00:02 If you're looking for a phone and mini tablet in one device,
00:06 our Galaxy Z Fold 5 versus Pixel Fold face-off
00:09 will help you decide which is truly
00:10 the best foldable phone for you.
00:12 And it's important to do some research
00:14 because we're talking about parting with at least $1,800
00:17 for both devices.
00:18 While both of these foldable phones
00:19 sport huge 7.6 inch main displays,
00:22 they take very different approaches to their overall design.
00:25 The Galaxy Z Fold 5 wins this face-off
00:27 against the Pixel Fold,
00:28 and it really comes down to a few areas.
00:30 Samsung's phone is lighter to carry around,
00:33 features a brighter main display,
00:35 and offers faster performance.
00:37 I also like the smaller bezels around the inner screen
00:39 and the fact that the Z Fold 5 lasts longer on a charge.
00:42 If you're into multitasking,
00:43 the Z Fold 5 is the better pick
00:45 because you can run up to three apps at once,
00:47 and the task bar is always there at the ready.
00:50 However, there are some reasons
00:51 to buy the Pixel Fold instead.
00:53 I much prefer the wider cover display on the Pixel Fold,
00:56 and it's easier to type on and use apps.
00:58 And I also like the Pixel Fold's cameras
01:00 in low-light situations.
01:02 Plus, some will prefer the wider internal display.
01:06 So the Galaxy Z Fold 5 takes the crown this time,
01:08 but the Pixel Fold is still
01:09 a very impressive foldable phone,
01:11 especially for Google's first effort.
