Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Real-World Test (Camera Comparison & Battery Test) By TheUnlockr

Foreign another day, another real world test today we're doing it on the Galaxy Z fold two um and I figured we would just maybe try to do this from a different neighborhood just to spice things up a little. We are still in Brooklyn where I actually live, but now we're in an area called dumbo. This neighborhood was once like most of the hoods lining the river here in Brooklyn, a manufacturing and trade hub, but nowadays, it's become a gentrified hood, with lots of artists moving into renovated lofts and has the highest concentration of tech startups in any neighborhood in New York city coffee check. Now this area is called dumbo, which might seem weird, that is the Manhattan bridge, and this is an area that's kind of right, underneath it and so dumbo stands for down under the Manhattan bridge overpass. Now that might seem a little redundant, because an overpass is obviously a bridge. But if you took out the o, then it would have just been called.

You know I'm going to assume that you came from plenty of other videos about this device, so I'm going to skip and spare you the boring specs, but first off one thing that we were all hoping for on the first model. They finally did on this model, which is give it a pretty much full screen on the outside. Now, with the old model, I actually ended up using the outside cover display for very specific things. I even only put certain apps on that display that I knew I could use on such a tiny screen, but with this one I feel like I actually kind of mimicked my normal home screen layout, that's on the inside now on the outside, because I can pretty much use it as a normal phone while closed, which is amazing. Now the display itself is very skinny.

I think it's like a 25 by nine aspect ratio or so, so certain little things like when I'm trying to type on it. I don't always hit the right keys because they're just so close together and small, but I actually get around this by just using the swipe function of the keyboard, which is what I kind of prefer to do when I'm using the phone with one hand anyway. Speaking of that, because of that skinniness of that display. So long as again, I use the swipe for my keyboard. It actually is a pretty decent one-handed device as long as you have to reach anything too high up on the screen, while using it one-handed and closed like this, you will also notice that it is a very thick phone.

I mean it is near, as makes no difference about the same thickness of two note: 20 ultras stacked on top of each other, but personally I don't mind that it fits just fine in my pocket, and it's something you just kind of have to live with when it comes to the world of folding phones in this format. Okay, let's check in on the battery like we do. I took this phone off its charger about nine. I was working a lot, so I didn't really use it too much, but now it is 2 p. m, and we are at probably can't see this but 68.

Apparently I made a friend dumbo is home actually also to a very popular photo spot that I'm sure you've seen many photos from this with, of course, the Manhattan bridge in the background, and unless you crop the photo like I did here, you don't really have a choice but to get other people in the photo, because it's just that popular people are just waiting around for their turn. To try to take their own photos. I mean it is a pretty photo. I get it, and it's cool of a photo as that is, but all people don't realize when they're standing here is that something very important was invented here at this building called the Robert gear building and a man by that same name actually in 1890, invented the pre-cut cardboard box here, and where would we be without that cardboard box? No, thank you, and this is timeout market. One of the markets that came out of all the warehouses that I mentioned down here, um it's massive, and it's this huge indoor market, with all these different vendors, etc.

But of course, because it's covered uh. Now those vendors are open, but you're not allowed to sit there. You can grab your food from them and then use it for takeout, or they have a very small rooftop area that you can then bring that food to, because here in New York city, we are only allowed to do outdoor dining. We're not allowed to do any type of most things inside which I'm not complaining about, seems to be working. Considering we're one of the few cities in the United States whose numbers are actually still going down for convent, so cool, also not a bad place to have a little like happy hour bite.

But lets real quick talk about the cameras now, while the camera module on this phone looks very similar to the note 20 ultras, it actually has three different cameras. The main camera is actually a 12 megapixel instead of 108 megapixels, and it has smaller pixel sizes. Even when they're bent together, and it's a smaller sensor, the telephoto is actually a two times optical zoom, instead of the five times optical zoom, that I actually really like on the note 20 ultra. So that's also kind of less than, and finally, we have the ultra-wide, which is very similar to the note 20 ultra, but has again smaller pixel sizes and just is a smaller sensor with a slightly larger field of view by three degrees, and personally I wish they literally just took you know, 20 ultra stuff and threw it into the fold for whatever reason they didn't do that. So you kind of feel like you're, just getting slightly fewer specs as far as the camera is concerned than if you went for the much less expensive.

Obviously it doesn't fold in half note 20 ultra, as you can tell from the photos in this video, the camera's, not bad by any means it just slightly irks me to know what Samsung is capable of with a camera because of the note 20 ultra and then how they kind of just like handicap. This one just a little. One of the unique things about this camera system, though, is that you can start taking a selfie with the phone closed and then tap this selfie button at the top right then open the device, and this will use the rear cameras, which are arguably much better quality, and you have different options compared to the tiny one above the outside screen. Okay, with that, let's get out of here, it is 607 pm, and we are at 39 percent. Oh hello, then now we've made it kind of to the end of dumbo, at least according to google maps neighborhood map um, but it's kind of funny, because we're no longer under the Manhattan bridge we're now actually under the Brooklyn Bridge.

But there you go now real. Quick, though I want to talk about some productivity things about this device, because, obviously part of the reason you want this large screen is to be more productive with your phone right. So, firstly, we have a level of app continuity. Just like we did with the original fold. You can take any app.

You have open on the cover screen and if you open, the phone it'll continue where it left off on the larger screen inside and so long as you go to settings display continue apps on cover screen, you can select specific apps. Furthermore, you want to continue when you go from the large screen to the smaller one, as well, with a few exceptions that just don't work like Instagram, for example, which, by the way they've cropped. The sides off of my guess, is so that Instagram stories are at least closer to what they should look like. Instead of getting as severely cut off as the original fold did. When you used the larger screen.

If you want to use multiple apps on the large screen, you can swipe up to get to multitasking tap and hold on any icon for any app that supports it and select open in split screen view. Then you can choose another app on the other side to have them both open next to each other. You can also move the divider between them to adjust the real estate that each one gets, and you can tap the divider to swap them or to change them from vertical to a horizontal split. You can also pull in on the floating bar on the side of the screen and drag and drop another app into the designated areas on the screen to get three apps open at once. And finally, you can add one last fourth, one and the same way as a floating window in the center that you can then move around freely tapping the icon on any of these windows gives you options to have them replace other apps that are open or other options as well and pulling the divider all the way.

To one side will then full screen the app as usual. Something else that's kind of clever is that you can tap on that divider when you have multiple apps open, and then you can save the pair of apps to the slide out drawer on the right and whenever you tap on it from there they'll, both open up at once. You can even drag out a third app and then save all three in the same way as well. Okay, we're at a place called Harriet's on top of the one hotel. I think I like just crossed the border of dumbo into Brooklyn Heights.

I was trying to keep the entire video in dumbo, but whatever it's a really nice place to have dinner and drink, but also much more importantly, it's a good place to test out the low-light camera on this phone. So, okay calling it a night. It is 11 04 p. m, and we are at four percent. Here's my screen on time of my usage for those that are curious, but there you go.

What do you guys think? Let me know what you thought of this video. I tried to be more foggy as usual. Now you guys seem to enjoy that. So I keep doing it, and also it's more fun for me um, but I did try to like to include that neighborhood and just uh see what you guys thought about that and kind of wandering around that neighborhood. It was fun for me as well.

So let me know in the comments below what you guys thought of that of this video in general of the phone. I would love to know what you guys think of this fold, this folding device, because I think it is very interesting. I personally I really like it. Furthermore, I'm not going to lie the price is a factor obviously, but for what it is. I think they're on the right track, but let me know what you guys think.
