Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra vs Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 | Which Would You Choose?

let's start with a question which of these would you choose so this is the uh zold 5 and this is the s24 ultra the uh I think it's just being released and um most people will be getting theirs uh their pre-orders this week so mine arrived about two days ago and um I I'm am really tone about which of these devices I I enjoy using so we're going to go through some of that uh in this video and um I'll POS the same question to you about which one you would prefer and why now when the uh zold 5 came out I was very excited and I thought you know they've done some refinements that I like on this device because if you remember we talked on the channel before on um I think the fold three with its battery issues you know you charge it and it hardly lasts today if you open up the screen and use that during the day um it would only last if you kind of kept it like this and it it wasn't really practical for uh for use and then the fold four came out uh there's hinge issues being reported and also the screen didn't last as as long you know although they did replace it under kind of a warranty or they would allow you to get one free replacement where I am so that was okay but uh the hinge didn't last and the screen itself was making a particular noise so whenever I went like this there was a particular noise coming out from the from the screen and I think we talked about that on the channel as well so when the fold came out I thought this was the very best of the polished devices they had let out in a foldable and they had kind of change the hinge design you know uh and kind of gave it a a better look in terms of removing the um bezels uh especially on this particular screen here still don't get to use your Spen on the outside but I think they'd made some refinements that made it a very attractive device and just by looks alone you know you used to have that pen that went in a case on the side here uh and then you had all sorts of um different variations that when you then put the device down it wasn't practical but they've polished that now and it's really really a very nice and neat device I have to say that um up to now this has been my go-to device this is what I prefer to use this is what I would take everywhere it does have its own advantages and I'll come to that in a minute but then the s24 ultra is arrived as I said I got mine two days ago um and I have to kind of make a choice about which device I will make my daily driver you know they both have the S pens uh they're both really good but the screen state that you get on the outside so this screen here is really really good so let's look at some of the uh some of the main differences around this so you you are getting a Snapdragon agent 2 here and then agent 3 here uh for the average user they won't notice much around those differences there uh but the other thing that you're getting as well is that I have 12 gigs of RAM here same as here so again you know not not there's not much uh separating the two so far uh and then you can choose the kind of storage you want uh and I think Samsung are doing a deal for where I am if you get a 2 you can get a 512 for the price of a 256 I think they did the same thing last year as well so again that's another thing that's where you can capitalize and get um a 512 instead uh the other thing is and I I think I did have a an issue with an outra that came out it might have been the s22 outra the 8 gig version um was terrible terrible terrible device that I had to send back and get a bigger memory I believe it was the s22 outra so you know this time around I think they they all started 12 if I'm not mistaken so there's not none of that uh mistake that you can have um the other thing is Samsung absolutely refused to kind of put the um to bump up the battery in here so I think it's a 4400 Milah battery in here uh but it's a 5,000 here and tied to that I didn't actually know this until recently until yesterday that this is now uh this is a 45 watt um device when you when it comes to charging uh so it's it's a fast charge but this remains on the 25 and I'm talking about the wired um charging here but yeah it's a good thing to know that you can kind of charge quickly here 45 uh Watts I have always had a 45 W watt charger I kind of decided to be future proof um future proof some time ago and got a 45 wat charger but the thing is you notice it at the start so if if this device was at zero you will notice that it gets to about 85 90% very quickly but then it takes the same amount of time to finish up to 100% as if you had used a 25 watt so it's it's not it's not a deal breaker for me uh and I've found that experience and I've shared it before on the channel now um you can see in terms of design as well here that the camera bumps on the bigger device are obviously uh bigger um and the thing that they have done here which are which I'm still experimenting with is that they've removed the 3x zoom and replaced it with the 5X so that's kind of what's new around this whereas on here on the fold we've always had um kind of 3x uh but never the 10 and I I think it's still a 3X here and it it annoys me because I do use the 10x and I was blown away by the quality of the images there so that that's a minor difference I mean I I'll show some samples of photos and video and you'll see that there hardly for the average user they won't notice things like that so that won't be a deal breaker for some people uh let's see if there's anything else here some people would complain about the um this camera right here uh but you know what if you want to take a selfie you already know that you can either you can either use this camera so point it at yourself and it will it will take the selfie it's much more um tolerable than than the uh than this here so you might want to use this camera instead but there's a way as well I think we've covered this before there's a way for you to kind of use the main camera and flip it flip it around so that you can use the main main um camera here and you still see your image here and you're still able to do it that way I have to say this is not really practical for me in in day-to-day life I just hold my phone like this I put the camera on and then I take my selfie with this one here so that's that's the easier way to do it but there are other ways to get a a a finer detailed photo or in terms of a selfie and then obviously on this one cameras are are you know highest grade on this one so I'm not going to I'm not going to lab the point um the other thing that you can just see maybe if I take off the case you'll be able to see this um much better let's see if we can take off take off the case there it's a shame because this is got um it's got adesive on it and when you do this you're kind of making it weaker and weaker and weaker I don't usually take it off but it's just to illustrate the point here so if you wanted to kind of view the kind of bezels uh if we do this you can see the screen to body ratio there and I'll do the same on this one now I think um you know if you were just looking at the outer screen on the fold so if you were just doing this um I know where my preference would lie uh not only are the bezels huge this area is quite small um I would prefer something like this and I it annoys me frustrates me here when I'm typing and I use Swipe to to to to kind of type because that's the best way here I find it too tiny to try and type with my thumbs like that um so I would prefer a bigger screen like this and if I put them side by side you can see what we're talking about here in terms of the the screen size it's really huge on the new device uh so that's a win for um the outra but we know that already about the outra even if even when they didn't reduce the pel it was still uh the best one to go to the other thing is obviously fingerprint there you go you have the same here except it's on the side here you go some people don't know that by default the fingerprint sensor here comes in a way that you have to press it in for it to unlock so to change that uh let's see if I remember how to do that and I'll show you how to do that um and I know I haven't explained it well but let me get to it first so if we go to security and we look at Biometrics and then you go into uh fingerprints I think it is so let me just put in my password there uh if you go to this setting here fingerprint always on cover and Main screens you need to make sure this is cover and Main you need to make sure it's on basically don't leave it at off if it's at off which which it comes by default you have to press this button in for it to unlock whereas if it's like this I don't need to press it in watch this I'll just place my finger and it will unlock watch this I didn't press it in and it unlocks and that's what you want you don't want to be pushing this button in not only will it start to get too used things can get in there you just want to lay your finger there to unlock so that's a that's a tip there uh the other thing is just around so I'll give you an example of something that um why I would prefer a an outra over a fold so these are some of the disadvantages of a fold uh so I went to on holiday to the Canary Islands and we were on the beach and um you know it was very it was kind of windy in some places so dust was floating about and when you opened the device like this you could see dust starting to settle and that made me a bit uncomfortable so I had to put the device away I couldn't take some of the pictures I wanted but I'd already thought about that so I had bought um because I didn't have this device I bought a cheap S21 Ultra which I then used on the beach it was very good in terms of the screen now you know that obviously the nits on this one if I speculate I think this is about 1,750 which is gone up on here to 2,600 or something like that that's that's nearly a th000 more uh and I'll show you some video samples when I was in the sunshine uh an hour ago where the screen still operates you know you you don't miss any detail basically so the disadvantage of this is when you have to use it in those situations where you really want to take pictures you want to have fun in activities on the beach you're recording videos you're doing this and that following kids around um the dust can accumulate into this device and it's not the best place to have to use it so I would then use an an outra device that's one advantage in terms of dust the second Advantage is obviously the cameras now if there's one thing that I think uh is unreasonable on this device it's about the price based on the cameras that they put on here so I would prefer that they charge I don't know 1,800 as they do but still giving you um outra level cameras here so that's one thing that I think let lets this device down so if I'm going somewhere where I will need my cameras I always have to have an outra uh just because these while the average person might not see huge differences uh it's easier to to use the the if you want quality in your images you would have to get an outra device um let's see there if there's anything else here uh I think it's just about the Spen uh you know obviously here it's in the device uh you can just use it in the outra device like this whereas on on the fold and I do use the spin quite a lot uh you keep it separate on there and this is a disadvantage in itself in that the pen is not one that you can charge or put uh you know those Bluetooth um uh active uh gestures and things like that you can't use that this pen for that whereas for this pen you can it can connect because it's a connected um it's a connected pen whereas this is not so I I prefer the pen on the outra device and I think going forward Samsung needs to figure out a way to embed the Spen in the device itself uh but as you can see these are minor things and someone might come in and say well I prefer the ultra because you know this thing that you have Circle to search um I don't know if you guys have heard about Big B vision and even before that they've been at things Google had their own thing that they used to do uh where you could just tap and it would search but I don't know if you guys use Vision Bigby Vision so I took a picture of something random let's see I haven't tried this so we're doing it together this is um let me show you this so this is a stand basically headphone stand but it's um wooden so you put your headphones here my Sony headphones the ones the once famous for noise cancellation I got a pair and I love them you can put them here and dangle them there so I took a picture of this now let's see if B B vision is going to be able to find something like that so let's say you have a very old device like a fold five I'll call it old now um let me get this here so each time you take a picture on Samsung you get this I there that's big SP Vision it's it's been there for a long time I don't think it's not anything new uh certainly I've I've read it on previous devices now if you click on that it will give you um no I haven't clicked on it if I so here we go yeah so you see how it's um yeah no results found but you see how it's circling something there it means it's trying to find it so if we do um and you can move this box by the way so if there was something here that I wanted to search you could do that let me find a um no and it's it's on wine rather than discover I prefer it on Discover because that's when it goes to the web um so let me um let me put the box back let's do it this time and let's make sure it's on Discover um it's kind of it's a bit lost but yeah there it is that's what the stand is so it did find it in some of these um some of these images but what I'm trying to say what what am I trying to say with this is if you're going for the gimmicks and I do call them gimmicks because a lot of what comes out now some people don't remember the old devices and what was on them there are some features that used to be on the old note devices for example lots of you know when we had Action Memo and all those types of things when they first came out some people are selling those things from the old days now as new things so um as you can see here it does attempt let me give you a different um let's see if we can find a different image if I got anything else here um what can I what can I show okay I have a I have a picture of my dog here but I edited it because obviously I made it black and white let's see let's give it a challenge it's it it wasn't taken like this I've edited it so the other advantage of big vision is you can use it where you have U an edited photo and it's picked it up quickly now let's see it recognizes it's a dog and it's similar to this one actually and there you go so your circle to search is also on the very old Samsung devices it's just that you're not circling something to find and you have a box and as I said you can move it and you can find something else and you can you know so I mean if you're buying this for the gimmicks I would say save your money you can even have and I think these things are coming to some of these things are coming to the older s23 Ultra device uh and I think Samsung are planning to charge as well for those so I don't think it's worth um if you have a fold five and you enjoy using it and you like this the screen which is one of the if there's one thing that I would pick on this device that is a winner is this the real estate here so I'm able to for example I do a lot of um um uh editing or videos or something like that for for social media I I can do all of that on this device so can this you this can handle it as well the difference is this is kind of giving you two times let me let me see if I can show you what I mean so okay let's look at the difference here so in this I've got an email open and I have got the gallery uh open as well and this you can see they're like two phones really side by side and um it's easy to kind of do stuff so I could just uh put that dog in the email and send it like that it's very easy uh say similarly you could do the same here but can you see how the screen is just limited to this kind of square here so there's so much room here sometimes you've got a you've got a paper open here and you've got your pen and you're writing your own paper over there and you're able to copy and paste but you're able to reference as well so you have something here you ref referring to uh and then you're writing here on your other paper so if I've got two Word documents or two notes open very very easy to do uh and you don't have to squint your eyes to see what's on the screen so there's so much versatility here and obviously the flex Factor you know if you're watching a video or something you can place it like this and then you can have kind of controls here and the screen you can kind of have the screen up there uh is an advantage the other thing is you could just be taking pictures and you want your phone you know for this it doesn't stand it doesn't you know you have to kind of find the stand for it if you want you want it to hold position so you can use it you have to find something to help it out with whereas this it just does it uh it just does [Music] it [Music] um and you know if you're playing a video uh video video game that's another thing so uh fortnite on this is just a dream no lag nothing it's just a dream and it's got you know as you can see it's natural to hold it like this and you're seeing all the way up there so images are much larger whereas if you're doing it here you're kind of using again it's nearly kind of doubling your your real estate on the on the screen here so that's why I am torn I have these two devices I really love the fold and as I said up to now it's been my best device even better than the s23 ultra it's been a good device for for me to um to have um I do like the cameras on the Ultra Series I do have to say they are much much much better uh and it's something that you know I I always have an outra device of some kind laying around because there are times when I need the cameras on this device but what about you um which would you choose which one do you think is better um I have to say even though this is 25 W charging speed the battery lasts it's just it's just a good good um battery I think they did something with agent 2 when they released the device that's what they were talking about they've looked at the battery and how efficiencies and it's clear it's very clear this is much different and I think they the same battery capacity I could be wrong but I think fold four and five with 44 milliamp hours um need to check that out but I think I'm correct and but you still see the difference here rather than on the old device because of the magic that they've done with the um with the battery so that is all that's what I uh intended to talk about and um leave in the comments which one you would choose and why uh and then we'll see how many people would rather go for a fold and how many people would go for the new s24 outra remember the price on this one where I am it's like this is 1,300 and this is £1,800 so there's a difference there of about £500 never buy these things full price there's always some promotion going on somewhere if I traded this in Samsung would have given me something close to £700 uh so there's always some deal somewhere um uh look at all the devices you might have l around and try and trade those in uh they also give like um50 off or something like that it might be different where you are but there's always some type of promotion that you can use uh and again usually when you pre-order I think I'll be getting a Galaxy watch 6 or something Galaxy watch I can't remember what number we are on five or six I do I do already have a watch so we will have to U we will have to kind of get rid of that one but those are some of the perks so my m m is don't buy full price um always look for a deal always look for a perk that they give you with the with the funds so that being said have a great day
