  • Galaxy fold.

  • Oh, my goodness.

  • A complete shift in smartphones.

  • You already know you watch the on boxing video.

  • Now I'm playing with the thing I'm getting so many people saying, like, How do you even compare this thing?

  • Like, What do you put it up against?

  • The closest we can do.

  • Right now it's stack it up against the other flagship devices that exist.

  • And for me, this is kind of useful.

  • I feel like just putting these devices together, booting up YouTube.

  • You can kind of get a sense for how the fold stacks up against these other bones.

  • This, on the far left, is the brand new galaxy fold.

  • Fold it out.

  • It's on the YouTube home feed right now.

  • Next to that, you have the current phone that I'm using dense DP 30 pro.

  • Next to that, that's the latest A galaxy s 10 plus and there are far right iPhone 10 s, Max, and they're all in the YouTube home feed.

  • As you can tell, the the watch window that exists right on the home feed without turning the device into landscape is almost as big as these phones are.

  • Completely.

  • So if I take this iPhone, for example.

  • I flip it and kind of drop it in there.

  • Yes, it extends beyond the frame of the galaxy fold, but not by much You can think about this is like always having a large scale landscape device in your hands except in portrait mode.

  • Now the aspect ratio is is quite bizarre as well, because what happens is when you flip this thing into actual landscape.

  • Of course, it gets much larger.

  • But the aspect ratio is not that of a typical smartphone.

  • You know, Typical smartphones have been getting Maur and more narrow recently, so much so that a lot of content creators are actually producing their videos in that slim almost to buy one aspect ratio.

  • Now it kind of goes the opposite direction where, as you can see, you have black bars on the top and bottom, and what you really want is a taller video.

  • But nonetheless, this gives you an idea of how much video you could fit on the screen in 16 by nine, and it's a ton.

  • In fact, so much so that this this video watching experience like this is more similar to a tablet than it is to a smartphone, as I'm sure you can tell Now when you go ahead and let's say you take the iPhone, you can see you actually end up with a much slimmer image.

  • That's the biggest difference.

  • So things get pinched this way and you end up with the black bars on the other side.

  • Now, granted, it's important to note that within YouTube, there's no way currently to fill the display.

  • I'm sure this will be updated in an APP update for YouTube itself, as well as other absent start to take into consideration devices like the cold.

  • But for now, that's your maximum display size, whereas on these other devices you crop in like this in order to fill the frame, and you end up with an image kind of similar for video watching.

  • Granted, it's important to remember that on the iPhone or these other two devices, if you do crop into a video, you are actually losing some of the video on the top in the bottom.

  • I'm sure you're already aware of this.

  • That's if you want to see the full video.

  • So this is a better one toe one representation of how much extra screen you're dealing with on the phone now.

  • Thinness.

  • When it's folded out, it's actually thinner.

  • It's ever so slightly thinner than the iPhone.

  • It's just a bit batter and the fold when folded out.

  • Same thing goes for the P 30 pro.

  • It's a little bit fatter, and the Galaxy s 10 plus is almost identical.

  • Another surprising thing to me with this device has been how light it is like it's It's one area where I was skeptical when I saw the original clip.

  • I'm like, It's not gonna be fatiguing toe.

  • Hold it for periods of time.

  • Uh, you know, is it going to be comfortable?

  • And the weight of it has a lot to do with that.

  • And the weight distribution and the truth is it's super comfy Toehold.

  • You feel like you could kind of be set up like this right here for a while, without any problems.

  • Of course, it's also important to have the comparison enfolded mode because it looks really tall in pictures.

  • I expected it to be a lot taller than it is.

  • It's similar in height to any flag chip large size smartphone that's out there right now.

  • No granted in the folded mode.

  • It's quite a bit fatter, as you can see on that angle right there.

  • That said, The pocket test.

  • Kinda surprising, I'll show you for all intents and purposes, I mean, yeah, there's Bora Bora thing there.

  • You don't feel any different it does it feel to big in your pocket just for comparison.

  • That's the pocket test.

  • Galaxy Bold.

  • This is pocket test tennis, Max.

  • It's super easy in the pocket again, an area where I was skeptical and it turned out better than I expected.

  • Now, speakers also very important.

  • I think video watching is gonna be a big part of why people pick up this particular device will bring up the same video on all of them to test the speakers.

  • Or how about the fold on boxing?

  • Why not now?

  • The other thing I should mention right now is that I didn't necessarily expect tow watch most of my video on the fold in portrait mode.

  • I would have thought I would flip it into a landscape.

  • But what ends up happening is it's as big as you're used to, with a smartphone almost in portrait mode, to the point where you're kind of happy to leave it pause so that you can go down and either scroll the suggested videos or scroll the comments So you can kind of be doing two things at once, which you already kind of do on your smartphone.

  • At least a lot of people do.

  • Except here.

  • The frame is quite small to the point where you do feel the need to flip the phone around on a frequent basis.

  • Watching YouTube on any of these smart phones, even though these are the biggest ones that most people have.

  • Let's do volume tests now he do.

  • He's got a special package today.

  • He pulled some strings.

  • Would you look at this?

  • Oh, my goodness.

  • Gallic on people in front of me.

  • This is a whole.

  • This is a leap we've been waiting for.

  • I've been waiting for myself.

  • It talks about this thing a lot one people have been waiting for.

  • I've been waiting for myself.

  • What better way to find?

  • And now it's here.

  • It's in front of me.

  • This is a whole.

  • This is a leap.

  • The speakers are their flagship territory.

  • I'd say they're a bit better.

  • I would say that they're better than these three devices in terms of clarity.

  • Of course, you have true stereo speakers on here, so holding it in landscape mode is going to improve their performance, even Maur as it gets Elza consumption device.

  • That's where this thing really shines.

  • That brings me to the next thing I want to mention, actually, which along with video, which is the obvious reason to have a big display keyboard, was a surprising place as well.

  • You can see what a typical keyboard size looks like on a flagship device, but look what happens over in the galaxy full.

  • As you can tell, it's a split.

  • He bored.

  • Now you can change this.

  • You can go to a keyboard more like either of these, if you choose to.

  • This for me is the best layout.

  • And, as you can tell, if the thumb typing is unreal in this scenario the quick brown you get the idea from a productivity standpoint.

  • This is big because this is one of the reasons that people reach for a laptop tablet or bigger device because typing on a phone has its limitations.

  • When you go into a landscape, of course, what happens is, you lose most of your display.

  • So if you were trying to go through a bunch of emails productivity stuff, you find yourself scrolling through the email that sits there and you don't end up with that much bigger of a keyboard anyhow.

  • Not only do you get a bigger consumption device, you get a bigger productivity devices while you're going to Seymour.

  • It's kind of like to smartphone.

  • It's kind of like a tablet in a smartphone form factor.

  • So now the interesting thing on the Web is that you kind of lose out on some of the advantage of the bigger display because it's loading up the mobile site.

  • You're limited to that particular design.

  • What you'll probably do with this device is actually triggered the desktop version, and it's big enough that the desktop version actually works pretty well.

  • And, as you can see here, you now I'm getting way more information on the display comparatively to this where I probably have to scroll a bit more.

  • But in order to truly take advantage, you kind of have to treat this like a tablet when it's folded out or like a laptop.

  • Now I've got Instagram loaded up.

  • Obviously, the Leo is identical, but the experience is kind of different just because of the scale.

  • So obviously unfold side.

  • You got bigger images, but interestingly, you don't necessarily have Maur.

  • You don't see as many.

  • And this could be a thing again where the APP developer could change this and go in and have it show up differently for the fold.

  • Not sure that it will, but as of right now on these flagship devices, you actually Seymour in the feed just smaller versions of the images.

  • Now, if you go to the Discover Page, for example, is kind of more of the same, you'll get bigger thumbnails unfold.

  • But you Seymour in one glance on the other three flagships.

  • Because videos on Instagram are square, they take up almost the entire display off the fold.

  • Now, comparatively, you'll see that the square I mean, it really only takes up half the screen.

  • It really, truly is almost like two flagship smartphones stack beside each other.

  • It's very close, since you basically do have to smartphones pain together that fold out, you might want to multi task instead of only doing one thing at once.

  • All right.

  • So here's what it looks like with Tuapse open.

  • This is kind of wild.

  • Now you can adjust it as well like this.

  • So now I have the mobile version of this website that I'm scrolling while watching YouTube.

  • Click on the video scroll over.

  • I mean, it's really like to smartphones side by side.

  • But you want to get real crazy, you can add 1/3 apt to it.

  • I could go ahead and open up the place tor.

  • And now you got three absalon to display instead of two or one.

  • I don't know.

  • Maybe you gotta have ah, chat open.

  • Maybe you have slack or what's happy one?

  • Keep it open in the corner while watching a video and also browsing the web.

  • Maybe you're crazy like that.

  • I think Tuapse is more reasonable and probably is gonna be utilized for frequently than three.

  • But at least they let you do it.

  • It's completely up to you.

  • You have the screen real estate, so go ahead and get after it.

  • These on the left hand side are very mature versions of with this might eventually beat.

  • You're looking at version 1.0 in the case of the fold.

  • But surprisingly, it seems like it's already a good version, like a surprisingly polished version for something that's a 1.0, type of device.

  • And that's the part that's impressive to me for something this ambitious that it can be polished it all now, I don't know, having played with it how much functionality I'm gonna get out of the closed off phone.

  • This is a bizarre situation here.

  • It's like, when How often are you going to use that?

  • You know, in the short time that I've had it, I've realized you just flip it open almost for everything.

  • Kind of like a laptop.

  • You stop thinking about the fact that you're flipping it open and the screen and the real estate is so nice toe have that.

  • You kind of feel handicapped being on the exterior display.

  • So you just pick it up.

  • You flip it quick and you just operate like that.

  • And the cool thing is, you just want to open and close it frequently.

  • Anyways, I'm gonna be that guy opening and closing this thing.

  • It's just there's something about the mechanical aspect of that which is just quite satisfying in a bizarre way.

  • So there it is.

  • It's the Galaxy fold.

  • That's how it stacks up to the other flag ships in the marketplace.

  • Once again, that's the iPhone.

  • Tennis Max P.

  • 30 pro from Wall Way.

  • This is the Samsung Galaxy s 10 and this is the latest player on the block.

  • I can't wait to use it more.

  • It is the Galaxy fold.

  • It's a whole new thing, guys.

  • I've been this excited for a smartphone in a while.

  • It's just fun.

  • It's fun to play with something this different.

Galaxy fold.
