using it for the last 7 months and really love this phone. I advise people to go for the Fold series; it's a totally different experience than a normal phone.

Hi like your honest feed back, agree with you on the front screen been looking at getting one and it’s great to be able to use it one handed with ease something you just don’t get with large candy bars, but then have the option of a large type pad on the inside, agrree there are a few trade offs but there are also trade offs with a large candy bar phone, I think you are more productive with a foldable for work but more comfortable with a candy bar for social use, would be good if you can follow up with a short video on the scrolling issue, also has anyone who’s using a z5 had any screen fails or warranty issues would rarely like to give one ago so researching like crazy appreciate all feedback ❤

Do you have any anxiety about screen crack forming at the crease on the inner display, which would in turn impact trade-in value for future upgrade w/ Samsung?

Great Amazing I loving Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5❤

[bogzystudios]

this is what i'm looking for a review.

[dafishking]

Not sure if you already had this resolved but, the google messages glitch was resolved on my end by no longer using the multiview display setting. So now when I text it's basically an expanded version of the front screen as opposed to the multiview where the other messages can still be seen on the left side.

Definitely a software issue.

I don't feel the same way. I love my Fold 5.

In regards to holding the phone, I would just get one of those self adhesive phone rings.

Has anyone tried to watch Netflix on this thing and if so, does the fold bother you? Aslo can you put a privacy screen protector on this?

[maverickmig]

Do you think it's a good idea to buy the fold 5 now or wait for the 6? I'm thinking of getting an open box at best but for around$1240.00

[hardybouy]

How is the screen protector inside and does screen protector when peeled off after a year or so... Does that damage the inner screen?

[RealJaketheDog]

Hey, nice breakdown. I got this phone about a month ago. Im sure all the software bugs have been fixed. I do have large hands and typing is easier on the extended screen. I think this phone is a matter of preference. Did you buy the phone for entertainment? Versatility? Or to display photos? It depends on what you intend to use the device for. As a daily use, im happy with it 👍

[austinsutherland]

A clear adhesive attached case is definitely not the way to go, when i use a clear case i have to tale it off every couple days to clean it. After a couple months it would look terrible. And taking it on and off would ruin the adhesive

[nesoor]

Note. When i was trying to remove back cover, i pressed with my nails on the rubber surrounding inner screen. So the black rubber kind of little deformed.. 😢 .. exposed the edge of inner glass.
So just giving my experience.
Didn't realize its a rubber filler not metal.

I agree with the comments about the camera
Should have been better
I updated from the Fold 2 for the camera and was disappointed

[sylvainarchambault]

Thanks for all these infos. I'm wondering what happens when you have a incoming call in tablet mode? What are the options? Can I fold the phone and then, take the call? I still have a Note 20 but I'm looking to maybe change for the next Z Fold 6 (ultra) if the rumors are true.

[Zer.-_]

I'm with you, I can mostly handle the cameras, I just wish for the fold six that they will make the interior screen camera better for video chatting, it's nice to do video calls on the unfolded screen, but the selfie camera in there is absolutely atrocious. It needs to at least be as good as the one on the outside screen

[soulaiman]

3:16 i recognized the same problem. The One UI software is really bad.

[craigwoodgate]

Its like i aways say no matter how much hype a phone gets people always end up saying after 4 or 6 months i have changed my mind on how much i like my phone and dont .
as for folding phones are the same where the hinge ends uo preventing the screen from opening fully flat and even with a case my phone has done the same thing where the phone doesnt open fully
