my weekly amazon gift card drawing okay on paper this phone is jacked just like my baby son bennett
exclusive interview with bennett later in this video it's got a 6.2 hd plus super amoled display
on the cover with a resolution of 2260 by 816 pixels with a density of 386 pixels per inch bro
huh that's some sick pixel density bro thanks bro yeah no problem for the main screen a qxga plus
dynamic amoled 2x display with a 120 hertz refresh rate at 2208 by 1768 pixels with a density of 373
pixels per inch overall the dimensions closed is 6.2 inches by 2.6 inches by 0.66 inches thick
overall the dimensions open are 6.2 inches by 5 inches by 0.27 inches thick it's got 5g snapdragon
865 a 64-bit octa-core processor with speeds over 3 gigahertz got 12 gigs of ram up to 512 gigabytes
of built-in storage the 512 gigabytes is in select markets a micro sd slot for expandable storage
and a fingerprint scanner this phone weighs in at 9.9 ounces a 10 megapixel selfie camera on the
cover screen hashtag never do that again bennett a 10 megapixel selfie camera on the internal screen
and a 12 megapixel ultra wide wide and telephoto camera on the back the cover screen is reinforced
with polished corning gorilla glass victus the most durable glass available on a galaxy phone
it's got two batteries that collectively add up to 4 500 milliamps the phone body comes in mystic
bronze and mystic black the hinge comes in five different colors metallic black silver gold i love
gold and red and blue alright the top five pros the screen hinge has been upgraded and
feels very sturdy in your hands yet it also feels very smooth and holds the position at
nearly every angle you put it in number two pro is app continuity the cover screen and internal
screen remain in constant sync with each other and the transition between the two was very seamless
and smooth number three is screen quality and refresh this large beautiful screen will make
everyone around you drool the 120 hertz display makes all the animation feel extremely smooth
and nice i also love how it knows when to switch between the lower refresh rate and
the 120 hertz to save on battery number four is camera quality this phone has five cameras
three on the back one on the cover screen and one on the internal screen it's honestly not the best
smartphone camera there is out there but it's definitely a major step up from the last version
number five multi-app functionality being able to use several apps and windows simultaneously
and dragging and dropping between them proved to be very responsive and extremely easy to use
and the top five cons number one it's expensive the best deal you can get
on this phone is up to a 1 000 discount with top dollar trade-ins and it must be in great condition
otherwise you're spending over two thousand dollars for this device the number two con
it's not waterproof because this phone is so expensive it is a little nerve-racking that some
water can completely ruin the device most premium smartphones on the market right now are waterproof
so if you're gonna get this phone i highly recommend you get samsung plus for some peace of
mind it's only 12 a month and covers an additional warranty and even accidental damage the number
three con app support only about 25 percent of the apps can even utilize this massive screen so
many of them just look like a blown up phone mode version that doesn't use the screen entirely one
of the apps that does a bad job is instagram apps that do a great job are gmail and spotify youtube
also looks great as well the number four con is it smudges and fingerprints very easily you're
definitely going to want to get a case to protect this large investment and to keep it looking fresh
there's a link in the description for some of my favorites the number five con is bulk as you
can expect when folded down it does feel like you're putting a thick brick in your pocket bro
is that a thick brick in your pocket or did you get a new phone okay so getting into the design
the materials feel very solid the hinge feels great it did feel a little weird in my hand but
it definitely grew on me texting felt surprisingly great on this phone especially in landscape mode
if you're someone that likes to have a phone and a tablet you're gonna really love this phone i love
the fact that they've removed the notch completely and now it's just a little pinhole for the camera
on the internal screen functionality it took less than a second for every app to open up and i just
loved the app groupings everything works fast and smooth it took me some getting used to but i found
creating my own app groups for simultaneous use was very helpful for productivity and multitasking
the face recognition works very well and was extremely easy to set up the fingerprint scanner
was also pretty easy to set up but it didn't work very consistently i just love this side panel and
being able to select my different group pairings this button in the center if you drag to the
center you can drop it in for a little pop-up you can move that around and then you can even set the
opacity of that window i love being able to flip it like this i can watch a video scroll through
the comments search the web and take notes all at the same time alright cameras and microphone
quality you can see zoomed in here at 10x that the quality of the photos on the 12 megapixel camera
holds up pretty nice here's a zoomed in sample of the video with the sound recorded from the
device's microphone this is what it looks and sounds like on the z-fold the quality looks a
little bit sharper at least on the screen it does this is the video and sound quality on the z-fold
2 selfie camera here's a shot using the ultra wide angle the wide angle and the telephoto now if we
magnify 5x you can see that the quality still holds up pretty well on this tire and on the
grass here's a 4k video shot with the main camera and here's what it looks like at 5x
i love when you flip it in this mode at the same time you can review the photo you last took
i also love this button right here where you turn that on and you can actually see on the other
side what the photos gonna look like and this is the quality of the photo with the selfie camera
wow you can see in hd every single part of my patchy beard that's pretty cool
the display quality was pretty nice in here you can manually turn on whether you want the high
refresh rate or not i'm just gonna leave it to adaptive because i think that it probably does
a better job than i do determining that overall the speaker quality sounded great
and tested at 94.9 decibels at maximum volume how many decibels is this daddy how many decibels is
uh bennett the location of these speakers is perfect it's just above your hands when
you're holding it in landscape mode alright so the battery i did a test streaming 1080p video
on youtube non-stop and the battery lasted for 12 hours using the fast charger it took
about an hour and 15 minutes to recharge so i tested the wireless charging by putting my
iphone on the back of this device first off you have to swipe down from the main screen
and turn on wireless powershare when i flipped it over it took me a while to figure it out because i
actually have to put the phone that i'm charging partially up against the cameras in order for it
to read it based on the location of where the battery is games on this device look absolutely
amazing on this ammo led display at 120 hertz refresh rate the gameplay feels extremely smooth
i ran a geekbench benchmark test and it got a 959 single core score and a 3319
multi-core score which as you can see against some of the other smartphones is pretty good
i also ran a 3dmark slingshot extreme benchmark test and got a score of 7744 durability all right
here we have some keys let's see how the phone's built in screen protector responds
all right so just the typical rubbing of the keys the phone holds up pretty well
here we also did a knife test using a butter knife to also test its basic scratch ability
nice you can see with the basic normal pressure it holds up pretty well
even in regular phone mode this feels and looks really good i found myself throughout the day
not even flipping into tablet mode because the cover phone works so well what do you think
about this phone benny boo um i like that it folds just like a dirty diaper uh okay is that
it um i just love how much time you spend on it instead of playing with me uh okay uh what about
you tiny bro you're not gonna smack me are you no of course not i like that this phone is life-sized
well it's not exactly life-size it's life size overall guys i think this is an absolutely great
smartphone slash tablet if you're in the market for both a smartphone and a tablet
i highly recommend this but two thousand dollars is a lot of money do i think it's worth it yeah
it's definitely worth it guys please make sure to like and subscribe to be entered in to win
