WEBVTT 00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:04.960 samsung's unpacked 2021 event is happening right now we're gonna have it 00:00:03.679 --> 00:00:10.000 linked in the video description so you guys can check out all the big announcements there's the new galaxy 00:00:07.919 --> 00:00:16.400 watch four series galaxy buds two there's a new flip but for me 00:00:12.000 --> 00:00:18.400 the big one is the galaxy z fold 3 5g 00:00:16.400 --> 00:00:21.520 this is their third generation flagship foldable and if you're a long time 00:00:19.760 --> 00:00:25.920 viewer you will know that i am absolutely jacked to get my hands on 00:00:24.160 --> 00:00:29.920 this thing and an absolute first i actually get to look 00:00:28.160 --> 00:00:34.320 at it early although i only have a couple of hours to get through it in as 00:00:31.920 --> 00:00:39.440 much detail as possible before unpacked is gonna go live so without further ado 00:00:37.040 --> 00:00:44.960 we are gonna rip this thing open and take this baby for as hard a test drive 00:00:41.920 --> 00:00:48.000 as i possibly can obviously one of the 00:00:44.960 --> 00:00:50.320 big highlights is the under screen 00:00:48.000 --> 00:00:53.199 camera okay it's not turned on yet but i'll show you in a sec 00:00:51.840 --> 00:00:57.120 oh right after i tell you about our sponsor glasswire with glassware you can 00:00:55.760 --> 00:01:01.120 instantly see your current and past network activity detect malware and 00:00:59.120 --> 00:01:05.439 block badly behaving apps on your pc or Android device use offer code Linus and 00:01:03.120 --> 00:01:08.439 get 25 off glassware at the link down below 00:01:15.119 --> 00:01:20.080 conspicuously absent from the unboxing experience is 00:01:18.240 --> 00:01:24.880 an included charger that's right my friends just a cable and instructions 00:01:22.799 --> 00:01:28.960 for how to use either the single sim or dual sim tray depending on what your 00:01:26.799 --> 00:01:32.400 phone has so if we're going to criticize apple for it then we have to hold 00:01:30.240 --> 00:01:35.360 samsung to the same standard though to samsung's credit they do have some 00:01:33.759 --> 00:01:40.479 launch bundles with some pretty good value ads now i have a bit of a concern 00:01:37.759 --> 00:01:45.040 i have not actually fired this up yet Jake prepped the device and i don't see 00:01:42.560 --> 00:01:48.640 anything about this externally that would indicate that i actually got 00:01:46.960 --> 00:01:52.240 a new fold this looks 00:01:50.159 --> 00:01:56.320 oh no oh it's got a wider speaker grille here 00:01:53.200 --> 00:01:58.159 okay i had a little i had a little panic 00:01:56.320 --> 00:02:03.040 moment there i thought maybe they put a fold two uh default two in the box but 00:02:01.119 --> 00:02:08.720 no you can see we've got a clearly different camera array and we ended up 00:02:05.280 --> 00:02:10.640 with the black version now the hinge 00:02:08.720 --> 00:02:16.080 that was one of the biggest improvements from the first gen to the second gen was 00:02:13.040 --> 00:02:18.959 the hinge way more robust this time i'd 00:02:16.080 --> 00:02:23.520 say it's got if anything actually even a slightly tighter springier feel to it it 00:02:21.840 --> 00:02:29.120 feels even better but the big improvement is that the hinge is now 00:02:26.319 --> 00:02:33.360 waterproof actually i lied samsung gave up and decided that it was impossible to 00:02:31.840 --> 00:02:37.680 waterproof the hinge because of the moving parts and i can see what they 00:02:35.440 --> 00:02:42.400 mean but because they wanted to give the galaxy z fold 3 a waterproof rating of 00:02:40.640 --> 00:02:48.080 ipx8 they independently waterproofed the two 00:02:45.680 --> 00:02:52.800 separate parts of the phone then they actually treated the internals of the 00:02:49.920 --> 00:02:58.400 hinge with both an anti-corrosive and lubricating agent to ensure that even if 00:02:55.280 --> 00:03:00.800 water does inevitably leak inside it it 00:02:58.400 --> 00:03:05.760 will continue to operate so let's go ahead they rate it for 00:03:02.959 --> 00:03:09.040 one and a half hours 30 meters down so theoretically everything should be fine 00:03:07.760 --> 00:03:12.640 wow that is extremely dirty water i probably should 00:03:11.120 --> 00:03:16.239 have washed out this container before i put it in there but 00:03:14.159 --> 00:03:20.959 uh i mean should i go for gold should i fold it 00:03:18.560 --> 00:03:20.959 okay 00:03:22.319 --> 00:03:28.640 holy schnikeys world's first waterproof 00:03:26.080 --> 00:03:32.640 foldable ladies and gentlemen okay with its biggest challenge out of the way 00:03:30.560 --> 00:03:37.120 let's dry it off and talk about the under screen camera i want to get the 00:03:34.799 --> 00:03:40.319 big questions answered first here andy i mean i didn't have to do the water demo 00:03:38.879 --> 00:03:43.680 first but you know i like to live dangerously right 00:03:42.560 --> 00:03:49.120 okay you too can get a great phone drying shirt at lttstore.com all right so when 00:03:47.760 --> 00:03:53.440 you're watching classic shows you're either stuck with a hole punch in your 00:03:50.959 --> 00:03:58.000 4x3 content or you've got a black bar and you're not making use of that giant 00:03:55.440 --> 00:04:02.319 screen that you paid so much for i'm hoping that this will completely 00:04:00.400 --> 00:04:08.280 eliminate that problem so let's go ahead and fire up some 4x3 content 00:04:04.640 --> 00:04:11.360 there it is yup it goes right over top 00:04:08.280 --> 00:04:12.959 interesting so samsung has taken a bit 00:04:11.360 --> 00:04:15.439 of a different approach than i might have expected with their hole punch 00:04:14.400 --> 00:04:20.479 camera like it doesn't have the full resolution 00:04:18.959 --> 00:04:25.520 of the display in front of it not even close come take a look at this 00:04:22.800 --> 00:04:30.639 so they've actually got a much much less dense matrix of pixels here can you see 00:04:28.160 --> 00:04:34.880 that andy so you can actually clearly see through it which actually makes 00:04:32.720 --> 00:04:40.240 sense because that's exactly how the transparent xiaomi tv also worked where 00:04:38.080 --> 00:04:45.440 the pixel density was much lower it was only 1080p which by modern standards is 00:04:42.479 --> 00:04:50.000 pretty small for a 55-inch display but that decrease in density allows it to be 00:04:48.000 --> 00:04:53.759 more see-through and it was more transparent one direction than the other 00:04:51.759 --> 00:04:57.680 which is probably exactly how this one's arranged 00:04:54.960 --> 00:05:03.199 so it's more transparent from the back and then we see the lit pixels now 00:05:00.479 --> 00:05:07.120 i can spot it obviously like i can see it from this distance away 00:05:05.360 --> 00:05:12.560 but what it isn't is nearly as distracting as a hole in 00:05:09.840 --> 00:05:17.280 the content off-axis i can really see it but when i look at it straight on like 00:05:14.880 --> 00:05:21.360 if i'm just watching i'm not going to notice it especially 00:05:19.360 --> 00:05:25.600 with sdr content like this where the resolution is pretty low 00:05:22.960 --> 00:05:29.919 anyway that is a crazy big difference especially when you consider that the 00:05:26.960 --> 00:05:34.639 screen's only a little bit bigger at 7.6 inches but that image because we're not 00:05:32.320 --> 00:05:40.000 stuck with that stupid black bar it's way bigger whatever i'm jacked i'll 00:05:37.680 --> 00:05:43.840 rewatch the whole ducktales series now of course underscreen cameras with good 00:05:41.680 --> 00:05:48.960 transparency have existed for some time now the real question is how does that 00:05:46.240 --> 00:05:52.960 camera that's hiding in there perform now back when the z-fold 2 came out i 00:05:50.960 --> 00:05:56.880 questioned the inclusion of this camera at all because i was like well if you 00:05:54.560 --> 00:06:00.639 want to take a selfie you can use this one and just use the screen on the front 00:05:58.880 --> 00:06:04.960 and if you don't want to take a selfie then you should use the main camera but 00:06:02.560 --> 00:06:09.360 there are lots of applications that do kind of require a camera on the screen 00:06:07.360 --> 00:06:14.400 that you're using and one of samsung's big focuses with this device was use 00:06:12.080 --> 00:06:17.759 cases like this so whether you're in a video conference and you've got all the 00:06:16.000 --> 00:06:21.759 participants down here and then you've got whatever you're presenting up here 00:06:19.840 --> 00:06:25.440 or whether you are i mean really a video conference would be one of the main 00:06:23.280 --> 00:06:29.680 applications for that you are going to need a front-facing camera so let's go 00:06:27.600 --> 00:06:33.280 ahead and flip it around see how it does and it's 00:06:30.960 --> 00:06:37.360 not perfect in fact one of the weaknesses is immediately noticeable 00:06:35.120 --> 00:06:40.160 hold on i'm going to record video so okay this is for sync so you guys can 00:06:38.880 --> 00:06:43.199 see what i'm talking about is you can actually see 00:06:41.919 --> 00:06:47.919 distortion so that purple that purple glow is there 00:06:45.440 --> 00:06:52.240 that's real but this distortion from this light source is not something that 00:06:50.319 --> 00:06:57.759 i would expect to see on a normal selfie camera and in fact we're going to use 00:06:54.080 --> 00:07:00.720 the old samsung galaxy z full 2 00:06:57.759 --> 00:07:04.080 to compare to it so you can see you can actually see the red green and blue 00:07:02.960 --> 00:07:08.319 pixels distorting this bright light source as 00:07:06.639 --> 00:07:13.039 it's coming in and you can see the marked difference in sharpness between 00:07:10.880 --> 00:07:17.120 these two cameras of course nobody's buying a phone with an under screen 00:07:15.039 --> 00:07:21.280 camera for you know the best in picture quality but it is something that you 00:07:18.880 --> 00:07:25.280 guys should know okay now let's put it in a situation that's a little bit more 00:07:23.520 --> 00:07:28.479 favorable like here where i don't have a 00:07:26.720 --> 00:07:34.080 particularly bright light source behind me and i'm kind of sitting at my desk 00:07:30.479 --> 00:07:37.080 using my phone as a as yeah okay 00:07:34.080 --> 00:07:37.080 interesting 00:07:37.360 --> 00:07:43.039 huh now that is cool samsung is clearly 00:07:41.039 --> 00:07:46.479 doing some kind of post-processing to increase the sharpness here and you 00:07:44.560 --> 00:07:50.560 could tell it couldn't do it when it had that strong backlight but now the 00:07:49.039 --> 00:07:54.319 difference in sharpness between these two cameras 00:07:52.080 --> 00:07:58.720 not that much when i'm not in motion 00:07:56.560 --> 00:08:02.560 when i hold still you can see it kind of sharpens up 00:08:00.639 --> 00:08:08.639 that's really cool huh don't you love technology i sure do 00:08:05.599 --> 00:08:08.639 how much thinner is it 00:08:09.360 --> 00:08:14.319 it is almost exactly the same 00:08:12.720 --> 00:08:18.560 i wouldn't describe it as noticeable in day-to-day use but they managed to get 00:08:16.160 --> 00:08:25.599 the external screen ever so slightly larger while also slightly reducing 00:08:22.800 --> 00:08:29.599 the width of the phone as a whole man it's it's barely noticeable though 00:08:28.000 --> 00:08:33.760 can you even tell the one at the back should be a touch 00:08:31.280 --> 00:08:36.640 taller yeah it's like slightly taller not much 00:08:35.279 --> 00:08:42.880 one of the other things samsung was really proud of was the grade of aluminum that they used on the device it 00:08:39.839 --> 00:08:44.480 does feel really nice to the touch 00:08:42.880 --> 00:08:47.600 but one of the demos they did was they whacked it against a regular piece of 00:08:46.080 --> 00:08:52.480 aluminum and showed that only the regular raw aluminum was marked by that 00:08:50.240 --> 00:08:56.480 interaction unfortunately they didn't compare it to any of the other hardened 00:08:54.160 --> 00:09:00.160 aluminum alloys that we know of so i don't know you know how it compares to 00:08:58.240 --> 00:09:03.760 allies because no one would use raw aluminum in a device like this 00:09:02.640 --> 00:09:08.560 now let's talk about one of the other big upgrades both the fold 2 and fold 3 00:09:06.560 --> 00:09:13.760 have 120 hertz high refresh rate displays on the inside but only the fold 00:09:10.959 --> 00:09:19.440 three has a 120 hertz display on the outside so if like me you find yourself 00:09:17.040 --> 00:09:23.680 using it in like well they call it candy bar mode in candy bar mode a fair bit 00:09:22.080 --> 00:09:27.200 when you're just sort of quickly replying to a message or something like 00:09:25.279 --> 00:09:31.279 that you're going to get that nice responsive experience regardless of 00:09:29.440 --> 00:09:34.640 which display you want to use man this is something they've really improved 00:09:33.040 --> 00:09:38.959 since the original fold a lot the experience of going from the outside 00:09:36.800 --> 00:09:42.240 display to the inside one that's the more common use case where you'd have an 00:09:40.800 --> 00:09:48.000 app open like here let's say the play store you just go like this boom 00:09:45.279 --> 00:09:51.920 now we are in the the folded experience now normally apps will close when you 00:09:50.320 --> 00:09:55.600 close it but you probably noticed on my fold too that plex continued playing 00:09:54.320 --> 00:10:00.160 that video earlier that's because you can configure certain apps to stay 00:09:58.000 --> 00:10:03.360 running when you fold the device it just assumes that in most cases you're 00:10:02.000 --> 00:10:08.640 folding it up because you're ready to put it away and you want the display to turn off 00:10:06.000 --> 00:10:13.680 there's lots of things that just look that just transition so much better like 00:10:10.640 --> 00:10:16.399 here okay so here we go let's transition 00:10:13.680 --> 00:10:20.320 boom look at that and samsung talked a lot about partnerships and how they're 00:10:18.320 --> 00:10:24.480 optimizing apps for the full 3 experience so youtube for example has 00:10:22.800 --> 00:10:29.360 apparently gotten an optimization where you can do 00:10:26.399 --> 00:10:33.760 go like this hey there you go you can watch on here while you scroll comments 00:10:31.920 --> 00:10:37.200 because you want to subject yourself to that for whatever reason down on the 00:10:35.680 --> 00:10:40.320 bottom screen and let's see can we even reply 00:10:38.880 --> 00:10:43.839 look at that we can type our little reply hello 00:10:42.160 --> 00:10:47.120 now if i bought a device like this i really don't think that i would end up 00:10:45.279 --> 00:10:52.640 watching content like that very often i'd be all about that big screen 00:10:48.959 --> 00:10:54.480 experience but your mileage may vary 00:10:52.640 --> 00:10:58.480 one thing your mileage may vary about is whether you like samsung's vivid display 00:10:57.120 --> 00:11:03.519 profile come on guys look at mine and riley's 00:11:01.200 --> 00:11:07.360 lips we look like we're wearing lipstick can you see that ridiculous let me get 00:11:05.680 --> 00:11:10.480 that fine-tuned i realize we've gotten this far without really talking speeds 00:11:09.120 --> 00:11:16.839 and feeds so in the u.s it's going to have a snapdragon 888 processor 12 gigs 00:11:12.800 --> 00:11:19.120 of RAM and 256 or 512 gigs of 00:11:16.839 --> 00:11:24.399 non-expandable storage it's gonna have wireless charging fast charging but not 00:11:21.519 --> 00:11:28.480 like crazy super fast charging and then outside of the us it's gonna have an 00:11:25.920 --> 00:11:33.279 exynos 2100 processor now according to some testing from gsm 00:11:30.880 --> 00:11:37.360 arena they found that the exynos and snapdragon this generation are pretty 00:11:35.120 --> 00:11:40.720 close in terms of performance but 00:11:38.240 --> 00:11:45.040 the exynos variant does tend to thermal throttle faster and harder so that's 00:11:43.279 --> 00:11:48.959 something that unfortunately i don't have enough hands-on time with it in 00:11:46.640 --> 00:11:51.760 order to test right now but could be something to watch out for if you're 00:11:50.320 --> 00:11:56.240 outside of the us other key specs it's got a 4400 milliamp 00:11:54.000 --> 00:12:00.880 hour battery nano sim slot fingerprint sensor over here on the right just like 00:11:57.839 --> 00:12:03.200 the full two and of course a whole whack 00:12:00.880 --> 00:12:08.560 ton of cameras so on the back we have three 12 megapixel shooters a wide an 00:12:05.920 --> 00:12:14.399 ultra wide and a telephoto then on the cover we have a 10 megapixel and on the 00:12:11.120 --> 00:12:16.480 inside that is just a 4 megapixel built 00:12:14.399 --> 00:12:19.760 into the display so it's really intended for video conferencing where it's going 00:12:18.000 --> 00:12:23.360 to end up destroyed by compression anyway and not for you know taking the 00:12:22.160 --> 00:12:26.880 most you know beautiful duck face selfies you 00:12:25.279 --> 00:12:30.399 know what i should try i should try all the different cameras here oh you can 00:12:28.800 --> 00:12:34.079 choose apps that will continue on your cover screen when you close your phone look at that it even prompts you to do 00:12:32.800 --> 00:12:41.040 that thing i was telling you about well camera for one 00:12:36.839 --> 00:12:42.560 uh definitely netflix and plaques choose 00:12:41.040 --> 00:12:44.800 a color tone for your selfies natural yeah 00:12:45.600 --> 00:12:53.480 and they have a little motion photo feature now kind of like the iphone that's cool i'm expecting this to be 00:12:50.320 --> 00:12:53.480 much better 00:12:53.600 --> 00:13:00.720 did i get it oh yeah i got it i look ridiculous oh yeah you can really tell 00:12:59.120 --> 00:13:05.360 on that under display one check this out andy so there's under display 00:13:03.200 --> 00:13:09.360 and there's not under display that's a lot sharper and that's the main 00:13:07.440 --> 00:13:12.800 shooter now something they didn't talk about much in the briefing actually 00:13:11.200 --> 00:13:16.399 really at all now that i think about it but that was a big difference from the 00:13:14.560 --> 00:13:20.240 fold one to the full two with screen brightness it was really dim on the fold 00:13:18.959 --> 00:13:25.760 one to the point that it was kind of difficult to use outside and that's something that i'd like to see if they 00:13:23.120 --> 00:13:31.920 improved here oh wow that looks a lot better i'm 00:13:28.639 --> 00:13:33.760 surprised they aren't talking about this 00:13:31.920 --> 00:13:37.200 trey's interesting let me make sure that both displays are actually set the same 00:13:35.839 --> 00:13:42.560 because right this one's probably still in vivid mode oh this is cool right 00:13:40.480 --> 00:13:46.560 here's yet another large screen optimization that they've made even 00:13:44.079 --> 00:13:51.600 something as simple as the settings menu now has the sub menu over on one side 00:13:49.600 --> 00:13:56.000 see that so if you've got your oh i don't know let's say display settings if 00:13:53.839 --> 00:13:58.959 i can find the bloody thing there we go here it would just show it to you on the 00:13:57.680 --> 00:14:02.880 whole screen and then you'd have to go back here you can just click through all 00:14:01.279 --> 00:14:06.000 these different menus and sub menus and then you can go ahead and play around 00:14:04.320 --> 00:14:10.880 with them in here so let's go ahead and change screen mode to natural 00:14:08.480 --> 00:14:14.480 there we go now they're actually looking very very similar 00:14:12.880 --> 00:14:17.839 it looks a little brighter to my eye not a ton though i wouldn't think 00:14:16.560 --> 00:14:20.880 yeah i can see why they wouldn't talk about it if it's that close another big 00:14:19.920 --> 00:14:25.040 feature compatibility with the s pen now there 00:14:23.360 --> 00:14:28.800 are two versions of the s pen there's the fold edition and then there's the s 00:14:27.120 --> 00:14:32.720 pen pro and it looks like they've sent me the s pen pro although i didn't have 00:14:30.880 --> 00:14:36.639 pictures of them in my pre-briefing material so i'm doing my best with it 00:14:34.560 --> 00:14:39.519 but given that the s pen pro has an integrated battery and this has a type c 00:14:38.320 --> 00:14:43.519 port on the back for charging i'm assuming that it's this one by the way 00:14:41.839 --> 00:14:47.360 as soon as i change it over to natural the color grading on this video looks 00:14:45.279 --> 00:14:51.120 fine just fine so thank you very much samsung for at least just making it one 00:14:49.040 --> 00:14:56.800 click to go back to a proper screen mode okay only s pens designed oh 00:14:54.720 --> 00:15:00.560 interesting only s pen is designed for your galaxy fold other s pens will 00:14:58.800 --> 00:15:04.720 damage the screen set it to z fold mode before using it on 00:15:02.959 --> 00:15:08.800 your fold okay so there's a little switch here boop 00:15:06.880 --> 00:15:13.199 okay okay and so that immediately starts just 00:15:11.120 --> 00:15:17.760 passively working this is another perfect example of i can definitely see 00:15:15.279 --> 00:15:21.680 the camera if i look for it but if i'm not looking for it i don't notice it 00:15:22.000 --> 00:15:29.839 hello wow responsiveness is extremely 00:15:27.519 --> 00:15:34.000 high so extremely light strokes it does 00:15:31.760 --> 00:15:37.040 struggle with a little bit but wow 00:15:35.600 --> 00:15:44.639 wow my uh you can see why i never write anything 00:15:40.800 --> 00:15:46.160 my penmanship not the best but 00:15:44.639 --> 00:15:50.880 that is really responsive 00:15:48.800 --> 00:15:53.839 now obviously people are going to want to 00:15:52.800 --> 00:15:59.360 know will an old s pen work so i guess we're 00:15:56.639 --> 00:16:03.279 going to find out oh it yells at you 00:16:01.600 --> 00:16:06.839 it says no no you may not 00:16:04.800 --> 00:16:12.480 okay what if i have this one close and then i touch it with this one 00:16:10.560 --> 00:16:17.040 no i'm not liking uh i think there's a 00:16:14.720 --> 00:16:20.839 writing to text thing here let me try this actually 00:16:22.720 --> 00:16:29.839 testing okay yeah it works um writing to text is a feature that they talked about 00:16:27.440 --> 00:16:33.600 a lot in the pre-briefing i don't see it as useful for myself personally i type 00:16:31.839 --> 00:16:38.560 extremely quickly using the on-screen keyboard especially the excellent one that 00:16:36.320 --> 00:16:42.639 samsung includes with a really well thought out split 00:16:40.000 --> 00:16:45.600 but for people who you know let's say right in chinese or korean where it can 00:16:44.320 --> 00:16:49.600 be a little bit more challenging to input text with a keyboard 00:16:47.680 --> 00:16:53.680 it looks like a great feature it's just one that's not that applicable to me so 00:16:51.680 --> 00:16:57.120 here's their split keyboard you can use swiftkey with a split keyboard there are 00:16:55.199 --> 00:17:01.120 other third party keyboards but this was a case of a first party keyboard 00:16:58.880 --> 00:17:04.959 actually not being abhorrent to me so i ended up keeping it with the z fold too 00:17:03.199 --> 00:17:08.400 let's see i mean this is kind of an interesting use case 00:17:07.039 --> 00:17:14.160 so you can kind of okay i'm trying to write 00:17:12.240 --> 00:17:20.880 upside down it's going to be really confused type i may have managed to 00:17:18.799 --> 00:17:25.839 but that's kind of neat does the faux three come with a string protector this 00:17:23.280 --> 00:17:30.799 time okay that's a complicated question to answer so the full two came with a 00:17:28.799 --> 00:17:36.720 screen protector that made the screen feel really plasticky and unpleasant and 00:17:33.600 --> 00:17:38.960 i actually removed it and did not end up 00:17:36.720 --> 00:17:44.400 being able to scratch it at all in my in my daily use of it 00:17:42.000 --> 00:17:47.520 so i was but it is does still have a protective layer on it so it doesn't 00:17:45.760 --> 00:17:51.679 feel quite like glass because it's more of a plastic it has to 00:17:49.679 --> 00:17:55.600 fold you know the three 00:17:53.200 --> 00:17:59.520 does appear to have a bit of a ridge right at the edges 00:17:57.280 --> 00:18:03.200 but what i will say about it is that it feels 00:18:00.799 --> 00:18:06.720 just as good to my finger as the raw fold too so 00:18:05.039 --> 00:18:10.640 i wouldn't recommend removing it here's why i need it this 00:18:08.880 --> 00:18:15.280 was another big partnership message for samsung so how they optimized the 00:18:12.240 --> 00:18:17.120 spotify app for either their normal 00:18:15.280 --> 00:18:21.200 interface so you go your search is over here your library is over here or 00:18:21.360 --> 00:18:27.120 fold interface so now if you're looking at your library or search or whatever 00:18:25.360 --> 00:18:30.480 else that's over here and then you've got now playing you've got your media 00:18:28.480 --> 00:18:33.760 controls right accessible to your left thumb now 00:18:31.840 --> 00:18:38.160 of course my biggest issue and the reason that i have not been able to 00:18:35.760 --> 00:18:41.520 daily drive exclusively a full device up until now 00:18:39.280 --> 00:18:45.840 is that the youtube app has not been fully featured on previous fold devices 00:18:43.840 --> 00:18:49.360 so now is the moment of truth where i find out if i can switch to this thing 00:18:47.919 --> 00:18:53.600 by opening up youtube of course consumption the consumption experience 00:18:51.360 --> 00:18:58.000 is excellent but what about the creators there's literally thousands 00:18:56.400 --> 00:19:01.919 of us okay create okay allow access come on can i 00:19:00.160 --> 00:19:05.360 come back record and go live is that it 00:19:08.320 --> 00:19:14.080 okay that is not a good sign 00:19:11.919 --> 00:19:18.000 even on the older fold too when i click create 00:19:15.760 --> 00:19:23.039 i am allowed to post a community post but when we contrast that with what 00:19:19.679 --> 00:19:25.440 happens on my trusty note 9 00:19:23.039 --> 00:19:31.200 i can upload a video create a short go live add to my story or create a post 00:19:28.960 --> 00:19:36.640 i don't know i don't know how to communicate this more clearly samsung 00:19:33.679 --> 00:19:41.600 google both of you you have to fix this especially with the rumored upcoming 00:19:38.720 --> 00:19:46.240 foldable pixel device i can't have such a dramatically different experience from 00:19:44.000 --> 00:19:49.760 one Android device to the next when i click the same bloody button in an app 00:19:48.799 --> 00:19:53.280 three different behaviors for the same 00:19:52.480 --> 00:19:59.039 app no no no no no no no no 00:19:56.480 --> 00:20:03.200 bad and before 100 of you start bleeding at me that i need to you know do it in 00:20:01.120 --> 00:20:07.039 candy bar mode or something like that let's try that all right 00:20:05.840 --> 00:20:11.120 no work i mean the truth is that i record most 00:20:08.960 --> 00:20:14.799 of my video clips on the iphone that i keep in my back pocket anyway 00:20:13.280 --> 00:20:19.200 but like not being able to access basic 00:20:17.440 --> 00:20:23.039 functionality like posting a community post from a device i don't understand 00:20:21.200 --> 00:20:27.760 how google considers this acceptable i don't understand why they don't just hurry up and validate this device i 00:20:26.080 --> 00:20:31.840 don't know why samsung considers it acceptable especially because they have to know 00:20:30.400 --> 00:20:37.919 that a lot of the most influential reviewers out there guys like mkbhd or 00:20:35.280 --> 00:20:41.919 mr who's the boss like if they have any hope whatsoever of convincing 00:20:39.840 --> 00:20:45.600 influencers like that to use this device i mean me too right 00:20:44.080 --> 00:20:51.200 it has to work for creators right 00:20:48.799 --> 00:20:54.240 but there's other good stuff let's fire up some games shall we 00:20:54.640 --> 00:21:00.960 now that is big screen mobile gaming 00:21:01.039 --> 00:21:08.000 wow that is a whopping 2268 00:21:05.440 --> 00:21:15.039 by 832. like what 00:21:09.919 --> 00:21:15.039 oh my god that is that is something else 00:21:15.280 --> 00:21:19.840 now i've never actually played cod mobile before so you'll have to forgive 00:21:18.400 --> 00:21:25.840 me i don't even know how to run this is pathetic they've really nailed down the actual 00:21:23.360 --> 00:21:29.520 fold in the display like obviously if i'm looking for it it's like the under 00:21:27.120 --> 00:21:33.520 screen camera right like i can find it but when you are just immersed in 00:21:32.000 --> 00:21:39.200 content like this you're not gonna notice that oh that's how you run okay cool 00:21:37.120 --> 00:21:44.080 it's so big like it's like clicking on giant 00:21:41.760 --> 00:21:47.600 blown up enemies man this thing makes even someone like me functional at this 00:21:46.159 --> 00:21:51.919 game nice 00:21:50.159 --> 00:21:56.240 okay are these bots or something because i'm pretty sure i'm not that good at 00:21:53.200 --> 00:21:57.679 this oh man 00:21:56.240 --> 00:22:02.159 that that is a different experience right 00:21:59.919 --> 00:22:05.280 there yeah it's pretty good 00:22:03.760 --> 00:22:09.600 one thing i was surprised to see was samsung encouraging users to dig into 00:22:07.520 --> 00:22:13.919 the Labs features under advanced features here so this allows you to have 00:22:11.919 --> 00:22:18.960 multi-window for all apps like say for example you wanted to 00:22:16.159 --> 00:22:23.600 uh shop on one side and then read reviews on another side let me just open 00:22:21.280 --> 00:22:27.360 up another another app here interesting okay i didn't get the 00:22:25.039 --> 00:22:31.120 shopping thing working immediately but i found another thing where you can enable 00:22:29.280 --> 00:22:34.559 apps that don't natively support it for this viewing experience 00:22:32.960 --> 00:22:38.000 and check this out plex so you've got your controls down 00:22:36.960 --> 00:22:43.360 here and your media playback there 00:22:40.720 --> 00:22:46.880 and it just like worked uh so it was this flex mode flex mode panel thing so 00:22:45.360 --> 00:22:50.720 you can just uh you know the phone app obviously 00:22:49.200 --> 00:22:54.320 supports it by default but not everything does 00:22:52.640 --> 00:22:59.679 this multi window for all apps thing i want to figure out how you 00:22:56.799 --> 00:23:04.159 how you multi-window things well i was figuring out the side-by-side 00:23:01.440 --> 00:23:07.600 view thing i found the feature to just run any app in a little window like this 00:23:06.080 --> 00:23:12.960 on top of whatever else you're doing so i've got the youtube app running like that you just go into your multitasking 00:23:11.360 --> 00:23:16.240 okay i guess it turns it into a bubble when you go into that that is super cool 00:23:14.400 --> 00:23:20.640 so here's how we get rid of it and then we go oh yeah okay it's dead well that's fine 00:23:19.120 --> 00:23:24.480 let's do it with this one so we just drag it here for pop-up view and then we 00:23:23.200 --> 00:23:28.000 can resize it a little something like that and we can just have our like 00:23:26.320 --> 00:23:31.440 browser right over here or wherever the heck else it is that we want it 00:23:29.760 --> 00:23:35.200 that's pretty neat i will figure out this side-by-side thing 00:23:33.440 --> 00:23:38.720 bloody hell it's the same as the old one so you swipe in from the side and then 00:23:36.880 --> 00:23:42.559 you can actually have pre-configured side-by-sides like say for example you 00:23:41.120 --> 00:23:47.600 wanted to watch a youtube video while you're browsing the web you could do that or you could just grab youtube and 00:23:46.159 --> 00:23:53.280 go um hello what did i click oh shoot i 00:23:51.200 --> 00:23:57.679 accidentally clicked that first one okay let's try that again so i've got my web 00:23:55.039 --> 00:23:57.679 browser open 00:24:00.320 --> 00:24:07.840 i don't know maybe here uh yeah you know what let's go up top 00:24:05.280 --> 00:24:12.400 there we go so we can go ahead and watch an LTT video up there while we're 00:24:09.760 --> 00:24:16.080 browsing ltteststore.com down here we've got mousepads in stock right now 00:24:14.080 --> 00:24:19.279 guys we've got these cool new retro GPU shirts Linus plushies underwear and 00:24:18.240 --> 00:24:24.559 stock look at all that good stuff we've got there 00:24:21.919 --> 00:24:27.039 freaking fantastic you can easily resize things if you're more into that sort of 00:24:26.159 --> 00:24:32.240 thing and i believe you just click here yep that's right you can switch them around 00:24:30.559 --> 00:24:35.600 if you want to focus on your video for a little bit and 00:24:33.840 --> 00:24:40.159 there we go and we can actually add 00:24:37.679 --> 00:24:45.760 additional items as well so let's go ahead and chuck i don't know let's do 00:24:42.159 --> 00:24:47.840 some messaging maybe on this side 00:24:45.760 --> 00:24:51.679 now obviously our keyboard is going to kind of complicate the experience a bit 00:24:50.400 --> 00:24:56.720 but hey at least the functionality is there even if 7.6 inches might be a little small 00:24:55.200 --> 00:25:00.320 for three apps another shopping or comparison related 00:24:58.559 --> 00:25:04.640 feature is the chrome browser natively supports opening in a side-by-side 00:25:02.240 --> 00:25:08.640 window now which is pretty cool so let's just 00:25:08.640 --> 00:25:14.559 there you go open a new window so you can you know read reviews of the product 00:25:13.120 --> 00:25:18.960 or whatever while you're still looking at the entire catalog pretty pretty sick 00:25:19.520 --> 00:25:24.159 that's a good question probably it will just keep doing what it's doing yeah 00:25:22.880 --> 00:25:27.520 just like that yeah it's 00:25:25.919 --> 00:25:31.760 pretty thoughtful man how gen z am i right now i can't 00:25:29.919 --> 00:25:35.600 even stop watching my youtube video here for long enough to take some pictures 00:25:34.240 --> 00:25:39.760 i don't even know what to take a picture of to be perfectly honest with you 00:25:37.679 --> 00:25:44.480 i can tell immediately that it's over saturating the blues a little bit but 00:25:42.640 --> 00:25:49.520 that kind of is what it is samsung wouldn't be the only mobile camera maker 00:25:47.039 --> 00:25:53.520 to commit that particular sin i mean this isn't the kind of phone that 00:25:50.880 --> 00:25:57.039 you buy for the best photography performance you'd go for something like 00:25:55.039 --> 00:26:00.320 an s-series or a note or something like that if you really wanted that but it's 00:25:58.960 --> 00:26:02.799 not like it won't be perfectly functional 00:26:02.960 --> 00:26:08.960 now we're gonna turn things around and i'm gonna record the cameraman instead 00:26:06.400 --> 00:26:12.159 of the cameraman recording me it's like a mexican standoff 00:26:16.559 --> 00:26:22.720 overall it's doing a really good job of dynamically compensating for 00:26:20.640 --> 00:26:25.840 me pointing at something brighter versus something not so bright 00:26:26.480 --> 00:26:32.159 i mean it'll be perfectly perfectly acceptable in spite of the fact that you 00:26:30.559 --> 00:26:36.880 got to remember in order to make this thing not ridiculously thick 00:26:34.559 --> 00:26:42.960 right each half of the phone has to be thinner than a conventional phone even a 00:26:38.880 --> 00:26:42.960 good phone like this is an iphone 12 pro 00:26:45.360 --> 00:26:51.200 oh yeah it like ai detected i was taking a picture of a vehicle that's cute 00:26:50.000 --> 00:26:55.360 and that puts us pretty much at conclusion time except i actually just noticed something else really cool you 00:26:54.080 --> 00:26:59.840 can actually see it it does struggle a little bit two chrome 00:26:58.240 --> 00:27:04.720 Windows you can see the frame rate drops a little bit when it does that animation 00:27:01.760 --> 00:27:10.000 but that is such a minor issue and this thing is going to be in my pocket the 00:27:07.440 --> 00:27:14.720 second samsung and google get together and make the creation experience as good 00:27:12.080 --> 00:27:18.000 as everything else about this phone is and if you want one 00:27:16.559 --> 00:27:22.480 it's going to be a little bit trickier because these puppies are going for 00:27:19.720 --> 00:27:29.200 17.99 us dollars starting at and in canada around 22.50 00:27:26.480 --> 00:27:33.520 so boy is it expensive but it's a phone experience that's unlike 00:27:31.440 --> 00:27:38.880 anything else on the market quite frankly this 00:27:35.120 --> 00:27:42.400 yeah it's just man it's awesome 00:27:38.880 --> 00:27:44.559 so snappy so snappy and this video is 00:27:42.400 --> 00:27:47.520 brought to you by a classic sponsor dbrand 00:27:45.840 --> 00:27:52.320 um this is a little awkward though did dbrand send a skin nope they just ask 00:27:49.840 --> 00:27:56.640 you to make one oh that's what this is for 00:27:55.679
