Samsung Galaxy Fold vs Galaxy Z Fold 2: A Massive Upgrade! By #GNTECH

The Samsung Galaxy zed fall, 2 comes a year since the original fold, and it's a huge change, to say the least, pretty much fixing everything that was wrong with the original fold side by side. The fold 2 has the larger footprint for sure. So you lose a bit of compactness. You got with the original fold, but while the original only had a 4.6 inch, super AMOLED cover display so pretty much unusable for regular use. The 6.2 inch super AMOLED on the full 2 with that 25 by 9 aspect. Ratio makes a lot more sense, it's more usable, but with that bigger screen, it makes the fold to slightly taller as well when closed the fall.2 at 16.8 millimeters is thicker than the original folds 15.5 millimeter thickness, and the photo also comes in at 282 grams, which is 19 grams heavier than the original fold at 263 grams, and you do feel all of these differences in the hand. But we think these trade-offs are definitely worth it for what it brings around the devices, though everything stays fairly similar and placements, like the stereo speakers and the microphones, if not for slight movements are about the same, but one improvement that does come is the side mounted fingerprint scanner which now doubles as the power button on the fold too, something that's just a bit more intuitive compared to having a separate scanner on the original fold and the trade-off with the compact feel in the hand that I talked about earlier, though, doesn't necessarily go to waste.

The original fold could be called the leader for foldable smartphones, but with that in mind, it didn't feel the most solid, the hinge felt fragile and loose, and there was no conviction about it. Almost feeling like two separate parts, but with the fold too, it's so much better. The new cam mechanism borrowed from the zed flip is on the fall too, and this takes up the overall user experience by a considerable amount with the device feeling solid at all times more, so you can take advantage of the fall 2's flex mode here using it. Like a laptop with certain applications, also adapting to this mode, something that the original fall just couldn't do well, we've spoken in length about the hinge on both devices, but let's take a look at both of them on the inside. The original fold opens up to a plastic 7.3 inch, dynamic, AMOLED panel, which is still pretty good, but arguably a bit fragile and not as vibrant as the fold 2's larger 7.6 inch, dynamic, AMOLED 2x panel with ultra-thin glass and an adaptive 120hz refresh rate, so you could say pretty much. The majority of all of these upgrades have come on the inside display.

The refresh rate makes everything smoother, and we're glad Samsung was able to incorporate it in a folding panel. Another change on the inside is that dual 10 and 8 megapixel cover camera. The notch housing that on the inside of the original fold, is thankfully gone replaced by a 10, megapixel dot camera for a much cleaner look. As far as the display and the build quality is concerned, the fall 2 is a huge step up, but unfortunately, there's still that crease, which often disappears when in general usage and perhaps, if we're being a bit too greedy, some form of IP certification on the fold 2, would have really completed the experience. Of course, changes to the internals were pretty much expected with this being a generational upgrade.

So while the Qualcomm snapdragon 855 chips and 12 gigabytes of ram combination is by no means a bad one. On the original fold, it is trumped by the faster performing Qualcomm, snapdragon, 865, plus and again 12 gigabytes of ram. Both the smartphones come with 5g support NATO sim and ENIM, and no micro SD card expansion coming with up to 512 gigabytes of storage, although only the 256 gigabyte variant of the fall 2 is available here at the moment, and it comes with the updated UFS, 3.1 storage, making, read and write speeds and general installation times for your application slightly faster than the original falls. UFS 3.0 on the software front, we're looking at probably the most identical experience. Barring a few changes.

Both smartphones have android 10 draped over Samsung's one UI software, with its one UI 2.1 on the fold and one UI 2.5 on the fold too. However, it's not that much of a visible change. If you ask us and if you're coming from any Samsung flagship, you feel right at home with things like Samsung's decks, there's also slightly better application, optimization on the phone too, but much of that comes down to developers more than anything else, so we still find some applications that do not support the transition between the small to the big screen without actually restarting the application. But we are seeing more work done on this in recent times and with that immersive and smooth display gaming in particular, just feels so fluid. So it's quite a bit of an experience, and you should really try it out if you get your hands on the fall too at any point in time, one of the other things to focus on is the camera.

Last year we saw the fold adopt pretty much flagship camera specifications for its time with the 12 megapixel main 12 megapixel telephoto and 16 megapixel ultra-wide triple camera setup. Of course there was the dual camera configuration we talked about earlier on the phones inside and another 10 megapixel setup on the cover on the fall 2, it's a simpler setup with a triple 12 megapixel camera setup made up of a main telephoto and ultra-wide angle lens. Aside from that, you also find a 10 megapixel camera on the inside and another 10 megapixel camera for your cover display, so the full two's camera setup doesn't really have the flamboyant 108 megapixel sensor, found on the s20 ultra or the note 20 ultra, nor that space zoom, but its camera bump is still pretty big. On the back now we haven't had much time to compare both of these as much as we'd like, but here are some preliminary samples just to make a judgement. Something I do want to add, though, is that the fall 2 gives users the option to use the main cameras for your selfies too, which improve the quality drastically, and you can play around with things like the ultra-wide angle lens, which I found to be pretty amusing.

As far as video is concerned, both smartphones can do 4k 60fps from the main lenses toning it down to 4k 30fps from the front-facing or selfie sensors for the battery 2 we'll need to spend more time with the full 2 in depth. But as far as the numbers are concerned, it's a 4 285 William hour cell on the original fold, which is trumped by the full two's 4 500 William SL, but it uses the same two-part battery technology. Interestingly, the fold 2 supports faster 25 watt, wired, slower 11 watt wireless and the same 4.5 watt. Reverse wireless charging speeds compared to the original fold at 15, watts, 15 watts and 4.5 watts respectively. But hopefully this video gives you a good account of all the changes, differences and variations between these two devices.

Now, of course, the original fold may be available to you for a lot less in terms of price at the moment, compared to the full two, however, considering where the original fault was priced at when it launched the fall, 2 brings more value from money. So, if you're in the market for a purchase like this one, a premium smartphone, the full 2 definitely feels refined and not like a test project which the original fold felt in many cases last year. That's about it for this one. Thank you guys for watching and do subscribe and like for more videos to come. This was vape and I'll.

See you in the next one adios.
