I expected better… – Samsung Galaxy Fold 4

49 Comments

1. The Fold 4's improvements over the Fold 3 are a lot less obvious than prior generations, but I still think that taken as a whole it's mostly a significant improvement in the right direction. Unlike many others, I don't think radical design changes were/are a good idea at this point in the foldable phone development lifecycle. I think Samsung has mostly nailed all the core aspects, and changing what isn't broken "just so it's different" is fucking stupid. 🤷

   This is also why I'm REALLY upset that the upcoming Fold 6 is supposed to move to a much wider front display, and thus make the inner tablet display basically a OnePlus Open style SQUARE aspect ratio. (Which I EXTREMELY dislike, as modern mobile apps are designed either for scrolling vertical feeds in portrait OR watching natively widescreen media in landscape, both of which absolutely SUCK with a properly square shaped display.)

2. Hot Take: Under screen fingerprint sensor is better

3. Verbal diarrhoea 😂

4. 1. The vibrance difference is because the ZF4 is set to "Vivid" and the ZF3 is set to "Natural". It's in the settings.
   2. The shutter button is a feature called "floating shutter button". It's a setting in the camera app for better accessibility.
   3. You can't use the ultrawide or the 3x optical in the 3:4 50mp mode. You have to press it and choose the regular 3:4 mode to gain access to the rest of the lenses.

   Aaaauughhh 😭😭😭

5. This phone sucks. Mine broke down and has a black line right down the middle and i never dropped it. Contacted samsung and they said the screen is not covered under warranty. Stay away from Samsung

6. I find it interesting that Linus complained about the underscreen sensor never had any issues myself.

7. 11:43 – that's what she said

8. 2:59 – Spoileralert: its not better… Using it since 10 months and it also smiles… -.-' Tints and dust came into the small gap at the hinge's cover I guess. These phones are not made for jeans-pockets or using them without a really great-designed cover, which also covers the hinge in some way.

9. At some point will you comment on the screens and hinges that fail the Z FOLD 4 and FLIP 4?

10. We expected better from you

11. Ngl
    I'd absolutely buy a phone that was just as big as the folded version
    Just a nice thin phone easy to store and use one handed

12. I have had my S7+ for 3 days and https://www.youtube.com/post/UgkxLNmVocUk8tnSkwWIlYSNFzWRIaFTBuzS I am pleased with its ability. Right out of the box it was easy to set up and I was able to download my material from an early Samsung device. As a high school teacher, I wanted something that was lightweight and able to move around the room with me comfortably. All of the apps I use for school were able to be loaded. The sound is good, the picture is crystal clear.I am waiting for a case and keyboard to arrive. My only concern is the Pens' ability to stay on the magnetic. So far not so good. The use of the pen is great and it holds a charge well. Download the manual. It helps you learn all the things you can set up on the device. I have just started to explore this.Looking for a tablet that is larger than normal? Want touch ability and use of a pen? Want to be able to download your apps and enjoy a device that lasts on its charge? This device is for you. I am sure the tech geeks can talk about problems but so far for me it meets and exceeds my expectations. I am glad I bought this.

13. Just wait for him to see the fold 5

14. is linus gonna do a fold 5 review anytime soon?

15. idk where you got it but mine doesn't have the gap when I close it it just looks like 2 phones next to each other

16. He must be really disappointed with the 5

17. Yeah this phone's a total rip off

18. Hi, Is Linus still using the fold 4 upto date? any review?

19. When u doing pixel fold

20. most reviewers including this dude is an apple fan.. keep searching. there are a few who would give you a fair statement, b not him..

21. Muppet

22. Why does it feel like it was dbrand's idea to call their products "expensive tape" at 6:20

23. Man stop hatin 😂😂

24. I love mine and kept very good care of it, always in a Samsung case, screen protector on outer screen, always opened and closed carefully. Then after 6 months the inner screen cracked down the middle when I opened it normally one day. In the few days since then I've found hundreds of other reports of the same. Mine's back with Samsung now, and I'm waiting to see if they honour the warranty.

25. There isnt an easy transfer option for all your data from the Fold 3 to the Fold 4? That can't be right especially once google is signed into it,

26. I will say switching from the s10 to the s23 the fingerprint reader is incredible.

27. I'm onto my third fold four already

28. i heard alot of negative stuff with the phone

29. I am a Samsung owner, waiting for them to get the fold better. Needs the iPhone like cameras and the s23 pen and stuff. Why does your wife drive the s23? I appreciate that you use the device daily and can give a good user review. I am 60 and the fold screen would be sooo much better for viewing. Thanks for your help

30. Blah blah blah. Phone is great. You probably use an iPhone lmao

31. I've had the fold 2 for 2.5yrs. There is not much of a difference. The only thing I can see is the camera on the big screen can disappear.

32. yea the camera is shit on the F4 😂 but rarely do I ever take pictures so it doesn't matter. ppl who paid 1800 for it RIPBOZO . I got mine for 800 even cheaper than what I paid for my note 20ultra

33. I just ditched my fold4..
    Extremely disappointed, it's a good concept but a terrible phone…
    ..the final issue is the inner screen just stoped working for reason/black screen of death……

34. I think you really hate Samsung phone. 😂 so negative about it.

35. Z fold 3 die it self … no audio ffs

36. Cant get over his small chubby hands 😅

37. loving mine so far. I suggest get the case and front screen protector for it, make sure the case covers the hinge.

38. Will never understand the brains of people who don't use cases with their phones.

39. How do you guys carry a Fold around? Jeans pocket?

40. I have one since 7 months and it's a fantastic phone. I use it heavily too.

    I suppose that if your dog could walk on water, you would complain that it can't swim.

41. Very old and you won't read this buuuutttt… For anyone else reading and has issues with you under screen fp reader, go to setting and add a new finger but rescan the one you normally use. Do this 3-4 times and it'll then unlock flawlessly every time from then on.

42. I got the fold 3 about a month ago. I love it so far other than screen protector issue. I could have went straight to the 4 for about $1200, but I got the 3 for $600 and figured the small upgrades weren't worth double the price!

43. I'm really looking forward to Linus' review of ZF5. Especially after a couple months of use.

44. 10:43 the issue with the two capture buttons.. it's not a bug, it's a feature! Literaly! one of them is the default capture button. when you try to tap and move the default one, there will appear a second one to place it where ever suits you. if you move it back to the default one, it will vanish again!

45. You got that right for the money they charge we should get charger fast cable case

46. Dont buy Fold Z 4. Terrible device. Prone to screen issues. Samsung will not stand behind the device. So disappointed.

47. $1800 and only one cable! WTF!

48. I get plenty of use out of it? Anybody doesn't know how to use this phone should not handle the electronics at all

49. 《PhoneArena》報導，這些有關Galaxy Z Fold 3 手機螢幕的問題大多都是使用一年半的時間，而且都是內側螢幕損壞。 當然也部分案例裡，手機沒有任何掉落、也沒有被撞擊，螢幕也沒有破碎。 但《PhoneArena》報導也以黑體字強調，遇到問題的美國使用者可以寫信向三星執行長投訴或發起集體訴訟。
