5.0 out of 5 starsBeautiful, solid, super fast android phone by samsung!!
Reviewed in the United States on January 25, 2024
So I've been using Motorola phones the past five or so years, buying a new one every 18 months or so to get an extra 2gb of ram to boost the speed of the android operating system. These phones were mid tier at best phones bought for 200-300 dollars each time. They always got the job done but I was never impressed by the speed of the phone, often times running Facebook by itself would run slow let alone multiple apps would stall the phones a ton.
So over 4-5 years I bought 4 phones for about $1,2000 total, figuring each time I was owning a phone almost as fast as a Samsung for 1/5 the price. I run an Etsy and Ebay business now and my phone is my life. On my Motorola everything was average, the camera, the processor, the ram, the battery, etc.
So I had been researching these new Samsung phones, especially the S23+ Ultra and this Z Fold 5, and feel in love with everything I saw, including the reviews. After owning mid tier phones for half a decade I guess I simply forgot there's a reason why if you love Android over IOS you go with Samsung.
Pricey, sure it is. But my God, the display is a thing of beauty to start. The speed is also so incredible I forgot what it was like to multi task on a phone in Nana seconds with absolutely no lag. Samsung truly knows how to build a superior product and it's worth every penny!!
12 gb of ram make this thing run multiple applications at once without any problem. In settings there's even an extra mouse that takes 8gb of your internal memory and turns it into more ram, which is icing in the cake.
The phone itself is extremely solid and hard to break or Crack. I bought the case with the s pen built into it and love the features and case. Folding it out to watch you tube videos feels like in using a tablet whenever I want, as well as running multiple apps side by side flawlessly.
The camera is super impressive with the 50mp option that really helps me take great photos of my vintage products I sell. Couldn't be happier.
The only, single complaint, if I dare call it that, would be the battery life is very similar to the moto phones I owned before. Even if I only use the front screen it doesn't last as long as I expected. Luckily it comes with a special charger that literally takes it from 20% to 100% in line 40 minutes, so I'm satisfied as a whole with the battery, not enough of a problem to not give it 5 stars.
Thanks Samsung, I now remember what is like to have lightning fast operating system, to get every actual notification correctly, a screen to watch movies and videos that's amazing, a Samsung one OS that makes the fold out screen work flawlessly with multiple apps, and settings for every tiny thing possible.
I spent $1,500 instead of $300 on a moto, but I'm sure this phone will last me 3-5 years easily. Definitely recommend this product.
