With all the great options Android offers, I'm wondering why he chose a folding one that obviously comes with alot of caveats.
11K |
From a neutral POV, the S23 ultra or Pixel 7 pro were more suitable for comparison, mostly because I feel like the video seemed to lean more towards highlighting the disadvantages of a foldable phone, not really those of android. Maybe I'm wrong...

most of the issues you mentioned are either an issue with apple being apple and the fact that a feature (folding the phone) can also have downsides. There are of course tradeoffs but the fact that you're scrolling more because the screen is too little (7:50) is optional, you don't have to fold it to display content, if you want you could not fold it and set it against a stand just like the iphone.

As you stated, I think the transfer problem was because you went from an Apple to an Android. When I transferred from my Galaxy S10 to my S22 Ultra I had none of the issues you had. The transfer had only a few hiccups, usually due to older apps. But, the other issues, especially the Apple ecosystem, can never be matched with an Apple/Andriod interface. Apple to Apple will always win. For obvious reasons.

To be fair, Samsung's Smart Switch app works fairly well when switching from another Android phone (even from a non-Samsung one). I know from experience that switching from Android to iOS is a very difficult and buggy process (as I've had to help a friend do this), so it doesn't surprise me that the other way around is also problematic.

I like how all his negatives about the z flip can be fixed by switching to the s23 Ultra or even z fold 5

Oddly. I've found my fold 5 has been a great swap from my 14 pro ... The large screen inside and the good sized outer. Perfect. Just worked.

Lifetime apple user. Made the switch and have stayed despite the shortcomings discussed, many of which I agree with. Apple is wielding too much control. Lost me when they removed the sim tray -a total power move. Love the flip 4. Compelling design that i like more and more every day. .

I do always wonder why so many tech-tubers glaze over and ignore Apples anti-competition practices. Locking you in to an ecosystem is the opposite of what technology should be doing for us as users, but the review community shrug their collective shoulders and say 'apple be apple'

Android does have an AirDrop equivalent now and it's called Nearby Share. I am surprised you never found out about it considering it's right there in the share sheet in this video at 11:23. However, unlike Windows you will need a third party app on Mac called NearDrop to use Nearby Share because Apple does not like to work with industry standards.
It's funny that the very reason you cited for staying with the iPhone (the ecosystem) is why I will probably never move over to the iPhone or even the Mac. I really like that Android and Windows work really well with each other and even try to work with MacOS and iOS as best as they can. The only reason they don't work as well with the Apple platforms is because of Apple themselves. Case in point - Windows does allow you to take phone calls from your iPhone or Android phone on your PC using the Phone Link app. Apple only allows this for iPhones because they don't care about you if you use an Android phone. I prefer using platforms and devices that don't have that level of elitism about themselves and just focus on the consumer regardless of which other devices they have.

im personally glad i took the plunge on the flip 5. im in love with how easily it slides in my pockets and i dont have to worry about it falling out. i never wanna go back to using a regular slab.

By the way, you can use One Hand Operation+ in Good Lock to bring brightness adjustment and other controls to the side of the Galaxy phone, which you can access with a swipe from either edge.

I switched from using Android for over a decade to iPhone 13 pro max last year. I spent 6 months with iPhone before switching to s23 Ultra. I see the appeal of iPhone but i find Android integration and configuration options to be superior.
I'd love to try a folding phone but i don't want to be stuck with it for 2 years.

This is really great. Good info, lots of it, and you talk fast but i like it because i don't get bored/have to switch ahead to find the good parts. Keep up the good work!

I believe there's a setting to move the brightness slider, but there's an easier way to bring down the notifications. Swipe down anywhere on your screen. No need to remember which half of the status bar to swipe from. The face unlock is NOT from Samsung. It's the default Android face unlock. The Galaxy S8 line was the last Samsung to have the IR face unlock. I wish they still had it, but I also like not having a notch in my screen. Honestly, the captured audio from the closed mode sounds better to me. The flipped open audio sounds compressed, but I do like the color saturation more from the inside camera. The outside camera looks washed out. Even in the yoga photo, the inside camera photo would be the one I'd keep despite being a bit less sharp. What I'd like is a case with a nub to help with one handed opening. I know I'll get a folding phone, but I'm going to wait a few more generations. The Fold is currently more appealing than the Flip.

I liked the comparison, but would think the S23 ultra would be a better phone to compare. You're making hardware compromises when going with a foldable device. Especially in camera. I would love to see this redone with a flagship non foldable device.

Apple makes it intentionally hard for people to switch to Android. You get trapped in the ecosystem and it prevents you from switching ๐คท๐ฟโโ๏ธ

just switched over from an iPhone 14 Pro to a Z Flip 5. i have some of the same gripes in this video, but i am having a 98% positive experience with the switch. the battery life and camera quality difference are my #1 concerns and are what i hope Samsung can rectify going forward. if i could get S23 quality photos on this and a little more screen-on time, i'd probably never own an iPhone again. only other gripe is that videos and voice memos get way over-distorted in loud scenarios (i'm a musician so i take a lot of videos at shows).
