WEBVTT 00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:06.399 i've been patiently waiting for samsung to send over 00:00:03.679 --> 00:00:10.320 a galaxy z fold two and i'm still waiting for samsung to send a galaxy z 00:00:08.400 --> 00:00:15.440 full two but that's okay cause our bros over at d brand sent one over and i am extremely 00:00:13.360 --> 00:00:19.199 excited to check this thing out i was a big fan of the original fold with my 00:00:17.279 --> 00:00:22.240 main three complaints being one that the hinge did not hold up for 00:00:21.760 --> 00:00:28.000 me so i opened mine up and i don't know if you can tell very easily but it's really 00:00:26.800 --> 00:00:32.399 noticeable in the hand that's not quite 180 degrees open you 00:00:30.320 --> 00:00:36.800 gotta i have to kind of like overcrank it in order to get it flat 00:00:34.559 --> 00:00:40.480 every time i open the device number two the youtube stories feature in the 00:00:38.800 --> 00:00:44.079 youtube app that rolls to this phone doesn't work for whatever reason i can't 00:00:42.079 --> 00:00:47.120 upload stories which as a youtuber is sort of a problem for me and number 00:00:46.320 --> 00:00:50.399 three the maximum screen brightness is just 00:00:49.600 --> 00:00:54.640 not enough dbrand sent this which should be fairly 00:00:53.280 --> 00:00:59.199 obv should be fairly obvious from the skin 00:00:57.760 --> 00:01:02.800 on the back of the phone you know dbrand you guys are gonna have 00:01:00.960 --> 00:01:07.200 trouble as phones become more and more screened i couldn't help noticing you guys have 00:01:05.040 --> 00:01:09.920 less and less skin to apply but hey at least if your business is gonna 00:01:08.400 --> 00:01:14.159 disappear at least you guys are having fun over there putting uh putting them meme faces on 00:01:12.799 --> 00:01:18.720 them phones you can check them out dbrand.com i had actually forgotten how much of a 00:01:16.960 --> 00:01:22.159 problem that was on the original fold and it doesn't entirely fix it because 00:01:20.640 --> 00:01:28.479 most of what they've added is in the chin and the forehead here but 00:01:25.520 --> 00:01:31.280 the bezels are smaller even if this is kind of hidden yeah you can see they're 00:01:29.600 --> 00:01:35.439 still pretty sizable but they're quite a bit smaller which means that you're not feeling 00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:39.040 quite as cramped at least you're able to have you know four home screen icons 00:01:37.439 --> 00:01:43.040 abreast here that's a pretty big difference maker 00:01:44.079 --> 00:01:47.200 that hinge 00:01:47.680 --> 00:01:54.000 that is next generation oh 00:01:51.119 --> 00:01:57.600 i am extremely pleased with that now in defense of the original fold 00:01:55.920 --> 00:02:02.240 mine's a little worn out this has been fairly heavily used but 00:01:59.119 --> 00:02:05.040 you see that that kind of that crack and 00:02:02.240 --> 00:02:09.280 how wobbly that is you see that here's the z 00:02:05.439 --> 00:02:11.200 fold too quite stiff 00:02:09.280 --> 00:02:15.599 it actually feels like it like a tablet in the hand 00:02:12.480 --> 00:02:17.280 that is a night and day difference 00:02:15.599 --> 00:02:22.080 the other immediately noticeable external difference is that 00:02:19.280 --> 00:02:26.319 gone is the separate lock and fingerprint sensor buttons so just like 00:02:24.160 --> 00:02:30.879 on one of the old xperia's from back in the day they've combined the fingerprint sensor 00:02:29.280 --> 00:02:34.480 and the lock button let's have a look at what the performance is like so 00:02:34.640 --> 00:02:40.560 oh samsung as much as i love the idea 00:02:38.160 --> 00:02:44.720 of underscreen fingerprint sensors your ultrasonic ones just 00:02:42.239 --> 00:02:48.959 are not as fast as your less ultrasonic ones 00:02:45.599 --> 00:02:53.120 that's really responsive feels good 00:02:48.959 --> 00:02:56.080 feels really good 120 hertz display baby 00:02:53.120 --> 00:02:59.840 love that OLED sorry sorry uh after the setup process when you migrate all your 00:02:57.760 --> 00:03:03.280 text messages and contacts and apps and all that stuff it gives you a 00:03:01.599 --> 00:03:07.120 little summary that says hey here's some things we couldn't do you need to go manually back up your 00:03:05.680 --> 00:03:11.120 whatsapp and transfer that over i thought that was really cool not because like i would forget to do that but if it 00:03:10.080 --> 00:03:15.680 was my in-laws it'd be nice to have like a little summary like that of all the 00:03:14.159 --> 00:03:19.840 maintenance tasks you still need to complete i want to compare the maximum 00:03:18.159 --> 00:03:25.760 screen brightness here because daytime readability was a significant 00:03:23.040 --> 00:03:31.040 problem for me that is quite a lot brighter 00:03:27.280 --> 00:03:32.400 okay well this is good uh wait that one 00:03:31.040 --> 00:03:36.720 has a blue light filter on there you go well there's your problem there but in terms of brightness 00:03:35.040 --> 00:03:40.959 that is definitely brighter and one of the things that bothered me about the old fold only sometimes though was that 00:03:39.599 --> 00:03:44.000 if you looked at it directly you couldn't see the crease but if you 00:03:42.720 --> 00:03:49.120 went off axis you see that you can really see it 00:03:47.280 --> 00:03:53.680 so i want to compare that effect on the new one oh it's still there 00:03:52.000 --> 00:03:57.200 it's still there turns out you can't put a big crease down the middle of your 00:03:55.120 --> 00:04:00.799 display and not be able to see it you see that it is better it's 00:03:59.519 --> 00:04:04.159 definitely better but it's also definitely still there the 00:04:03.280 --> 00:04:08.879 good news is that that is an absolute worst case 00:04:06.959 --> 00:04:12.799 scenario for it and in something like video content you are much much less 00:04:11.200 --> 00:04:16.959 likely to notice it to let people with legal copies of 00:04:14.720 --> 00:04:21.440 Windows 7 or 8 upgrade to Windows 10 for free many users have reported the free 00:04:19.280 --> 00:04:25.040 upgrade don't pay for a key the os will still 00:04:23.919 --> 00:04:31.759 work just fine man this is a lot of screen real estate so speakers i would describe 00:04:28.320 --> 00:04:33.120 as okay i mean really i don't know if 00:04:31.759 --> 00:04:37.280 there's much they can do about that this is an extremely slim device and at least 00:04:35.120 --> 00:04:41.120 they're providing stereo speakers which i love the configuration because you can 00:04:39.600 --> 00:04:45.680 hold it on the bottom like this and the speakers are here and here so they're never going to be 00:04:43.600 --> 00:04:48.400 obstructed you're basically watching a video at the same size as your old 00:04:47.360 --> 00:04:52.160 iphone for you've got your video description or if 00:04:51.280 --> 00:04:57.280 the app was better optimized you know maybe your comments or something down here 00:04:55.440 --> 00:05:01.039 now that's curious my old fold doesn't actually have that same tablety layout 00:04:59.040 --> 00:05:05.280 when i'm not in full screen so that's pretty cool what i had really 00:05:03.840 --> 00:05:09.600 wanted to show you guys though was the gigantic notch i just wish samsung had done away with 00:05:08.240 --> 00:05:12.800 it entirely but this is way better and way less 00:05:11.600 --> 00:05:16.000 distracting than this let's see if i'm able to upload a story 00:05:15.600 --> 00:05:21.280 see look at that they are determined for me 00:05:19.120 --> 00:05:26.880 to not daily drive this device as far as i can tell no posts 00:05:24.560 --> 00:05:30.160 no stories all right most of what andy's telling me he wants to know about this 00:05:28.240 --> 00:05:33.440 is more like review territory you know battery life 00:05:31.360 --> 00:05:37.039 can you daily drive the outside screen i personally found that with my 00:05:34.960 --> 00:05:39.680 small hands small fingers i was able to do it on the old one so i'm actually 00:05:38.320 --> 00:05:43.680 expecting this to be a way better experience but there is 00:05:42.080 --> 00:05:46.639 something that i want to touch on here on ShortCircuit before we do the LTT 00:05:45.840 --> 00:05:51.520 video okay let's talk about the screen protector after this message from our 00:05:49.520 --> 00:05:54.720 sponsor private internet access private internet access keeps your 00:05:53.360 --> 00:05:58.800 internet access private it's a vpn so it does everything 00:05:56.720 --> 00:06:02.639 a vpn does and when it's part of your online security toolbox 00:06:00.319 --> 00:06:05.120 it'll help keep your identity private from the websites and services that 00:06:04.240 --> 00:06:09.520 you're using and even convince them that you're in a different country if you're trying to 00:06:08.080 --> 00:06:13.280 get around censorship or other reasons for geo-restricting 00:06:12.160 --> 00:06:20.000 access to content so go check them out at the link in the video description 00:06:16.720 --> 00:06:22.560 i didn't realize how much wider it was 00:06:20.000 --> 00:06:26.639 like it felt it felt really big in my hands and heavy and stuff but 00:06:24.160 --> 00:06:30.479 it is way wider than the original fold so anyway with the original fold there 00:06:28.400 --> 00:06:34.479 was a big hubbub around the supposed pre-installed screen protector 00:06:32.800 --> 00:06:39.039 that as it turned out was actually just part of the screen people removed them 00:06:36.160 --> 00:06:41.919 it caused a big big problem but with the z 00:06:39.360 --> 00:06:45.919 fold 2 there actually is an included screen protector and 00:06:43.120 --> 00:06:48.560 i gotta say just from the very short amount of time that i've spent with it 00:06:47.520 --> 00:06:52.720 so far i really don't like it now samsung 00:06:51.360 --> 00:06:57.039 apparently has a procedure well they will replace it for you once 00:06:54.639 --> 00:07:02.400 but i think the recommendation is to keep it on the problem is that 00:06:59.360 --> 00:07:05.199 the feel of the screen as i'm swiping is 00:07:02.400 --> 00:07:08.560 really sticky and initially i thought well maybe it's just because my fingers 00:07:06.800 --> 00:07:11.759 are greasy but it's there's a lot of resistance there like 00:07:10.319 --> 00:07:17.360 that's the one thing going from gen 1 to gen 2 that is 00:07:14.880 --> 00:07:21.280 immediately noticeably better about the original is that it doesn't have that 00:07:19.039 --> 00:07:27.199 screen protector on it so it seems both the front one and the inside one 00:07:24.400 --> 00:07:30.880 are removable i just the problem though is that guys this is not gorilla glass 00:07:29.120 --> 00:07:35.440 on the inside so you can't just you know scratch your keys on it and 00:07:33.039 --> 00:07:39.840 hope for the best like this thing will freaking scratch if you remove that 00:07:38.080 --> 00:07:43.520 screen protector it feels not very good though to be 00:07:42.080 --> 00:07:47.680 honest with you especially for like what is this two thousand dollars or something u.s for this thing 00:07:46.319 --> 00:07:51.199 like eighteen hundred dollars something like that you know what i think the 00:07:49.360 --> 00:07:56.319 optimal selfie camera configuration would be for this thing 00:07:52.560 --> 00:07:57.680 it's actually no selfie camera 00:07:56.319 --> 00:08:01.120 like why don't you just hold it like this and just 00:07:59.360 --> 00:08:04.000 see yourself in the preview up here and just take your picture with your rear 00:08:02.400 --> 00:08:07.440 shooter like the more you can use your best lens on the device 00:08:05.520 --> 00:08:11.199 the better in my opinion although if they do have to have a selfie camera 00:08:08.800 --> 00:08:14.960 here i'm relatively okay with that i just wish that there wasn't one ah see 00:08:14.240 --> 00:08:19.440 yeah chrome chrome hides it but let's find uh let's find something that doesn't hide yeah 00:08:18.240 --> 00:08:24.960 yuck man it is such a different experience 00:08:23.120 --> 00:08:28.960 i don't even have to like click a picture just like 00:08:26.800 --> 00:08:33.039 it's awesome yeah the camera bumps higher than last time andy but 00:08:30.720 --> 00:08:35.360 uh i don't know i mean maybe the rear camera is also better than last time i 00:08:34.880 --> 00:08:39.039 haven't obviously spent any time with it yet but 00:08:37.919 --> 00:08:43.200 so far on paper i'm really excited to check this thing 00:08:41.440 --> 00:08:46.640 out though it addresses my biggest complaints about the original galaxy 00:08:44.800 --> 00:08:50.399 fold and it even just it just feels better like listen listen 00:08:48.399 --> 00:08:55.440 to the sound whereas listen to this one 00:08:54.240 --> 00:08:59.120 okay that doesn't sound much better never mind well it felt better 00:08:58.000 --> 00:09:03.200 i'm gonna give it a shot though i'm gonna daily drive this at least two weeks before i write 00:09:01.839 --> 00:09:07.440 my review and then i'll either be switching to it finally 00:09:05.760 --> 00:09:11.279 finally something that could be an upgrade for me from my note 9 00:09:09.600 --> 00:09:15.040 or i'll just go back to the note 9. that's it for now make sure you're 00:09:12.640 --> 00:09:15.040 subscribed
