Welcome! So in front of me is a Simpson Galaxy fold and today I'll go over
0:11
quick unboxing along with a brief overview of the device. So as you can see this is a
0:17
box that comes in and inside of that box you have another box. So there we go. Then inside of
0:28
that box you got another box. so let's just set that all the way to this side so I don't knock it off and in here we have oh
0:38
oh it almost fell out so I will say right of the bat the device was already set up so it's not
0:45
necessarily the full experience of unboxing but when you pop it open you will have a cardboard
0:52
and this kind of comes up along with the device so it has a separate box for the phone
1:00
and in here you have accessories, but... So as you can see, there's a phone
1:08
Now, like I said, it was already unpacked before, so it's missing all that foil around it and stuff like that, but..
1:16
There we'll just set it aside and probably already made it all smudgy and stuff
1:25
because I just touched it, and it's a fingerprint magnet. So, just close it
1:29
So just close this, set it on the side, there's nothing inside of there. And in here, we have some Galaxy Fold in your surveys forever
1:37
Then you have a booklet. And while I'm opening that, I will actually show you something
1:43
But I found really interesting considering Samsung doesn't really include those normally
1:49
but I guess the foldable ones they do. So paperwork, no one really cares
1:55
There we go. That's something that we care about. So you have this case and it's a really nice looking case
2:07
I assume it's carbon fiber, considering you pay close to 2000, or not close but exactly 2,000 for the device so it would be nice if they did include it
2:19
Now I'm going to quickly slap it on here although keep in mind to get it fully on
2:24
you have these sticky parts right here and you want to peel that off and then
2:28
put it on. I'm just going to be doing that without peeling it off so you just get a
2:34
look on look of how it looks like with this being on here. So you have something like this
2:43
looks fairly nice I'd say closed. So I just set up the side for now and do it up this
2:52
and then inside of here we got a couple additional items like
2:58
the AKG headphones, those are the earbuds that Samsung makes, so they're fairly good
3:06
I don't believe they have noise cancelling unfortunately, so that's kind of sad, but then you can't really complain about getting a wireless earbuds that are well good
3:18
So let just let that back in here, then you get a 15 watt charger, so that's nothing really
3:24
special, basically mediocre. You also get a this so that's a USB C to USB a plug if I could get it there we go the light in
3:35
there so we can plug stuff into it USB based storages and stuff like that
3:43
just a nice out-all not every device includes that I mean at every Samsung
3:47
device majority of the other companies don't even bother giving you something
3:51
like that so that's nice and then in here we have ear tips
3:58
for the buds and then just a plain old cable so now that we got all the content of the
4:04
box out of the way just pile that up and move it out of the way on the ground
4:09
and from here we got the device itself so now we'll actually take off the case
4:20
so can get a good look of how the device actually looks like without the case
4:26
on there There we go
4:40
So hopefully it's in focus. So the device was released in September 2019, so not too long ago
4:50
And it cost roughly around $2,000. So from there, I'm going to base my opinion about the phone itself
4:58
the price and what you get for it. And also comparing it to a couple other foldable options that I also have
5:08
experienced, for instance, like the Bugs that I will be doing right after this the Motorola razor
5:15
So, I spoil, it's not very good. So from here, as you can see this is the main display and it's inside. It folds also inside as you can see
5:26
So it is protected when you click. close it with this smallish gap as you can see right here
5:35
So it doesn't fold fully flat and there's still crease that stuff can get it into
5:44
Now the main display is a 7.3 inch display with a resolution of 1536 by 2152 and that is
5:54
362 pixels per inch so nothing really super high. but in my opinion the display is super crystal clear. I don't really see pixels on it
6:05
So to me the resolution doesn't really matter that much. And body to screen ratio on the inside is a 50, or what I'm missing 50
6:14
85.7%. So that's because you have these kind of hefty puzzles right here all around and the camera cut out right here
6:24
and as you can see in there you have the sensors along with two different
6:28
cameras. So while we're on the camera topic right here, so these two cameras are
6:34
10 and 8 megapixel both white sensors. The 8 megapixel one basically is a
6:41
depth sensor in a way. And they're nothing really special. They shoot at the
6:48
1080p videos. I'm probably at let's see if we can get it to..
6:54
Where is it? Flip it over. that and let's go into these settings rear front there we go so we can shoot
7:09
looks like 4k but everything is left to 30 frames so you don get the ability to go to 60 kind of a shame but then if we like to flip it over let me just go back So when we flip back you actually are able to shoot at
7:31
1080p 60. You can also shoot at 4k 30. And you have actually three sensors, so if I
7:41
just lock it for now, let me close this because the plastic and
7:45
side is not very durable material there. So you can see that we have two different
7:51
cameras right here, or two three different cameras. So the main sensor is a 12
7:57
megapixel wide, then you have 12 megapixel telephoto and 16 megapixel ultra wide
8:02
And I will right of the bat say that these are not the best sensors I have
8:10
seen on Samsung devices especially released in this year. I think I would compare it
8:15
something close to like S8 or even lower so they don't blow you out of the water
8:25
with the quality of the photos. It's just kind of a shame. The device itself has like
8:32
six cameras I think all around and nothing really on here with those cameras does
8:39
anything special I would say. I do have a little prop right here as you can see
8:45
So we have a shark with the hat and a sword for some reason
8:53
Let me just put it up on something. What can I put it on
9:03
Let me just use this. Very good box. So I'm going to capture a photo with this
9:11
As I can already see on the camera you have fairly dark under there
9:28
So as you can see the photo came out fairly nice but I wouldn't say it's amazing
9:41
does when you blast it with light, when you have a little bit more drastic lighting that
9:48
it will probably struggle with. So I'm trying to kind of show of more like an HDR environment
9:59
where it would need to balance the sunlight. There's some AI stuff
10:11
Now I'm not going into all that, all the stuff with doing it manually and stuff like that
10:19
I just want to show how it does by default. So as you can see, the photo seems a little bit darkish below
10:29
Losing detail, I would say. That still actually came out a little bit better
10:41
But honestly, if you start making photos without like perfect lighting, I'd say, from experience
10:48
as they're just messing around with the camera. And it wasn't taking the brightest, or not even brightest, I meant the clearest photos
10:56
They were coming out pixelated for some reason, although still not as bad as the other
11:05
foldable device, which I said before, the razor. So it looks like it's right now trying to use one of the autofocus to catch focus on the
11:16
that's what it was doing that weird pulsing. Okay, let me just put the camera, I mean that the camera light a little bit higher, and there we go
11:25
So continue on. I already set the front, well, the main display was a 7.3
11:33
Now you also have the secondary display, which I find really nice
11:38
A lot of people complain about the size of it. Let's say 4.6 inch as 720B display, which says 720 by 1680
11:52
And it's also a super Amulet display. As you can see, really nice
11:58
Also launches a camera. You can use the black one, as you can see
12:02
Flip it on to the front one, which the front one will not be the inside display
12:06
There's another camera right here. so let's just flip it over. And as can see, there is another one
12:11
So it's this one right here. So you have a couple different choices for cameras
12:18
So let's leave that. And this display is fully functional. You can use a phone solely off of this display
12:24
which not every phone has that, majority of the other one, foldable ones
12:29
I would say apart from the Huawei, even though they would have like additional display
12:35
almost all of them are virtually, useless. This one is fully usable. You can run only off of this display if you want to, if the one
12:44
inside breaks, for instance, you can use this one without any limitations. And whenever you're doing
12:51
something, as you've probably seen all those previews of the fault before, the super
12:56
stressed out guy doing the preview of this device when on a conference, you're seeing that
13:03
you could launch something like Maps as an example or any kind of app like YouTube
13:08
and when you open it up it will resume that instantaneously so you don't
13:15
really get the you don't lose any time you can flip it over get a full view of it so
13:21
just a nice progression now also another thing that I'll say when you're using
13:27
the inside screen you do have a couple things that I can do you can I think have
13:32
four different or three different apps running at the same time as you can see there is YouTube you can
13:38
drop on browser. So that's another one. Let's extend it once more. Let's drop notes on top
13:45
of it so we can drag it either on top here or here. Bam. Let's extend it once more. Drag over
13:52
Chrome as an example. And you can drop update it on here. So yeah, you can have four different
13:59
apps open at the same time. So the fourth one will be as a window as you can see like this
14:05
which you can actually resize if you want to move around. I can grab it somehow. Still kind of learning how to use this. Normally you should be
14:15
able to drag it around. It looks like for now I can't. And all these other apps are
14:21
fully usable so you can interact with everything as you can see. And everything
14:27
works just fine. And you could also watch the YouTube while doing
14:31
interacting with three different apps at the same time It a really nice multitasking I would say Although if you close it you lose well almost all of them The tiny screen in the front is not really suitable for that
14:50
And one thing that I kind of find to be a mess is a pen
14:55
Now if you ever use the note devices, they come with a pen, and they're smaller than this
15:01
But the pen is really nice. I've really enjoyed it. Here you don't get that
15:05
but then I also assumed that if you would, you probably would be damaging your screen
15:09
so they decided consciously to not include it because you pressing the pen to the screen
15:15
might actually damage it. These things are for some reason super fragile and you could
15:21
basically deform this screen by pressing your fingernail into it. So I would really
15:28
try to take care of this display. So if anything gets in here and you close it, you have
15:35
actually might damage the display permanently, so it will break a pixel, whatever, and then
15:41
it just kind of like starts spreading some black crap everywhere. I would advise you to look at, for instance, Jerry Rigg videos where he demolishes them
15:55
and he shows fairly well how brittle these devices are. When it comes down to just the overall build quality of these devices, they're made of aluminum
16:07
glass and plastic, plastic inside, as a screen here, glass pack, and aluminum frame
16:16
And they hold up fairly well in a durability test, so if you want to bend it or stuff like that
16:19
they do tend to be fairly well designed. The hinges are really nice
16:24
They do hold, although if you introduce something like dust or not that
16:30
but sand to the hinges, it will be just a audible nightmare, in my opinion
16:36
Imagine scratching a chalkboard with your nails, make that worse. That's basically what it will sound like every time you try to open the closet with the sand inside there
16:47
So it is a literal nightmare. And any kind of debris can get it in there
16:52
These devices are not sealed in any way, as you can see
16:56
If I flip it over, you have gaps all around here. between the hinge so any kind of debris can get in here even here as you can see
17:10
they did try to improve it with the with the iterations of the device because this is the
17:16
second one before you could basically pull off the plastic filling on here and this
17:21
would break the display so with the second one they did fix that up but still the
17:27
device is not sealed in any way and kind of trash can get under the display
17:36
Now, continuing on with the specifications probably, apart from talking about just a general usability of the device
17:47
It comes with a, like I said, main pixel shooter is a 16 megapixel
17:52
I can shoot at 4K. Device itself has a built-in 512 gigabytes of storage with a 12-gibyed of RAMs
18:00
so you have more RAM than some people have on their computer. And that is probably due to the fact that you can slap it on those Samsung ducts
18:10
and you can use it as a portable computer in itself by using a secondary display and just having it connected up dock
18:18
you just plop it there and have a desktop experience almost. And then the device itself comes with a Snapdragon 855
18:26
so it's not the newest one, but it's almost a new one. but it's almost in your own. I think at the moment you have 855 plus so you're just missing the plus
18:35
And then one comes to the battery even though the display or the entire phone itself is kind of big
18:42
This is an example this is a Huawei made 20 Pro and as a comparison you can see that it is
18:53
a little bit more more than half of this phone itself. So even though this is a huge phone you don't really have much battery space
19:05
This thing has 4,380 milli- amps battery which is I think even less than what I have right
19:12
in my phone or somewhere really close to what I have and my phone is smaller
19:19
Keep in mind I don't actually have to displace with a combined resolution probably twice
19:24
as high of whatever this has. So you do have the benefit of having these tablet-like displays which do fold
19:34
Now also apart from the storage being quite high, it comes to a UFS 3.0, that's a type of storage
19:41
comparable to an SSD in your computer. Now primarily before you had the flash storage in the smartphones before and they weren't the fastest one
19:52
This uses something alongside of an SSD but for the phone which is super fast
19:56
super fast, transfers data really quickly, so it is nice that it's included in a phone that it
20:04
has a fairly hefty price tag. Again, something that I cannot say for other foldable devices
20:15
And also, I don't, I'm not sure if I mentioned the front display I might have mentioned
20:23
but if I didn't we're going to say it quickly again that was a 720p
20:27
720 by 1680 display Ammolet 16 million colors and all that jazz
20:33
with a 4.6 inch small size and then let's go lastly to the
20:42
system of the device so this comes with the one UI from Samsung
20:49
just a scan on an Android 9 by default but can be upgraded to an Android 10, so the newest one on the market
20:56
So that is a really nice thing. And yeah. Now, as you can see, you can also bring up this stuff apparently here
21:05
I just found that out right now by checking what that was
21:11
What else is there to say? It has a fingerprint sensor on the side
21:16
So if I close it, you can see it. There we go. It's this thing right here. That's the fingerprint sensor. It does not double as a button. You do have a power key right here or side button. However you want to call it, Samsung started calling them side keys. So you don't try to power of the device, even though you have three different side keys. They call these volume keys. This is a side key because they disabled power off feature on it and just slapped a Bixby function to it if you try to hold it. As you can see
21:52
right now So now personally I not our greatest fan all the Pixby key and you can change it in the settings to some kind of other function So that is nice but I kind of don like just the idea of trying to jam you with the Pixby everywhere
22:11
and literally removing the previous one that was on the other side and now substituting it for the power key
22:17
Now, don't worry, you still can lock the device normally as you would with this button
22:23
so the function of unlocking and unlocking the device is still there
22:29
And lastly, I will say about the charging. So it does have a 15 watt fast charging
22:38
Nothing really mind-blowing. I think nowadays devices, even like older ones than this
22:43
reached out to 60 watt charging. I assume, in this case they might need a little bit more space inside
22:50
and they didn't want to compromise to make the device even bigger. so you do have to spend about a couple hours, about three hours to charge this device
22:59
instead of like 40 minutes and it also has a 15 watt fast charging the Chi charging
23:09
So if you have a good chi charger you can slap that on that charger, the wireless one
23:14
and it will also charge. That's why you have glass pack probably and also because it feels more premium
23:22
as you can probably see right now the device is an absolute finger magnet
23:26
and when it comes down to the inside display when you get it all fingered up and stuff
23:33
as you can see it's already kind of smudgy this is a nightmare to clean
23:38
number one because for me at least I'm scared that I'm going to scratch it
23:42
and number two the smudges and like grease doesn't want to come off of this plastic
23:47
display so that is really really annoying to clean You have to basically polish it until it's clean
23:55
And also because of the gaps right here, or like, bezzles I would say on the display all around
24:03
it still kind of leaves a little bit of like grease or just dirt
24:08
I would say, in the and the bezels right here. That is really hard to get because it's not flush as we're by now used to
24:16
So yeah, I think this is everything. This is everything that I can say about this device
24:23
Now I'll also go over appearance-wise from every angle. Just kind of get the light a little bit better shining
24:30
because it doesn't really do a very good job showing it. So as you can see
24:36
At the bottom, you do have only a charging port, USB type C
24:42
a microphone, I assume, and a loudspeaker right here. Then on the top, you have, I believe this is another speaker
24:51
right here. You can get the plate there. There we go. So you have the loudspeaker and other microphone for
24:57
like, you know, voice calls. Then on the left side you have a you have a sim try. This thing right
25:08
here and then on the right you do have volume record, sparky, fingerprint sensor and just antenna
25:15
all around. So those are the sides, top bottom and middle. Then on the closed front I guess
25:25
I'm not sure how to call it. You have the speaker when you pick up the calls. You don't actually
25:30
open it up to call. You have it closed like this. Camera display right here. Let me just light it up
25:39
There we go. Display. Nothing right here. So it's just a seamless glass almost apart from this
25:44
cut out right here for the speaker and then right here you have just the metal
25:50
framing a hinge framing with a nice simpson logo that hides away when you open it
25:57
up as you can see and on the back you have the triple camera setup with the
26:02
flash and some right here writing basically the marking has every device is on the
26:09
bottom I don't think I can get it on the camera and it's really hard to get it
26:14
It is fairly faint to right now, so it's acceptable that the camera doesn't actually see it
26:21
And yeah, now one thing that I'll say right off the bat, if you're a skeptical person about the foldable devices out of all the ones that exist
26:33
I tried basically all of them apart from the mate X. And this right now is in my opinion the best one
26:41
It feels the most premium, most well-billed. most well-built. You don't feel like it's gonna break right off the bat. It does have a
26:52
satisfying weight to it although some people it might be a little bit heavy and it does weigh
26:57
over 200 grams I believe so it's not the lightest device out there. But other than that I
27:09
feel like it's well-built. It feels nice in hand and the ability to flip the device open like so and just resume whatever you were doing and have this
27:19
entire check intake screen adds a lot of productivity in my opinion and i personally
27:25
might not have been the biggest fan of foldable ones but foldable devices but this in my opinion
27:30
is the best the best way to do it if you plan to have one of those like razor phones or for
27:35
instance a galaxy z flip it's virtually a normal smartphone as we have right now with like
27:43
for instance, just what I have, but with the ability to be folded in half
27:50
And in this case, you're overpaying for the fact that it can be folded. And also, it's not as durable, I would say
27:58
You lose also waterproofing. None of the foldable devices are waterproof, so that's one thing to keep in mind
28:06
So, yeah, this one feels, in my opinion, the best of all of them. and if you're planning to buy any one of the foldable devices I'll at the moment recommend this one
28:16
Nowadays it is not the cheapest one based on the fact that it costs two grand in dollars
28:25
But then he also get the wireless AKG headphones which all in itself I think costs like $200
28:32
So this device itself even though it's better doesn't cost much more than something like the
28:39
For instance, the Motorola Razor, which costs 1.5,000, or Z-flip that cost, I believe, 1,300 or something along those lines
28:51
Now it's still more expensive, but you can a little bit negate that price by, for instance, selling the headphones if you don't want them
28:58
And the devices, in my opinion, just overly better. Now, I am kind of repeating myself, so I guess this would be probably the end
29:06
I really like this device and nothing else to really say. So if you found this video helpful, don't forget to hit like, subscribe, and thanks for watching
