daily drive samsung's galaxy z fold three i've had a lot of people asking for my thoughts on the z fold four but until now i wasn't able to share them because this is my very first experience with it i haven't intentionally cloistered myself as i am apt to do to avoid spoiling any of the surprises and i'm really really excited to get my hands on okay there is one thing that i managed to pick up on and that's that they hadn't changed it much but boy did i ever underestimate how much it didn't really change much right out of the gate i see some bad news here first of all what is up with this ridge being sharper is anyone talking about that yet no included power brick no included cable even i don't even get a usbc cable oh look i had to make sure there's no cable in there i can't confirm there's wait oh maybe there's a oh yeah there's the cable it was hiding in here along with a sim removal tool and some warranty nonsense to be clear warranties are not nonsense very important we have a limited lifetime guarantee on the LTT Store backpack you can go get your order in today all right oh i need to clean my screen that is one thing that you'll notice if you start daily driving a foldable device is that the natural screen cleaning that takes place when you slide a phone in and out of your pocket well she don't happen on the main screen and so you have to remember to clean your screen at a time when you're not already using it right so let's go ahead and give it up something that i did on my fold three was the integrated screen protector started to peel unlike the earlier editions of the fold on the three you can peel it it just means that there's additional chance of damage to the screen it doesn't actually like rip it apart or anything like that i had hoped for more improvement to the crease it's better to be clear you can tell while they're both off it's deeper and it's wider on my fold three but the thing about the fold three which is the one in this hand i'm gonna have to keep clarifying that because boy do they ever not look that different is that i've been using this for the better part of a year another immediately noticeable difference can you tell that the full three in my left hand here can you tell that it's in a bit of a v shape when i have it unfolded okay that's something that i thought samsung had solved with the fold three because compared to my previous fold two it was very flat perfectly flat when i opened it up but what i'm seeing now is that whether it's the the the tension of the screen wanting to pull back up or whether it's the hinge wearing out something about samsung's hinge designs or making it so that they eventually start to smile a little bit i hope that the fold four is better it does feel stiffer it's got the same ipx8 water resistance but they say that the frame is now a more rugged and durable aluminum so it shouldn't scuff up as much which has been a problem for me dbrand who sponsored this video blessed their hearts does have skins for the fold series but as you can see they're on a phone like this where it's completely screened on one side half screen on the other side there's not a whole lot to skin so it hasn't really protected it from getting kind of beat up especially around the hinges here is it supposed to be thinner very slightly thinner you say i man i don't think they've changed the hinge much if anything i don't think the hinge actually closes as tight not as tall that's probably a good thing there's a lot of apps that end up looking pretty stupid on this super skinny tall display to be clear they haven't changed it a lot but this is a nice improvement the bezel here on the left side they've managed to expand the size of the front screen even more compared to the full two that's very likely to be a noticeable difference day to day yeah definitely a difference here why does this ad stay at the top on this one and not on this one i just i just want to show how having it be wider makes it easier to read more because it means there sure fine here so this takes six lines and this takes only five lines okay so you don't have to scroll as much god that shouldn't have taken so long okay the new phone also has other upgrades it uses a snapdragon 8 plus gen 1 has up to one terabyte of storage which actually i believe is the same as last gen 12 gigabytes of RAM and uses corning victus plus for the front display obviously they can't use victus plus on the inside display because invictus plus is a stiff glass and this is more of like some kind of plastic composite film that is glass like in feeling but i haven't had any durability problems with the fold three even though i removed my screen protector okay i guess the screen protector starting to peel was a durability problem but since then i haven't gotten any scratches or scuffs on this thing and actually the the finger feel is a lot better it's a lot smoother with the with the naked display not that i would recommend switching over to it um screen protectors are a good thing the layout of the phone hasn't changed much you've got your same usbc charging port on the bottom it'll do up to 25 watts this time it'll do up to 15 watts wireless charging over on the right you've got your loose track of which one switch you got your volume rocker your lock button which has a built-in fingerprint sensor man every time i watch my wife unlock her i think it's s21 ultra or something like that every time i watch her try to unlock it with samsung's horrible ultrasonic underscreen finger sensor i'm like thank goodness i just have a traditional not under screen one it's uh over on the left side we've got our sim tray and then up on the top we've got a whole lot of not much else just just microphones and speaker shadow dbrand by the way they might have a bad attitude but darn it the products are good i've had this skin on my fold three and other than a little bit of damage that i did to the bottom here when i dropped it and here you can actually see the the nicks in the phone when i also dropped this so i ended up kind of kind of picking at it a little bit so that it wouldn't peel it looks as good as the brand new one right here on the brand new phone so if that doesn't tell you that their skins stick then i don't know how else to convince you one of the best things about dbrand skins though is not how they stick but rather how they don't stick when it's time to peel them off your phone looks brand spanking new they leave absolutely no residue whatsoever wow this piece of metal here for the hinge is actually dented and not one but two different places sorry sorry sorry um so they're a great way to protect your devices without causing any problems down the road they also improve the slipperiness of the device it won't keep you from dropping it outright if you're determined enough but definitely makes it easier to hold on to and with the brand's instructions they are super easy to apply so you can check them out at the link down in the video description it's dbrand.com Linus cd brand all you have to do is give me a nice vanity url nice talking points and i'll give you a nice read you scratch my back i scratch yours that was great short Linus no i refuse to read that short Linus no they can change my vanity url today they can change it it's going to be dbrand.com Linus and i expect to find something really nice there this is interesting watching a video whether it's in portrait or landscape mode gives you that pseudo tablet experience on both of them so the fact that the screen's a slightly different size and shape it doesn't really make that big of a difference but the software this is cool look at this i got all my crap down here on the new one i cannot wait for this update to show up on my fold 3. the hardware of the screen doesn't seem to have changed much it's still 120 hertz variable refresh rate 1200 nits peak brightness and with respect to the crease honestly the experience does not seem materially different to me i'd like to hear the speakers though good idea jk well they're still fine and they're still stereo which actually does make a really big difference like i said watch a lot of video on my fold definitely appreciate the stereo speakers supposed to be less distracting okay well let's uh let's open up the youtube app and let's go to a video then shall we yeah i'd say depending on the angle they have improved that it looks like the pixel density over top of the camera hole is a little higher just the desktop looks so overcooked look how deep the red is on that play store icon it looks like like juiced you can see it in the two chrome icons that does not look the same at all look how much more blue the text messaging one is on the new one compared to the old one like is that noticeable andy on camera and like the phone one but then i open up the same video in youtube and it looks fine no it's a little overdone it's just less noticeable and it's not something that i've looked at so many times alright i was supposed to that was the whole point of having the same video playing okay i'm a hot mess today okay how distracting i mean i clearly am not even noticing it the second i switch it stop the second i switch over to full screen oh yeah higher pixel density for sure and it's a smaller hole that is definitely less noticeable i don't think that when i'm watching content normally either of them is the sort of thing that i would notice but their engineers have clearly been hard at work it is better kind of curious what else has changed about the software but i feel like i got to take a look at the new camera first one of the big innovations on the z-fold 3 was that it was i believe samsung's very first through display camera well the fold 4 apparently improves on this let's go ahead and fire up the camera app i have two capture buttons just little software things i'm glad i'm glad we've got this bottom row of icons on the new one but the software experience not perfect oh you know what ah man now i want to know if stories is supported yet okay one moment please sorry i'm getting distracted here wait what why is the shorts one not there shorts is supposed to work it might not make sense to you that samsung has invested so much in improving the small screen experience but as someone who actually daily drives one of these things i can tell you you're going to end up using the small screen a lot more than you probably realize typing even with the split keyboard on the full size screen honestly it's not the greatest and while it's amazing how thin samsung has made their fold series devices it is not the easiest to hold on to you know what i mean like it's whereas this is substantial you can like you can really grab onto it do they actually claim that the image quality changed or just that it's less distracting because this does not look any better if anything it looks ever so marginally worse although i can't necessarily trust the preview they say it's the same okay the rear camera is where we see one of the big improvements over the fold three it's gone from 12 to 50 megapixels on the main shooter and the telephoto shooter has gone from 2x optical zoom to 3x zoom although it goes down from 12 megapixels to 10 but then again megapixels are not the be all and end all anyway it does 8k video who cares i give you my personal Linus tech tips guarantee that the 8k video won't look very good i'm having a hard time understanding this new interface here you said they do three times zoom on it now three times optical well they don't even have three x as like one of the default options here so what how do i switch lenses samsung okay NVIDIA i can looks like i'm just using the main shooter and digitally zooming no matter what i do what's up alex oh my god that looks terrible i'm gonna take that same picture on the fold three and then what we're gonna do is we're just gonna digitally zoom in and it's probably gonna look better wait that's the color i used the the 6x i used the 6x zoom and it's pretty bad well that's that's the thing the camera app's super confusing when you're in the photo mode it offers you one two four and six but they're all in four by three 50 megapixels so that would seem to indicate that it's using the primary sensor now to be clear if you just like use one x mode it's fine but this six times zoom one look at how bad a job it does with skin tones here's belle that's yeah pretty much what he looks like that's not right a lot of what i'd like to say about the fold four is stuff that i wouldn't be able to figure out until i've daily driven it for at least a couple of weeks like one thing for example is my plex app on my fold three will often open to just a blank screen oh did it do it look at that i can't you can't script this stuff uh it'll often open to just a blank screen that could be on plex they definitely have bugs in their app but i've certainly noticed buggier behavior overall with my foldable device than what i would expect from a non-foldable device there's other things that samsung really can't do anything about they just need google or app developers to fix their shiz for example some apps if you open them in the front screen and then open up the main screen they actually don't expand until you click this button and the whole app relaunches so whatever it is you were doing wherever you left off you will lose your place and you'll just go to where whatever the home screen of that app is none of it's a deal breaker for me though because really it comes down to reading and productivity i just read more when i'm using one of these large screen foldable devices and for me that's that's actually a good thing and as for productivity man nothing beats being able to run something like you know teamviewer remote desktop application on a screen this size compared to a screen that's maybe 60 70 this size another thing samsung can't do much about is battery life they both have the same 4 400 milliamp hour battery and it's oh k i started with 85 today it's 245 i'm at 37 if i'd gone all the way to 100 which can reduce the longevity of your battery by the way i'd be sitting at about 52 but i'm not really halfway through my day so i often find myself topping up the fold in a way that i wouldn't necessarily have to do with the device that didn't have such a large screen or that had a larger internal battery yeah overall i can't really complain about the soft wear the apps a little bit eighteen hundred us dollars they have gotta get the price down for these things sorry just told me the price man i mean it's a little cheaper than last time weren't they two grand last time is it the same ah ah yeah they're just not gonna penetrate the mainstream this way but front screen i'd say is the the biggest most worthy upgrade out of everything that i've seen here i don't need more performance not in a device like this i don't really use it for gaming but this is nice to have less bezel along the side here so that's that's pretty cool honestly the upgrade is so small even that it's not really worth the hassle for me to log into all my crap and install all my apps on this i think i'm just gonna keep using the full three which doesn't mean that you know if all things equal i wouldn't choose the fold four but it is a real pain in the butt to get all my crap set up again i just don't feel like it i do have to say though despite any negativity you guys might have picked up from me about the price or the differences compared to the last generation obviously with access to any phone in the world i still choose to daily drive a fold i believe in the concept i believe that samsung's execution is the best overall package so far and the only reason that i'm disappointed at all is because i'm i'm rooting for this technology i just want it to keep getting better but i feel like telling you thanks for watching subscribe to ShortCircuit"}
