18
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:18,159
angular shining transformation

it has dual sim well that's nice that's an improvement

31
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:09,520
over the regular galaxy fold enough talk let's take a look at this

32
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:12,959
thing seen enough manuals in my day all right

33
00:02:11,920 --> 00:02:16,480
cool more documentation and this is it

34
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:23,840
that does actually look pretty darn

35
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:23,840
sharp

36
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:30,319
oh wow you can really hear the texture of the phone

37
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:36,400
just pulling the sticker off that color is surprisingly classy man

38
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:39,200
in the picture it looked more like uh

39
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:44,000
it looked more like tacky like a really yellowy gold

40
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:45,920
that is actually kind of classy

41
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:48,800
here's the real question that i had after after i tell you who the sponsor

42
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:54,239
is today private internet access is a vpn that allows you to access services and

43
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:57,920
websites as though you were in a different country it encrypts

44
00:02:55,920 --> 00:03:01,280
all of your traffic with a safe and protected ip

45
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:06,159
and you can connect up to five devices at once with clients for Windows

46
00:03:02,879 --> 00:03:08,879
macOS Linux Android and iOS

47
00:03:06,159 --> 00:03:12,640
so buy a one year plan for 39.95 and get three months for free

48
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:16,879
at the link in the video description 24 hour vip support

49
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:23,040
is that right samsung doesn't have that on the regular fold even though it's a 2

50
00:03:18,879 --> 00:03:23,040
000 phone whoa

51
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:29,519
wait wait wait

52
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:34,959
shut the front door what is this 24 hour you can call any like

53
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:35,840
thing uh get any pickup service for the

54
00:03:34,959 --> 00:03:43,120
airport what with the phone

55
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:46,640
what is this samsung has a vip lounge

56
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:49,280
no way so this is like got

57
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:52,319
travel benefits that come with your for the first year i would think or

58
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:55,599
something right one year no that's what that one year is

59
00:03:54,959 --> 00:04:03,920
for the just in case you break the screen so you have one year screen replacement

60
00:04:00,159 --> 00:04:07,760
and a bunch 24 24 hour support

61
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:10,480
and then like travel travel benefits

62
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:15,599
like faster security checkpoints and pick up for the airport anytime

63
00:04:12,959 --> 00:04:19,919
what the hell is going on how much did i pay for this thing

64
00:04:17,359 --> 00:04:24,080
got a super fast charger included you've got uh

65
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:25,199
some akg headphones included i'm not

66
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:28,560
gonna bother type c to c for charging data transfer

67
00:04:27,840 --> 00:04:33,520
or whatever of course what i had actually wanted to know and the reason i ordered this thing

68
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:37,759
in the first place all the way from china was whether the dimensions were actually

69
00:04:37,199 --> 00:04:44,320
any different from the regular z-fold 2.

70
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:48,720
and there were rumors that it was taller but it seems like

71
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:52,240
that was a big load of horseplot because

72
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:54,639
it is clearly exactly the same phone

73
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:59,280
and seeing them side by side dang i take the gold one i take the

74
00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:01,280
shiny like that's so boring

75
00:04:59,280 --> 00:05:06,240
it does look really nice the front too like this is too plain now

76
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:08,160
over 3 000 us dollars i paid for this

77
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:12,320
thing you people better watch this video twice

78
00:05:09,280 --> 00:05:12,720
yeah so there's the one difference dual

79
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:16,560
sim versus single sim for the original fold

80
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:21,759
and this like travel chinese travel edition one

81
00:05:19,919 --> 00:05:24,560
i'm disappointed it didn't get microsd but i guess the rationale is pretty

82
00:05:23,280 --> 00:05:28,320
simple if you can afford this like golden general phone

83
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:33,360
then there's only one sku the 512 gig one and

84
00:05:31,199 --> 00:05:40,320
if you got 512 gigs you don't need no stinking microsd card

85
00:05:36,840 --> 00:05:42,960
oh whoa look at this

86
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:45,759
oh there it is i wonder if they've made any revisions to like the folding

87
00:05:44,479 --> 00:05:51,520
mechanism or anything it's hard to tell because this one's also brand new but it does seem like it

88
00:05:49,199 --> 00:05:55,440
might be a bit stiffer yeah it feels stiffer but this one's

89
00:05:54,720 --> 00:06:00,160
quite used now just like the regular z-fold 2

90
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:04,160
fingerprint scanners on the right actually like this it's really fast to

91
00:06:01,919 --> 00:06:12,560
use that's pretty sick desktop wallpaper

92
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:14,800
oh my god it has so much

93
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:18,160
junk pre-installed on it i mean then again it's only

94
00:06:15,919 --> 00:06:22,080
junk because i don't recognize it i guess all the google stuff that comes

95
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:24,479
okay no it's junk it's there's tick tock on here

96
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:29,680
the heart of the world yeah uh okay

97
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:31,919
well i want to go to the heart of the world

98
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:41,520
yes the server's pretty far away man i love that 120 hertz display man

99
00:06:38,319 --> 00:06:43,199
very slow animation i hate

100
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:48,000
that that might be something that you can reconfigure though

101
00:06:45,039 --> 00:06:51,919
see that just like a really different animation style

102
00:06:49,599 --> 00:06:54,400
oh no that time it came down fast did they not have Android auto in china or

103
00:06:53,360 --> 00:07:00,240
something i kind of want to try and daily drive this thing there just might be

104
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:02,639
like little deal breakers like that let's see

105
00:07:01,280 --> 00:07:06,400
oh shoot there's still stuff that's coming up in chinese it's actually

106
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:10,720
slightly different hardware so that might be a problem well given

107
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:15,360
that i guess it's not the best three thousand dollars i ever spent for

108
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:18,560
a different color of a phone that i already own and that is in perfect

109
00:07:17,039 --> 00:07:22,479
working condition but definitely looks sweet and if i needed

110
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:26,319
all those like you know special travel services or

111
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:29,520
whatever then i mean i guess it would depend how much

112
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:32,720
those services cost just separate from a phone thanks samsung for

113
00:07:31,599 --> 00:07:36,400
