Hi everyone Aaron here for Zollotech and we're going to unbox the Samsung
z-fold 2 5g we'll unbox it set it up and take a first look at it
and this particular phone comes in at 2 000
it's the most expensive phone i've ever purchased and it comes in two different
colors you've got mystic bronze and this one mystic black so let's go
ahead and take a look at it so i've been looking forward to this
phone for quite some time because i've never tried
a folding phone that actually goes from smaller to bigger
so let's go ahead and open it up i've got my unboxing
tool here let's go ahead and slice that
and there we go and like i said this one is in mystic black so
it's a little bit different than what i've seen i actually haven't seen one of
these in person either so it unfolds like that it says
change the shape of the future introducing the galaxy z
fold to 5g reimagine the possibilities of the smartphone experience
unlock endless versatility and enjoy unrivaled engineering and craftsmanship
welcome to the new mobile era okay let's see if
what we've gotten here so of course there's the phone we'll look at that in
a moment let's open this up our little
documentation or pamphlet here so we have a separate piece with just a
sim card removal tool we've got a quick start or quick
reference guide and then get the most out of your phone
so let's go ahead and remove the phone see what's underneath
so it's a pretty good size let's see what we've got here
we've got the galaxy z premier service and then underneath we've got a charger
it's usbc and we get a cable with it so it looks
like it opens like this and we've got a cable
it should be usb c to usbc and it is it's a black usb c to usbc
cable and that is all we get in this box so no headphones or anything like that
there's no additional tools to help us move our phone from one to the other
so let me set the box aside now this is the phone itself and it says care
instructions it says do not press on the screen or the front camera lens with
hard or sharp objects such as a pen or fingernail when
folding the device make sure there is no objects in the way such as cards coins
or keys the device is not dust or waterproof
says exposure to liquid or small particles such as water
coffee or sand may cause product damage such as scratches or dents on the screen
do not remove the screen protector film and do not install other films or
stickers as doing so may cause product damage
your device contains magnets keep a safe distance between your device and objects
that may be affected by them and then there's the back of it so let's
go ahead and remove this cover here
so we'll move that out of the way and here's the device itself
and so you can see a crease down the center of it
although i'm not sure that will be a pain unless i'm using it
and then on the outside of course we have the phone in this mystic black
color now for a size comparison before we look at it a little bit further
here is a note 25 g or note 20 ultra 5g rather
so this gives you a little bit of an idea it's a little bit shorter
from top to bottom but obviously it's definitely wider
from width-wise and then thickness-wise when it's unfolded the
z-fold 2 looks a little bit thinner and then weight-wise also there's a
little bit of a difference so the weight of the z-fold 2 is 282 grams or 9.95
ounces and the note 20 ultra is 208 grams
now if you're coming from the iphone world the iphone is 226 grams or 7.97
ounces and that's the 11 pro max so you can see the size comparison next to it
and then one more size comparison next to the
microsoft duo so here's the duo and this will give you an idea of its
actual size so the duo is much wider but of course it's
got two split screens so even if we rotate it this way
you can kind of see the difference here between the two devices
so let's go ahead and take a closer look at the z-fold 2.
so let me go ahead and fold it and it is fairly thick but it feels very premium
now they do offer a different color option
you can have this hinge here customized in a color
and then let's take a look around the outside edge so on the outside of course
you have that display we'll talk about the displays in a moment on the right
hand side you've got your power button slash fingerprint reader
and then above that you have your volume rocker
on the top of the phone you have what looks like a microphone
as well as a speaker and then on the bottom of the phone
you've got your usbc charge port next to a microphone as well as another speaker
and so there's nothing else around the outside of the phone
other than down at the very bottom right you have your sim card tray
now let's go ahead and pop that out and take a closer look at it
so we'll pop out the sim card tray and it should support
one sim card and then it has an e sim there is no upgradable storage in this
option so internally this has 256 gigabytes of
non-expandable storage some areas may be able to get 512 gigabytes but not at
least here in the united states yet now this outside display is a
6.2 inch display measured diagonally so it's very tall
and it's an hd plus super amoled display it's 2260 by 816 pixels
with 386 pixels per inch it runs at 60 hertz
and then at the top of the display we have a forward-facing camera
that's 10 megapixels it's a selfie camera with an f 2.2 aperture
with an 80 degree field of view and it's the same camera that we get on the
display inside as well it's the same exact 10 megapixel camera
they've just put one in each location now the internal display let's go ahead
and turn it on
we'll boot it up hopefully it's got a charge there we go it's booting up
now this internal display measured diagonally is 7.6 inches
and it's a qx ga dynamic amoled 2x it's 2208 by 1768 with 373
pixels per inch supports hdr 10 plus and is 120 hertz
now before we set this up let's talk about the rear facing camera
so we have a three camera array very similar to what we have on the note 20
ultra although it's smaller the camera bump is a little bit smaller there
so you can see it's a little different a little smaller
i kind of like the note one better but either way it's a camera bump
and it has three cameras in it the top camera is a 12 megapixel ultra wide with
an f 2.2 aperture with a 123 degree field of view
below that is a 12 megapixel wide angle with
optical image stabilization and it has an
f 1.8 aperture with dual pixel autofocus and an 83 degree
field of view and then on the bottom we have a 12 megapixel telephoto again with
optical image stabilization and an f 2.4 aperture we also can record in 4k 60
with these cameras so it should be pretty good
now internally it's running a qualcomm snapdragon 865 plus with an adreno 650
gpu and 12 gigabytes of ram so it should be
nice and fast and then also the battery is 4500
milliamp hours split from side to side so they're sharing it it supports fast
wireless charging and fast charging and it also has
wireless power share it supports 5g sub 6 and millimeter wave
has 802.11 a b g n ac and ax wi-fi so wi-fi six as well as bluetooth
5.0 ultra wide band and it runs android 10.
so let's go ahead and set it up so we'll hit let's go
it says terms and conditions privacy policy
we'll hit next some of it's optional now it's checking for updates now that we're
connected to wi-fi so we'll wait for that
now that it's checked for an update it didn't find anything initially
saying do you want to copy apps and data now i did decide to bring over data from
one phone to another so i thought i'd try that so let's go ahead
and set up i guess fingerprints here and we've got the fingerprint reader on
the side so i guess we'll put my finger here
there we go i added my fingerprint i'll go ahead and hit next
and it says adding finishing touches now that everything with my fingerprints set
up it wants me to sign into my samsung account now it says all done i'll hit
next and it says before you get started it's
rewarning me about not pressing on the screen wrong
we'll hit done and also all of my data has been copied as well so i'll go ahead
ahead and unplug this so this is the home screen of the z-fold
2. so you've got your standard apps installed such as google
you also have microsoft and here are the standard apps facebook let's see if we
can remove it we can uninstall that if we'd like and
that's it so this is all of the standard pre-installed apps of course it's going
to install more since i brought a bunch over
but you get the idea that's pretty nice and then also if we close this
on the outside we now have this display and this is actually kind
of interesting like a candy bar display unlock it and we're at the home screen
so again we have a customizable screen here and then one
inside of course we've got the camera as well
so we go to the camera and then let's see what we've got photos
it says done copying and so for photos let's go to our
settings and see what we've got so if we scroll down you can see rear
video size front video size so front video
resolution wise we have 3840 by 2160 up to 60 frames per
second and then also rear we should have the
same so again we have uhd or ultra hd so if you
want to capture 4k video with video stabilization auto hdr
grid lines and more and so if we go back here
flip it around takes a second and now you can see me on the display
so it looks okay it's definitely doing some face smoothing let's open
it up here see what we've got
and just from setup the phone is getting quite warm on the back here so
it's getting quite warm i'm sure that's fine with setup
but you can see here's one of the sort of layouts you can do
it's kind of interesting take a photo like this
scroll through go home and then let's go to youtube and so
here's my note 20 ultra 5g unboxing if i rotate it
this way it rotates to the center it says this
app is using full screen can swipe up to go back and honestly you
don't really see the crease too much when you're using it so that looks okay
let me turn it up to hear the speakers
later in the video now this samsung note 20 ultra 5g it's sort of a handful of a
word comes in at 1 nine dollars
with 128 gigabytes of storage so that looks pretty nice the speakers sound
decent they are stereo speakers this the display does have a little bit
of a ripple there let's add the weather information
so watching youtube videos on this should be pretty good with stereo
speakers let's take a look at some of the settings here we'll go ahead and
go to our settings scroll down see if we have a software update
see if we have anything even though it said we didn't before
and we do have a software update so i'll install that a little bit later
so under the software information it says it's running one ui version 2.5
and android 10 and then this particular device
should be interesting to use i've never used a phone that gets bigger into a
tablet and you can see here some of the other
apps that installed for me and it should be really interesting to
use using the outside screen seems like it'd be pretty reasonable
if we go home you'll see it's nice and fast
and also let's take a look at those screen refresh rate options
so let's go into settings here under display
you can see the brightness is quite low right now it goes very bright
turn it down and then it has motion smoothness adaptive
and then let's see what we've got here so it's the adaptive 120 hertz display
and it runs in full resolution so we don't lose resolution like we do on the
note 20 ultra so you've got standard where it'll slow
down to 60 hertz to give you better battery life
but that's really it so i'll be using this phone for a little while
and i'd love to hear what you think about folding phones in the comments
below i think they're pretty interesting we're early on
and i like that there's innovation with things like the surface duo with really
solid hardware and new attempts at different sort of form factors
the z-flip is interesting i know some people really like that but let me know
your thoughts about it in the comments below
if you'd like to get your hands on this wallpaper of course i'll link that in
the description as well and if you haven't subscribed already
